In many ways such driverless cars are already with us. There is partial automation in many cars, such as intelligent braking, lane departure warning and automatic parking. The systems are there {A; B; C} cars can pretty much drive themselves. No one noticed the introduction of cruise control. We've got collision avoidance, and we'll soon have automatic lane change.
Improving this technology should make the roads safer. Machines are much better at following rules than humans. Driveway signs advise drivers to slow down to avoid {A; B; C} jams. They are often ignored by drivers. But it won't happen {A; B; C} a computer. Driverless cars could also choose the best route to avoid traffic jams.
Fewer jams will mean {A; B; C} stop-start driving. Maintaining smooth and constant speeds will improve fuel efficiency. Computers could also be programmed to take the greenest route, rather than the fastest one. Under computer control, cars could also travel much closer together.
They can effectively “slipstream” one another and use less fuel to move themselves forward. They can even form. multi-car “trains” going {A; B; C} high speeds. However, with driverless cars on the roads, there will be potential trust issues between people and machines. We could therefore see guard rails back on the sides of pavements. This would be a backwards step.

Computer Software
CHENGDU-Chinese scientists have developed a computer software system which can automatically translate Internet files into the Chinese language.
The software has the capacity to translate 150,000 Chinese characters per hour, with 80 percent of the total content easily understandable after the translation process.
The major problem hindering the development of the Internet in China is the language barrier. Many Chinese users feel that their English is inadequate for operating the Internet, which is predominantly in English.
Development of translation software is part of a high-tech program introduced by the State Science and technology Commission in the niid-1980s.
The software, jointly developed by a research institute and a university in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, runs in the Windows environment. Users can use a mouse to achieve instant translations, while maintaining the original format of documents or pictures.
