43、utnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.It is not always the case,though.When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars,there doesnt seem to be a clear generational divide.The public overall is split on whether theyd like to use a driverless car.In a study last year,of all
44、 people surveyed,48 percent said they wanted to ride in one,while 50 percent did not.The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be.Not everyone wants a driverless car nowand no one can get one yet
45、but among those who are open to them,every age group is similarly involved.Actually,this isnt surprising.Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies,driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular.Older adults,especially those with limited moving
46、or difficulty driving on their own,are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.When it comes to driverless cars,differences in attitude are easil

48、diploma or less.Where a person lives matters,too.More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.While theres reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board,a persons age will have little to do
49、with how self-driving cars can become mainstream.Once driverless cars are actually available for sale,the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新科技无人驾驶汽车。这项科技受到各个年龄段的人的欢迎。28.Whathappenswhenanewtechnologyappears?A.Itoftenleadstogreatinventionsinotherrelate
