II. READING

TASK 1. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

In the future, transportation will change greatly thanks to technology. Self-driving cars will become more common, making travel safer and more convenient. These vehicles will use sensors and GPS systems to move without human control, helping to reduce traffic accidents and improve travel times. People will be able to relax, work, or even sleep while the car drives itself.

Another major change will be the use of electric and flying vehicles. Electric cars are already becoming popular because they do not produce harmful gases. In the future, flying cars may also be used in crowded cities to save space and reduce traffic jams. Some companies are already testing flying taxis that take off and land vertically, just like helicopters.
