明天的句子：

Right now, fully autonomous cars are rolling around Pittsburgh, the San Francisco Bay area, and parts of Michigan, shuttling people from here to there with minimal manual intervention. Instead of fixing the old subway trains, let’s rip out the tracks and fill the tunnels with fleets of autonomous vehicles running on pavement. The result would be radical improvements in throughput while saving money and increasing the ability of the system to survive a fire, flood, or terrorist attack.

思考题一：

Autonomous cars are widely used in many American cities to replace the old trains.

思考题二：

The system of subway is vulnerable to fire and flood constrat to the autonomous vehicles.
