Transport for Tomorrow

One thing is certain about the public transport of the future: it

must be more efficient than it is today. The time is coming when it

will be quicker to fly across the Atlantic to New York than to travel

from home to office. The two main problems are: what vehicle shall

we use and how can we plan our use of it?

There are already some modern vehicles which are not yet in

common use, but which may become a usual means of transport in

the future. One of these is the small electric car: we go out into the

street, find an empty car, get into it, drive to our destination, get

out and leave the car for the next person who comes along. In fact,

there may be no need to drive these cars. With an automatic guidance

system for cars being developed, it will be possible for us to select

our destination just as today we select a telephone number, and

our car will move automatically to the address we want.

For long journeys in private cars one can also use an automatic

guidance system. Arriving at the motorway, a driver will select the

lane^ he wishes to use, switch over to automatic driving, and then

relax — dream, read the newspaper, have a meal, flirt with his passenger

— while the car does the work for him. Unbelievable? It is

already possible. Just as in many ships and aircraft today we are pi-

loted automatically for the greater part of the journey, so in the future

we can also have this luxury in our own cars.

A decade ago, the only thing electronic on most automobiles

was the radio. But at present sophisticated electronics is playing a

big part in current automotive research. For example, in every

gasoline-powered^ car that General Motors Corporation makes

there is a small computer continuously monitoring the exhaust.

The device, about the size of a pack of cigarettes, adjusts the vehicle

carburetor fuel intake^ to get the best fuel economy. Ford cars

are equipped with an electronic instrument panel that, among

other things^, will calculate how far one can drive on the fuel left

in the tank. It will also estimate the time of arrival at destination

and tell the driver what speed he has averaged^ since turning on

the ignition.

According to specialists these features made possible by microelectronics

are only the beginning. Radar may control the brakes to

avoid collisions, and a display screen may show the car's position

on the road. Recently a radar to be mounted on lorries and cars has

been designed in the USA. The radar aerial looks like a third headlight

placed directly above the bumper. Having summed up the information

about the speed and distance of various objects ahead, the

computer detects all possible dangers and their nature. A third component

in the system is a monitor on the instrument panel. The radar

only observes objects ahead of the vehicle. It is automatically turned

on when the speed exceeds ten miles an hour. The green light on the

panel indicates that the system is on. The yellow light warns of stationary

objects ahead, or something moving slower than the car. The

red light and buzzer warn that the speed should go down. Another

red light and sound signal make the driver apply the brakes.

A Japanese company is designing a car of a new generation.

When completed, the new model will have a lot of unusual characteristics.

The car's four-wheel control system will ensure movement

diagonally and even sideways, like a crab, at right angles to

the longitudinal axis. This is especially important when leaving the

car in parking places. To help the driver get information while concentrating

on the road, the most important data will be projected

on the wind screen. A tourist travelling in such a car will not lose

his way even in Sahara with its impassable roads: a navigation Earth

satellite will indicate the route.

A new ceramic engine has been developed in Japan. Many important

parts as pistons, pressure rings^, valves and some others

have been made of various ceramic materials, piston rings'^ made of

silicon materials being in many respects better than those of steel.

They withstand temperatures up to 1,000 °C. Therefore, the engine

does not need a cooling system.

А new vacuum-controlled constant velocity carburetor developed

by an American company offers several advantages over ordinary

carburetors, including 25 per cent gasoline economy, improved

engine performance and easier starting. The device having only 54

parts compared with some 300 in conventional carburetors has no

choke (дроссель). It constantly adjusts the mixture of fuel and air,

which cannot be done in usual carburetors. Provided with special

mechanism the carburetor helps the engine turn on at once in cold

weather. Though developed quite recently, it is already being used

by cars and other kinds of public transport. With diesel engine becoming

almost standard equipment, the vacuum carburetor will

never be used on new cars. It may be said that present-day carburetors

are dinosaurs and in 20 years there won't be any more. But

there are some countries which are interested in importing the device

as a replacement for existing carburetors.

you that he had bought it?

J: He told me yesterday that he had bought it two days earlier.

B: Do you know how much he paid for the car?

J: Well, he said he had paid 800 dollars for it.

car.

J.: Well, I suppose he will use it for his new job.

в.: Do you think the car is in good condition?

J.: He told me that the car was in perfect condition. The tires are

practically new. The new generator works perfectly. Frankly

(откровенно говоря), I think that it was a good bargain

(выгодная покупка, хорошая сделка).

В.: I believe you are right.

J.: I haven't mentioned that the car had been driven only 25,000

miles. Also, the covers (чехлы) which are on the front seats are

new. They are made of material that can be washed.

В.: Now I want to see how well the car really runs.

J.: O.K. Let's ask Bob when he is going for a ride. Then we can see

whether or not the car runs well.

В.: Do you know if Bob is going to come back here soon?

J.: Yes, I'm sure he'll be back right away (сразу, немедленно).

В.: By the way (между прочим), can you tell me where Bob is

keeping his car?

J.: He is using the garage of the people living next door.

It is natural that everybody should want to have a car.

One point of view: It is convenient, saving time, avoiding crowded buses and

other city transport, independent, comfortable, useful at weekends, contact with

nature, developing the sense of responsibility, improving the level of technological

culture.

A contrary point of view: Expensive, traffic jams (пробки в уличном

движении), difficulties with repairs and maintenance, pollution, lack of physical

exercise, takes more time than it saves, road accidents, waste of energy resources,

the unbearable situation in many cities, especially in supercities.

Exercise 6. Read and smile.

On the Bus

It was during the rush-hour (часы пик). As usual, all the seats

in the bus were occupied. When a good-looking young lady got in,

an elderly man sitting near the door wanted to rise, but the lady at

once pressed him to keep his seat. «Thank you», she said, «I don't

mind standing.» «But, madam, permit me...». «I insist upon your

sitting down,» she stopped him, and putting her hands on his

shoulders she almost forced him back into his seat.

The man tried again to stand up and said, «Madam, will you allow

me to...» But once more the lady said, «I don't wish to take

your seat, sir!» and forced him back with another push.

With a great effort the man finally pushed her aside. «Madam»,

he called out, «I don't care whether you take my seat or not. The

bus has already taken me two stops beyond my destination, and

now I wish to get out.»

A good-looking lady-motorist was speeding through the sleepy

village when a policeman stepped out on the road in front of her

and forced her to stop. «What have I done?» she asked. «You were

travelling forty miles an hour», replied the policeman. «Forty miles

an hour!» cried the lady-motorist in surprise, «I left my house only

20 minutes ago».
