Over the past few years, cars have become smarter. Some of them can even drive themselves. Now, our roads are also becoming smart. In the United Kingdom alone, there are around 650 kilometres of "smart roads" in use. Across the world, many more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use.
Roads that make electricity(电)
The environmental problem has forced us to search for new energy(能源). With the right technologies, cars around the world could make energy as they go.
The roads are built out of something special. When cars drive on them, the vibrations from passing cars make electricity. In this way, the electricity will continue to come until the cars stop. This technology first came out in 1880. However, it has never been widely used before. The UK's Lancaster University is improving it. They are trying to store the electricity in the car for later use.
Roads that never freeze
It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A technology company has already developed the snowless roads. When there is snow or ice, the roads will get warm themselves. The idea has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks.
Roads that think
Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could tell about the weather and traffic conditions, and offer electricity to cars as they drive.
This seems to be a dream, but one American company has almost made it come true. By guessing the weight(重量) of a car, the company's smart roads can know how fast it moves. "We are simply making very large special computers on the road," says Tim Sylvester, CEO of the company. "The roads collect all the information of the travelling car and send it to the driver to help him drive more safely."
