Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human Recently, China has made a big stop toward self—driving technology. Since August, 2024, driverless taxis can run on en roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen.
Why do we develop self—driving cars

Also， during weather events like heavy snow， self—driving cars wouldn't see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car's computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction.
It's clear that there is still a long way to go to make self—driving cars a common and sate sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen, said China Daily.

Plants Crying in Pain
Try to think about this: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Suddenly, the tomato starts to scream（尖叫）！This would never really happen. But a new study shows that plants make sounds when they are cutoff their stems.
Scientists in Israel did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones（超声传声器）to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. They listened to three groups of plants.
The first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times every hour. The third group only made the sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Lilach Hadany from the study team told CNN.
Scientists believed that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on. When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which one to eat.
The scientists also listened to other crops such as wheat（小麦）and corn. They also made more sounds when stressed. Scientists said the study can help farmers in the future. They can better take care of the crops by “hearing” how plants feel.
