听力练习 Listening Comprehension
1. Level 0 relates to almost every car you'll see out on the road today, as there is no automation at all. Level 1 is the lowest level of actual automation, and this is driver assistance, but overall the driver remains responsible for full control of the car. Level 2 is the final layer of vehicle automation that needs the driver to be fully monitoring all driving functions. They allow cars to brake, steer and accelerate on behalf of the driver.L0级对应如今道路上的绝大多数车辆，这类车辆完全不具备自动化功能。L1级是真正意义上自动化的最低级别，属于驾驶辅助功能，但总体而言，驾驶员仍需全权负责车辆操控。L2级是需要驾驶员全程监控所有驾驶功能的最后一个车辆自动化层级，车辆可代驾驶员完成刹车、转向与加速操作。
2. At Level 3, the vehicle's automated system will begin monitoring the driving environment. The vehicle can take responsibility for most driving tasks and can even make decisions for itself, such as overtaking slow-moving vehicles. While the driver doesn't necessarily have to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times, they will need to be fully concentrated and able to take control at a moment's notice.到了 L3级，车辆的自动化系统将开始监控行车环境。车辆能够承担大部分驾驶任务，甚至可以自主做出决策，比如超越低速行驶的车辆。尽管驾驶员无需时刻将手放在方向盘上，但必须保持高度专注，并能一经通知就立刻接管车辆。
3. At Level 4, high driving automation can intervene if something goes wrong or there is a system failure. Therefore, in the majority of scenarios, the human driver is not required. Level 5 is the highest possible level of automation, and while it doesn't yet exist, it’ll be able to handle all driving functions. It's estimated that these vehicles won't even include steering wheels or pedals, and will be able to operate without people inside them.L4级车辆的高度自动化系统可在突发状况或系统故障时介入干预。因此，在绝大多数场景下，无需人类驾驶员介入。L5级是自动化的最高级别，目前尚未实现，但该级别车辆将能够处理所有驾驶功能。据估计，这类车辆甚至不会配备方向盘和踏板，可在无人员乘坐的情况下运行。
