【解析】

未來的汽車會是什么樣子？本文主要介紹了自動駕駛汽車。

【1】句意：也許我們可以坐在一輛自動駕駛的汽車里。

根據前文“Do we still have to learn to drive cars ourselves in the future? The answer is No.”可知，將來我們不必自己學開車，根據前后文語意，故選E。

【2】句意：這些年來他們取得了很大的進步。

根據后文“The most famous recent one was made by Google in 2009.”可知，最近最著名的是谷歌在2009年制造的，根據前后文語意，故選D。

【3】句意：中國科學家還成功研發(fā)了一款自動駕駛汽車。

根據后文“The car made a trip from Changsha to Wuhan.”可知，這輛車從長沙開往武漢，所以此處在說中國的自動駕駛汽車，故選A。

【4】句意：最近的一項研究表明，機器人比人類更安全。

根據后文“If only 10% of the cars on the street are self-driving, they will save 1,000 lives every year.”可知，如果街上只有10%的汽車是自動駕駛的，它們每年將拯救1000條生命，所以自動駕駛比人類開車更安全，故選B。

【5】句意：然而，一輛自動駕駛汽車非常昂貴，每輛大約10萬美元。

根據后文“So it is impossible to be very popular in the near future.”可知，所以自動駕駛汽車在不久的將來不可能很受歡迎，是因為自動駕駛汽車有自己的缺點，故選C。
