Directions: In the question given below, a passage is given followed by five statements. Read the information and answer the question that follows.

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are designed to reduce human error in driving by using artificial intelligence and sensors. They have the potential to lower accident rates and improve traffic efficiency. However, challenges such as unpredictable road conditions, legal frameworks, and ethical dilemmas in decision-making still need to be addressed before widespread adoption.

Which of the following can be inferred from the given information?

I) AVs aim to minimize accidents caused by human error.

II) The technology for AVs is already perfect for global use.

III) Legal and ethical challenges must be resolved before AVs become mainstream.

IV) AVs do not require any external data to function efficiently.

V) Autonomous vehicles can enhance overall traffic management.

  1. II, III and IV
  2. Both III and V
  3. Only II 
  4. I, III and V
  5. Only III

According to the given passage:

I) AVs aim to minimize accidents caused by human error. Can be inferred

The passage explicitly states that AVs are designed to reduce human error in driving, making this a direct inference

II) The technology for AVs is already perfect for global use. → Cannot be inferred

The passage highlights challenges like unpredictable road conditions and legal issues, which means the technology is not yet perfect for global use.

III) Legal and ethical challenges must be resolved before AVs become mainstream. Can be inferred

The passage mentions that legal frameworks and ethical dilemmas still need to be addressed before widespread adoption, supporting this inference.

IV) AVs do not require any external data to function efficiently. Cannot be inferred

AVs use artificial intelligence and sensors, implying they rely on external data to operate. The passage does not state they function independently of external inputs.

V) Autonomous vehicles can enhance overall traffic management. Can be inferred

The passage mentions that AVs have the potential to improve traffic efficiency, which supports this inference.

Thus, I, III and V can be inferred from the given information.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
