【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了老年人和年轻人对无人驾驶汽车的态度上并没有表现出明显的代沟以及影响人们对无人驾驶汽车的态度的几个因素。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第一段中的"generally,youngerpeopletendtooutnumberolderpeopleonthefrontendofatechnologicalchange."可知,一般来说,在技术变革的前沿,年轻人往往比老年人多,由此可知,新技术的出现通常会引起不同年龄组的不同反应,故选B。

(3)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的"driverlesscarspromiserealvaluetotheseagegroupsinparticular.Olderadults,especiallythosewithlimitedmobilityordifficultydrivingontheirownareoneoftheclassicuse-casesfordriverlesscars."可知,无人驾驶汽车尤其能为老年人带来真正的价值,老年人,特别是那些行动不便或独自驾驶困难的人,是无人驾驶汽车的典型使用案例之一,由此可知,无人驾驶汽车对一些老年人有吸引力是因为它有助于他们的行动,故选D。
(4)考查细节理解。
根据倒数第二段中的"Whereapersonlivesmatters,too.Morepeoplewholivedincitiesandsuburbssaidtheywantedtotrydriverlesscarsthanthosewholivedinruralareas."可知,一个人居住的地方也会影响他对无人驾驶汽车的态度,住在城市和郊区的人比住在农村的人更愿意尝试无人驾驶汽车,故选A。
