    The arrival of the mass-produced car, just over a century ago, caused a(n)【C1】________ of business creation. First came the makers of cars and all the parts that go into them. Then came the garages, filling stations and all sorts of other car-dependent【C2】________: car parks, motels, out-of-town shopping centres.
    Now another revolution on wheels is on the horizon: the driverless car. Nobody is sure when it will【C3】________. Google, which is testing a fleet of autonomous cars, thinks in maybe a decade, others reckon longer. And, when it does, the self-driving car, like the ordinary kind, could bring【C4】________ change.
