    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.
    Just imagine. It could, for a start, save the motor industry from stagnation. Carmakers are anxious about【C5】______ that smartphone-obsessed teenagers these days do not rush to get a driving licence and buy their first car, as their parents did. But once they are spared the trouble and expense of taking lessons and【C6】______ a test, young adults might rediscover the joys of the open road. Another【C7】______ for the motor industry is that car use seems to be peaking in the most congested cities. Yet automated cars would drive nose-to-tail, increasing the capacity of existing roads; and since they would be able to【C8】______ their passengers and drive away, the lack of parking spaces in town might not matter so much.
    All these trends will affect the car business. But when mass-produced cars【C9】______, they had an impact on the whole of society. Electronics and software firms will be among the winners: besides providing all the sensors and computing power that self-driving cars will need, they will enjoy strong demand for in-car entertainment systems,【C10】______ cars’ occupants will no longer need to keep their eyes on the road. [br] 【C8】
