While self-driving cars are still gradually gaining traction in our daily lives, a lighter and more flexible form of transportation — autonomous bicycles — has already stepped out of the laboratory and onto the streets.

Genie Mobility, a fast-growing new company based in Silicon Valley, proudly introduced the world’s first fully autonomous delivery electric bicycle — the “Genie Bike”. Combining cutting-edge autonomous driving technology with the practicality of electric bicycle design, this innovative product aims to directly tackle the “last-mile” delivery challenge.

The Genie Bike is equipped with a custom-made high-power motor, with a peak power output of 750W and a top speed of 45km/h. It can carry up to 80 kg, making it suitable for delivering food, packages, and fresh goods. Equipped with two batteries with a total capacity of 1344Wh, it can travel 80–100 km on a single charge. It also supports fast charging in just two hours and is compatible with standard charging stations.

The bike’s self-driving system uses multiple sensors, including two high-resolution cameras, smart AI vision software that can recognize over 200 objects, a front laser sensor that detects objects up to 50 meters away with high accuracy, and ultrasonic (超声波的) radar for 3D mapping and blind-spot support. Running on NVIDIA’s latest AI computing platform, it provides strong processing power for real-time decision-making. With detailed maps and real-time GPS, the bike can plan the best routes, avoid traffic jams, and follow road rules.

Additionally, the Genie Bike supports advanced fleet monitoring, efficient task assignments, and in-depth data analysis. In challenging road conditions, it allows for seamless remote takeover or automatic return to designated safe zones. When the battery drops below 20%, it intelligently plans a return route for recharging.

1.1. What is the primary function of the Genie Bike?

A To carry passengers for short-distance trips.

B To improve last-mile delivery efficiency.

C To compete in electric bicycle races.

D To serve as a personal commuting tool.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。文章第二段明确提到 “this innovative product aims to directly tackle the ‘last-mile’ delivery challenge”（这款创新产品旨在直接解决 “最后一公里” 配送难题），由此可知 Genie Bike 的核心功能是提升最后一公里配送效率，与选项 B 表述一致。A 选项 “短途载客” 错误，文章第三段明确说明其用途是 “delivering food, packages, and fresh goods”（配送食物、包裹和生鲜商品），并非载客；C 选项 “参与电动自行车比赛” 错误，文章未提及任何与比赛相关的内容，其设计核心是实用性和配送功能；D 选项 “作为个人通勤工具” 错误，Genie Bike 是为配送场景设计的自主配送自行车，并非针对个人日常通勤。故选 B。

2.2. Which statement about the Genie Bike’s battery is TRUE?

A It takes 30 minutes to fully charge it.

B Its capacity fails to meet delivery needs.

C It enables long-distance travel per charge.

D It requires specially designed charging stations.

解析：选C。 C 细节理解题。文章第三段指出 “it can travel 80–100 km on a single charge”（一次充电可行驶 80 至 100 公里），这表明其电池能支持长距离行驶，符合选项 C 的描述。A 选项 “30 分钟充满电” 错误，文章明确说明 “supports fast charging in just two hours”（支持两小时快速充电），并非 30 分钟；B 选项 “容量无法满足配送需求” 错误，80-100 公里的续航里程完全能覆盖常规配送场景，且文章未提及容量不足的问题；D 选项 “需要专门设计的充电站” 错误，文章提到 “compatible with standard charging stations”（兼容标准充电站），无需特殊充电站。故选C。

3.3. How does the Genie Bike ensure safe and efficient navigation?

A By sticking to a pre-designed fixed route.

B By using one high-resolution camera alone.

C By depending entirely on remote human control.

D By integrating multiple sensors and real-time data.

解析：选D。D 细节理解题。文章第四段详细说明 Genie Bike 的导航系统 “uses multiple sensors... Running on NVIDIA’s latest AI computing platform... with detailed maps and real-time GPS”（使用多个传感器、NVIDIA 最新 AI 计算平台、详细地图和实时 GPS），这些元素共同保障了安全高效导航，与选项 D “整合多个传感器和实时数据” 的表述一致。A 选项 “坚守预设的固定路线” 错误，文章提到 “can plan the best routes, avoid traffic jams”（能规划最佳路线、避开交通拥堵），并非固定路线；B 选项 “仅使用一个高清摄像头” 错误，文章明确指出 “two high-resolution cameras”（两个高清摄像头），且还有激光传感器、超声波雷达等其他设备； C 选项 “完全依赖人工远程控制” 错误，文章说明其具备自主导航功能，仅在复杂路况下支持 “seamless remote takeover”（无缝远程接管），并非完全依赖人工控制。故选D。

4.4. What future plan is set for the Genie Bike?

A To form a fleet for commercial pilot runs.

B To stop testing and start mass production.

C To redesign the product from the beginning.

D To sell its core technology to other firms.

解析：选A。A 细节理解题。文章最后一句提到 “anticipates assembling a fleet and launching commercial pilots in early 2026”（预计在 2026 年初组建车队并启动商业试点），与选项 A “组建车队进行商业试点运行” 完全吻合。B 选项 “停止测试并开始量产” 错误，文章明确说明 “now being tested on real streets”（目前正在真实街道测试），下一步是商业试点，而非直接量产；C 选项 “重新设计产品” 错误，文章提到 “has undergone three rounds of improvements”（已历经三轮改进），无需从零开始重新设计；D 选项 “向其他公司出售核心技术” 错误，文章未提及任何技术转让或出售的计划，核心规划是组建车队和商业试点。故选A。
