  • Hello and welcome to Six Minute English.

  • I'm Neil, and joining me today is Rob.

  • Hello.

  • So, Rob, what's the most dangerous thing you've ever chosen to do?

  • Hmm, tricky question.

  • I've done many risky things, but probably the most risky thing is bungee jumping in New Zealand.

  • Oh, wow, bungee jumping.

  • You never catch me doing that.

  • Did you enjoy it?

  • Not really, no, I won't do it again.

  • Okay, well, today our topic is risk and how different people react to different levels of risk in different ways.

  • For example, would you be happy to be in a driverless car?

  • Absolutely not.

  • No, I don't trust anybody's driving even a computer,

  • so no, I wouldn't go in a driverless car.

  • Okay, I won't offer you a lift.

  • Driverless cars at the topic of today's quiz.

  • The question is, when was the first driverless car demonstrated on a public road?
