What's more, cars need fuel to move, so they let out a lot of dirty smoke and pollute the air. However, the government is trying many ways to solve the problem. We can see more roads and footbridges over the main streets. And the workers are making some roads wider. It is said every car will have a computer. The computer can study the latest traffic news. Then it will look over its own map for the best way to drive and they won't get into traffic jams. What's a big problem in Shenzhen today? A) It's air pollution. B) It's sound pollution. C) It's dirty smoke. D) It's pollution and traffic jams.
