FreemanShen_2021-_一个汽车更少的未来_
I love cars. I really do. 我喜欢车,真的很喜欢。
But what we are currently doing is a bit insane . 但我们目前在做的事情有点疯狂。
Cars put smog in the air, create traffic and congestion and cause accidents. 汽车会向空气中排放烟雾, 导致交通拥堵, 以及引发交通事故。
This might seem like a crazy thing for me to say, but I am hoping for a future with fewer cars, mostly smart EVs and cars that can do more for us. 听起来会有点疯狂, 但我希望未来汽车会变少, 留下的也主要是智能电动汽车 和其他多功能的汽车。

Some of the biggest changes that ever took place in the auto industry are happening right now, affecting not only the cars, but the very fabric of the cities in which we live. 汽车行业正在发生有史以来最大的变革, 不仅会影响汽车, 还会影响我们居住城市的结构。
Governments across the world are committing to change the way we move, and EVs are at the center of this change. 世界各国政府都致力于 改变我们的出行方式, 而电动汽车是改变的核心。

The reality is that cars are parked nearly all of the time, taking space in our cities, costing us money. 现实是,汽车几乎每时每刻都在停着, 占用城市空间, 花费我们的金钱。
But right now, technology that allows your car to drop you off and then go park itself exists. 但是现在, 一项技术出现了,它可以让车 放下你之后自己去停好。
My company, with our partners, has created an autonomous valet parking system which will be powerful enough to allow you to step out of your car and leave it to park itself hundreds of meters away. 我们公司同合作伙伴一起 打造了一个自动代客停车系统, 该系统很强大,可以在你下车后, 自动把车停到几百米外。
This technology is real. It's already in our production car. 这项技术是真实存在的 已经安装在我们的量产车中了。
In the near future, your car will be able to book a space beforehand , and it doesn't take up room and cause traffic jams looking for one, simply by talking to the parking lot . 在不久的将来, 你的车将可以提前预订车位, 不会再发生为寻找车位 而占用交通空间,造成拥堵的情况, 只需要与停车场交流即可。

When full autonomy becomes the norm in just five to 10 years, the car won't even need to park. 当完全自动驾驶 在短短 5 到 10 年内成为常态时, 汽车甚至都不需要停了。
It will be driving other people around on a car-sharing platform , plugging itself into the grid to charge when needed. 汽车会通过共享平台去拉别的乘客, 并在需要时自行接入电网充电。

In my vision of future mobility , autonomy will reduce congestion and necessary infrastructure , creating more room for better-looking, greener spaces. 在我对未来出行的愿景中, 自动驾驶会改善拥堵, 减少必要的基础设施, 留出更多空间给公园和绿地。
