CES五大最酷的汽車科技
????對于全球科技迷來說,一年一度的拉斯維加斯CES消費電子展堪稱一場饕餮盛宴。在為期三天的展會上,他們可以看到各類最新最酷的新設備和原型產品。雖然大多數技術的體型都比較小,比如手機、平板和可穿戴電腦等,但在這場年度盛會上,還有一個塊頭更大,或許也更具移動性的行業,那就是汽車。 ????隨著汽車行業追逐最新、最酷、最實用技術的軍備競賽不斷升級,CES消費電子展也成了各大汽車公司展示新功能,宣傳新車型的好去處。CES消費電子展已經在本周拉開大幕,以下是截至目前,各大汽車公司發布的一些最撩人心魄的技術。 |
????The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is a smorgasbord of cool, with gadgets and prototypes filling the convention halls for three days. While most of the technology tends towards the small — smart phones, tablets, and wearable computers — one industry that gets major play at the annual conference is decidedly larger and perhaps even more mobile: cars. ????With the auto industry in an arms race to have the newest, coolest, most useful technology, CES is the perfect place for car companies to show off their new features and talk about what we’ll be seeing in the coming year in showrooms. With CES underway this week, here’s a few of the most tantalizing things we’ve seen from the auto industry so far. |
????通用汽車發布車內購物功能 ????開車時又累又餓怎么辦?這個功能絕對是很多駕駛員的福音。通用汽車的安吉星(OnStar)系統增加了一個叫做“為您服務”(AtYourService)的新項目,接通之后,一名人工助手會幫你購物甚至預訂酒店。該系統還會提供一些零售商的優惠券和其它信息,另外它還能幫你找到停車位。通用汽車已經和甜甜圈零售商唐恩都樂公司達成了合作協議。 |
????In-car shopping from GM ????This is one that sounds perfect for people who get tired and hungry when they're driving: GM's OnStar system is adding a new program called "AtYourService," in which a human assistant helps with shopping and can even book hotel reservations. The system will offer coupons and information about retailers, plus help find parking. GM even has a partnership set up with Dunkin' Donuts for deals. |
????新款雪佛蘭沃藍達轎車閃亮登場 ????雖然油價持續走低,但在CES消費電子展上,電動汽車展區依然人頭攢動。通用汽車當然不愿錯過這個機會。上周日晚,經過重新設計的新款雪佛蘭沃蘭達轎車(Chevy Volt)借助這個舞臺閃亮登場。關于這款插電式混合動力汽車的信息還不是很多,但由于這款車型本來計劃在下周的底特律汽車展上才正式亮相,能夠提前一睹它的真容,讓不少記者興奮不已。科技媒體The Verge指出,這是沃蘭達自2007年推出以來的首次大改。在目前少數可知的細節中,我們知道該車型的純電池續航里程有所增加,而純電動續航弱也是第一代沃蘭達最令人詬病之處。 |
????Chevrolet previews the new Volt ????Despite lower fuel prices, electric cars continue to capture interest at CES. On Sunday night, GM tried to capitalize on that by giving a sneak peak of a redesigned Chevy Volt. Not much information was available about the plug-in electric car, but journalists were excited to take a look before the car is officially unveiled next week at the Detroit auto show. The Verge notes that this is the first major redesign of the Volt since it debuted in 2007. Among the few details is that the car may come with an extended electric-only driving range, one of the main complaints about the first generation of the model. |
