????本周四的新聞發布會上，特斯拉首席執行官埃隆?穆斯克發布了更新版的6.2版本軟件。更新后，該軟件將具有多種新的特色功能，包括一款保障里程的應用，它可以實時與特斯拉的超級充電站網絡及目的地充電樁聯系。穆斯克在發布會上說，當特斯拉車可能駛出可靠充電地點的覆蓋范圍時，該軟件將提醒駕駛者注意。一旦發出警示，軟件就會根據車所在的海拔高度、風速等因素，極其精確地判斷里程范圍，提供路線圖，指引司機將車開到距離最近的充電站。

????“所有復雜操作都會自動完成。您不需要提前考慮，也不需要做任何計算，”穆斯克說，“除非有意為之，否則駕駛者不可能超出充電的里程范圍。（軟件）甚至會對此復查。在可能超出充電的里程范圍以前，駕駛者將不得不兩次回復（軟件）：‘是的，我確定。’”

????特斯拉還增加了一款規劃路線的應用。如果需要充電，該應用會自動選擇一條路線，前往適合所在車輛的超級充電站。這款應用會挑選最快到達目的地的路線，并確保每行駛三到四小時就會有一座超級充電站。一完成充電，車就會通過特斯拉的電話應用通知駕駛者。

????穆斯克說，這條路線應當符合駕駛者正常的需求，比如考慮到他們可能中途停下車休息、去洗手間、吃點東西或喝杯咖啡。

????“可能在極少數時候，有人想不停歇地連續開十小時車，或者開車時穿了尿布什么的，但那是不常見的，”穆斯克說。“駕駛時長與充電時間要成比例，這幾乎適用于所有的行程。”

????穆斯克還說，大約十天內，所有特斯拉Model S型車的車主就能使用這款更新版的軟件。

????The 6.2 version software update, which was announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday during a press conference, includes several new features, including range assurance, an app that communicates in real time with Tesla’s supercharger networks and destination chargers. The app advises drivers when they’re at risk of driving beyond the range of reliable charging locations. Once alerted, a map guides the driver to the closest charger, factoring in elevation and wind speed to determine range with extreme accuracy, Musk said during the call.

????“All the complexity is taken care of automatically. You don’t need to think ahead or do any calculations,” Musk said. “It’s impossible to run out unless you do so intentionally. The car will even double check and you’ll have to say, ‘yes, I’m sure’ twice before it’s possible to actually run out of range.”

????Tesla TSLA -2.52% has also added a trip planner that automatically picks a route through the appropriate superchargers if charging is needed. The planner selects the fastest route to the destination and breaks it into three- to four-hour legs between superchargers. Once the vehicle is charged, the car messages the driver via the Tesla phone app.

????The route should match up to when a driver would normally want to stop, use the restroom, have a bite to eat or grab a coffee, Musk said.

????“There’s maybe the rare occasion where someone wants to drive non-stop for 10 hours and wears diapers or something, but that’s unusual,” Musk said. “For almost any trip, the time driven to time charging ratio works out really well.”

????The software update should be released to all Model S owners in about 10 days, Musk said.

????自2012年首次出售以高科技為核心的Model S以來，總部位于加州帕洛阿爾托的特斯拉已多次升級該車型的OTA軟件，提高了安全功能和汽車性能，讓車主能定制駕駛體驗。所有這些改進都是為了讓車越開越好。

????此次軟件升級增加的其他功能包括：自動緊急制動、幫助駕駛者安全變換車道的盲點警示和代客泊車模式。利用代客泊車模式，車主可以限制Model S的駕駛性能，還能限制他人改變汽車的控制設置和獲取個人信息。（財富中文網）

????The Palo Alto-based electric car company has completed numerous over-the-air software upgrades to the Model S since the tech-centric vehicle was first released in 2012 to fix bugs, enhance safety features, performance and customize the driving experience—all in an effort to make the car better over time.

????Other features in this software update, include automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning to help drivers change lanes safely and valet mode, which limits the Model S’s driving performance and restricts access to settings and personal information.
