谷歌制造自动驾驶汽车的项目,是一个称作Google X的部门开展的。领导这个部门的科学家有一个再合适不过的名字,叫做阿斯特罗·泰勒(Astro Teller,意为“星际揭秘者——译注)。Google X的目标是尝试“瞄准月亮开炮——这样志存高远的项目需要激进的解决方案,如果成功的话可以解决重大问题(当然也可以为谷歌带来丰厚的回报)。泰勒在最近的一次演讲中说道,自动驾驶汽车可以解决的重大问题是,“每年在行车事故中有120万人丧生。
During the six years Google has been working on self-driving technology, its cars have beentaught to understand how to traverse the roads. With their combination of robotics, sensorsand computing power, they know how to stop at a stop sign, look for oncoming pedestrians,change lanes, get on the freeway and anticipate all the various problems that drivers face.
在谷歌研究自动驾驶技术的六年时间里,研究人员已经让谷歌汽车学会了在马路上如何通行。通过综合运用机器人技术、传感器和计算能力,这些汽车懂得怎样在停车标牌前停车、注意走来的行人、变道、驶入高速路,并为司机遇到的各种问题预先做好准备。
Using retrofitted Lexuses, Google has driven a million miles autonomously. More recently, ithas built several dozen small cars without steering wheels and brakes and is ready to test themin the streets of Mountain View, Calif. (though the State of California is insisting that Googleadd a steering wheel and brakes to the cars it sends out for this experiment).
