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.

对于全球科技迷来说,一年一度的拉斯维加斯CES消费电子展堪称一场饕餮盛宴。在为期三天的展会上,他们可以看到各类最新最酷的新设备和原型产品。虽然大多数技术的体型都比较小,比如手机、平板和可穿戴电脑等,但在这场年度盛会上,还有一个块头更大,或许也更具移动性的行业,那就是汽车。

CES五大最酷的汽车科技

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.

随着汽车行业追逐最新、最酷、最实用技术的军备竞赛不断升级,CES消费电子展也成了各大汽车公司展示新功能,宣传新车型的好去处。CES消费电子展已经在本周拉开大幕,以下是截至目前,各大汽车公司发布的一些最撩人心魄的技术。
Nvidia unveils new chip perfect for cars
英伟达发布新型汽车芯片
Imagine if you're car's dashboard had graphics as good as a video game system. That's what the new chip unveiled by Nvidia is supposed to do, according to CNET. On Sunday, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang showed off the new Tegra X1 processor, which can be used in both tablets and cars. The chip can help with assisted driving, both to avoid crashes and, potentially, for fully automated driving.
想象一下,如果爱车中控台的画质能像视频游戏系统一样精致,那该是一件多爽的事情,而这也是英伟达发布的新芯片所要做的事。上周日,英伟达CEO黄仁勋展示了新型的Tegra X1处理器,它也可以用在平板电脑和汽车上。该芯片具有辅助驾驶功能,除了可以避免交通事故,未来还有可能用于全自动驾驶。

In-car shopping from GM

通用汽车发布车内购物功能
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.
开车时又累又饿怎么办?这个功能绝对是很多驾驶员的福音。通用汽车的安吉星(OnStar)系统增加了一个叫做“为您服务”(AtYourService)的新项目,接通之后,一名人工助手会帮你购物甚至预订酒店。该系统还会提供一些零售商的优惠券和其它信息,另外它还能帮你找到停车位。通用汽车已经和甜甜圈零售商唐恩都乐公司达成了合作协议。
Chevrolet previews the new Volt
新款雪佛兰沃蓝达轿车闪亮登场
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.
虽然油价持续走低,但在CES消费电子展上,电动汽车展区依然人头攒动。通用汽车当然不愿错过这个机会。上周日晚,经过重新设计的新款雪佛兰沃兰达轿车(Chevy Volt)借助这个舞台闪亮登场。关于这款插电式混合动力汽车的信息还不是很多,但由于这款车型本来计划在下周的底特律汽车展上才正式亮相,能够提前一睹它的真容,让不少记者兴奋不已。科技媒体The Verge指出,这是沃兰达自2007年推出以来的首次大改。在目前少数可知的细节中,我们知道该车型的纯电池续航里程有所增加,而纯电动续航弱也是第一代沃兰达最令人诟病之处。
Samsung teams up with AT&T on connected cars
三星与AT&T合作开发联网汽车
In the connected-car game, AT&T is a big player. At CES, it announced that another big player would be joining its team: Samsung. CNET reports that Samsung will be a sponsor of Drive Studio, a connected car lab in Atlanta. Not many details were available, but it is noted that both software and hardware from Samsung are part of the deal. AT&T also announced that five other companies would be adding apps to its platform including Audiobooks.com, which has a library of thousands of audio books .
在联网汽车领域,AT&T是个大玩家。在今年的消费电子展上,AT&T宣布另一个大玩家也将加入这场游戏——它就是三星公司。据CNET报道,三星将成为亚特兰大Drive工作室的赞助者。目前我们所知的信息不多,不过值得注意的是,三星的软件和硬件都是这笔交易的组成部分。AT&T还宣布,另外五家公司将为其平台添加应用,其中包括拥有成千上万部有声电子书的电子书库Audiobooks.com。
Chrysler adds new services
克莱斯勒添加新服务
Not wanting to be left out, Chrysler also announced new features for its connected car technology today, including a vehicle finder — which sends an exact location of your car to a smartphone app — and a vehicle health report, a monthly e-mail detailing vehicle performance. Chrysler also announced a new smartphone app for Uconnect, its connected car service, allowing easier browsing.
不甘落后的克莱斯勒,也为它的联网汽车技术发布了几项新功能,其中包括一种“寻找汽车”技术——通过一款智能手机应用,它可以将汽车的具体位置发送到你的手机中。另一个新功能是“车辆健康报告”,它每月会通过电子邮件为你详细诊断车辆的性能。另外,克莱斯勒还为它的Uconnect联网汽车服务推出一款新的智能手机应用,使它更方便浏览。
