CES五大最酷的汽車科技

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.

對於全球科技迷來說，一年一度的拉斯維加斯CES消費電子展堪稱一場饕餮盛宴。在爲期三天的展會上，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。

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.

隨着汽車行業追逐最新、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週拉開大幕，以下是截至目前，各大汽車公司發佈的一些最撩人心魄的技術。

Nvidia unveils new chip perfect for cars

英偉達發佈新型汽車芯片

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，如果愛車中控臺的畫質能像視頻遊戲系統一樣精緻，那該是一件多爽的事情，而這也是英偉達發佈的新芯片所要做的事。上週日，英偉達CEO黃仁勳展示了新型的Tegra X1處理器，它也可以用在平板電腦和汽車上。該芯片具有輔助駕駛功能，除了可以避免交通事故，未來還有可能用於全自動駕駛。

In-car shopping from GM

通用汽車發佈車內購物功能

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.

開車時又累又餓怎麼辦？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“爲您服務”（AtYourService）的新項目，接通之後，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。

Chevrolet previews the new Volt

新款雪佛蘭沃藍達轎車閃亮登場

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.

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。通用汽車當然不願錯過這個機會。上週日晚，經過重新設計的新款雪佛蘭沃蘭達轎車（Chevy Volt）藉助這個舞臺閃亮登場。關於這款插電式混合動力汽車的信息還不是很多，但由於這款車型本來計劃在下週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。

Samsung teams up with AT&T on connected cars

三星與AT&T合作開發聯網汽車

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 , which has a library of thousands of audio books .

在聯網汽車領域，AT&T是個大玩家。在今年的消費電子展上，AT&T宣佈另一個大玩家也將加入這場遊戲——它就是三星公司。據CNET報道，三星將成爲亞特蘭大Drive工作室的贊助者。目前我們所知的信息不多，不過值得注意的是，三星的軟件和硬件都是這筆交易的組成部分。AT&T還宣佈，另外五家公司將爲其平臺添加應用，其中包括擁有成千上萬部有聲電子書的電子書庫。

Chrysler adds new services

克萊斯勒添加新服務

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.

不甘落後的克萊斯勒，也爲它的聯網汽車技術發佈了幾項新功能，其中包括一種“尋找汽車”技術——通過一款智能手機應用，它可以將汽車的具體位置發送到你的手機中。另一個新功能是“車輛健康報告”，它每月會通過電子郵件爲你詳細診斷車輛的性能。另外，克萊斯勒還爲它的Uconnect聯網汽車服務推出一款新的智能手機應用，使它更方便瀏覽。
