You're too late, Jeremy! Japan unveils a single-passenger robot car... and this one can drive itself

日本发布单人机器人轿车，而且还能自动驾驶

英国 P45

日本日立汽车

When Jeremy Clarskon showed off his personally-designed robotic car on a recent episode of Top Gear it was described as the world's smallest.

当Jeremy Clarskon最近在英国疯狂汽车秀上卖弄自己设计的机器人轿车时，被当成是世界上最小的轿车。

But inventors in Japan have gone one better - developing a tiny car that can automatically take passengers from A to B without them having to do a thing.

但是日本的发明者更胜一筹——他们发明了一种小型的轿车，这种轿车可以把乘客从A地运到B地而不用乘客做任何的事情。

Japanese tech conglomerate Hitachi today revealed its new Robot for Personal Intelligent Transport System (Ropits, for short) in the city of Tsukuba in the Ibaraki Prefecture.

日本的技术巨头日立公司今天在茨城县筑波市发布了其个人智能交通系统机器人汽车（或者称之为Ropits）。

The one man mobility robot can pick-up and drop off a passenger autonomously, while, in emergencies, passengers can seize control of the vehicle using a joystick controller in the cockpit.

这种只搭载一人的智能机器人汽车而已自动装卸乘客，而在紧急情况下，乘客们可以通过驾驶舱里的操纵杆控制器来控制汽车。

Originally developed to help those who have difficulty walking - an increasing number of people in Japan's ageing society - Ropits is designed to be small enough to move through pedestrian spaces.

这种车原来是设计来为那些行走困难的人服务的——在日本这个老龄化的社会，越来越多的人行走困难——这种轿车被设计的足够小，这样就可以通过狭小的人行空间了。

Clarkson unveiled the P45, designed by the presenter himself, in February on the first episode of Top Gear's most recent series.

Clarkson在二月的时候在英国疯狂汽车秀上展示了这款他本人设计的P45轿车。

这老头看起来不是很舒服
Clarkson tested the four-wheel vehicle on the streets of Guildford, hitting 34mph at one stage as he weaved around traffic in the tiny vehicle.

他在吉尔福德的道路上测试了这款四轮轿车，在拥挤的道路中他的速度还一度达到了34英里每小时。

Looking uncomfortable within the car's miniscule frame, Clarkson said: 'I’m just staggered that Ford, GM, Toyota, all of the automotive giants haven’t thought to make a car like this yet.'

在这么小的汽车里，他看起来并不是很舒服，Clarkson说：“让我感到吃惊的是，福特，通用，以及丰田公司尽然没有想到去生产这样小的汽车。“
The Japanese robot is equipped with GPS to allow it to find its way, as well as laser distance sensors to look out for obstacles and a gyro sensor to help it stay upright while negotiating uneven ground.
日本的这种新型机器人轿车配备了全球定位系统来帮助识别道路，还配备了激光传感器来识别障碍物，同时还配备了一个回转仪感应器来帮助汽车在不平的道路上行驶。

注意看，没有操纵杆哦

Passengers need only specify their desired destination on a touch-screen map and the machine will automatically drive them there.
乘客们只要在触摸屏地图上点击自己想要去的地方，就会把你自动的送到目的地。

Similarly, anyone who needs a ride will be able to call a Ropits vehicle from any number of computer-networked 'stops' dotted around the city.
同样的，如果谁想要乘坐这种轿车的话都可以通过呼叫遍布整个城市的电脑联网的“站点”，然后站点就会派这种机器人轿车去接你了。

The vehicle is also equipped with 'active suspension' which controls each wheel individually to enable it to tackle curbs and uneven ground while keeping passengers comfortably upright.
这种轿车还配备了“主动悬挂系统”，可以通过单独的控制每个轮胎来解决道路的崎岖不平问题从而保证乘客在行驶的过程中不会感觉到颠簸。
