This classic 1965 Ford Mustang, is actually driving itself, which might explain the uneven steering and occasional near-misses.

這款經典的1965年福特野馬,其實是在自動駕駛,這也許可以解釋不平衡的轉向和偶爾的近乎失誤的現象。

Behind the wheel, as a safety precaution is Dr. James Brighton of Cranfield University,

克蘭菲爾德大學的詹姆斯·布萊頓博士掌管安全防範措施。

working with engineering firm Siemens Brighton and his team retrofitted the vintage Mustang with a suite of autonomous driving technology.

他與工程公司西門子布萊頓合作,用一套自動駕駛技術對老式野馬進行了改裝。

We have a mixture of different sensors that are locating it in space.

我們用不同的感測器對它進行定位。

不能只使用GPS,因為有太多的樹、三葉草等等。

So we have to look at fusing different sensors

所以我們必須考慮結合不同的感測器。

and then coming up with an algorithm that will determine the best sense of what all those are telling you.

然後算出一種能在所有已知的信息中確定最佳信息的演算法。

在汽車的廣告中宣稱該車50年以上的壽命,使得它有了一些駕駛怪癖,這就給工程師們帶來了額外的挑戰。

A lot of work had to be put into the algorithms and the control in order to try and manipulate the car』s performance to an acceptable level.

為了使車的性能達到一個可接受的水平,必須在演算法和控制方面做大量的工作。

Siemens says the project demonstrates the potential for autonomous systems to be retrofitted for use in industrial applications.

西門子表示,該項目展示了在工業應用中對自主系統進行改造的潛力。

The reason why we』re involved in this technology overall is of course not that we are in the business of retrofitting classic cars.

我們並不是為了從事的是對經典汽車的改裝而參與這項技術。

But the fact that we want to increasingly help apply autonomy to factory environments.

b?t e? f?kt e?t wi w?nt t? ?n?kri?s??li h?lp ??pla? ???t?n?mi t? ?f?kt?ri ?n?va??r?nm?nts.

事實上,我們是希望能夠越來越多地將自動化應用於工廠環境。

It could be to other large industrial environments, quarries for example where you could have autonomous vehicles.

可以使其他大型工業環境,例如採石場,可以採用自動車輛。

And there the opportunity to be able to retrofit autonomy and make existing vehicles in factories or turn them robotic in those environments.

在哪裡,我們有機會將工廠現有的車輛進行自動化改良,或者在這些環境中將它們變成機器人。

We can test and prove the technology like this.

我們可以像這樣測試和證明這種技術。

But Brighton says driving a Mustang it』s different.

但是布萊頓表示這與駕駛福特野馬是不一樣的。

I think most of the fun of an old classic car is getting behind the wheel and driving it.

a? θ??k m??st ?v e? f?n ?v ?n ??ld ?kl?s?k kɑ? z ?g?t?? b??ha?nd e? wi?l ?nd ?dra?v?? ?t.

我認為一輛舊的經典汽車的大部分樂趣在於駕駛並掌控他。

And that』s why he says the car has the option to be driven in both manual and autonomous mode.

?nd e?ts wa? hi s?z e? kɑ? h?z ei ??p??n t? bi ?dr?vn ?n b??θ ?m?nj??l ?nd ???t?n?m?s m??d.

這是為什麼他說這兩車可以選擇手動駕駛和自動駕駛。

Essentially arms a system and then we can switch from autonomous or automated to manual modes.

??s?n??li ɑ?mz ? ?s?st?m ?nd e?n wi k?n sw?? fr?m ???t?n?m?s ??r ???t?me?t?d t? ?m?nj??l m??dz.

從本質上說,我們可以啟動一個系統,然後我們可以從自動模式切換到手動模式。

At the 25th Goodwood Festival of Speed in southern England the self-driving Mustang was challenged to complete the famous Hill Climb course.

在英格蘭南部第25屆古德伍德速度節上,無人駕駛的福特野馬被要求完成著名的登山路線。

Despite a few steering corrections the car is successfully completed their nearly two kilometer trek without incident and in great style.

儘管轉向方面需要一些改進,這輛車還是安全並成功完成了其近兩公里的跋涉。
