百度試水無人駕駛車 五環路測成功

Chinese search engine giant Baidu announced on Friday that its driverless car has finished road tests and succeeded in automatic driving in mixed road conditions.

本週五，中國的搜索引擎巨頭百度宣佈，百度無人駕駛汽車已完成路測，成功實現混合路況下的全自動駕駛。

The test vehicle left the Baidu building in Beijing Zhongguancun Science Park and drove to the Olympic Forest Park via the G7 Beijing-Urumqi highway and the Fifth Ring Road before returning via the same route.

百度無人駕駛車從中關村軟件園百度大廈附近出發，駛入G7京新高速公路，經五環路，抵達奧林匹克森林公園，隨後按原路線返回。

The vehicle reached a top speed of 100km/hr during the test, according to the u said the test was completed with a driver in the car who would take control of the vehicle in case of emergency.

據百度公司稱，無人駕駛車在測試中最高時速達100公里。百度還說測試時車上有一名駕駛員，以防有緊急情況發生時能操控車輛。

Launched in 2013, the company's driverless car project is based on the core "Baidu car brain" technology, which includes high-precision electronic mapping, positioning and decision-making systems.

百度無人駕駛車項目於2013年起步，其技術核心是“百度汽車大腦”，包括高精度地圖、定位、感知、智能決策與控制四大模塊。

"Automatic driving faces challenges in a variety of driving conditions such as bad weather and congestion," said Wang Jin, senior vice president of Baidu.

“自動駕駛汽車面臨駕駛路況多樣化的巨大挑戰，比如惡劣天氣和交通擁堵。” 百度高級副總裁王勁說。

"It is a great challenge to test in Beijing, a city with so many complicated road conditions, but luckily we made it," said Wang.

他還說，“在北京這種複雜的路況上完成全自動駕駛，挑戰尤其巨大，但幸運的是我們成功了。”

Baidu announced its plan to develop a driverless car in June. It has previously worked on "semi-autonomous" cars with German automaker BMW.

百度公司於今年6月公佈了它的無人駕駛汽車研發計劃。百度之前已與德國寶馬汽車公司合作，開發“輔助自動”駕駛汽車。

The driverless car is scheduled to make its debut at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen Township in east China's Zhejiang Province from Dec.16 to 18.

這款無人駕駛汽車計劃在12月16日-18日在中國東部浙江烏鎮的世界互聯網大會上首次亮相。

IT companies such as Google and Apple are working with auto manufacturers including Toyota and Tesla to develop their own driverless cars. In May 2014, Google presented a concept for a driverless car without a steering wheel or pedals and unveiled a fully functioning prototype in December of that year.

像谷歌和蘋果這樣的互聯網公司也正在與汽車製造商比如豐田、特斯拉合作，以研發他們自己的無人駕駛汽車。2014年5月，谷歌公司提出了一個無方向盤、無操作踏板的無人駕駛汽車概念，並於同年12月展示了一個完全自動駕駛汽車的原型。
