共享自动驾驶汽车会在全球满街跑 Self-driving Car-Safer, Faster, Cheaper and Greener

Self-driving cars will also help speed up the shift toward increased ride sharing and reduced car ownership. Many people already use ride-sharing services instead of owning their own cars. Self-driving vehicles are a great fit for ride sharing because machines have the potential to find the best routes for getting people to their destinations more safely and faster than human drivers.

自动驾驶汽车还将有助于加快向更多共享出行和减少汽车拥有量的转变。许多人都已经不再拥有自己的汽车，而是使用共享出行服务。自动驾驶车辆非常适合共享出行，因为机器有可能找到更安全、更快捷的路线，将人们送达目的地，这比人类驾驶员要好得多。

A future where more of us use ride sharing as our primary mode of transportation means we'll need fewer cars overall, which comes with key benefits, including reduced road congestion and less time wasted in traffic. Fewer cars also means less pollution and fewer parking spaces. That would make room for more parks, bike lanes, and businesses.

如果未来我们中有更多的人将共享出行作为主要的交通方式，那么总体上我们所需的汽车数量将会减少，这带来了诸多好处，包括减少交通拥堵和节省更多在路上浪费的时间。汽车数量的减少意味着更少的污染和更少的停车位。这将为更多的公园、自行车道和商业设施腾出空间。

Real-world testing is critical to getting this technology ready for nationwide use.That's why some companies are testing self-driving cars in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Tempe, Arizona. Both cities have welcomed this technology with open arms.

实际应用测试对于使这项技术能够在全国范围内得到应用至关重要。这就是为什么一些公司正在宾夕法尼亚州的匹兹堡和亚利桑那州的坦佩测试自动驾驶汽车。这两个城市都以开放的态度欢迎这项技术。

A better future is within reach. We already have the technology. While it won't happen overnight, self-driving cars will be an important part of the future of transportation.

一个更美好的未来触手可及。我们已经拥有了这项技术。虽然它不会一夜之间实现，但自动驾驶汽车将成为未来交通的重要组成部分。
