百度計劃在年小規模生產無人駕駛汽車

Baidu plans to launch "small-scale production" of fully autonomous mini-buses in July of next year, according to Robin Li, CEO of the Chinese tech giant.

據中國科技巨頭百度的首席執行官李彥宏透露，百度計劃在明年7月進行全自動小型巴士的“小規模生產”。

Baidu also plans to launch self-driving car models in cooperation with manufacturers JAC Motors and Beijing Automotive Industry Corp, Li said during the company's annual technology conference.

李彥宏在該公司的年度技術大會上表示，百度還計劃與製造商江淮汽車和北京汽車工業公司合作，推出自動駕駛汽車模型。

By connecting with the "Internet of cars," the driverless vehicles will analyse information on signals and roads to improve traffic efficiency.

通過與車載網絡的連接，自動駕駛汽車將能夠對各種標識及道路信息進行有效分析，從而提高通行效率。

Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to bring better road safety.

人工智能(AI)有望帶來更出色的道路安全。

"The monitoring system developed by Baidu can monitor whether a driver is tired or not. If the driver is tired, the system will issue a warning and perk up the driver with a cheerful song," Li gave an example during the conference.

李彥宏在會議上舉了一個例子：“百度開發的監控系統可以監控司機是否疲勞。如果司機感到累了，該系統就會發出警告，播放一首振奮的歌曲讓司機精神起來。”

Baidu's self-driving project was launched in 2013, featuring functions of precise mapping, positioning and intelligent decision.

百度的自動駕駛項目是在2013年推出的，其功能包含精確地圖、定位和智能決策。
