能自动识别半径60米内的所有面孔
scan for faces within a 60-metre radius.
为测试其性能 我出去跑了下步
I tested it out by going for a run,
而它确实识别出了我的脸
and it did pick out my face.
它会与警方数据库进行比对
It would be matched against a police database
来判断我是否是罪犯或嫌疑人
to see if I was a criminalor suspect,
如果匹配成功 它会向警车发出警报
and then send an alert to the car if I was a positive match.

风行一时的技术 自动驾驶汽车
with the current talk of the town, autonomous cars.
如今人人都有私家车

一辆车能坐好几个人
The car can be shared among many people.
车只有5%的时间是开动的
Only 5% of the time the car is driven,
而95%时间都是停着的
95% of the time it is parked.
所以如果有了自动驾驶汽车 它们可以自己开走
So if you have autonomous cars, they can drive off and go away.
是的 它们能自己开走
Yes, they can go away.
很省心
It is easy.
是的 仔细想想

and on the front, millimetre-wave
挡风玻璃有很多摄像头 用于避开障碍物
radar, and a ton of cameras in the windscreen, to watch out
和绘制路程地图

已经被运用到了市售车上
already exists and is already in cars that you can buy today.
比如这一辆 能自动与前方车辆保持安全距离
This one, for example, can keep a safe distance from the car
并且能保持在车道内行驶
in front and it can keep in lane,
只要它能探测到路边的车道标识
as long as it can see good lane markings either side of it.
但在这里 这些技术派上用场的机会不多
Not that we have much opportunity to use those features here.
不能说这是"混乱" 大家确实都知道

实际上 我们可以打一个有意思的比方
Actually, we have an interesting metaphor.
谷歌♥的汽车基于所有这些传感器 有了一个相当不错的视力
So, Google has pretty good eyesight based on all the censors.
假设有2.0的视力
