how does a driverless car communicate with pedestrians?
這個(gè)無人駕駛的車，怎樣提防行人呢？
You have nobody to make eye contact with.
沒有司機(jī)看著它啊
You don't know if it's going to run you over.
也不知道它是不是會(huì)把你碾過去
So he's developing strategies so the vehicle can
所以他在研究怎樣讓這輛車
communicate with pedestrians, so --
留心我們的行人，所以——
So the headlights are eyeballs, the pupils can dilate,

we have directional audio, we can throw sound

directly at people.

What I love about this project is he solved a problem
我之所以鐘情這個(gè)項(xiàng)目，是因?yàn)樗鉀Q了一個(gè)問題
that hasn't, that doesn't exist yet, so --
而這個(gè)問題，甚至還未存在，所以——
We also think that we can democratize access to bike lanes.
我們同時(shí)也覺得我們可以擴(kuò)大范圍到自行車道
You know, bike lanes are mostly used by young guys
自行車道大多是都是穿著彈性褲的年輕人在用
in stretchy pants, you know. So --
所以，你懂的，所以——
We think we can develop a vehicle that operates
我們覺得我們可以發(fā)明一種能在自行車道行駛
on bike lanes, accessible to elderly and disabled,
的交通工具，老年人和殘疾人
women in skirts, businesspeople, and address the issues
穿裙婦女，商業(yè)人士都可以用
of energy congestion, mobility, aging and obesity
同時(shí)針對(duì)能源消耗，流動(dòng)性，老年化和肥胖癥這些問題
simultaneously. That's our challenge.
那就是我們的挑戰(zhàn)
This is an early design for this little three-wheel,
這是我們?cè)缙谠O(shè)計(jì)的小三輪車
it's an electronic bike. You have to pedal
它是電動(dòng)自行車，你得踩踏板
to operate it in a bike lane, but if you're an older person,
它才會(huì)在自行車道上行駛，但如果你是個(gè)上了年紀(jì)的人
that's a switch. If you're a healthy person,
那兒有個(gè)開關(guān)。如果你是個(gè)身體健康的人，
you might have to work really hard to go fast.
你可能得踩得很費(fèi)勁它才會(huì)很快

So we're saying let's build a standardized chassis,
所以我們說，得建造標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的“底盤”
much like our car. Let's bring advanced technology
就像我們的車一樣，讓我們把高科技
into the apartment, technology-enabled infill,
引進(jìn)公寓，比如那些科技輔助的填充料
give people the tools within this open-loft chassis
在這個(gè)寬敞的閣樓“底架”內(nèi)，讓人們拿起工具
to go through a process of defining what their needs
自己動(dòng)手去創(chuàng)造，去詮釋他們的需求
and values and activities are, and then
價(jià)值觀和行為，然后

填充物組件，家具，還有櫥柜

is when you can begin to have robotic walls, so
就是當(dāng)你擁有了機(jī)器墻
your space can convert from exercise to a workplace,
