CNN News: 豐田暫停在美全自動駕駛測試

Next story today, the Toyota Motor Company says it`s temporarily stopping its test of self driving cars. The Boston Department of Transportation has asked autonomous car companies to pause testing there and the Uber transportation company says it`s stopped self-driving cars throughout the U.S. and Canada.

今天，豐田汽車公司宣布暫時停止對自駕車的測試。波士頓交通運輸部要求自主汽車公司暫停測試，優(yōu)步運輸公司表示，他們已經(jīng)停止在美國和加拿大的自動駕駛汽車。

This all follows an incident that happened on Sunday in Tempe, Arizona. That night, a self-driving Uber SUV hit and killed a pedestrian. The victim was walking her bicycle across a road when she was struck by an autonomous Volvo.

這一切都發(fā)生在周日發(fā)生在亞利桑那州坦佩的一起事件。那天晚上，一輛無人駕駛的優(yōu)步越野車撞倒了行人。受害者騎著自行車穿過馬路，這時她被一輛自動駕駛的沃爾沃撞倒了。

Police say the pedestrian was not using a crosswalk and that there`s also no indication that the self driving vehicle slow down beforehand. It was travelling at about 40 miles per hour.

警方表示，這名行人沒有使用人行橫道，也沒有跡象表明，自動駕駛車輛提前減速。它當時以每小時40英里的速度行駛。

Uber says it`s fully cooperating with the police investigation and that the company`s hearts go out to the victim`s family.

優(yōu)步表示，它正全力配合警方的調(diào)查，并表示公司對受害者家屬深表同情。

This isn`t the first crash of a self-driving car, but it is believed to be the first time someone was killed by a fully autonomous vehicle. The SUV did have a test-driver inside, a person there as a safeguard, but the car was in self-driving mode when the crash occurred. Police say there were no signs that the test driver was impaired in any way after the collision.

這不是自動駕駛汽車的第一次事故，但這是第一次有人被全自動駕駛汽車撞死。這款越野車確實有一個測試駕駛員在里面，在那里作為一個安全保障，但是當事故發(fā)生時，這輛車處于自動駕駛模式。警方表示，沒有任何跡象表明，在事故之后，測試司機受到了損害。
