豐田計(jì)劃在富士山腳下建設(shè)“未來之城”

Toyota Motor Corp said on Monday it planned to build a prototype “city of the future” at the base of Japan’s Mt. Fuji, powered by hydrogen fuel cells and functioning as a laboratory for autonomous cars, “smart homes,” artificial intelligence and other technologies.

豐田汽車公司于本周一表示，他們計(jì)劃在日本富士山腳下建造一座“未來之城”的原型，該原型由氫燃料電池驅(qū)動(dòng)，可作為自動(dòng)駕駛汽車、“智能家居”、人工智能和其他技術(shù)的實(shí)驗(yàn)室。

Toyota unveiled the audacious plan for what it will call “Woven City,” in a reference to its origins as a loom manufacturer, at the big annual technology industry show, CES.

在一年一度的大型科技產(chǎn)業(yè)展(CES)上，豐田(Toyota)公布了這一大膽的計(jì)劃，稱其為“編織城市”(weave City)。

“It’s hard to learn something about a smart city if you are only building a smart block,” James Kuffner, chief executive officer for the Toyota Research Institute-Advanced Development, told Reuters.

豐田高級發(fā)展研究院(Toyota Research Institute-Advanced Development)首席執(zhí)行官詹姆斯?庫夫納(James Kuffner)對路透社(Reuters)表示:“如果你只是建造一個(gè)智能街區(qū)，那么你很難了解一個(gè)智慧城市。”

The “Woven City” idea, under discussion for a year, is aimed at creating safer, cleaner, more fun cities and learning lessons that could be applied around the world, he added.

他補(bǔ)充說，“編織城市”的想法已經(jīng)討論了一年，目的是創(chuàng)造更安全、更清潔、更有趣的城市，并學(xué)習(xí)可以在世界各地應(yīng)用的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

It will have police, fire and ambulance services, schools and could be home to a mix of Toyota employees, retirees and others, Kuffner said.

庫夫納說，這里將有警察、消防和救護(hù)服務(wù)、學(xué)校，還可能有豐田員工、退休人員和其他人員居住。

The development, to be built on the site of a car factory that is planned to be closed by the end of 2020, will begin with 2,000 residents in coming years and also serve as a home to researchers.

這一開發(fā)項(xiàng)目將建在一家汽車廠的舊址上，該廠計(jì)劃在2020年底前關(guān)閉。未來幾年，這里將有2000名居民，同時(shí)也將成為研究人員的家。
