Instead of going to the store to buy groceries, Maureen Blaskovich prefers to shop online.Once she’s ordered what she wants, all she has to do is wait for the groceries to be delivered.The driverless vehicle locates the customers’ home using GPS sensors radar and cameras.Upon arriving, customers are notified and given a code that unlocks the trunk so they can unload their order.See, we have some chicken, carrots, some beans, all temperature control.
与其去商店买食品杂货,莫琳·布拉斯科维奇更喜欢网购。一旦她点好了她想要的东西,她所要做的就是等待收货。无人驾驶汽车利用GPS、传感器、雷达和摄像头定位客户的家。到达时,客户会收到一个能够打开后备箱的代码,这样他们就可以拿到所订购的货物。这次有鸡肉,胡萝卜和一些豆子,都是受到温度控制的。

This service is operated by Autox, one of several companies seeking to bring autonomous grocery delivery into the mainstream.Right now it’s only available to residents near the company’s headquarters in San Jose, California.We’re offering two kinds of shopping experience:either you shop online and have it delivered autonomously which means lower cost for you,or when a car pulls over you can select and shop from the Mobile store in the back seat window.At this early testing stage, engineers still ride in the vehicle so they can grab the wheel
这项服务是由Autox公司提供的,不少公司正寻求将自动送货服务纳入主流,Autox是其中一家。目前,该公司的服务只对加州圣何塞公司总部附近的居民开放。我们提供两种购物体验。消费者可以在网上购物,然后选择自动送货上门,这也意味着更低的成本。或者也可以当一辆车停下来时,消费者可以在后座窗口的移动商店里购物。在这早期的测试阶段,工程师仍跟着车子,

in the event of an emergency or if the car’s navigation system gets confused.Blaskovich is excited about the new service.But the new technology also reminds her of an earlier time.Kind of like the old days when you get the milkman and the bread man come by the house.Get a little mini grocery store come by and you could get items that you need without having to go to the store.
以应对紧急情况或汽车的导航系统的混乱。布拉斯科维奇对这项新服务感到兴奋。但这项新技术也让她想起了更早的时候。有点像以前送奶工或者送面包工将货物送到家里的时候。他们会将一个小杂货铺带过来,这样就能不必去商店直接买到所需要的东西。The service allows Blaskovich to take care of other tasks while her order is filled, or simply relax and wait for her groceries to arrive.For writer Faiza Elmasry ,I’m Faith Lapidus, VOA news.
这项服务能够使布拉斯科维奇在完成订单后处理其他事情,或者只是放松一下,等待她的杂货到达。法伊扎·埃尔马斯里写稿,费斯·拉皮德斯美国之音播报
