2:09 [Comment From IloveGM(GeorgeMichael): ]
Yes, I could feel the mood through the videoclip..

2:12 [Comment From Pookie Pookie: ]
How much is EN-V projected to cost? Would it be similar to the purchase-price of a motorcycle?

2:12 翻译:
EN-V的成本是多少？是不是就像一部摩托车？

2:12 Chris Borroni-Bird:
We have not calculated the cost for EN-V because it is a vision concept, but the technology is feasible today and we we believe with such a small vehicle, not needing a large battery and motor to propel it that such vehicles will be very affordable and less expensive than today's cars.

2:14 翻译:
我们还没有实际计算EN-V的成本，因为它目前只是一部概念车，但是所使用的技术已经是可行的了，我们相信这样一部小型车，不需要非常大的电池和马达来驱动，这会是价格更能让人接受比现在车更便宜

2:14 [Comment From 松鼠会 松鼠会: ]
你好，我在微博上看了昨天EN-V发布的直播，非常科幻的概念车，我的问题是，关于车联网技术，有什么简单的办法能够统一所有不同的车型和行人吗？就像我们今天使用的SIM卡一样。

2:16 主持人Tina:
观众问题很踊跃，博士回答很严谨。
请大家耐心等待~

2:18 Chris Borroni-Bird:
GM is working with other car companies and governments around the world to create standards so that all vehicles will be able to communicate with each other and with the roadside infrastructure and with people so that accidents and congestions can be reduced, and new services can be offered to drivers

2:19 翻译:
通用汽车正在和全球各国政府和汽车公司密切合作，希望能够形成一种规范。这样所有的车辆将互相沟通，并与路面的基础设施进行对话。所使用的无线通讯频率是 5.9赫兹，我们相信能实现车辆与基础设施，与行人之间的沟通，能够减少交通事故和交通堵塞，也能为驾驶者提供更多的服务

2:19 主持人Tina:
揩揩汗

2:20 [Comment From Richardson Richardson: ]
hi there

2:20 [Comment From LF&LE LF&LE: ]
WOW~为EN-V加油，为主持人呐喊助威~

2:20 [Comment From Louis9 Louis9: ]
你好chris，我是新浪汽车博客，我也参加了昨天的活动。我想知道，目前的EN-V是两人座的，在未来的版本当中，是否能有4人座和更多座的？目前基于SEGWAY的驱动方式能满足这样的扩展需求吗？

2:23 [Comment From 薛子 薛子: ]
为什么EN-V是两轮，而不是常规的四轮？

2:23 主持人Tina:
油。。。这两位童鞋很贪心的嘛~

2:24 Chris Borroni-Bird:
GM believes in the future small electric vehicles networked together to address urban mobility, it doesn't have to be side by side or balanced

2:25 翻译:
通用汽车相信在未来，小型电动车能通过无线通讯实现互联来应对城市交通，这样可以有很多的选择和空间

2:26 [Comment From 犀利哥 犀利哥: ]
你们会对公众销售这款车型吗？会什么时候上市？

2:27 主持人Tina:
犀利哥也来啦！欢迎欢迎

2:27 Chris Borroni-Bird:
the EN-Vs shown yesterday are concepts only

2:27 翻译:
昨天发布的EN-V只是概念车

2:27 Chris Borroni-Bird:
we are exploring how best to evolve this design to make it more practical

2:28 翻译:
我们也在探索如何将这样的设计变成现实

2:28 [Comment From auto auto auto auto: ]
你认为20年的时间足够实现这些愿景么？

2:28 Chris Borroni-Bird:
yes, 20 years is enough time because the technology is available today and these vehicles should be very affordable. the challenges is to find a good place to introduce it

2:30 翻译:
是的，20年的时间我们相信技术上是完全能实现的，它的价格也能让人接受，挑战之一是要找到一个合适的地方来介绍它

2:30 [Comment From 广州日报 广州日报: ]
Is EN-V safe enough? what do you say if it meets a crash?

2:30 主持人Tina:
广州日报问：EN-V这款车够安全么？如果遇到车祸怎么办？

2:31 Chris Borroni-Bird:
EN-V is designed for low speed urban environment and has technology to avoid collisions. We would like to see it operate on dedicated lanes or roads to give more protection, otherwise we will need to engineer a future version with more structure to provide crash protection

2:33 翻译:
EN-是为在大城市相对低速行驶的环境设计的。我们期望他能在专门的车道上行驶，能提供足够的保护。否则，我们就需要让我们的工程师来设计一个未来的版本，为它提供更多安全保护





2:33 [Comment From IloveGM(GeorgeMichael) :]
For me, Miao looks most attractive. What is your favorite among three of EN-Vs?

2:33 [Comment From 来自新浪微博 来自新浪微博: ]
您最喜欢哪一款？

2:33 Chris Borroni-Bird:
They are my babies... they each represent something beautiful about autonomous driving, the Jiao shows the design freedom if crash requirements are reduced, the Xiao shows the capability to move people who currently cannot move themselves; and Miao shows the virtual gaming experience when you no longer have to drive the vehicle

2:35 翻译:
他们都像我的小孩，他们每一个都分别代表了自动驾驶技术将为个人交通带来的一些革新：这一技术让交通事故发生的概率大大减低，这就使得“骄”的设计得以充分自由发挥；“笑”则表现了这一技术将为更多现在行动不太自由的人的未来出行提供便利，“妙”可以让大家在车辆行驶中玩网络游戏，因为大家不需要再自己亲自开车。


2:35 [Comment From Daniel Glick Daniel Glick: ]
Hi Chris, Has GM looked at Wireless Power Transmission Technology for charging EV's or even for powering modules inside our vehicles? Will EN-V utilise this?

2:36 主持人Tina:
Daniel Glick的问题：你好Chris,通用汽车有没有在为EN-V寻找某种无线充电技术？用来驱动汽车的电池充电，甚至为车内电源充电？

2:36 Chris Borroni-Bird:
Yes, GM is evaluating both inductive charging and witricity in addition to conductive charging.

2:38 翻译:
是的，通用汽车正同时研发感应式无线充电和插座充电

2:38 Chris Borroni-Bird:
and by 2030 it's possible that in a new city certain roads might be dedicated for autonomous vehicles and also could provide electric charging inductively in the road....

2:39 翻译:
到2030，在未来城市，我们将看到一种特殊的道路专门为自动驾驶车辆服务，将提供无线感应式充电

2:40 [Comment From Guest Guest: ]
Chris Borroni-Bird 博士，你好。我是上海证券报的记者吴琼。昨天看到你们的概念车，很可爱。这或许揭示了未来的某种发展方向。你认为，车联网的终极目标是什么？需要哪些产业来支撑？

2:40 Chris Borroni-Bird:
The objective of connectivity between vehicles is to avoid crashes, improve traffic flow

2:40 翻译:
车联网的目的是使车辆互联，避免事故，改善交通流量

2:41 Chris Borroni-Bird:
Car companies must work with governments and telecommunication and infrastructure providers to develop the solution. Just as car companies must work with government and electricity providers to develop the electric charging infrastruture



2:42 翻译:
汽车制造企业需要和政府，电信，基础设施部门合作，共同研究解决方案。就像和政府，电力部门合作，提供充电方案

2:42

2:43 主持人Tina:
这个是骄~

2:43 [Comment From Huang Huang: ]
昨天看到新闻了，关于EN-V的，您个人对昨天的活动感受如何？

2:43 Chris Borroni-Bird:
I was very nervous before the launch, but extremely happy during the event. The vehicles looked truly beautiful, and they moved so gracefully, bringing smile to everyone's face

2:43 Chris Borroni-Bird:
i was relieved afterwards... it went so well

2:44 翻译:
在发布会前我也很紧张，但是在活动过程中我非常得高兴，这几辆车真的很漂亮，它们动起来很优雅，让在场的每一个人都很快乐。

2:45 翻译:
整个发布会非常成功，事后，我终于觉得放心了

2:45

2:45 主持人Tina:
这个是笑！

2:45 Chris Borroni-Bird:
it has been three years since we started this program coincidentally in Shanghai... and it's finally introduced to the world.... we want our vision for the future to be very positive and optimistic that people in the future will have even more freedom than they do now to move around and to express themselves

2:47 翻译:
整个项目历时三年，我们在美国与上海的团队一起工作。现在它终于和大家见面了。我们希望我们对未来的愿景是积极的，人们在未来将获得更多的自由出行，并借此表达自己的想法

2:47 [Comment From Lei China Auto Review Lei China Auto Review: ]
Hi chris thank you for taking time out for the webchat. As the ENV is still at the concept stage, what will be done to the concept going forward and what is your estimate of a time frame of when an actual production prototype would be ready?

2:47 主持人Tina:
Lei China Auto Review Lei China Auto Review 的问题：你好Chris，谢谢你在百忙之中抽空与我们网络聊天。EN-V现在还在概念车阶段，那在将来你自己有没有一个具体的时间表，啥时候他的量产版能够出来呢？

2:48 Chris Borroni-Bird:
I'm beginning to think about the next generation even now. but for sure it will contain the same basic elements, electric networked and small vehicle because we need to solve energy, environment , safety, congestion , parking and affordability at the same time

2:49 翻译:
我已经开始考虑下一代的车辆，但是可以肯定地是他的基本理念是一样的，电动、联网并且体积很小，从而解决环境，污染，安全，堵塞，停车等一系列问题

2:49 Chris Borroni-Bird:
it is difficult to predict when such vehicle can go to production and may depend on finding a willing city or organization to test this system and vehicles out because EN-V is not an individual vehicle, it is a networked vehicle

2:49 翻译:
很难预测，如果要量产的话我们必须找到一个城市来路试，因为EN-V不是单独存在的车，它是联网的车

2:50

2:50 主持人Tina:
这个是骄~

2:50 [Comment From 小云飘阿飘 小云飘阿飘: ]
chris 博士，这款车需要专门的车道吗？

2:50 Chris Borroni-Bird:
if EN-Vs can operate on dedicated lanes or zones, then we don't need to design them to coexist with heavier cars and trucks and they could look quite similar to the current concept

2:51 翻译:
如果EN-V能在专门的车道或者区域行驶，那它就不需要和大型车辆或者卡车一起在路面行驶 ，这样设计就比较简单，会跟今天看到的EN-V 设计比较接近

2:51 Chris Borroni-Bird:
if want them to coexist with conventional vehicles, we cannot rely on the networking, because conventional vehicles don't have wireless communication capability. so we will have to increase the structure of the vehicle to provide necessary protection

2:52 翻译:
如果想要EN-V和传统车辆共行，因为那些车没有无线连接，我们就需要改进车辆的结构增加安全，让EN-V更具安全性

2:52 Chris Borroni-Bird:
having said that, the vehicle still provides more protection than electric bike or scooter


2:52 翻译:
但即便这样，EN-V能提供的保护已经比摩托车和轮滑要来得好多了！

2:53 [Comment From Ada Queen Ada Queen: ]
弱弱的问一下，在世博会期间，普通市民可以去通用的展馆亲自驾驶EN-V吗？

2:53 Chris Borroni-Bird:
I'm sorry, I'm afraid for 3 million visitors we will not be able to have everyone drive the vehicles in the pavilion....

2:56 翻译:
额。。。非常抱歉。。。我恐怕没有办法让所有300万来汽车馆的游客都能亲自驾驶。



2:56 [Comment From auto today auto today: ]
EN-V是PUMA的升级版么？

2:56 Chris Borroni-Bird:
the PUMA concept was only for the chasis system, EN-V builds on the platform by adding autonomous driving and compelling design and styling

2:57 翻译:
PUMA只是一种底盘系统，而且EN-V是在此平台上增加了自动驾驶的功能，以及其他的设计时尚元素！

2:57 [Comment From John John: ]
How does OnStar factor into EN-Vs DNA of "connectivity"?

2:58 主持人Tina:
John的问题：OnStar怎么就和EN-V的连接性这一DNA联系起来了呢？

2:58 Chris Borroni-Bird:
OnStar is a milestone along the way towards long-term objective of vehicles that can drive themselves and don't crash

2:58 翻译:
OnStar是我们在实现无人驾驶技术这一长远发展目标过程中的一个里程碑

2:58 [Comment From 水旭 水旭: ]
all these R&D were conducted in PATAC?

2:59 Chris Borroni-Bird:
PATAC was involved in the initial stage and is providing support to the EN-Vs during the Expo.

The autonomous driving technology was developed in our R&D center in Detroit. and the propulsion chasis system was developed by Segaway. The three bodies were designed in three separate studios around the world

3:01 翻译:
泛亚技术中心在最初的阶段就参与了这个项目，并且会在今年世博期间支持EN-V的运行。

自动驾驶技术是在底特律的研发中心发展的，车辆底盘和动力系统是由segway研发的，车辆是由通用汽车全球三个地方的设计中心设计的

3:01 [Comment From auto today auto today: ]
您觉得要实现2030的愿景，零堵塞，零污染，自动驾驶等等，预计最大的困难会是什么？

3:02 Chris Borroni-Bird:
probably reaching zero fatalities on the roads is the most challenging goal, because it requires more cooperation not only between car companies but with governments and individual pedestrians and cyclists

3:03 翻译:
或许，要实现路上完全无伤亡是最大的挑战，因为这不仅需要汽车公司之间的协调，还需要政府和行人以及骑自行车的人之间进行协调。

3:04 [Comment From China Automotive Review China Automotive Review: ]
Also does this ENV mean that GM has put EV as its future stress to replace current hybrids?

3:04 主持人Tina:
China Automotive ...的问题：EN-V概念车的出现是不是表明通用汽车正用他们来代替现有的混合动力车？

3:04 Chris Borroni-Bird:
EN-V is a specific solution for urban environments. battery electric vehicles like EN-V currently do not have the range to meet all transportation needs but it can make a lot of sense for driving in big cities because they are zero emissions and can be small, quiet and affordable

3:04 翻译:
EN-V是一个针对城市环境的具体解决方案， EN-V这样的电池电动汽车现在还不能满足所有人的交通需求，但是很多大城市很 有可行性，因为它能实现零排放，小型设计，安静且便宜

3:05 [Comment From 广州日报 广州日报: ]
希望能有一些体验活动，要不然总有些看得见摸不着的感觉

3:05 Chris Borroni-Bird:
We are planning on some media ride and drive programs very soon... please stay tuned

3:06 翻译:
我们确实正在计划一些媒体试乘试驾项目，请耐心期待。。。

3:06 [Comment From 广州日报 广州日报: ]
你好Chris，我是广州日报的记者。现在人们连电动车都不太能接受，您认为个人移动工具会得到人们的普遍认可吗？

3:07 Chris Borroni-Bird:
conventional electric vehicles tend to be quite expensive, because they are designed for about 100 kM range and 100 KM/hour speed. EN-V is a smaller, lighter vehicle with range and speed appropriate for urban environment only, and this can make it really affordable

3:08 翻译:
传统的电动车通常非常昂贵，因为他们的设计目标是能行使超过100公里范围，最高速度100公里每小时，EN-V是一部小型车辆，针对城市速度和行驶范围，我们会让他的成本更让人接受！

3:09 [Comment From vecky vecky: ]
EN-V有哪些高科技的技术阿？

3:09 Chris Borroni-Bird:
EN-V uses electric motors in each wheel to provide braking, steering and accelerating so there's no steering column or foot brakes. it uses sensors, and wireless communications and GPS to drive autonomously so it can avoid crashes

3:10 翻译:
EN-V的两侧轮子都由电动马达驱动，同时提供刹车，转向和加速，没有脚踏板，他使用感应器，以及无线通讯，以及GPS定位系统来实现无人驾驶从而避免碰撞

3:10 [Comment From gmemployee gmemployee: ]
Dear Chris, would you please tell us which supplier provided the battery for EN-V? I was told it comes from a Chinese supplier. Could you please tell us the name?

3:10 主持人Tina:
gmemployee的问题：亲爱的Chris，你可以告诉我们哪家供应商提供了EN-V的电池？听说是一家来自中国的供应商，能说下具体是哪家吗？

3:10 Chris Borroni-Bird:
The battery used in EN-V is the same one that's used in Segway. it comes from China and the supplier is Valence

3:11 翻译:
EN-V上使用的电池和Segway上用的是一样的，他的电池供应商来自中国，名字叫做Valence





3:11 主持人Tina:
时间无情地流走，Chris博士的眼中充满了不舍与留恋。现在是最后一个问题的时间。

3:12 [Comment From 广州日报 广州日报: ]
需要驾照么？哈哈

3:12 Chris Borroni-Bird:
In autonomous mode, everyone can get a ride, no one needs a license!

3:13 翻译:
自动驾驶模式下，每个人都可以乘坐，所以也不需要驾照！

3:13 Chris Borroni-Bird:
In some parts of the world today, low speed vehicles do not require same license as for cars...

3:14 翻译:
现在世界上有些城市使用一些低速行驶的交通工具，也不需要传统意义上的驾照

3:14 主持人Tina:
帮博士擦擦汗，博士特地为大家延长10分钟，掌声鼓励鼓励~~

3:15 Chris Borroni-Bird:
I enjoyed responding to excellent questions that were posted. I wish i could have answered more. It's been fantastic seeing the EN-Vs make their debut yesterday in Shanghai. I will never forget this moment. I will be back soon to see them perform in the pavilion... please come to visit us!

3:16 翻译:
非常高兴得看到这么多那么好的问题，我希望能回答更多一些的问题… EN-V昨天终于亮相了，我非常兴奋激动。我不会忘记那个时刻。我一定会再回到上海，去汽车馆看EN-V的表演。希望你们也来我们的汽车馆看EN-V！
