00:00:00.290 --> 00:00:06.459
There's the oldest jokes of them all: it is, of course, the Trabant, the car for Eastern Germany.
笑話裡最老掉牙的題材──沒錯，就是東德的特拉邦汽車。

2
00:00:06.506 --> 00:00:11.526
And the old jokes: How do you double the value of a Trabant? Fill it up with petrol.
那些老笑話是這麼說的：你要怎麼讓一台特拉邦車的價值倍增？答案是幫它加滿油。

3
00:00:11.895 --> 00:00:18.053
Why do Trabants have heated rear windows? To keep your hands warm as you push the car down the road.
為什麼特拉邦有加熱的後車窗？因為要讓你在路上推車時能保持雙手溫暖。

4
00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:26.410
Jokes aside, many Germans -- in fact, many people in Central and Eastern Europe -- still have a soft spot for the classic car of East Berlin.
不談笑話了，許多德國人──事實上，是許多中歐和東歐的人──仍然對這款經典的東柏林車情有獨鍾，

5
00:00:26.838 --> 00:00:33.455
It's a far cry from the Made in Germany, the high-tech concept car that is so sophisticated.
它與精密複雜的高科技概念車 MadeInGermany相去甚遠。

6
00:00:33.675 --> 00:00:36.334
And recently, as part of our Future Cities,
最近，為了我們的節目《未來城市》其中一集，

7
00:00:36.389 --> 00:00:43.316
I was in Berlin, and for the first time -- I've never seen it before -- I saw a car that drove itself.
我來到柏林，第一次，我之前從來都沒有看過，我看到一輛自己駕駛的車。

8
00:00:48.982 --> 00:00:54.149
This is the Trabant, that powerful symbol of Communist life.
這就是特拉邦車，共產生活強而有力的象徵。

9
00:00:54.302 --> 00:01:03.227
Better than a bike, it was durable and affordable motorized wheels. It was the pride of East Berlin.
它比腳踏車好，是輛持久耐操而且價位親民的機動車，它是東柏林的驕傲。

10
00:01:04.081 --> 00:01:14.294
This smoke-belching, oil-guzzling little car lacked the most basic of features, such as brake lights or turn signals. 
這款噴著黑煙、十分耗油的小車，大部份基本配備都沒有，像是煞車燈或方向燈。

11
00:01:15.313 --> 00:01:20.613
Yet, the Trabi was the pride of the country, close to people's hearts.
然而，特拉邦是該國的驕傲，是民眾心之所愛。

12
00:01:21.902 --> 00:01:33.108
So, when the Berlin Wall fell, thousands of East Germans drove their Trabants across the border. It became a symbol of liberation.
所以，柏林圍牆倒下時，成千上萬名東德人開著他們的特拉邦穿越邊界，這變成了自由解放的象徵。

13
00:01:33.838 --> 00:01:40.039
Today, wheels of liberation has a different meaning: liberating the driver. 
如今，解放之車有了不同的意涵：解放駕駛。

14
00:01:42.437 --> 00:01:53.449
Look! No hands! No feet! This computer-controlled car is driving itself, right now negotiating its way through the heart of Berlin.
看！不用手！不用腳！這輛由電腦操控的車正在自己行駛，現在正順暢地穿越柏林的中心。

15
00:01:54.767 --> 00:01:58.576
We think that this can be the car of the future; it would be like a taxi. 
我們認為這可能就是未來車；它會像一輛計程車一樣。

16
00:01:58.988 --> 00:02:04.009
You don't even need to own a car, you don't have to park the car, you don't need a garage at home.
你甚至不需要擁有一輛車，你不必停車，你家不需要有車庫。

17
00:02:04.178 --> 00:02:13.043
The idea is to unclog the streets. You can move the complete city of Berlin combining public transportation with autonomous taxis.
這個構想是為了保持道路暢通，結合大眾交通運輸與自動駕駛計程車，你就可以行遍整個柏林市。

18
00:02:13.124 --> 00:02:19.859
Made in Germany began life here, in a research laboratory of Berlin's Freie University. 
MadeInGermany從這裡展開生命，在柏林自由大學的研究實驗室裡，

19
00:02:20.644 --> 00:02:28.274
Professor Rojas and his team test the artificial intelligence technology with soccer-playing robots.
羅亞斯教授和他的團隊用踢足球的機器人測試人工智慧科技。

20
00:02:29.568 --> 00:02:35.542
This is one of our earlier humanoids, and you can always see there is a camera. 
這是我們早期做的人形機器人之一，你隨時可以看到那裡有一台攝影機。

21
00:02:36.191 --> 00:02:43.805
The camera captures the field, and then you have to process the information as humans do when they are seeing.
攝影機捕捉環境的影像，接著你必須像人在看東西時所做的一樣去處理訊息。

22
00:02:44.144 --> 00:02:55.610
A regular car is enhanced with sophisticated lasers, radar, video cameras and a very sensitive GPS system. It can think on its own.
一輛一般的車子加上精密的雷射、雷達、攝影機和一個非常敏銳的全球衛星定位系統就可提升能力，它能自己思考。

23
00:02:56.653 --> 00:03:01.867
The computer knows the traffic rules. It knows that it has to stop if the traffic light is red.
這部電腦懂得交通規則，它知道紅燈時它必須停下來。

24
00:03:02.095 --> 00:03:07.629
What's incredible about this driverless car is that it's allowed out in public. 
這台免駕駛車了不起的地方，是它獲准在公共場合行駛。

25
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.320
It took years to persuade Berlin's authorities it was safe.
花了好幾年才說服柏林政府它很安全。

26
00:03:12.808 --> 00:03:15.134
We are insured for 100 million euros.
我們保了一億歐元的險。

27
00:03:16.815 --> 00:03:25.735
It's quarter to eight on a Sunday morning. Berlin is just waking up, and we are about to go for a drive.
現在是週日早上七點四十五分，柏林才剛要醒來，而我們準備去兜個風。

28
00:03:27.161 --> 00:03:29.514
Are you seriously saying this car is driving itself?
你是當真地說這台車正在自己行駛嗎？

29
00:03:29.544 --> 00:03:32.039
Yeah, I don't do anything with my feet. Do you see my hands here?
沒錯，我的腳沒有做任何事情。你有沒有看到我的手在這兒？

30
00:03:32.051 --> 00:03:33.204
Put your hands above, on your head.
把你雙手舉高，放在你的頭上。

31
00:03:33.566 --> 00:03:37.065
And it will recognize the traffic lights. You see them here in the monitor?
它會辨識紅綠燈。你看到燈號在螢幕這裡了嗎？

32
00:03:37.222 --> 00:03:39.412
It's a remarkable experience, 
這是個了不起的體驗，

33
00:03:39.779 --> 00:03:50.420
to be in a car that knows how to steer, overtake, recognize and respond to traffic situations -- possibly even quicker than you or me. 
坐在一台知道如何駕駛、超車、辨識並對路況做出反應的車裡─—反應速度甚至可能比你我都還要快。

34
00:03:50.801 --> 00:03:55.865
A late change of traffic lights, and it stopped, thank goodness.
車子接近時紅綠燈突然變換了燈號，但它停了下來，謝天謝地。

35
00:03:57.389 --> 00:04:03.734
My first driverless ride and yes, I'm in one piece. 
我的第一次免駕駛乘車經驗，而且沒錯，我安然無恙。

36
00:04:04.063 --> 00:04:07.257
Of course, there are other such projects in the world. 
當然，世界上還有其他這樣的計畫。

37
00:04:07.670 --> 00:04:21.152
What makes this one unique is the relationship between university, research institutes, and the city, which has allowed this driverless car to get on the road.
而讓這個計畫獨一無二的，是大學、研究機構和城市之間的關係，促使免駕駛車能開上路。

38
00:04:22.586 --> 00:04:33.225
Whether it's Trabant or technology, Berlin knows it has the brain power and the imagination to put it on any future map.
不論是特拉邦或科技，伯林知道他們擁有在未來讓它發揚光大的腦力和想像力。
