Toyota's far-out vision for the car of the future Toyota對未來車子的前衛願景
Toyota's car of the future looks like something out of
a science fiction movie.
Toyota未來的車子看起來就像從科幻電影裡出來的一樣。
Toyota (TM) showed off its Concept-i vehicle Wednesday
at CES 2017 to share its vision for how cars might look in 2030.
Toyota (TM)在星期三的2017年消費性電子展展示它的概念i車款，分享它對於2030年車子會是什麼樣子的願景。
It sits four people, but that's about the only thing
the Concept-i has in common with today's cars. Its doors are made almost
entirely of glass to give passengers a better view of the road beneath them.
The rear wheels are built into the car's sleek white frame.
它能承載四個人，但這是概念i和現在的車子唯一一樣的地方，為了讓乘客對身下的路能有更好的視野，它的門幾乎全是用玻璃製成，後輪被建造在圓滑的白色骨架中。
Meanwhile, the screen on the car's rear displays
warnings such as "watch out" for anyone driving behind the Concept-i.
同時，車子後部的銀幕會展示警告標誌，像是對在概念i後方的駕駛說「小心」。
It's unclear how much the Concept-i would cost.
還不清楚概念i會花費多少成本。
Although the car is designed with the future in mind,
it still requires a human driver. The car comes with autonomous driving
features, but they're designed to be used only in challenging driving
situations.
雖然這輛車是想像中的未來設計，但它還是需要人類駕駛，車子內包含自動駕駛的特性，不過它們只是被設計在艱難的駕駛情形中使用。
"As long as there's beautiful twisty roads and fantastic
scenery, people are going to want the experience of navigating that
themselves," William Chergosky, a Toyota design manager for the Concept-i
told CNN.
Toyota的概念i設計經理William Chergosky告訴CNN：「只要有美麗又曲折的路和絕佳的風景，人們就會想要自行駕駛。」
Toyota didn't want the vehicle to come across as an
impersonal, soulless technology. It intentionally picked bright warm colors
such as white and pink for the concept model.
Toyota不希望車子給人一種沒有人情味又沒有靈魂的印象，因此它故意為概念模型挑選又亮又溫暖的顏色像是白色和粉紅色。
"It's easy to design technology in a cold way,"
Chergosky said. "You have to find a way to endear the technology to people
to make them want to drive it."
Chergosky表示：「要將科技設計得冷漠很容易，你必須找到一個方法來使科技受人喜愛並讓人們想要駕駛。
Toyota will start testing the vehicle in Japan in the
next few years. But don't count on the Concept-i hitting the roads anytime
soon.
Toyota未來幾年將在日本開始進行車輛測試，但別指望能在近期看到概念i上路。
