Uber to test self-driving cars in Arizona after California roadblock 在加州受阻後 Uber在亞利桑那州測試無人駕駛車
The California
Department of Motor Vehicles revoked Uber's autonomous vehicle registration
this week after the company failed to obtain proper permits before hitting the
public streets in San Francisco. So Uber moved its efforts to the desert on
Thursday.
Uber在舊金山公共街道上路前，因不願取得合法的許可證，加州車輛管理局撤銷Uber自動駕駛車輛登記，因此Uber在星期四將它的努力成果移往沙漠地區。
"Our cars
departed for Arizona this morning by truck," an Uber spokesperson told
CNNMoney in an email. "We'll be expanding our self-driving pilot there in
the next few weeks, and we're excited to have the support of Governor
Ducey."
Uber的發言人在寫給CNN財經的電子郵件裡面提到：「今早我們的車子已用卡車運送，出發前往亞利桑那州。在接下來的幾個禮拜我們會在那廣徵自駕車駕駛，我們很期待能獲得州長Ducey的支持。」
Uber had planned to
roll out 16 self-driving Volvos in San Francisco to test its autonomous driving
technology. Two human "drivers" would sit in the front seats to ensure
the vehicles were operating properly.
Uber已經計畫在舊金山推出16輛Volvo的自駕車去測試其自動駕駛技術。會有兩位真人駕駛坐在前座，確保車輛正常運作。
The California DMV
initially told Uber it must obtain permits to operate on public roads like
other companies testing self-driving technology, including Google (GOOG), Ford
(F), and GM (GM). The company tried to skirt regulations,
saying its tests fell under a different purview and likened its autonomous cars
to Tesla's autopilot that doesn't require the same permits.
起初加州車輛管理局告知Uber其必須同其他測試自駕技術的公司持有許可證，包含Google、福特汽車及通用汽車。Uber試圖避開法規，他表示其測試是列在不同的範圍之下，且拿其自駕車跟特斯拉汽車的自動駕駛相比，他們認為是不需要相同的許可的。
A spokeswoman for
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey told CNNMoney Uber already operates a self-driving
car program in Arizona. The company partnered with the University of Arizona to
research mapping technology in 2015.
一位亞利桑那州州長Doug Ducey的發言人向CNN財經表示，Uber已經在亞利桑那州執行自駕車計畫了。Uber於2015年和亞利桑那州大學合作研究映射技術。
Tim Tait, an
spokesman for the Arizona Department of Transportation, told CNNMoney there are
no special regulations in Arizona for self-driving cars. They must obtain the
same registration as any other vehicle. Tait said Alphabet's new self-driving
car company and GM are also testing vehicles in Arizona.
亞利桑那州交通部的發言人Tim Tait，向CNN財經表示在亞利桑那州對自駕車沒有什麼特別的規範。他們只必須取得同其它車輛一樣的登記。Tim Tait還說Alphabet新成立的自駕車公司及通用汽車公司也在亞利桑那州測試車輛。
Governor Ducey
published a statement on Thursday welcoming Uber and criticizing California for
its "burdensome" laws.
Arizona's regulations
regarding autonomous vehicle testing are not as strict as California's. In
2015, Governor Ducey signed an executive order to support autonomous vehicle
testing and attract new technology business to the state.
州長Ducey於星期四發表聲明，表示歡迎Uber進入且批評加州過度繁雜的法律。
亞利桑那州關於自駕車的規範不向加州這麼嚴苛。2015年，州長Ducey簽署行政命令支持自駕車測試及歡迎新創企業進駐。
