At GM's Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, hundreds of real drivers sit in cars. They sit in models like the Cadillac Lyriq.

在密歇根州沃伦市的通用汽车全球技术中心,数百名真实驾驶员坐进凯迪拉克Lyriq等车型。

They experience many different driving situations.

But the car is real, while the world they see is simulated.

This is a 360-degree immersive environment.

The system records their eye movements, heart rate, sweating, and other reactions.

GM uses this method to test advanced driver assistance systems, also called ADAS.

通用汽车用这种方式测试高级驾驶辅助系统,也就是ADAS。

This kind of technology already supports features like automatic emergency braking, blind spot warnings, and lane centering assistance.

这类技术目前已支持自动紧急制动、盲点警告和车道居中辅助等功能。

These features let drivers "take their hands off the wheel" at certain times.

这些功能让驾驶员在某些时候可以“解放双手”。

Car makers expect that these systems will eventually become very advanced.

汽车制造商预计,这些系统最终会变得很先进。

By then, drivers can take their hands off the steering wheel and their eyes off the road.

Abuelsamid said 2028 is a rough timeline.

Since 2017, General Motors has sold vehicles with Super Cruise.

This is a hands-free driving assistance system, not self-driving.

这是一种解放双手的辅助驾驶系统,不是自动驾驶。

It can be used on more than 630,000 roads in the US and Canada.

GM executive Tyson Becker said drivers can take their hands off the wheel. But they must keep their eyes on the road.

One of the hardest parts of self-driving technology is predicting unexpected situations on the road. It must also handle them.

开发自动驾驶技术最难的部分之一,是预测并应对道路上的意外场景。

In simulations, GM had drivers with different experience levels face many computer-generated scenes.

通用汽车在模拟中让不同经验水平的驾驶员面对大量计算机生成的场景。

In a control room, the company watched data like heart rate, stress, and eye movement.

One way to test a driver's attention was to have them play Candy Crush.

So it is still unclear where GM can offer the system by 2028.

因此通用汽车到2028年能在哪里提供该系统仍有待观察。
