 THIS ALL-ELECTRIC FLYING CAR WILL GO FOR THE PRICE OF AN SUV 这辆全电动飞行车只要一辆SUV的价钱 And the inventor says he can have them ready by next year 而且发明者说他明年就能把产品准备好上市 At this point, reading about flying cars feels a bit like trying to nab a table at some umpteen-star Scandinavian restaurant. Reservations are hyper-secretive or nowhere to be found, and even if you do manage to tuck in to a plate of foraged lemongrass, you know it’s going to cost you and arm and a leg. 目前来说, 读到有关飞行汽车感觉有点像要在一个超星级斯堪的纳维亚餐厅抢到一个桌子似的。预留信息是超隐秘，或者你连找都找不到， 即使就是你真的想方设法挤进去，要上一盘野采香茅, 你知道也是天价的. But among an aspiring auto-aviation landscape that includes options from a Google founder and Aston Martin, a bid from Palo Alto-based Opener is fixing to be the equivalent of your trusty, around-the-corner Italian joint. 但是, 在藏龙卧虎，包括一个谷歌创始人和阿斯顿马丁等精英的汽车航空业中, 位于Palo Alto 的Opener准备为你提供一个相似你备受信任的街角意大利馆子 Opener’s “BlackFly” is an all-electric, joystick-controlled hovercraft that’s resisted the temptations and trappings of other Silicon Valley flying car startups, instead prioritizing safety and ease of use. And most importantly, their founder Marcus Leng told CBS news they’ll be available next year. Opener的 "BlackFly" 是一个全电动, 操纵杆控制的气垫船。这个产品拒绝了其他硅谷的飞行汽车初创公司注重的诱惑和浮夸, 而把其重点放在安全和易用性上。最重要的是, 他们的创始人Marcus Leng 告诉 CBS 新闻, 他们的厂品明年就要上市。 All, apparently, for the price of a well-equipped SUV. 而显然，这一切只是一辆高配SUV的价钱就能买到。 An emphasis on shifting the conversation from “impossible” to “inevitable” (to borrow from BlackFly board member Alan Eustace) typifies Opener’s mission. Why further conceptualize a concept that’s yet to be realized? Opener的使命就是强调把飞行汽车的讨论重点从 "不可能的" 转移到 "不可避免的" (借用 BlackFly 董事会成员Alan Eustace的话说) 。为什么要进一步把一个尚未实现的概念更加概念化呢？ BlackFly is intended for commuters — the pragmatist's flying car, if such a thing can exist. The 13-foot-long vehicle utilizes return-home and auto-land features to simplify the navigational controls on an already intuitive joystick, cruises at 62-MPH and noticeably outperforms electric cars in the energy department. It only takes 25 minutes to charge, too. 如果实用的飞行汽车确实可以存在，BlackFly 就是为日常通勤者而造的-实用主义的飞行车。这辆13英尺长的运载工具利用自动返航和自动着陆功能, 进一步简化了已经很直观的操纵杆导航控制。 其巡航速度是每小时62英里, 在能源耗费上明显优于电动汽车。充电也只需要25分钟。 As for whether their mission is realistic or just as lofty as the altitude at which it flies? Only time will tell. 至于他们的使命是现实的还是和他们的产品的飞行高度一样，有些高不可及？只有时间才会知道。 👇 |
