特斯拉的无人出租车将会在2024年向全世界发布，并且它们将会是完全自动的，没有让人类驾驶员接管的选项。
Tesla’s fleet of robotaxis will be unleashed onto the world in 2024, and they will truly be autonomous, with no option for human driver to take over.
在星期三的特斯拉财报电话上，公司CEO马斯克说无人出租车将会“高度为自动化优化”并不会有方向盘和刹车踏板。
During Tesla’s earnings call Wednesday, company CEO Elon Musk said the robotaxi is “highly optimized for autonomy” and won’t have a steering wheel or pedals.
马斯克也暗示了其他“激动人心的”发明创造，并说目标是每英里达到尽可能最低的开销，而且乘坐特斯拉的无人出租车的价钱将比坐公交车要低。
Musk hinted at other “exciting” innovations, saying the goal is to achieve the lowest cost-per-mile possible, and that the cost of taking a Tesla robotaxi would be lower than riding a bus.
“我认为这是一个很强大的产品，”他说，并说这将是“特斯拉的成长的一大驱动因素。”
“I think it will be a very powerful product,” he said, adding that it will be a “massive driver for Tesla’s growth.”
这个无人的出租车将会在明年的某个时间发布，特斯拉计划在2024年底前大量生产，马斯克说。
The robotaxi will be unveiled sometime next year, and the company plans to mass produce it by 2024, Musk said.
马斯克在公司近期的”Cyber Rodeo”活动上提到了这个无人的出租车，说它会看起来”很有未来感“。而且他从2019年开始就在谈论无人出租车，即便当时他说的是公司的标准车型，那些车型都有一定程度上的自动驾驶。
Musk mentioned the robotaxi vehicle at the company’s recent “Cyber Rodeo” event, saying that it will look “quite futuristic.” And he’s been talking about robotaxis since 2019, though at that point Musk was referring to the company’s standard lineup of cars, which are all capable to some degree of autonomous driving.
达到全自动驾驶的目标被证明是一个对于特斯拉来说很难以捉摸的问题。但是在电话中，马斯克说公司开发的全自动驾驶技术很难达到完美。
Reaching that goal of full autonomy has proven elusive for Tesla, however. During the call, Musk said that the company’s Full Self Driving tech has been extraordinarily difficult to perfect.
”在我参与的技术发展中，我从没见过比开发全自动驾驶更多的虚假的黎明时刻了，就是那种看起来我们要取得进展，但是却没有的时候。“他说，”为了实现全自动驾驶你要解决现实生活中的AI，但是没有人解决过。“
“Of any technology development I’ve ever been involved in, I’ve never really seen more false dawns, where it seems that we’re gonna break through, but we don’t, as I’ve seen in Full Self Driving,” he said. “To solve Full Self Driving you actually have to solve real world artificial intelligence, which nobody has solved.”
”我认为我们今年就能完成这个目标，“他接着说。
“I think we will achieve that this year,” he added.
