That left the chassis unencumbered, so you can dothings like fold, so you can fold this little vehicle upto occupy a tiny little footprint.

这使得底盘灵活不收阻碍，所以你可以进行底盘折叠，你可以把这辆小车折叠起来使得占据的空间变得更小。

This was a video that was on European television lastweek showing the Spanish Minister of Industrydriving this little vehicle, and when it's folded, it can spin.You don't need reverse. You don't need parallel parking.You just spin and go directly in.So we've been working with a company to commercialize this. My PhD student Ryan Chinpresented these early ideas two years ago at a TEDx conference.

这是上周在欧洲电视台上播放的一个视频讲了西班牙的工业部长开着这辆小车，而且当它折叠起来时，它还可以旋转。无需退车，也无需平行泊车。你只要旋转一下，直接开进去就行了。所以我们已经在和一家公司合作将它商业化。我的博士生Ryan Chin两年前在TEDx的一个大会上提出了这个想法。

So what's interesting is, then if you begin to add new things to it, like autonomy, you get outof the car,you park at your destination, you pat it on the butt,it goes and it parks itself, itcharges itself,and you can get something like seven times as many vehicles in a given area asconventional cars,and we think this is the future. Actually we could do this today.It's not really a problem.

更有趣的是，你会开始不断为它增加新的东西，像自动化，你走出这部车，想要停在指定位置，你就拍下它的屁屁,它就自动进去停车，自己控制自己，而且一个传统的汽车的车位你可以停放七辆这样的小车，我们觉得这就是未来，其实我们今天已经可以做到了。没什么大问题的。

We can combine shared use and folding and autonomy and we get something like 28 timesthe land utilization with that kind of strategy.我们能把共享使用和折叠还有自动化结合起来，而且我们的土地使用率可以提高28倍，只要按照这种方式（就会有可能）。

One of our graduate students then says, well,how does a driverless car communicate withpedestrians?You have nobody to make eye contact with.You don't know if it's going to run you over.So he's developing strategies so the vehicle can communicate with pedestrians,so,So theheadlights are eyeballs, the pupils can dilate,we have directional audio, we can throw sounddirectly at people.

我们的一个毕业生说，好吧，这个无人驾驶的车，怎样提防行人呢？没有司机看着它啊。也不知道它是不是会把你碾过去。所以他在研究怎样让这辆车留心我们的行人，所以,所以车头灯成了眼球，它的瞳孔会扩大的，我们有指导声频，所以可以在人们面前直接发声。

What I love about this project is he solved a problem that hasn't, that doesn't exist yet, so,wealso think that we can democratize access to bike lanes.我之所以钟情这个项目，是因为他解决了一个问题，而这个问题，甚至还未存在，所以，我们同时也觉得我们可以扩大范围到自行车道。

You know, bike lanes are mostly used by young guys in stretchy pants,you know.So,we thinkwe can develop a vehicle that operates on bike lanes,accessible to elderly and disabled,womenin skirts, businesspeople, and address the issues of energy congestion,mobility,aging andobesity simultaneously.

自行车道大多是都是穿着弹性裤的年轻人在用，所以，你懂的，所以，我们觉得我们可以发明一种能在自行车道行驶的交通工具，老年人和残疾人，穿裙妇女，商业人士都可以用同时针对能源消耗，流动性，老年化和肥胖症这些问题。

That's our challenge.This is an early design for this little three-wheel,it's an electronic bike. You have to pedal tooperate it in a bike lane, but if you're an older person,that's a switch. If you're a healthyperson,you might have to work really hard to go fast.You can dial in 40 calories going into work and 500 going home, when you can take a shower.We hope to have that built this fall.

那就是我们的挑战这是我们早期设计的小三轮车,它是电动自行车，你得踩踏板它才会在自行车道上行驶，但如果你是个上了年纪的人，那儿有个开关。如果你是个身体健康的人，你可能得踩得很费劲它才会很快骑着它去上班你可以消耗40卡路里，然后回家时消耗500卡路里，然后再洗个澡。我们期待它在今年秋天可以面世。

Housing is another area where we can really improve.Mayor Menino in Boston says lack of affordable housing for young people is one of the biggestproblems the city faces.Developers say, okay, we'll build little teeny apartments.People say, we don't really want to live in a little teeny conventional apartment.

住房是我们能改善的另一个方面。波士顿的市长Menino说这个城市面临最大的问题的之一就是缺乏可以让年轻人负担得起的住房。开发商说，好吧，那我们就来建造小型的公寓但人们说，我们其实不想住进这些狭小的传统型公寓。

So we're saying let's build a standardized chassis,much like our car. Let's bring advancedtechnology into the apartment, technology-enabled infill,give people the tools within this open-loft chassis to go through a process of defining what their needs,and values and activities are,and then a matching algorithm will match a unique assembly of integrated infill components,furniture, and cabinetry,that are personalized to that individual, and they give them the tools togo through the process and to refine it,and it's something like working with an architect,wherethe dialogue starts when you give an alternative to a person to react to.

所以我们说，得建造标准的“底盘”，就像我们的车一样，让我们把高科技引进公寓，比如那些科技辅助的填充料，在这个宽敞的阁楼“底架”内，让人们拿起工具自己动手去创造，去诠释他们的需求，价值观和行为，然后会有一个对应的算法，对应整套独特的填充物组件，家具，还有橱柜，而且是为个人量身定做的，让他们有机会拿起工具完成整个过程并完善它，这就像和建筑师一起合作，而对话的内容往往是关于这里我想选择这么做。

Now, the most interesting implementation of that for us is when you can begin to have roboticwalls, so your space can convert from exercise to a workplace,if you run a virtual company.现在，住进去最好玩的事情就是当你拥有了机器墙，这样就就能调整空间，不管是变成运动室还是工作室，只要你开了公司（一切就都有可能）。

You have guests over, you have two guestrooms that are developed.You have a conventional one-bedroom arrangement when you need it. Maybe that's most ofthe time.You have a dinner party. The table folds out to fit 16 people in otherwise a conventional one-bedroom,or maybe you want a dance studio.

有客人拜访时，你就可以扩展两间客房。当你需要的时候，你可以变出一间传统卧室，可能大部分时间都是这样。当你有宴会时，桌子会翻折开来，在其他时间都是传统卧室里的空间里容纳下16个人，或者你想改造成舞蹈室也行。

Thank you so much.十分感谢。

(Applause)（掌声）
