Dialog Google driverless charge: 20 years after the automatic driving cars will be more expensive-Google, Google-IT information

In today's unmanned tide, Google's driverless technology is leading the way. But as everyone knows, Google's driverless technology behind a team of powerful coax their liberation efforts, struggle with human hands, and John Krafcik is their leader.

Recently, the Bloomberg reporter John Krafcik, the following is the interview:

(Referred to as the Bloomberg P,John Krafcik referred to as j)

P: you started in when the SUV Ford engineers, to modern when after United States President and CEO, I can tell you on the rare effort into the traditional driving. Now, why did you turn to unmanned?

J: for a lot of people of my generation, especially from people of my family (my father is a tool steel mold craftsmen), had a lot of fun. Driverless cars inherited from the traditional driving of mechanical structure, it also carries the smell of my youth, and it combines high technology, is the collision of age and age. So, it's a mood thing.

P: you in Google's driverless car projects, also found the same fun?

J: Google has a huge number of car geeks, our team is naturally. We have a strong interest in mechanical, but also allow machinery to join the high-tech features. When Ford and Hyundai, we can't convince myself that your car is able to keep consumers safe. At Google, we are sure that we can give consumers more secure.

P: from Tesla's case, what can we learn?

J: first of all, this is a tragedy, Joshua Brown gave his life. However, on that day, only United States there are more than 100 human deaths. Each year, the United States there are about 35,000 human deaths, has more than 1.2 million worldwide. This is a very significant problem, something worth thinking about.

Then, the Tesla Model s is not automatically drive a car, it is in the automatic driving of the second level, requires drivers to keep vigilant. Google's self-driving in fourth grade, the vehicle can be completely automatic. People are making the wrong animal, so we use the semiautomatic driving systems, easily relax too much faith in the system, causing the tragedy.

In 2012, Google has a similar Tesla Autopilot technology, when we were tested by Google employees, first training before the test, let them to remain vigilant. We want to know how their reaction to this technique. After a few months, they have said the technical problems, they are very easy to be distracted, eyes shifted from the road, looking down at the phone or texting.

This test allows us to reposition the Google driverless technology. Second grade semi-automatic driving skills course is good, but as they get better, drivers can also increase the risk. Therefore, we must be rescued from the trap drivers. Google's self-driving points directly to the fourth estate, you don't need to put your hands on the wheel, the system can handle it all. You just have to say I'm going to a destination, the car will take you there.

P: you think what role Government should play in the automatic driving development?

J： For the Government, provides the basic framework is very important so that people will believe this technology is safe, I believe that technology is moving in a good direction, but it is not an easy task for the Government. Recently, California decided to drive the fourth estate automatic driving of the driver of a vehicle to enact additional license, I think it is a good thing. In April, we proposed that the modifications of the Federal motor vehicle safety standards, let the self-driving car on the road.

P: recently, AlixPartners has done a survey, showed that 73% people want to have self-driving cars, nearly 90% people want to drive their hands thoroughly. Such mass intentions for automatic driving the popularity of what?

J: can clearly prove that do not hold the steering wheel if the car manufacturer is safe, that people will have a sense of liberation, choose to drive more and more people will be automatically, automatic driving will become increasingly rapid. Remember, you drive from Pacific Coast Highway to Carmel, beauty along the way. If you're honest, you will surely admit that you want to keep your hands off the steering wheel down and soothe frayed nerves and easily enjoy the view. In fact, driving most of the time, and we hope can drive themselves.

Driving automatic cars for the first time is a very cool and pleasant experience, first experience I find that everyone is a little nervous, but they adapt very quickly. Within 5 minutes, you will start to believe that car.

P: in this highly connected society, what do you think about people's privacy?

J: with increasingly more networked, more chance of people's privacy at risk. Now we are testing unmanned autonomous vehicles, for privacy or not so we didn't have a lot of data, but we are working on, automatic driving increasingly safe, people's privacy is not violated.

P: Google will build their own cars?

J: Google realized that want to build their own car very hard. We have created a small prototype, we understand the difficulty of building cars in the process. Now, auto-engineering company, Roush and Germany Conti automatic system is helping us to complete the task. Now, we already have more than 100 Fiat Chrysler's minivan fleet, to help us test the Google driverless technology.

P:20 years after, world traffic will be like?

J: I think the biggest change is the development of car-sharing mechanism. After 20 years, automatic driving cars will be more expensive. People are going to find a better way to use their property, car sharing is a way of achieving it. Now, the average utilization rate of the car 4%, 96% in the time they were in the parking lot. This car is a waste of space. In fact, it is a shame, especially for cities.

P: I heard of Alphabet to Google's driverless bets of $ 10 billion under the plan.

J: do you really? Some people would say? I don't know about this.

P： Sergey Brin has predicted that car ownership will disappear in the future?

J： I think the theory is that that $ 10 billion bet said.

对话Google无人驾驶负责人：20年后全自动驾驶汽车将更贵 - Google,谷歌 - IT资讯

在今天的无人驾驶大潮中，谷歌的无人驾驶技术可谓一路领先。但殊不知，谷歌的无人驾驶技术后面站着一支牛逼哄哄的团队，他们为解放人类的双手努力着、奋斗着，而John Krafcik就是他们的领导者。

近日，《彭博社》记者采访了John Krafcik，以下是采访内容：

（《彭博社》简称为P，John Krafcik简称为J）

P：你最开始在福特当SUV工程师，后去现代当美国地区CEO和主席，可以说你将半生的心血都投到了传统驾驶上。现在，你为什么转向无人驾驶？

J：对于很多我这一代的人来说，特别是来自我这样的家庭的人（我的父亲是一位工具钢模匠人），机械有着无穷的乐趣。而无人驾驶汽车继承了传统驾驶汽车的机械结构，它也带有我青年时代的味道，同时它也结合了高科技，是时代与时代的碰撞。因此，它是一个有情怀的东西。

P：你在谷歌的无人驾驶汽车项目中也发现了相同的乐趣吗？

J：谷歌有着数量庞大的汽车极客，我们团队自然也是。我们对机械有着强烈的兴趣，同时也能让机械设备加入高科技功能。在福特和现代的时候，我们不能说服自己自己设计的车能够让消费者安全。但在谷歌，我们很确定我们的车能让消费者更加安全。

P：从特斯拉命案中，我们能学到什么？

J：首先，这是一个悲剧，Joshua Brown献出了他的生命。然而，在那一天，单单美国就有100多人因车祸死亡。每年，美国约有3.5万人因车祸死亡，全球已超过120万。这是一个非常重大的问题，值得我们深思。

然后，特斯拉Model S并不是自动驾驶汽车，它处于自动驾驶的第二等级，需要司机时刻保持警惕。而谷歌的自动驾驶处于第四等级，车辆可以实现完全自动驾驶。人都是会犯错的动物，因此我们在使用半自动驾驶系统时，很容易太过相信系统而放松警惕，从而导致悲剧。

2012年，谷歌也有类似特斯拉Autopilot的技术，当时我们让谷歌员工进行测试，测试之前首先对他们进行培训，让他们时刻保持警惕。我们想知道他们对此技术的反应是怎样的。数月之后，他们纷纷表示此技术存在问题，他们很容易分神，将视线从路面上转移，低头看手机或是发短信。

这个测试让我们重新定位了谷歌的无人驾驶技术。第二等级的半自动驾驶技术诚然不错，但随着它们越变越好，司机使用的风险也会增加。因此，我们必须把司机从这个陷阱中解救出来。谷歌的自动驾驶直接指向第四等级，你不需要把手放在方向盘上，系统能够搞定一切。你只需说我要去某个目的地，车就会带你去那里。

P：你认为政府应在自动驾驶发展中扮演何种角色？

J：对政府来说，提供基本的框架是非常重要的，这样人们才会相信此项技术是安全的，相信技术在朝着一个良好的方向发展，但这对政府来说并不是一件易事。最近，加州政府决定为驾驶第四等级的自动驾驶车辆的司机颁布额外的驾照，我认为这是一件好事。四月份，我们曾建议修改《联邦机动车安全标准》，让自动驾驶车上路。

P：最近，AlixPartners做了一项调查，表明73%的人们想拥有自动驾驶汽车，将近90%的人们想要自动驾驶彻底解放他们的双手。大众的此种意向对于自动驾驶的普及来说有何帮助？

J：如果汽车制造商能够清楚地证明不用握住方向盘也是安全的，那人们肯定会有种解放的感觉，选择自动驾驶汽车的人将会越来越多，自动驾驶也会发展得越来越飞速。回忆一下，你开着车从太平洋海岸公路到卡梅尔的过程，沿途一路美景。如果你足够诚实的话，你肯定会承认这时你非常想把手从方向盘上放下来，把紧绷的神经舒缓下来，轻松地欣赏美景。其实，在开车的大多数时间里，我们都是希望车能自动驾驶的。

第一次驾驶自动驾驶汽车是一次非常新奇惬意的经历，我发现大家第一次体验时都有些紧张，但他们适应得非常之快。5分钟之内，大家就会开始相信汽车。

P：在这个高度连接的社会，你怎么看待人们的隐私？

J：随着网络化程度越来越高，人们隐私受威胁的几率也就越来越高。现在我们正在测试载人的自动驾驶汽车，因此我们对于隐私泄露与否并没有太多的数据信息，不过我们正在努力，让自动驾驶越来越安全，让大家的隐私不受侵害。

P：谷歌会打造自己的车吗？

J：谷歌意识到要打造自己的车非常之难。我们已经打造了一款小型的原型车，这次过程中我们明白打造汽车的难度。现在，自动工程公司Roush和德国自动系统Conti正在帮助我们完成任务。现在，我们已经有了超过100辆菲亚特克莱斯特的小型货车车队，来帮助我们测试谷歌无人驾驶技术。

P：20年后，世界交通将会变成什么样？

J：我认为最大的改变就是汽车共享机制的发展。20年后，全自动驾驶汽车将会更贵。人们将会找到更好的方式来使用他们的财产，汽车共享就是一种实现方式。现在，汽车的平均使用率只有4%，96%的时间它们都停在停车场中。这对于汽车，对于空间都是一种浪费。其实，这是一种耻辱，尤其是对城市来说。

P：我听说Alphabet为谷歌的无人驾驶计划下了100亿美元的赌注。

J：真的吗？有人这样说？我还不知道这个。

P：Sergey Brin已经预测到将来汽车所有权将会消失？

J：我觉得这个理论是那个说100亿美元赌注的人说的。
