Unit 3　Life in the future 英语 主题语境·导入 坐无人驾驶电动车逛公园、在智能跑道上刷脸跑步……经过改造后,北京海淀公园变身国内首个“人工智能”主题公园。 Baidu empowers Beijing park with AI technologies A smart park opened Thursday in Beijing,featuring artificial intelligence (AI) applications from Chinese search engine giant Baidu as the company ratchets up(逐步增加) efforts in applying AI technologies to make life and work easier and more entertaining. Located in northwest Beijing’s Haidian District,the park has autonomous buses,smart walkways tracking people’s steps using facial recognition, intelligent pavilions equipped with the company’s conversational system DuerOS, and augmented reality Tai Chi lessons. 英语 The opening of the smart park came with Baidu’s latest plan,announced Thursday at the Baidu World technology conference,to build smart cities.

Beijing and Shanghai will be the program’s first pilot cities, focusing on improving urban management and upgrading industries with state-of-the-art(体现最高水平的) technologies respectively,according to Baidu’s chairman and CEO Robin Li. “The real solution to traffic congestion will come from AI,not Internet technologies,”Li said.“AI-based traffic management is more sensitive and timely, and can reduce congestion time by 30 percent to 40 percent,more than double that of traditional methods.” Baidu also unveiled a partnership with domestic automobile maker Hongqi to develop a near-full autonomous vehicle and achieve mass production in two years. The company’s first fully autonomous Apolong minibuses,rolled out earlier this year,is now running in over 10 locations. 英语 短文注释 1.autonomous adj.自主的 2.pavilion n.亭,凉亭 3.congestion n.阻塞,拥挤 4.unveil v.揭开,显露,发布,推出 5.domestic adj. 国内的 6.A smart park opened Thursday in Beijing,featuring artificial intelligence (AI) applications from Chinese search engine giant Baidu as the company ratchets up(逐步增加) efforts in applying A
