Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming hazards, scientists claim.
科学家称，轿车很快就能够终究靠5G网络彼此“对话”，让司机意识到前方的风险。
The ultra-fast mobile internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.
超高速的移动互联网将使信息能够快速传输，并让司机意识到前方的黑冰、坑洞或其他风险。
Several car manufacturers are already integrating 5G into their vehicles, including as a tool to help usher in the generation of self-driving vehicles.
几家轿车制造商现已将5G网络技能融入轿车出产，包含以此来协助引领无人驾驭轿车年代的到来。
Experts at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today.
格拉斯哥喀里多尼亚大学的专家以为，高速互联网还将进步自动化车辆的牢靠性和功能，使其比现在运用的手动驾驭轿车更安全。
They predict the number of road traffic accidents - which according to the World Health Organisation account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year - will drop drastically as a result.
他们猜测，路途交通事故的数量将因而大幅下降。据世界卫生组织计算，全球每年因路途交通事故逝世的人数超越130万，受伤人数高达5000万。
Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said: 'To have a better idea of what the future will look like, think of having Tesla-like cars that not only use sensors to scan what's around them, they can also talk to each other and exchange safety-related information about their surroundings over an area that covers several square miles.
研讨小组的迪米特里奥斯·利奥卡皮斯博士说：“为了更好地了解未来会是什么姿态，想想你有特斯拉那样的车，它不只运用传感器来扫描周围，车辆之间还能够彼此沟通，而且交流邻近几平方英里内的安全信息。”
'I'm sure anyone who has had a bad experience on frozen roads would have benefited from knowing about the dangerous conditions in advance so they could have adjusted their speed or, if possible, even avoided that route altogether. The same could be said of potholes.
“我信任任何在冰冻路途上有过糟糕阅历的人都会从提早了解风险状况中获益，这样他们就能够调整车速，假如或许的话，乃至彻底避开这条路途。路遇坑洞也是如此。”
'With the help of 5G, a vehicle-generated early warning system that alerts drivers is feasible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will transmit warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably.
“在5G网络的协助下，未来几年内，能够向司机宣布警报的车辆生成预警体系将会呈现。间隔风险区域足够近的轿车将运用短程通讯技能向周围的其他轿车发送正告信息，一起运用5G网络向更远的轿车发送正告信息，快速且牢靠。”
'Then those cars will send the same information to cars near them and so on, forming a joined-up, multi-vehicle communication chain that stretches far and wide.
“然后这些车将相同的信息发送给邻近的车，以此类推，构成一个连成一体的多车通讯链，延伸到很远很远的当地。”
'5G is an exciting mobile technology, which will give a massive boost to smart cities and autonomous vehicles among many other things.'
“5G网络是一项激动人心的移动技能，它将极大地推进智能城市和无人驾驭轿车等范畴的开展。”
Automotive giant Ford is already working on connected cars.
轿车巨子福特公司渐渐的开端研制联网轿车。
Earlier this year it revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about upcoming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams.
本年早些时候，该公司泄漏，计划在本年出产的80%的轿车中装备一种技能，用于提示司机留意前方的交通事故、恶劣气候和交通堵塞。
The system pools data from other connected road users, emergency services and the authorities and beams it from the cloud directly to the car.
该体系将来自其他联网路途用户、应急服务机构和管理部门的数据会聚在一起，并将数据从云端直接传输到轿车上。
alerts pop up on the car's dashboard display warning the driver about what lies around the corner.
轿车外表盘上弹出的警报将提示司机前方的风险。
