The current smart cars are not really smart cars, they are only in their infancy, and a few of them will be flying in the sky after 2024, and by 2030 they will take over the sky on a larger scale, $XPeng(XPEV.US)$ Motors Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said today.
現在的智能汽車並不是真正的智能汽車，它們還處於初級階段，2024年之後，它們中的一小部分將在天空中飛行，到2030年，它們將在更大範圍內佔據天空，$小鵬汽車-W(XPEV.US)$汽車董事長兼首席執行官何曉鵬今天表示。
He made these remarks in a speech at the 2021 China Analyst Conference organized by Chinese news portal Sina.
他是在中國新聞門户網站新浪組織的2021年中國分析師大會上發表講話時説這番話的。
Today's cars were invented more than 100 years ago, and no new car company has yet been able to change the landscape on a deep level, he said, adding that the industry must work together to explore the changes in the future of transportation.
他説，今天的汽車是100多年前發明的，還沒有一家新的汽車公司能夠從深層次上改變格局，並補充説，該行業必須共同努力，探索未來交通運輸的變化。
XPeng will begin exploring the Robotaxi business in the second half of 2022, and the actual operation of such a business for the industry could take years, but the company is confident in its exploration, he said.
小鵬汽車-W將於2022年下半年開始探索機器人出租車業務，該行業此類業務的實際運營可能需要數年時間，但他表示，該公司對其探索充滿信心。
XPeng said in a conference call last week following the release of its third-quarter earnings that its Robotaxi business will first be piloted in Guangzhou and will start with XPilot 3.5 and gradually transition to XPilot 4.0.
小鵬汽車-W在上週發佈第三季度財報後的電話會議上表示，其機器人出租車業務將首先在廣州試點，並將從XPilot3.5開始，逐步過渡到XPilot4.0。
XPeng's strategic goal is to improve the robustness and safety of its autonomous driving algorithms in the short term through the operation of generalized scenarios, He said at the time in a conference call.
小鵬汽車-W當時在一次電話會議上表示，他的戰略目標是通過通用場景的操作，在短期內提高其自動駕駛算法的健壯性和安全性。
Back to flying cars, on July 16, He unveiled the X2, built by its urban air mobility (UAM) company HT Aero, saying "this marks another step closer to a more widely used and safe flying car."
回到飛行汽車方面，7月16日，他揭開了X2的面紗，X2由其城市空中機動性(UAM)公司HT Aero製造，他説：“這標誌着朝着更廣泛使用和更安全的飛行汽車又邁進了一步。”
XPeng presented the X2 at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 29 and said the flying car was then being tested in extreme environments in high-altitude areas such as Xining and Yushu in Qinghai.
小鵬汽車-W在8月29日的成都車展上展示了X2，並表示這款飛車隨後正在青海西寧、玉樹等高海拔地區的極端環境中進行測試。

As the X2's successor, HT Aero's sixth-generation product is expected to have the skills to drive on public roads and also fly in the air.
作為X2的繼任者，HT Aero的第六代產品預計將具備在公共道路上駕駛和在空中飛行的技能。
The company said it is currently ramping up the development of the product, which is expected to be officially released in 2024, HT Aero said.
