公司还表示,送货卡车也会发生巨大的变化,公司甚至已给它们起了"科迪"的名字.

'As we look ahead, we see self-driving delivery trucks— we call them 21st-Century mules— delivering everything from your new jeans to a hot lunch, almost instantly,' they says.

他们称："当我们展望未来的时候,从你的新牛仔裤到热气腾腾的饭菜,我们看到自驾驶送货卡车（我们称其为21世纪搬运工）把你需要的每一样东西迅速送达指定地点.

'After receiving notification that 'Cody' has arrived, you'll simply walk to the curb, do a biometric scan, and receive your package. No tips required.'

收到"科迪"到达的通知后,你只要走到路边,进行生物是比诶扫描,并接收你的包裹即可,无需特殊技巧.

The tubular transparent trucks would come on demand, so if you need a dress or lunch delivered, you could get it almost instantly.

"这种管状透明卡车会随叫随到,因此如果你需要一件衣服或午餐,你几乎可以立刻获得想要的东西.

A robot in the back would sort and resort packages as the route changes throughout the day. The truck would serve as a drop-off spot for packages when it's parked.

一天里随着路线的变化,车后方的一个遥控设备会分拣并重新给货物排序.该车停好后,还可以把它当做一个卸货点.

By optimizing routes and delivering during off-peak hours, the trucks could reduce traffic and help save over $100 billion in gas costs in the U.S, the firm says.

Self-driving cars, which are coming in the next few years, will be common in a decade or two, it says.

'As we move from struggling with today's inefficient relationship between cars and infrastructure to one empowered by automobility, new capacities and better use of our existing resources will emerge.

"目前我们还苦苦挣扎在汽车和基础设施之间的低效率关系中,随着我们从这种局面向汽车自动化转变,新能力和更好地利用我们现有资源的方法将会出现.

'Daily commutes will improve in ways that allow us to accomplish so much more, making the slow seem fast.

这么做也将改善我们的日常通勤情况,提高我们的工作效率."
