纽约时报中文网 - 中英对照版-中英特斯拉在中国召回160万辆车修复自动驾驶系统

The Chinese government announced on Friday that Tesla would recall practically all of the cars it has sold in the country to adjust their assisted-driving systems, less than a month after a similar recall in the United States.

中国上政府周五宣布，特斯拉将召回其在中国销售的几乎所有汽车，以增加额外的驾驶辅助功能。此前不到一个月，特斯拉也在美国进行了一次类似的召回。

To address the problems, Tesla will transmit updated computer software to its 1.6 million cars in China, the State Administration for Market Regulation said.

国家市场监督管理总局说，特斯拉将为已在中国销售的160万辆汽车远程升级计算机软件，已解决现有问题。

The updated software involves “adding additional automatic assisted steering control,” the regulator said. It also said that Tesla would remind customers to pay attention to their driving and follow all regulations even if they use the so-called Autopilot capabilities.

该监管机构表示，升级软件涉及“增加额外的自动辅助转向控制”，还说特斯拉将提醒“驾驶员在启用该功能时，履行驾驶职责并遵守驾驶规定”。

Three weeks ago the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in Washington ordered a recall to make sure that drivers will remain attentive while using Autopilot.

三周前，美国国家公路交通安全管理局为确保驾驶员在使用自动驾驶功能时保持注意力集中，曾下了召回令。

While Tesla’s autopilot system is designed for highway use, American regulators have been increasingly concerned that many drivers are using it on local roads, and are failing to keep their hands on the steering wheel.

尽管特斯拉的自动驾驶系统是为在高速公路上开车时设计的，但美国的监管者们越来越担心许多驾驶员在普通道路上使用该系统，转弯时不把手放在方向盘上。

China’s regulator has in the past insisted that companies conduct the same recalls in China that they announce in other markets.

中国的监管机构过去一直坚持要求企业在其他市场上宣布召回时，在中国进行相同的召回。

Tesla did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

特斯拉没有立即回复记者的置评请求。

The recall marks a setback for Tesla as China has emerged as the world’s largest and fastest-growing market for electric cars. More than a third of the cars sold last year in China were either battery-powered electric cars or plug-in hybrid gasoline-electric cars, up from only 5 percent three years earlier.

此次召回对特斯拉来说是个挫折，因为中国已成为全球最大、增长最快的电动汽车市场。中国去年销售的汽车中有超过三分之一是电池驱动的电动汽车，或插电式汽油电动混合动力汽车，而三年前的这个比例仅为5%。

Tesla has shown itself as the only Western automaker that can compete with Chinese manufacturers in the global electric car sector.

特斯拉已成为全球电动汽车行业唯一能与中国制造商竞争的西方汽车制造商。

Chinese electric car companies are rapidly increasing their share of the European market, prompting the European Union to begin investigating alleged Chinese government subsidies. General Motors and Ford in the United States have retrenched their ambitions in electric cars. And in China, longtime multinational leaders like Volkswagen have lost many of their customers to Chinese companies like BYD, Zhejiang Geely, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, Nio and Xiaopeng.

中国电动汽车公司正在迅速增加它们在欧洲市场的份额，促使欧盟开始调查所谓的中国政府补贴问题。美国的通用汽车和福特已经缩减了在电动汽车领域的雄心。曾在中国市场长期占有主导份额的大众汽车等跨国企业的许多客户已被比亚迪、浙江吉利、上海汽车工业集团公司、蔚来汽车和小鹏汽车等中国公司抢走。

The mandatory software update ordered on Friday covers Model 3 and Model Y cars manufactured at Tesla’s vast factory in Shanghai as well as imported Model S, Model X and Model 3 cars.

中国政府上周五要求进行软件升级的汽车包括特斯拉在上海的大型工厂生产的Model 3和Model Y汽车，以及进口的Model S、Model X和Model 3汽车。

The Chinese regulator separately announced on Friday that Tesla would transmit updated computer software to 7,538 imported Model S and Model X electric cars to fix a programming difficulty that could cause door latches to unlock on the far side of the car from a collision.

中国监管机构上周五还宣布，特斯拉将为7538辆进口的Model S和Model X电动汽车进行远程软件升级，以解决一个软件问题，该问题导致撞车时远侧车门的锁闩与锁扣脱离。

For the door latch problem as well as the assisted-driving function, Tesla will offer free assistance to update the programming for any customers who find that their remote downloads are not working properly.

为解决车门锁和辅助驾驶功能的问题，特斯拉还将为不能远程下载软件的客户提供免费的软件升级协助。
