Elon, hey, welcome back to TED.
伊隆,歡迎再次參加 TED。
an exciting future might look like,
the first question a little ironic:
「無聊」The BORING Company )
地底下挖個大窟窿,
be a 3D network of tunnels
soul-destroying things is traffic.
in every part of the world.
that's been shown of this.
So this is the first time --
that are important
and exit of the tunnel
that's on an elevator,
and exits to the tunnel network
to operate at 200 kilometers an hour.
or about 130 miles per hour.
to get from, say, Westwood to LAX
of toll road-type basis.
alleviates some traffic
if people noticed it in the video,
有沒有在影片中注意到
to how many levels of tunnel you can have.
than you can go up.
遠多於往上蓋的高度。
than the tallest buildings are tall,
level of urban congestion
is that if you add one layer of tunnels,
it will get used up,
back with congestion.
arbitrary number of tunnels,
it's incredibly expensive to dig,
挖地道非常耗錢,
the LA subway extension,
a two-and-a-half mile extension
for two billion dollars.
to do the subway extension in LA.
大約每英里十億美元。
utility subway in the world.
to dig tunnels normally.
at least a tenfold improvement
an order of magnitude improvement,
(註:十分之一的花費)
is to cut the tunnel diameter
according to regulations
maybe 28 feet in diameter
and emergency vehicles
for combustion engine cars.
to what we're attempting,
我們在嘗試12 英尺──
to get an electric skate through,
by a factor of four,
with the cross-sectional area.
of magnitude improvement right there.
挖到一半時會停下來,
for half the time, then they stop,
is putting in reinforcements
tunneling and reinforcing,
a factor of two improvement.
at their power or thermal limits,
最大效能和熱極限,
to the machine substantially.
at least a factor of two,
improvement on top of that.
straightforward series of steps
相當直接簡潔的步驟,
of an order of magnitude improvement
from "South Park,"
of going 14 times faster
在幻想未來城市的時候,
dreaming about future cities,
the solution is flying cars, drones, etc.
是飛行汽車,無人機等等,
so I like things that fly.
顯然我喜歡會飛的玩意兒。
against flying things,
will be very high.
flying over your head,
going all over the place,
"Well, I feel better about today."
"Did they service their hubcap,
and guillotine me?"
3D networks of tunnels underneath.
立體地下網路隧道。
to use for this Hyperloop idea
sort of puttering around
adjacent to SpaceX,
超迴路列車測試賽道,
ideas in transport.
the biggest vacuum chamber in the world
but it was kind of a hobby thing,
to push the student pods,
來推動學生的競賽車廂,
how fast we can make the pusher go
最快的子彈列車還要快,
than the world's fastest bullet train
into tiny pieces or go quite fast.
超迴路列車行駛在隧道中,
then, a Hyperloop in a tunnel
in order to make a tunnel,
a tunnel wall to be good
that automatically,
to resist the water table,
capable of holding vacuum.
is in Elon's future to running Hyperloop?
to go underground the entire way
a lot of buildings and houses,
well, it's going to be pretty annoying
tunnel diameters beneath your house,
to detect it being dug at all.
to detect the tunnel being dug,
for that device from the Israeli military,
從以色列軍方撈上一筆,
tunnels from Hamas,
偵察出哈馬斯的隧道,
that try and detect drug tunnels.
他們一直嘗試偵測地下販毒。
at absorbing vibrations,
is below a certain level,
seismic instrument,
a new company to do this
hobby looks like.
and people doing it part time.
but it's making good progress, so --
cars and transport through Tesla.
for the tunneling project
and where they're self-driving,
有了電動車和自駕車,
more cars on the roads
that when you make cars autonomous,
and that will alleviate congestion.
where it's much cheaper to go by car
will be better than that of a bus.
will be much greater with shared autonomy,
with the goal of persuading the world
was the future of cars,
people were laughing at you.
every auto manufacturer
serious electrification plans
has some electric vehicle program.
都有些電動車計劃,
about transitioning entirely to electric,
are still pursuing fuel cells,
有些還在追逐燃料電池,
and say, you know, "We did it."
「我們做到了。」
and you go on and focus on other stuff?
接著你繼續關注別的東西?
as far into the future as I can imagine,
我打算留在特斯拉,
things that we have coming.
to be coming in July-ish.
for starting production in July.
that people are so excited about
would look like.
in Model S right now.

it's not solved.
so heavily on having a vision neural net
特別關注視覺神經網路,
are going the LIDAR route.

ten times better than humans would,
have eight cameras in them.
for being able to go cross-country

完全自動駕駛。
of the year, you're saying,
without touching the steering wheel,
by the end of 2017.
November or December of this year,
from a parking lot in California
during the entire journey.
of Teslas driving all these roads.
特斯拉車隊行駛在路上,
of data of that national road system.
that will be interesting
it will be able to do that route
at one specific route, that's one thing,
really be very good,
to LA to New York.
and make it Seattle-Florida,
從西雅圖到佛羅里達,
regulation for a second,
will be able to buy one of your cars
off the wheel and go to sleep
放心大膽去睡覺,
is not how do you make it work
one in a thousand times,
to be comfortable falling asleep.
or a thousand lifetimes,
if I were to live a thousand lives,
never experience a crash,
is that people may actually
而認為這是安全的,
to think that this is safe,
incident happen that puts things back.
is likely to at least mitigate the crash,
至少能減輕事故的發生,
about vehicle safety
a human driver gets in a car,
that is their fault.
need to be than a person
literally safe hands-off driving,
the whole industry seems massive,
力量會很巨大,
of people being able to buy a car,
能買輛車載你去上班,
and then you let it go
接送其他的人,

of your lease of that car,
this is what will happen.
to use that car exclusively,
only by friends and family,
who are rated five star,
but not other times.
to announce this in September,
anything you could show us today?
你打算讓我們看看嗎?
a teaser shot of the truck.
where we want to be cautious
自駕功能要謹慎的例子。
just a little friendly neighborhood truck.
long-range semitruck.
the heavy-duty trucking loads.
people do not today think is possible.
power or it doesn't have enough range,
跑不了太遠;
顯示給他們看,
will tug the diesel semi uphill.
And short term, these aren't driverless.
還不是無人駕駛。
that truck drivers want to drive.
really fun about this
with an electric motor,
平滑的扭矩/轉速曲線,
of internal combustion engine car,
that looks like a hill.
around like a sports car.
It's, like, single speed.
to be made here somewhere.
可以拍成好影片,
and I don't know that it ends well,
for the first truck.
because you're driving around
而你又覺得它那麽輕巧靈敏。
and you're in this giant truck.
already driven a prototype?
around the parking lot,
指先公布,但可能不會發佈的產品。)
driving this giant truck
OK, from a really badass picture
不太壞的壞蛋照片,
from "Desperate Housewives" or something.
the picture of the future
in the driveway.
the electric car and the house,
stacked up against the side of the house,
well, admittedly, it's a real fake house.
basically solar power, the ability to --
the texture and the color
sort of microlouvers in the glass,
at the roof from street level
behind it or not.
from a helicopter,
to look through and see
a solar cell behind them and some do not.
that are likely to see a lot of sun,
super affordable, right?
它其實也沒那麽貴。
than just tiling the roof.
that the cost of the roof
than the cost of a normal roof
the warranty be infinity,
like were just talking rubbish,
in a couple week's time, I think,
with two, two initially,
will be introduced early next year.
could end up having this type of roofing?
最終都會有太陽能屋頂。
the time scale here
is replaced every 20 to 25 years.
all roofs immediately.
if you say were to fast-forward
that does not have solar.
that people don't get here
the economics of solar power,
和太陽能的效益?
enough sunlight on their roof
power all their needs.
relative to the roof area,
have enough roof area
of lithium-ion batteries,
the core competency.
the world's largest manufacturing plant
of lithium-ion batteries,
a diamond shape overall,
it'll look like a giant diamond,
(註:一億「度」)
of batteries a year.
We think probably more, but yeah.
可能會更多,不過差不多。
being produced right now.
安:來放一下這片子。
CA: You guys put out this video.
without a strobe light.
你實際上看不到這些電池。
about what makes an exciting future
與讓人興奮的未來有關,
feel guilty about energy.
而感到愧疚的未來。
does it take to get us there?
將會需要些什麼。
off this vast fossil fuel thing.
that you can picture that project.
announce another two this year.
至少兩個特斯拉的新厰址。
and four Gigafactories later this year.
about politics, only one.
but I do want to ask you this.
giving advice to a guy --
可以建議他──
really believe in climate change,
who think you shouldn't be doing that.
of going around the room
every month or two.
that there are people in the room
of doing something about climate change,
and in favor of climate change.
but at least the words were said.
但至少我把話說了。
a kind of incredibly ambitious dream
極不可思議的雄心計劃,
that were actually reusable.
What are we looking at here?
very high and fast in space.
at sort of Mach 7 or so,
the sped-up version.
你終於知道怎麽做了。
figured out how to do it,
what, five or six times?
one of the rockets that landed.
and flew it again,
of an orbital booster
that reusability is only relevant
快速和完整的情況下才算數。
快速而完整。
to Boeing in-between flights.
把飛機送回波音工廠。
to dream of this really ambitious idea
this outrageous rocket to do it.
這不尋常的火箭來實現。
the scale of this thing.
you can see that's a person.
a 40-story skyscraper?
the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket.
rocket humanity ever created before.
最大火箭的四倍?
EM: Yeah.
馬:沒錯。
a quarter of a million pounds of thrust,
of 120 747s, with all engines blazing.
120 架的 747,
designed to escape Earth's gravity,
地球重力的這台機器──
take a fully loaded 747,
a fully loaded 747 with maximum fuel,
一架加滿油的 747 飛機,
maximum cargo on the 747 --
this Interplanetary Transport System
30 years time? 20 years time?
30 年後? 20 年後?
an eight- to 10-year time frame.
are more aggressive, but I think --
不過我覺得……
with other rockets,
will be truly enormous.
on it in your lifetime,
要送上百萬人去火星?
what you've said you'd love to do?
鼓舞人心的未來。
and you want to live.
being out there among the stars
that we're going to have.
as an either or,
happening on the planet now
to, you know, you pick your issue.
a fair old bit to actually do that
永續能源方面已做了些。
from the standpoint of probabilities.
stream of probabilities,
that affect those probabilities
會影響這些概率,
or slow down another thing.
to the probability stream.
will happen no matter what.
if Tesla never existed,
如果特斯拉不存在,
it means you have unsustainable energy.
也就是你的能源不永續,
will drive civilization
of a company like Tesla
the advent of sustainable energy,
of a company like Tesla,
基本價值是什麼時,
potentially more than a decade,
aspirational good of Tesla.
species and space-faring civilization.
和有能力探索太空文明,
this is not inevitable.
基本上是不可避免的,
I think is largely inevitable,
is definitely not inevitable.
to send somebody to the moon.
take people to low Earth orbit.
could take no one to orbit.
just automatically improves.
work very hard to make it better,
by itself degrade, actually.
like Ancient Egypt,
they built these incredible aqueducts.
令人難以置信的水渠;
listening to you
things you've done,
double motivation on everything
for humanity's long-term good.
to do something exciting.
做一些令人興奮的事情。
like you need the one to drive the other.
to have sustainable energy,
exciting cars to do it.
來實現你的目標。
about your newest thing,
人工智慧中解救出來。
this really cool brain-machine interface
心靈感應等等。
and telepathy and so forth.
like what you're saying is,
of beauty and inspiration
to happen inevitably.
you dream this stuff,
would dare dream,
would be capable of dreaming
is a really remarkable thing.
你那麼做實在了不起。
to dream a bit bigger.
starts getting genuinely insane, right?
你會告訴我,對吧?
That was really, really fantastic.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Elon Musk - Serial entrepreneurElon Musk is the CEO and product architect of Tesla Motors and the CEO/CTO of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX).
Why you should listen
At SpaceX, Musk oversees the development of rockets and spacecraft for missions to Earth orbit and ultimately to other planets. In 2008, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft won the NASA contract to provide cargo transport to space. In 2012, SpaceX became the first commercial company to dock with the International Space Station and return cargo to Earth with the Dragon.
At Tesla, Musk has overseen product development and design from the beginning, including the all-electric Tesla Roadster, Model S and Model X, and the rollout of Supercharger stations to keep the cars juiced up. (Some of the charging stations use solar energy systems from SolarCity, of which Musk is the non-executive chair.) Transitioning to a sustainable energy economy, in which electric vehicles play a pivotal role, has been one of his central interests for almost two decades. He co-founded PayPal and served as the company's chair and CEO.
