　　“Any car with built-in Wi-fi technically has the ability to update its software,” said Brauer. “Forinstance, GM cars equipped with OnStar have been able to remote start cars or make wirelessupgrades for some time.”

　　布劳尔说：“任何拥有内置无线网络的汽车，从技术上讲都能够升级其软件。比如，装有安吉星(OnStar)的通用汽车(GM)都具有远程启动功能，该软件有些时候也会进行无线升级。”

　　Still the Tesla’s practice of wirelessly upgrading the car’s software to not only fix bugs, but alsoroll out new features that improve performance and customize the driving experience,illustrates a shift within the auto industry.

　　但是，特斯拉汽车软件的无线升级不仅是为了修复漏洞，还会借此推出新的特色以增强汽车性能、为客户量身营造驾驶体验，这体现了汽车业内的一种转变。

　　“The importance of software upgrades and maintaining a communication link between the carand the automaker will increase and become more pivotal moving forward,” said John Gartner,research director with Navigant Research.

　　Navigant Research公司研究总监约翰o高德纳表示：“保持软件升级，维持汽车和汽车制造商之间通讯链的重要性会日益增加，并将成为推动汽车业继续发展的关键因素。”

　　All vehicles are moving in that direction, but electric vehicle manufacturers are particularlyaggressive on that front, added Gartner.

　　高德纳补充道，所有的汽车都将朝这个趋势发展，但电动汽车制造商在这点上尤其干劲十足。

　　Electric vehicles, which rely on software and computing power, use wireless upgrades tointroduce new features and stay ahead of the competition.

　　电动汽车依靠软件和计算能力驱动，它们可以通过无线升级推出新的特色功能，在竞争中保持领先。

　　In some cases, it’s been used to facilitate—and speed up—a recall.

　　有时候，这也会用于帮助和加速召回工作。

　　In January, after voluntarily recalling 29,222 Model S vehicles, Tesla used a wireless softwareupdate to enable the car’s on-board charging system to detect any unexpected fluctuations inthe input power or higher resistance connections to the vehicle.

　　今年1月，在主动召回29,222辆Model S汽车后，特斯拉升级了无线软件，让汽车的车载充电系统能够检测输入电源中任何非正常的电压波动或电阻升高。

　　The software upgrade aimed to address concerns that the adapter, cord or wall outlet couldoverheat while charging. But unlike other official voluntary recalls, Tesla owners didn’t have tobring their cars to a dealership for a fix.

　　软件升级的目的是解决用户对电源适配器、电线和墙面电源在充电时过热的担忧。不过与其他官方的主动召回不同，特斯拉的车主不需要把汽车送到代理商那里维修。
