Every Dog Has His Say

Kimiko Fukuda always wondered what her dog was trying to say.Whenever she put on
makeup,it would pull at her sleeve._____(1)When the dog barks,she glances
at a small electronic gadget（装置）.The following "human" translation appears on its
screen:"Please take me with you.""I realized that's how he was feeling,"says Fukuda.
The gadget is called Bowlingual,and it translates dog barks into feelings.People
laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world's first dog-human
translation machine in 2002.But 300, 000 Japanese dog owners bought it._____(2)
"Nobody else had thought about it,"said Masahiko Kajita,who works for Takara."We
spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders;what would it be like if we could
understand dogs?"
Bowlingual has two parts._____(3)The translation is done in the gadget
using a database containing every kind of bark.
Based on animal behaviour research,these noises are divided into six categories:
happiness,sadness,frustration,anger,declaration and desire._____(4)In
this way,the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion,which is then translated
into one of 200 phrases.
When a visitor went to Fukuda's house recently,the dog barked a loud"bow wow".
_____(5)It was followed by"I'm stronger than you"as the dog growled and
sniffed（嗅）at the visitor.
The product will be available in U.S. pet stores this summer for about U.S.$120.It
can store up to 1 00 barks,even recording the dog's emotions when the owner is away.

_________（4）
A:.A wireless microphone is attached to the dog's collar,which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.
B:.Nobody really knows how a dog feels.
C:.This translated as"Don't come this way".
D:.More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer.
E:.Now,the Japanese girl thinks she knows.
F:Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like"Let's play","Look at me", or"Spend more time with me".

资料：Google and Uber have grabbed most of the attention regarding the advent of self-driving cars, but on Sunday, Lyft threw down the ultimate challenge: A majority of autonomous vehicles for Lyft within a mere five years.
　　 The bold claim was made by Lyft co-founder John Zimmer in a post on Medium outlining his company's vision for the next decade.
　　"Within five years a fully autonomous fleet of cars will provide the majority of Lyft rides across the country," said Zimmer, indicating that early versions of such cars have been in operation in San Francisco and Phoenix.
　　Usually when tech founders lay out their vision, it’s typical to hear grand claims that almost push the boundaries of believability. That's what tech innovation is about. But in the case of self-driving cars, the situation is a bit more complicated.
　　Uber has already begun rolling out self-driving car tests in Pittsburgh and Google is hard at work on the same kind of solution on the West Coast. Therefore, talk of getting self-driving cars on the road is, at this point, less about the technology and more about logistics. We know Google has enough cash to triple down on any initiative it decides to tackle. And as the current ride-sharing leader in the U.S., Uber has enough market share-powered credibility that a future including self-driving Uber cars isn't unrealistic.
　　Today there are some internet-based ride sharing system but to overcome the critical mass the system has to be real-time, automated and extremely easy to use.
　　However in the case of Lyft, which continues to struggle against Uber (one report claims that Uber has over 80 percent market share in the U.S.), such a short timeline toward rolling out a fleet of self-driving cars seems somewhat ambitious. Nevertheless, Zimmer continues his vision essay with even more bold predictions.
　　"By 2025, private car ownership will all but end in major U.S. cities," says Zimmer, a prediction that, if it turns out to be true, would mean it would take just eight years for the majority of the human-driven cars on U.S. roads to disappear. Possible? Sure. Likely? Eight years seems like, once again, a bit of wishful thinking on Zimmer's part.
　　Remember, it hasn't even been 10 years since the arrival of the iPhone, and as recent events prove, smartphones are still a category that can yield catastrophic results if not done right. And those are just mobile devices, not vehicles entrusted with transporting and protecting human lives.
　　To be fair, Zimmer's essay does offer some facts and figures in an attempt to back up his positions, but much of it doesn't appear to take into account variables such as the heavily embedded interests of automobile companies still relying on consumer auto sales, as well as the many legal and roadway logistics that will need to be addressed in order to bring about this massive transformation in such a short time.
　　Oddly, Zimmer's vision does little to address the millions of human jobs that will be lost once self-driving cars displace not only taxi drivers, but truck drivers.
　　"We believe that in the first five or more years following the introduction of autonomous vehicles, the need for human drivers will actually increase, not decrease," writes Zimmer. "When autonomous cars can only solve a portion of those trips, more Lyft drivers will be needed to provide service to the growing market of former car owners," writes Zimmer.
　　But what about after five years, when autonomous cars can provide full service? What about the human drivers? The pushback from human drivers losing work will likely be another, major ripple in the evolution of self-driving cars, as well as other automated systems entering U.S. society in coming years.
　　However, none of these logistical issues diminish Zimmer's ideas. His vision of the future of autonomous vehicles seems quite logical and in step with most who work in and watch the space closely. But the speed bump in accepting his vision wholesale is his ambitious self-driving car timeline in general, and for Lyft in particular.
