The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is a smorgasbord of cool, with gadgets and prototypes filling the convention halls for three days. While most of the technology tends towards the small — smart phones, tablets, and wearable computers — one industry that gets major play at the annual conference is decidedly larger and perhaps even more mobile: cars.
对于全球科技迷来说，一年一度的拉斯维加斯CES消费电子展堪称一场饕餮盛宴。在为期三天的展会上，他们可以看到各类最新最酷的新设备和原型产品。虽然大多数技术的体型都比较小，比如手机、平板和可穿戴电脑等，但在这场年度盛会上，还有一个块头更大，或许也更具移动性的行业，那就是汽车。

Nvidia unveils new chip perfect for cars
英伟达发布新型汽车芯片
Imagine if you're car's dashboard had graphics as good as a video game system. That's what the new chip unveiled by Nvidia is supposed to do, according to CNET. On Sunday, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang showed off the new Tegra X1 processor, which can be used in both tablets and cars. The chip can help with assisted driving, both to avoid crashes and, potentially, for fully automated driving.

In-car shopping from GM
通用汽车发布车内购物功能
This is one that sounds perfect for people who get tired and hungry when they're driving: GM's OnStar system is adding a new program called "AtYourService," in which a human assistant helps with shopping and can even book hotel reservations. The system will offer coupons and information about retailers, plus help find parking. GM even has a partnership set up with Dunkin' Donuts for deals.
开车时又累又饿怎么办？这个功能绝对是很多驾驶员的福音。通用汽车的安吉星（OnStar）系统增加了一个叫做“为您服务”（AtYourService）的新项目，接通之后，一名人工助手会帮你购物甚至预订酒店。该系统还会提供一些零售商的优惠券和其它信息，另外它还能帮你找到停车位。通用汽车已经和甜甜圈零售商唐恩都乐公司达成了合作协议。
Chevrolet previews the new Volt
新款雪佛兰沃蓝达轿车闪亮登场
Despite lower fuel prices, electric cars continue to capture interest at CES. On Sunday night, GM tried to capitalize on that by giving a sneak peak of a redesigned Chevy Volt. Not much information was available about the plug-in electric car, but journalists were excited to take a look before the car is officially unveiled next week at the Detroit auto show. The Verge notes that this is the first major redesign of the Volt since it debuted in 2007. Among the few details is that the car may come with an extended electric-only driving range, one of the main complaints about the first generation of the model.
虽然油价持续走低，但在CES消费电子展上，电动汽车展区依然人头攒动。通用汽车当然不愿错过这个机会。上周日晚，经过重新设计的新款雪佛兰沃兰达轿车（Chevy Volt）借助这个舞台闪亮登场。关于这款插电式混合动力汽车的信息还不是很多，但由于这款车型本来计划在下周的底特律汽车展上才正式亮相，能够提前一睹它的真容，让不少记者兴奋不已。科技媒体The Verge指出，这是沃兰达自2007年推出以来的首次大改。在目前少数可知的细节中，我们知道该车型的纯电池续航里程有所增加，而纯电动续航弱也是第一代沃兰达最令人诟病之处。
