卡洛斯·戈恩談論汽車業未來

本周的底特律車展上，將有一批新型SUV、卡車和豪華汽車閃亮登場。還會有許多人暢談未來的新型汽車。

尼桑-雷諾-三菱聯盟（Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi Alliance）的董事長兼CEO卡洛斯·戈恩談論了汽車行業即將迎來的“巨變”，多位行業領袖也將就此話題展開討論。戈恩表示，未來五年，汽車將從一種“交通工具”變成一個“智能移動空間”。

他還預測，量產的無人駕駛汽車將在四至五年內上路。他還在加緊采取措施，保證他所領導的龐大汽車聯盟能夠生產出自己的無人駕駛汽車。

他計劃通過投資汽車技術行業的初創公司，來實現這一目標。就在底特律車展開幕前幾天，他剛剛宣布推出一個10億美元的風投基金，主要投資電氣化、人工智能、網絡連接和自動化等最新技術。

戈恩稱：“我們不可能什么都做。”他表示將借助創業者的力量，因為“他們能帶來創意、服務和技術，而如果只靠我們自己，需要投入太多的時間和資金。”

戈恩的首要任務是到2022年之前推出12款電動汽車，并大膽嘗試開發自動駕駛汽車。(財富中文網)

Car lovers will see a vast array of shiny new SUVs, trucks, and luxury cars at the Detroit Auto Show this week. And there will be plenty of talk about the new gadgets coming down the road.

Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO of the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi Alliance, is one of the leaders talking about a “huge transformation” coming to the auto industry. Over the next five years, he says the automobile will be transformed from a “transportation device” into a “smart, intelligent mobile space.”

He also predicts that mass market, driverless vehicles will be on the road in four to five years. And he is racing to make sure some of those vehicles will be built by his giant automotive group.

One way he plans to do that is by investing in startups in the auto technology sector. Just days before the Detroit show, he announced a venture capital fund that will invest $1 billion in new developments in electrification, artificial intelligence, connectivity, and autonomy.

“We can’t do everything,” Ghosn says, adding that he’s turning to entrepreneurs because “they bring ideas, services, pieces of technology—things that take too much time for us to do, too much money for us to do.”

At the top of Ghosn’s to-do list is launching 12 electric vehicles by 2022 and moving boldly toward creating an autonomous, self-driving vehicle.
