??? 兩款全新的凱迪拉克，即大型的XTS和緊湊型ATS，將提供包含多種技術(shù)系統(tǒng)的套裝。它包括：自適應(yīng)巡航控制系統(tǒng)，它可根據(jù)前車的速度調(diào)節(jié)車速；后備報(bào)警系統(tǒng)，當(dāng)其他車輛從車身某側(cè)靠近時，它可發(fā)出警示；一個報(bào)警器，當(dāng)車輛位于盲區(qū)時它會發(fā)出報(bào)警，以及車道偏離報(bào)警、剎車輔助系統(tǒng)及其他系統(tǒng)。類似技術(shù)及產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)裝備在梅賽德斯-奔馳（Mercedes）、奧迪、寶馬（BMW）和雷克薩斯（Lexus）的幾款車型上。

????通用汽車此次率先采用了“安全座椅警示系統(tǒng)”。它能通過駕駛者座椅的振動偏離情況發(fā)出警報(bào)，提示危險(xiǎn)情況的發(fā)生，比如車道左右偏離等。振動通過駕駛座椅后部傳導(dǎo)給駕駛者。這個系統(tǒng)與儀表板上的報(bào)警燈配合運(yùn)作。通用汽車表示，振動比鈴聲或蜂鳴更有效，因?yàn)椴簧亳{駛者可能要么聽不到這種聲音，要么覺得它們?nèi)侨诵臒?/p>

????可以肯定，如果通用汽車的這個振動座椅得到普及，晚間節(jié)目的喜劇演員肯定會拿它開涮。

??? The two new Cadillacs, the large XTS and the compact ATS, will offer packages that include adaptive cruise control, which adjusts to the speed of vehicles ahead; backup warnings that tell when vehicles are approaching from the side; a warning indicator to tell if a vehicle is in the blind spot, lane departure warnings, braking assist and others. Similar technologies and features already are available on several models of Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and Lexus (TM) vehicles.

????A "safety seat alert," transmitted via vibrations from the driver's seat, indicating hazardous situation, such as lane departure on the right or left part of the seat will be a first for GM. Vibrations are transmitted via the driver's backside. The system works in tandem with warning lights on the dashboard. GM said the vibration is more effective than a chime or buzzer, which some driver's may not hear or find annoying.

????In any event, late-night comedians will have fun with GM's vibrating seat concept if it becomes popular.
