A group of researchers and engineers from the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is developing an inn ovative vehicle designed for its use around cities or small communities. 一组研究人员和工程师，从麻省理工学院（麻省理工学院技术）是发展中国家的一客栈ovative车辆设计供其使用，或在城市周围的小社区。 The “City Car”, with room for two passengers, would be powered by lithium-ion batteries and could collapse, then stack like a shopping cart with up to eight cars fitting into a usual parking space. “城市车” ，同室两名乘客，将动力锂离子电池，并可能崩溃，然后栈就像一个购物车，最多8辆拟合成为一个惯常的停车空间。

The City Car is designed more as a service than as an individual vehicle. 城市汽车的设计更是作为一种服务，比作为一个单独的车辆。 It could be connected to a network giving the driver access to real-time information, such as route advice in bad weather or traffic congestion conditions. 它可以连接到网络让司机获得实时信息，如路线的意见，在恶劣天气或交通挤塞的情况。 Or it could even alert drivers when they approach the kind of restaurant they like. 或者它甚至可以提醒司机时，他们的做法，什么样的餐厅他们喜欢的。

The City Car would work similar to a shopping cart or a bike-share program where you return the item to a convenient location when you’re done with it. 城市汽车会的工作类似的购物车或自行车共享计划，让您把物品退还给一个方便的位置，当您完成它。 City Car users would be required to swipe their credit card as a form of deposit. 城市轿车用户将须刷卡信用卡作为一个形式的存款。 The cars could also be tracked using GPS. 汽车也可以使用全球定位系统跟踪。 To protect privacy, the GPS info could then be deleted once the car is safely returned. 保障私隐，全球定位系统信息便可删除一旦汽车是安全返回。
