??? 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系統的套裝。它包括：自適應巡航控制系統，它可根據前車的速度調節車速；后備報警系統，當其他車輛從車身某側靠近時，它可發出警示；一個報警器，當車輛位于盲區時它會發出報警，以及車道偏離報警、剎車輔助系統及其他系統。類似技術及產品已經裝備在梅賽德斯-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”。它能通過駕駛者座椅的振動偏離情況發出警報，提示危險情況的發生，比如車道左右偏離等。振動通過駕駛座椅后部傳導給駕駛者。這個系統與儀表板上的報警燈配合運作。通用汽車表示，振動比鈴聲或蜂鳴更有效，因為不少駕駛者可能要么聽不到這種聲音，要么覺得它們惹人心煩。

????可以肯定，如果通用汽車的這個振動座椅得到普及，晚間節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.
