As taxi apps become smarter, experts predict they will sync with social networks and calendars to provide an even more efficient and tailored service to their passengers. Here comes the rise of the smart taxi.

伴隨打車軟件愈發智能，專家預測，以后的打車軟件將可與社交網站和用戶日歷達成同步，以為乘客提供愈加便捷且個人化的定制服務。智能出租車將崛起。

TVs in the back of cabs could automatically change channel based on a users likes or dislikes, for example, or drivers could anticipate when and where a passenger will need a ride even before the customer does.

譬如，出租車椅背上的電視或許會自動根據乘客的愛好切換頻道，而司機大概比乘客更早了解在什么時間、什么地址會接到乘客。

The app will know when you are leaving a client meeting and send a taxi to meet you.

打車軟件會了解你什么時間會結束顧客會議，然后把出租車派到你面前。

And as wearables increase in popularity, waving a hand to hail a cab will easily be detected by an electronic ring or wristband.

伴隨各種可穿著打扮設施的普及，招手叫出租車的意圖可以比較容易被電子戒指或腕帶捕捉到。

Within the next five years, as self-driving technologies become more mainstream1, futurologists predict that many cars will converge2 with the high street.

將來五年，無人駕駛技術更趨主流的時候，將來學家語言，不少汽車都會與高街企業達成聚合。

In addition to carrying passengers, self-driving cars, as well as traditional taxis, may also become delivery drivers.

除去搭載乘客，無人開車和傳統的出租車都可以成為遞送員。

This means people could order a taxi to collect dry cleaning, for example, or deliver medicine using a single app.

這就意味著，大家通過一個簡單的軟件就能叫輛出租車去幫他們拿洗好的衣服，或者上門送藥。
