Could Tesla bring Apple airplay to cars? Here's what Elon Musk said
Offerings from two of the most valuable companies in the world could soon be united, according to $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ CEO Elon Musk.
世界上最有價值的兩家公司的股票發行可能很快就會合並。 $特斯拉(TSLA.US)$首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克.
What Happened: Musk is considering putting the AirPlay protocol from $Apple(AAPL.US)$ inside Tesla vehicles.
發生的事情：馬斯克正在考慮將AirPlay協議從 $蘋果(AAPL.US)$在特斯拉的車裏。
As reported by Electrek, Musk said he is considering Apple's AirPlay to improve the audio quality for Tesla vehicles against the existing Bluetooth.
據Electrtrek報道，馬斯克表示，他正在考慮蘋果的AirPlay，以改善特斯拉汽車的音頻質量，而不是現有的藍牙。
Tesla has emphasized the quality of its sound system in newer electric vehicle models like the Model 3 and new version of the Model S.
特斯拉在Model 3和新版Model S等較新款電動汽車中強調了音響系統的質量。
The drawback is that some audio quality is determined by the Bluetooth when playing music from a phone in the vehicle.
缺點是，在車內通過手機播放音樂時，一些音頻質量是由藍牙決定的。
Apple's AirPlay is a proprietary technology that allows streaming from multiple devices. A user suggested to Musk that using AirPlay could result in lossless streaming.
蘋果的AirPlay是一項專有技術，允許從多個設備進行流媒體播放。一位用户向馬斯克建議，使用AirPlay可以實現無損流媒體。
"I love that we can request a Tesla feature and it might be added. Like this: The speaker system in Teslas are so good, but we are limited by the quality of Bluetooth. Could we have AirPlay added? It adds the ability for lossless streaming. The hardware necessary is already there," the user asked.
這位用户問道：“我很高興我們可以申請特斯拉的功能，而且它可能會被添加。比如：特斯拉的揚聲器系統非常好，但我們受到藍牙質量的限制。我們可以添加AirPlay嗎？它增加了無損流媒體的能力。必要的硬件已經在那裏了，”該用户問道。
Musk shared his response publicly on Twitter, suggesting his openness.
馬斯克在推特上公開分享了他的迴應，表明了他的開放態度。
Will discuss this and other improvements with Tesla audio engineering. The new Model S and X sound system is incredible.
-Musk said
將與特斯拉音頻工程公司討論這一點和其他改進。新的Model S和X音響系統令人難以置信。
--馬斯克説
AirPlay uses Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth, and Tesla vehicles are equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities.
Airplay使用Wi-Fi而不是藍牙，特斯拉汽車配備了Wi-Fi功能。
Why It's Important: Tesla has shown reluctance to adopting Apple technology for its electric vehicles in the past.
為什麼它很重要：特斯拉過去曾表示不願在其電動汽車上採用蘋果的技術。
Owners of Tesla vehicles have asked to implement Apple CarPlay previously to no avail. Tesla has its own software systems and has so far been content with their capabilities.
特斯拉車主此前曾要求實施Apple CarPlay，但無濟於事。特斯拉擁有自己的軟件系統，到目前為止一直對自己的能力感到滿意。
The comments from Musk show some willingness to bring in a key Apple feature to the vehicles if it can improve the user experience. This will be an item for shareholders of both Apple and Tesla to watch, as it could lead to a potential partnership down the road.
馬斯克的評論表明，如果蘋果的一項關鍵功能能夠改善用户體驗，他願意在汽車上引入這一關鍵功能。這將是蘋果和特斯拉股東都需要關注的問題，因為它可能會導致未來的潛在合作伙伴關係。
