Among them? A location-based air suspension that remembers potholes and steep driveways and automatically adjusts to avoid them.在中国电商阿里巴巴集团（Alibaba）首次公开发表IPO和苹果（Apple）iPhone 6预售更有了所有注目的当天，特斯拉汽车公司（Tesla Motors）对其旗舰车型Model S的无线软件展开了升级，加到了许多新的特色，这一行径给注目科技的大众再行再配了一笔谈资。

On a day dominated by the initial public offering of the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba’s and the first sales of Apple’s new iPhone 6, Tesla Motors added to the tech-centric buzz by wirelessly upgrading its Model S electric car with a number of new features. Among them? A location-based air suspension that remembers potholes and steep driveways and automatically adjusts to avoid them.在中国电商阿里巴巴集团（Alibaba）首次公开发表IPO和苹果（Apple）iPhone 6预售更有了所有注目的当天，特斯拉汽车公司（Tesla Motors）对其旗舰车型Model S的无线软件展开了升级，加到了许多新的特色，这一行径给注目科技的大众再行再配了一笔谈资。其中最有特色的功能是一款可以根据方位展开变化的空气悬架，它可以忘记坑洼和平缓的车道，并自动调整高度避免它们。The feature, which is only available in Model S cars equipped with air suspension, remembers where the driver previously selected high ride heights and automatically raises the car in those spots.这一功能只有组装空气悬架的Model S车型可以用于，它需要记忆驾驶员之前自由选择的悬架高度，并自动在这些方位提升汽车底盘。Other features, which were added to Model S sedans through a wireless software upgrade, include traffic-based navigation that will take into account data shared by other Tesla vehicles on the road, a calendar that syncs with a driver’s smartphone, remote start, power management, and ability to “name” your car. Once the car registers the car’s nickname, it will appear in the Tesla mobile app and in the About Your Tesla section on the 17-inch touch-screen display.Model S通过无线软件升级构建的其他功能还包括：基于交通情况的导航系统（该导航系统不会根据其他特斯拉汽车分享的路况数据做出要求），与司机的智能手机实时的日历，遥控启动，电源管理，以及给汽车“命名”。

车主登记昵称后，该昵称将不会经常出现在特斯拉的移动应用于，以及车内17英寸触摸屏上的“关于你的特斯拉”菜单中。The ability to wirelessly upgrade a vehicle’s software isn’t unique, according to Kelley Blue Book analyst Karl Brauer, who noted Tesla’s location-based air suspension was an interesting feature he hadn’t seen before.美国权威汽车价值评估网站Kelley Blue Book的分析师卡尔o布劳尔回应，升级汽车无线软件并非独有的技术，但特斯拉根据方位自动调整的空气悬架是一个他从未见过的有意思特色。“Any car with built-in Wi-fi technically has the ability to update its software,” said Brauer. “For instance, GM cars equipped with OnStar have been able to remote start cars or make wireless upgrades for some time.”布劳尔说道：“任何享有内置无线网络的汽车，从技术上谈都需要升级其软件。

比如，装有安吉星（OnStar）的通用汽车（GM）都具备远程启动功能，该软件有些时候也不会展开无线升级。”Still the Tesla’s practice of wirelessly upgrading the car’s software to not only fix bugs, but also roll out new features that improve performance and customize the driving experience, illustrates a shift within the auto industry.但是，特斯拉汽车软件的无线升级不仅是为了修缮漏洞，还不会借以发售新的特色以强化汽车性能、为客户量身营造驾驶员体验，这反映了汽车业内的一种改变。

“The importance of software upgrades and maintaining a communication link between the car and the automaker will increase and become more pivotal moving forward,” said John Gartner, research director with Navigant Research.Navigant Research公司研究总监约翰o低德纳回应：“维持软件升级，保持汽车和汽车制造商之间通讯链的重要性不会日益减少，并将沦为推展汽车业之后发展的关键因素。”All vehicles are moving in that direction, but electric vehicle manufacturers are particularly aggressive on that front, added Gartner.低德纳补足道，所有的汽车都将朝这个趋势发展，但电动汽车制造商在这点上特别是在干劲十足。Electric vehicles, which rely on software and computing power, use wireless upgrades to introduce new features and stay ahead of the competition.电动汽车依赖软件和计算能力驱动，它们可以通过无线升级发售新的特色功能，在竞争中维持领先。

In some cases, it’s been used to facilitate—and speed up—a recall.有时候，这也不会用作协助和加快解任工作。In January, after voluntarily recalling 29,222 Model S vehicles, Tesla used a wireless software update to enable the car’s on-board charging system to detect any unexpected fluctuations in the input power or higher resistance connections to the vehicle.今年1月，在主动解任29,222辆Model S汽车后，特斯拉升级了无线软件，让汽车的车载电池系统需要检测输出电源中任何非正常的电压波动或电阻增高。The software upgrade aimed to address concerns that the adapter, cord or wall outlet could overheat while charging. But unlike other official voluntary recalls, Tesla owners didn’t have to bring their cars to a dealership for a fix.软件升级的目的是解决问题用户对电源适配器、电线和墙面电源在电池时短路的忧虑。不过与其他官方的主动解任有所不同，特斯拉的车主不必须把汽车送往代理商那里修理。
