本期材料发音模仿地址:http://bulo.hujiang.com/menu/11885/item/655219/Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called "The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS."
Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills.
"The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS" lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.
Barry Brown says, "To make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together. "巴里·布朗曾在加州大学圣地亚哥分校担任教授。在那里，他和爱丁堡大学的艾瑞克·劳里合作了一个项目。他们在人们的车上安装了摄像机，用来研究GPS设备对开车的影响。他们根据自己的研究结果撰写了一篇论文。论文名字叫做《GPS在驾驶中的常见问题》。
巴里·布朗表示，这个研究结果颠覆了GPS系统是为了那些缺乏方向感又被动的司机们准备的这个普遍观点。
论文《GPS在驾驶中的常见问题》中列举了GPS系统可能会导致驾驶混乱的几个方面。其中包括地图过时、错误或难以理解。还包括与发出GPS命令时有关的时序问题。
巴里·布朗表示，为了改进GPS系统，我们需要更好地了解司机、乘客和GPS系统是如何协同工作的。
