Jaguar has already unveiled plans for eye-tracking cameras that can prevent you from falling asleep at the wheel.
捷豹推出了眼球追蹤攝像頭的計(jì)劃，它能防止你在方向盤(pán)上睡著。

And now its latest patent wants to use this technology to control a car's window wipers.
現(xiàn)在其最新的專利想利用這一技術(shù)來(lái)控制汽車(chē)的雨刷。

It details a system in which every time the driver looks in their rear-view mirror the wipers on the rear window are activated automatically.
專利中詳細(xì)介紹了一個(gè)系統(tǒng)，每次司機(jī)看后視鏡的時(shí)候后窗雨刷自動(dòng)被激活。

However, the filing hints that it could potentially work with wipers on the front windscreen too.
然而，文件暗示司機(jī)的這一動(dòng)作也可能使前擋風(fēng)玻璃的雨刷被激活。

The patent, called 'Windscreen clearing system for a vehicle', was filed by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in March 2013 and awarded this week. It was originally spotted by Gizmag.
這項(xiàng)被稱為“車(chē)輛的擋風(fēng)玻璃清潔系統(tǒng)”的專利，于2013年3月由捷豹路虎(JLR)提出，并于本周授予。而最早發(fā)現(xiàn)它的其實(shí)是Gizmag。

When a driver decides to observe the environment behind the vehicle by looking through the rear windscreen, typically using a rear-view mirror, the rear windscreen may not be wiped and may be obscured.
當(dāng)司機(jī)想通過(guò)后擋風(fēng)玻璃觀察車(chē)后面的環(huán)境時(shí)，后風(fēng)擋玻璃可能很久沒(méi)擦，也可能模糊不清，因此司機(jī)通常只能使用后視鏡來(lái)觀察。

It is against this background that the present invention has been conceived.
正是在這種背景下，本發(fā)明才被設(shè)想出來(lái)。

JLR added that the patent refers to a windscreen wiper system for a vehicle 'and particularly, but not exclusively, to a rear windscreen wiper system' that operates automatically in response to detecting eye-movement of a driver of the vehicle toward a rear-view mirror.
JLR補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，這項(xiàng)關(guān)于擋風(fēng)玻璃雨刷系統(tǒng)的專利"主要針對(duì)但不僅限于后擋風(fēng)玻璃雨刷系統(tǒng)"，后者在探測(cè)到司機(jī)眼球朝后視鏡方向移動(dòng)時(shí)自動(dòng)啟用。

It is likely to take advantage of the eye-tracking Driver Monitor System (DMS) JLR announced in January.
它很可能利用了JLR在一月份宣布的眼球追蹤司機(jī)監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)(DMS)。

JLR, with support from Intel and Seeing Machines, has developed sensing technology that monitors the driver's face and eyes to reduce distracted and drowsy driving.
JLR在英特爾和視覺(jué)機(jī)器公司的支持下，已經(jīng)開(kāi)發(fā)了監(jiān)測(cè)司機(jī)的臉和眼睛的遙感技術(shù)，以減少分心和疲勞駕駛。

Vocabulary
