[科技] 快递员哭!无人机会抢走哪些工作?(双语)

　　谷歌和亚马逊已经开始用无人机送货了，真是反应神速。但最新调查显示，快递运输只是无人机将要取代人类工作的领域之一。

　　Google and Amazon were quick to put drones to use delivering orders.But new research suggests delivery is just one small way drones are going to replace humans.

　　普华永道咨询公司最新发布调查报告显示，如今无人机的全球市场价值已近20亿美元。到了2020年，无人机将取代价值高达约8271亿元的商业服务和人工劳务工作。

　　The global market for drones, valued at around $2 billion today, will replace up to $127 billion worth of business services and human labour over the next four years, according to a new research by consulting firm PwC.

　　无人机技术将很快融入我们的日常生活，监测有裂痕的基础设施像柏油路面、桥梁和住宅的裂缝，甚至进行修复工作。基础设施市场目前基本是人工劳动，其市场价值可达到452亿美元。其实大多数高空工作都适合用无人机，以减少工伤并提高效率；而在运输行业，最有可能被利用的就是食品速递。

　　Drone technology could soon become part of our everyday lives, monitoring problems with crumbling infrastructure such as cracks in tarmac, bridges and houses and even repairing them as part of $45.2 billion of infrastructure work currently done by humans. Drones will be able to perform most tasks at height, reducing the risk of death and injury and increasing efficiency. In transport, one of the most promising uses of drones is predicted to be food delivery.

　　普华永道分析师认为，“食品餐饮行业下一步可能着眼于用无人机运输速冻食品、即食食品，甚至大型连锁店的日用品。”普华永道称，只要规则允许，无人机就可以缩短运输食品的时间。比如，谷歌公司已经开始尝试解决如何让无人机安全飞过人们的院子，而不威胁到宠物，也不撞到其他潜在的障碍物。在农业方面，无人机将被更多地用于迅速收集、分析农作物数据，并精确喷洒。

　　“Providing products such as frozen food, ready-to-eat dishes or even daily groceries from large chains may become be the next big thing in the food and restaurant industries,” analysts at PwC said. As soon as regulation permits, drones will be able to decrease the time it takes to deliver food, PwC said. Google is for instance already trying to solve the problem of how to fly drones safely in yards without endangering pets or other potential obstacles.In agriculture, drones will increasingly be used to gather and analyse data on crops quickly as well as to do precise spraying on plants.

　　普华永道预计的2020年八大无人机市场：

　　Top drone markets by 2020 according to PwC

　　1. Infrastructure ($45.2 bn) 基础设施

　　2. Agriculture ($32.4bn) 农业

　　3. Transport ($13bn) 交通运输

　　4. Security ($10bn) 安全

　　5. Media and entertainment ($8.8 bn) 媒体和娱乐产业

　　6. Insurance ($6.8 bn) 保险

　　7. Telecoms ($6.3bn) 电信

　　8. Mining ($4.4bn) 采矿业
