For now, no single technology offers a perfect solution: SmartBalls can get lost; satellite imagery can be fuzzy; and robots still require human operators, which increases costs.

目前，还没有哪一种技术能够提供完美的解决方案：智能球可能会丢失、卫星图像可能会模糊；而且机器人仍然需要人工操作，这会增加成本。

The other one is you add AI on top, and it means that you will have the ability to switch from human operator to machine operated, and the robot takes over as the driver.
