This is a matter of perspective.
Japan still uses fax machines, is notorious for its paperwork (using real paper), and is full of houses with poor insulation. In software development, Japan is nowhere near the US.
However, in terms of infrastructure, there really isn’t any comparison. Japan wins, hands down. Japan’s rail system is unmatched, including a monorail (the Yurikamome) run entirely by computer and levitating magnetic trains. Cities are built to withstand frequent earthquakes.
This reflects Japan’s priorities for creating a functional society, and the fact that Japan experiences an unusual number of dangerous natural disasters. Japan is more willing to invest in services and infrastructure for the common good, and it shows.
这取决于你看待事物的视角。
日本仍在使用传真机，文书工作(使用真纸)臭名昭著，到处都是绝缘不良的房屋。在软件开发方面，日本远不及美国。
然而，就基础设施而言，二者确实没有任何可比性。日本轻而易举地获胜了。日本的铁路系统是无与伦比的，包括完全由电脑控制和磁悬浮列车运行的单轨铁路。城市的建造可以抵御频繁的地震。
这反映了日本创建一个正常运转的社会的优先事项，以及日本经历了异常多的危险自然灾害的事实。日本更愿意为公共利益投资服务和基础设施，这一点也表现出来了。

What Japan does have is more solid primary and secondary STEM education. Most of America’s public STEM education at that level is garbage. Japan also has excellent universities and produces a large number of Nobel and other prize winners in STEM fields. And Japan is mostly urban, which means that ideas and technologies are adopted rapidly.
But in terms of overall technological development, I wouldn’t say Japan is clearly in the lead. More importantly, I don’t think you can easily distinguish open, democratic countries as being “more advanced” than the other: they are free to buy and trade technologies from each other.
Who is more advanced, the country that creates a technology, or the country that is quick to identify the value and uses that technology? Hard to say.
日本所拥有的是更扎实的中小学STEM教育。大多数美国的公共STEM教育都是垃圾。日本也有优秀的大学，在STEM领域培养了大量诺贝尔奖和其他奖项的获得者。日本大部分是城市，这意味着想法和技术可以被迅速采纳。
但就整体技术发展而言，我不会说日本明显处于领先地位。更重要的是，我认为你很难区分开放、民主的国家是否比其他国家“更先进”:它们可以自由地从对方那里购买和交易技术。
谁更先进，是创造技术的国家，还是快速识别并使用技术的国家?这很难说。

Japan is a 100% Asian country, it is really small in extension but large in population. It's not merely about universities but quality of the people.
US universities also don't only serve Americans or their interests, they serve global interests, especially China's. Japanese universities serve Japanese interests.
日本是一个100%的亚洲国家，面积很小，但人口很多。这不仅和大学的水平有关，还和人的素质有关。
美国大学不仅服务于美国人或他们的利益，他们也服务于全球利益，特别是中国的利益。日本的大学只服务于日本的利益。

When the US has the best universities for STEM…
Also no.
Apart from CalTech and MIT, the best STEM universities are far from US.
Japan views education as a way of living, US has education as a way to profit.
That’s why.
当美国有最好的STEM大学时……并没有。
除了加州理工学院和麻省理工学院，最好的STEM大学离美国很远。
日本视教育为一种生活方式，美国视教育为一种盈利方式。
这就是原因。

I’m going to give my take on this, and I’m not an expert, but have some amateur interest, and am a scientist.
The US is, indeed home to places like Cal Tech and MIT, the very best students go here and become scientists and engineers that are probably the most capable 1% in the world.
BUT 99% of people DON’T go to Cal Tech and MIT and , despite what movies and TV portray, most scientific and technical achievements are NOT made by a single lone genius in a EUREKA moment, it’s incremental advancement made by thousands of moderately talented worker bees collaborating in academia and industry. So, what’s at least as important as the quality of education available at the very top schools is the quality of education available at the middle ranked ones.
Because US university education is expensive compared to many other developed nations, I expect a lot of people are not able to pursue as much education as they might had they been born in places like the UK, Western Europe, Japan or Korea, to name a few.
Secondly, the best scientists in the world will not make discoveries if the infrastructure and social environment is not conducive to doing so. The US did not build the superconducting supercollider, but CERN did build the Large Hadron Collider. The US is very interested in military research, better stealth planes and super carriers, but hasn’t tried to develop the equivalent of the TGV or Shinkansen.
Thirdly, using Japan as a specific example, Japan has massive space constraints, which require technical and social solutions to allow people to live there comfortable. The country is frequently hit by earthquakes and typhoons, so it has spent time and money developing the infrastructure to respond to them. It has 35 million people living in Tokyo, so it had to develop a high speed train system to move them around efficiently. The US has an abundance of space and resources, which means that it doesn’t have the same imperative to come up with solutions to such problems, people simply build farther out and get in their large cars to drive to the strip mall.
我将给出我的看法，我不是这方面的专家，但有一些业余兴趣，我是一个科学家。
美国确实是加州理工学院和麻省理工学院的所在地，最优秀的学生在这里学习，成为科学家和工程师，他们可能是世界上最有能力的那1%的人。
但99%的人都没有上过加州理工学院和麻省理工学院，不管电影和电视是怎么描述的，大多数的科学和技术成就并不是由一个天才在一个“发现”时刻取得的，而是由数千名中等天赋的工蜂在学术界和工业界合作取得的渐进进步。因此，与顶级学校的教育质量同等重要的是中等学校的教育质量。
因为与其他发达国家相比，美国的大学教育是昂贵的，我预计很多人无法像他们出生在英国、西欧、日本或韩国等地那样接受那么多的教育。
其次，如果基础设施和社会环境不适合，哪怕是世界上最好的科学家也不会有新的发现。美国没有建造出超导超级对撞机，但欧洲核子研究中心建造出了大型强子对撞机。美国对军事研究、更好的隐形飞机和超级航母非常感兴趣，但还没有尝试开发法国高铁或日本新干线的等效物。
第三，以日本为例，日本有巨大的空间限制，这需要技术和社会解决方案，让人们在那里生活舒适。这个国家经常遭受地震和台风的袭击，所以它花费了时间和金钱来发展基础设施以应对它们。日本有3500万人口居住在东京，所以日本必须开发一个高速列车系统来有效地运送他们。美国有丰富的空间和资源，这意味着它没有同样的迫切需要想出解决这些问题的办法，人们只是在更远的地方建造房屋，然后开着他们的大车去购物中心。

It is not. The U.S is clearly and obviously ahead of Japan in every conceivable way where technology is concerned.
You are mixing up technological prowess and innovation with social harmony and the quality implementation of known technologies to improve living standards.
Japan has social harmony, discipline, order, very low crime rates and an educated and hard working populace. This is its culture. Japan is simply implementing and refining known and tried technologies that were largely first developed elsewhere.
The U.S is a layer cake. It has a layer comprised of the most highly paid, successful and intelligent people on earth and that overwhelmingly dictate the course of technology. Be it SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, Apple, Tesla, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Boeing, GE, Raytheon, Google etc. Japan is not even remotely close in this respect. Japan is a consumer of these technologies. But as I said, the U.S is a layer cake, so while this highly educated and well paid layer is there, there are also layers of society populated by very uneducated and dysfunctional people. You do not get this sort of polarisation in Japan.
The biggest threat to the U.S is that the unproductive, uneducated layer is growing ever bigger. Social degeneration is increasing. As a result a great political and cultural divide is taking place. Eventually, if the unproductive, criminally inclined layer outgrows itself and fails to evolve, the system will fail to cope and the quality of life will go down even further. The U.S will further divide across districts/cities and which could eventually culminate in its break up or the implementation of an access restricted, segmented zone system.
在技术方面，美国在所有可以想象的方面都明显领先于日本。
美国拥有的是技术创新实力，而日本是把已知技术和社会和谐紧密结合起来，以提高人们的生活水平，你把这二者弄混了。
日本社会和谐，纪律严明，秩序井然，犯罪率很低，民众受过良好教育，工作努力。这就是它的文化。日本只是在实施和改进已知和尝试过的技术，这些技术基本上是在其他地方最先开发出来的。
美国是一个多层蛋糕。它有一层由地球上收入最高、最成功、最聪明的人组成，他们压倒性地支配着技术的进程。比如SpaceX、洛克希德·马丁、苹果、特斯拉、英特尔、AMD、英伟达、波音、通用电气、雷神、谷歌等等。在这方面，日本甚至远没有达到。日本只是这些技术的消费者。但就像我说的，美国是一个多层次的蛋糕，所以虽然有受过高等教育和收入丰厚的阶层，但也有很多未受过教育和功能失调的人组成的社会阶层。在日本，你不会看到这种两极分化。
美国面临的最大威胁是，没有生产力、没有受过教育的阶层越来越多。社会堕落正在增加。结果，巨大的政治和文化鸿沟正在形成。最终，如果生产力低下、有犯罪倾向的阶层自我膨胀，无法进化，这个系统将无法应对，生活质量将进一步下降。美国各阶层将进一步在地区/城市之间分裂，这可能最终导致各阶层完全割裂，甚至实施准入限制和分段区域系统。

the few times i went to Japan i did notice they had stuff that we did not yet have in the states by a few years. but this has nothing to do with our universities compared to their own. Yes ours are some of the best and hence attract students from the world. we educate Japanese and Chinese and students across the globe. Many of them go home and do not stay here.
有几次我去日本，我注意到他们有我们在美国几年还没有的东西，但这与两国的大学无关。是的，我们的学校是最好的，因此吸引了来自世界各地的学生。我们教育来自日本和中国以及全球的学生。他们中的许多人回国了，没有留在美国。

Where the best STEM university is located, is of no interest when it comes to making a country “technology advanced”. What matters is how big fraction of the population have a decent STEM exam and works with a STEM related job.
For a developed country US have a low fraction of STEM graduates. Most of the best go to law, medicine and MBA. STEM “is not worth the effort”.
说到让一个国家“技术先进”，最好的STEM大学在哪里并不重要。重要的是，有多少人能考出不错的STEM考试，并从事与STEM相关的工作。
作为一个发达国家，美国的STEM毕业生比例很低。最优秀的学生大多选择了法律、医学和MBA。而STEM“不值得付出努力”。

When you say “technologically advanced” what exactly do you mean? Sure in some cases this is true. But in other cases it isn’t. I mean this is the country that doesn’t use insulation on their homes, who use kerosene heaters during the winter meaning you need to crack a window to get rid of the fumes and where they still use fax machines. E-mail is so much more convenient but no, when I worked there on contract every week I needed to fill out my sheet, get my manager to sign it and fax it back to my contracting company. I was so happy when I was taken on full time. No more faxing.
Yes there are aspects of Japan that are more technologically advanced than the US. But not every aspect of life is like that. I’d say that this is based on what the people find to be important to them. Infrastructure, considering that Japan is situated on the convergence of several tectonic plates and multiple fault lines. So more is paid towards safety and lessening the risk of buildings falling down over then getting super fast internet.
Besides Japan doesn’t really invent anything. They instead improve on existing designs. I mean the Sony Walkman was a revolution when it first came out. The president of Sony wanted a portable tape player so he gave his engineers something like this:
And asked them to make it so that he could walk around with it clipped to his belt. They turned it into this:
It took 4 AA batteries. Eventually they reduced the size even more. But they didn’t invent the cassette tape player.
Same thing with cars, appliances and all sorts of electronics.
你说的“技术先进”到底是什么意思?当然在某些情况下是这样的，但在其他情况下并非如此。我的意思是，这是一个不使用保温建材的国家，他们在冬天使用煤油加热器，这意味着你需要打开窗户来消除烟雾。他们仍然在使用传真机，即便电子邮件方便得多。当我每周在那里签合同时，我需要填写表格，让我的经理签字，然后传真回我的合同公司。当我被全职聘用时，我是那么的高兴，终于不用再发传真了。
是的，日本在某些方面比美国技术更先进。但并不是生活的每个方面都是这样的。我想说，这是基于人们发现什么对他们来说是重要的。对于日本人来说是基础设施而不是上网。考虑到日本位于几个构造板块和多条断层线的交汇处。所以更多的钱花在了安全上，减少了建筑物倒塌的风险。
此外，日本并没有真正发明任何东西。它们反而改进了现有的设计。我的意思是，索尼随身听刚出现的时候是一场革命。索尼公司的总裁想要一个便携式磁带播放器，所以他给他的工程师提出了这样的要求:
让工程师把它做成这样，人们走到哪儿都能把它夹在腰带上。他们把它变成了这样:
这个随身听需要4节AA电池。并进一步缩小了尺寸。但是卡式磁带播放器并不是他们发明出来的。
汽车、电器和各种电子产品也是如此。

I lived in Japan for six years. My wife is Japanese and we get back there a couple of times/year. I haven’t seen any particular way in which Japan is more technologically advanced except in areas that warrant it.
For example trains. They have the bullet train. Better than what we have in the U.S.. Why? Not because they are smarter. It is because they have more necessity for it.
Many houses still use a cesspit under the house and don’t have flushing toilets.
On a whole, they have better rice cookers, but you can buy the same rice cooker in the U.S. if you want one.
I can’t really think of any technology they have that makes me think.
我在日本住了六年。我妻子是日本人，我们每年都会回日本几次。我没有看到日本在技术上有什么特别先进的地方，除了那些需要使用先进技术的领域。
例如火车，他们有高铁，比我们美国的要好。为什么?不是因为他们更聪明。这是因为他们有更多的需求。
在日本，许多房子仍然使用房子下面的粪坑，没有冲水厕所。
总的来说，他们有更好的电饭锅，但如果你想要的话，你可以在美国买到同样的电饭锅。
我实在想不出他们有什么技术能让我承认他们的技术更先进。

Essentially it is because Japan is a capitalist economy with a socialist culture, where the US is a capitalist economy with a serfdom culture
从本质上说，这是因为日本是资本主义经济和社会主义文化，而美国是资本主义经济和农奴制文化

Maybe the presupposition of the question is wrong. The US may not have the best universities for STEM. It just has the universities with most mindshare. I suspect the press department budget of some of the best-known universities in the US can match that of some large companies.
On the other hand, the most graduates in Japan are really trained in the companies. When I was in Sony, a bunch of graduates were in the building. My Japanese colleague said that they would go through a two-years training programme before they really start working for the company.
也许这个问题的前提是错误的。美国可能并没有什么最好的STEM大学。它只是拥有最受关注的大学。我怀疑，美国一些知名大学的新闻部门预算可以与一些大公司相媲美。
另一方面，大多数日本毕业生是在公司里接受培训的。我在索尼的时候，大楼里有一群毕业生。我的日本同事说，在他们真正开始为公司工作之前，他们会接受为期两年的培训。

On the other hand, the most graduates in Japan are really trained in the companies. When I was in Sony, a bunch of graduates were in the building. My Japanese colleague said that they would go through a two-years training programme before they really start working for the company.
也许这个问题的前提是错误的。美国可能并没有什么最好的STEM大学。它只是拥有最受关注的大学。我怀疑，美国一些知名大学的新闻部门预算可以与一些大公司相媲美。

It’s because the people who own America want most Americans to live like peons.
And there’s no significant difference between the best American universities and those elsewhere in the world. Very few people would turn down a place at Cambridge or the Sorbonne to go to MIT, for example.
因为掌控美国的人希望大多数美国人像苦力一样生活。
美国最好的大学和世界其他地方的大学没有明显的区别。例如，很少有人会拒绝去剑桥大学或索邦大学，而选择去麻省理工学院。

Bullet trains and Japanese cartoons made Japan look technologically advanced.
You'll be surprised to know that offices in Japan still use fax.
子弹头列车和日本漫画让日本看起来技术很先进。
但你会惊讶地发现，日本的办公室仍然在使用传真机。

Though the US has been the world leader in research in a wide range of areas, they strangely do not transfer this knowledge back to society and benefit by it. In practice it’s the corporations that call the shots there. Research and knowledge seems to be showcased, as if knowledge is meant to sit in a shelf and be admired.
虽然美国在很多领域的研究都是世界领先的，但奇怪的是，他们并没有将这些知识转化回社会并从中受益。实际上，美国公司才是在美国发号施令的人。研究成果和知识似乎是用来展示的，知识就好像是放在架子上供人欣赏的东西。

Have you even walked in the CalTech campus, I have. And at University of California Irvine. You known what I see. East Asians (before the pandemic). The students seem to be all East Asians. LOL. Maybe a lot of Japanese, but probably a lot are Chinese, Right now Chinese has more patents than US and Japan is just behind.
And which country now has the most STEM graduates by a large margin…China with India a distant second and then next is far behind India. I hear that China has many really good universities (and I expect that they are well underrated) and pay really well to get the best talent to teach at them. The Chinese are learning learning from the best US universities and they will be the professors at Chinese Universities in the future, teaching Chinese so as China will leave the US far behind.
你去过加州理工的校园吗，我去过。在加州大学欧文分校。你知道我看到了什么。东亚人(疫情前)，学生们似乎全都是东亚人，哈哈，可能有很多日本人，但也可能很多是中国人。现在中国拥有的专利比美国还多，日本紧随其后。
现在哪个国家有最多的STEM毕业生，中国遥遥领先……印度排在第二，但远远落后于中国。我听说中国有很多非常好的大学(我认为这些大学被低估了)，并且支付非常高的薪水来聘请最优秀的人才在这些大学任教。中国人正在在美国最好的大学学习，他们将来会成为中国大学的教授，教授其他中国人，这样中国就会把美国远远甩在后面。

That’s more about politics and size. Japan prioritizes infrastructure investment. Congress can’t be bothered to even do something about the crumbling road network in the US.
这更多是关于政治和地域规模的。日本优先考虑投资基础设施。而美国国会甚至懒得为美国摇摇欲坠的公路网做点什么。

Because the best STEM American graduates in US universities often do not end up working in government?
However, the best STEM Japanese graduates who study in US universities do end up working in the Japanese government?
I do not have the statistics or anything, but just based on impressions I feel like I see more Japanese civil servants having MIT, Caltech, Stanford, etc degrees than I see American ones.
因为美国大学最优秀的STEM美国毕业生通常不会在政府工作?
然而，在美国大学学习的最好的日本STEM毕业生最终却在为日本政府工作?
我没有统计数据或其他东西，只是根据印象，我觉得我看到更多的日本公务员拥有麻省理工学院、加州理工学院、斯坦福大学等学位，而在美国却不是这样。

Jspan is in rather sizable nation but perhaps the size of but a few states of the USA combined. Thus planning and rollout can be efficiently coordinated from Tokyo whereas stateside regions comprise competitive market turf which must be contested over by industry and negotiated within state government.
日本是一个相当大的国家，但可能也只是美国几个州的面积总和。因此，日本的未来规划和政策推出可以在东京进行有效地协调，而美国本土地区则是竞争激烈的市场，必须由企业来争夺，并在州政府内部进行谈判。

US is a different league altogether. I sometimes cannot but admire them and wonder if they could do few other things better what more could they have achieved. US has a simple strategy it picks the best of the best STEM graduates whether Chinese, Indian, Russians, x, y, z. There is a very high likelihood that if you are someone who matters and has done some pioneering work in STEM then you live in the USA. The American has the capital, muscle, prestige and comforts that very capable men and women aspire. As long as it remains an attractive destination in terms of remuneration, quality of life, research grants, giant scientific endeavours and prestigious institutions it will maintain an edge. Some people will say that edge is thinning. And I am sure US policy makers are already working on it. Important thing is that they recognize it. Maintaining that edge is hard and I am sure Americans will find something from their cornucopian bag of resources.
美国是一个完全不同的联盟。我有时不得不钦佩他们，想知道他们在其他事情上是否能做得更好，他们还能做得更好吗?美国有一个简单的策略，它榨取和挑选最好的STEM毕业生，无论是中国人、印度人、俄罗斯人、x国人、y国人、z国人。如果你是一个重要的人，并在STEM领域做了一些开创性的工作，那么你很有可能生活在美国。美国拥有资本、力量、声望和舒适的生活条件，这是有能力的男人和女人所向往的。只要它在薪酬、生活质量、研究经费、大型科研项目和知名机构方面仍然是一个有吸引力的目的地，它就会保持优势。有些人会说优势正在消失，但我相信美国的政策制定者已经在为此努力了。重要的是他们认识到了这一点。保持这种优势很难，我相信美国人会从他们丰富的资源中找到一些吸引人的东西。

With freedom and capitalism this is how America became exceptional. ... …!! Hard workers, go getters, entreprenuers love America. People from around the world come to make better lives. Yes… millions do come for obamacare and biden open door get out the vote welfare ! For how long is the question can America be great. Democrats, the climate cult, the plutocrats of silicon valley are working over time to soil, spoil our Constitution with their corrupt crony dirty fingers. The US is 45th in the world in reading, writing and math and dropping. The left care nothing for the hard working American and they care even less for the two parent family.
有了自由和资本主义，美国就是这样变得与众不同的！工人、创业家、企业家都热爱美国。世界各地的人们来这里是为了创造更好的生活。是的，数以百万计的人来这里是为了奥巴马医改，拜登，把门打开，把福利拿出来！问题是美国能伟大多久。民主党人，气候邪教，硅谷的财阀们正在让他们腐败的亲信用肮脏的手指来玷污和破坏我们的宪法。美国在阅读、写作和数学方面排名世界第45位，而且还在下降。左派不关心辛勤工作的美国人，对双亲家庭更是漠不关心。

Japan is advanced than US because Japan is the best when it comes to electronics and automobiles. Therefore, landing in moon by US can be fake. Japan is greatest because of their robots and much more. Japan has created so many things in everyday life that you will get a shock and you will wonder that how they are so creative. US technology is past now but Japan technology is present and one and only future. Finally, the average IQ of an American is 98% but the average IQ of a Japanese is 105%. I assure you Japan will be everything in technology in upcoming future and do not think I am a Japanese, I am an Indian.
日本比美国先进，因为日本在电子产品和汽车方面是最好的。因此，美国登陆月球可能是假的。日本是最伟大的，因为他们的机器人更多。日本在日常生活中创造了如此多的东西，你会感到震惊，你会奇怪他们为什么这么有创造力。美国的技术已经过时了，但日本的技术是现在的，也是唯一的未来。最后，美国人的平均智商是98，而日本人的平均智商是105。我向你保证，在未来，日本将在技术上成为主宰，不要认为我是日本人，我是印度人。

In some ways, Japan can seem advanced in terms of technology compared to the US or some other western countries. One example might be public transport. Trains that are for the most part on time, a safe high speed rail system that crosses almost the entire country, efficient internal flights with local airports across the country. Another might be toilet technology - yes, you heard me! Japanese toilets are renowned worldwide for their advanced features and automation.
In other ways Japan can seem antiquated.
Connectivity: WiFi access is extremely limited (although this IS improving) and “Free” WiFi often involves registration, payment (or both).
Professional communication: Fax machines are often used (I like them, but they aren’t advanced!)
Banking: Banks (until recently) had very limited opening hours, and many ATMS are not available 24 hours. International money transfer can seem complex and overly complicated.
Daily life at home: Many washing machines don’t use hot water. Double glazing is rare. (Not to say that these things are essential and in fact, not having them may have benefits, but Japan feels less technologically advanced to me in this way.)
在某些方面，与美国或其他西方国家相比，日本在技术方面似乎更先进。一个例子可能是公共交通。火车大部分时间都准点，安全的高速铁路系统横跨几乎整个国家，有效的国内航班与全国各地的机场。另一个可能是厕所技术——是的，你听到了!日本厕所以其先进的功能和自动化而闻名于世。
在其他方面，日本似乎已经过时。
网络:WiFi非常有限(尽管这正在改善)，“免费”WiFi通常涉及注册和支付(或两者兼而有之)。
专业交流:经常使用传真机(我喜欢，但它们不先进!)
银行:银行的营业时间非常有限(直到最近仍是如此)，许多自动取款机都不是24小时开放的。国际汇款可能很复杂，而且过于复杂。
家庭日常生活:许多洗衣机不能用热水。双层玻璃很少见。(并不是说这些东西是必不可少的，事实上，没有它们可能会有好处，但在这方面，我觉得日本的技术没那么先进。)

Cyber security: Until recently there was little awareness of this at the governmental level and even now attempts to improve in this area appear to be little more than face-saving exercises in the face of international competition and local criticism.
Finally, where technology is often thought to be advanced, such as robotics, in reality uptake of that technology will be glacially slow compared to the USA. Japan’s robotics industry may make the news (customer service androids, robot guides at airports etc,) but for the most part it has made NO inroads in the lives of the general public.
Let me finish by saying that I am not a US citizen. I’m originally from the UK - but I did live in the US briefly some time ago and visited on business many times.
网络安全:直到最近，政府层面才意识到这一点，即使是现在，在面对国际竞争和当地批评时，在这一领域的努力似乎也不过是为了保全面子。
最后，那些通常被认为是先进的技术，如机器人技术，在现实中，对这些技术的吸收比美国缓慢得多。日本的机器人产业可能很会制造新闻(客户服务机器人、机场机器人向导等)，但在大多数情况下，它并没有进入到普通民众的生活。。
最后，我想说的是，我不是美国公民。我来自英国，但我在一段时间前曾在美国短暂居住过，并多次去美国出差。
