Your calculation is way off beam.

你的计算完全错误。

《牛津词典》

The car mistakenly thought that the laser beam was in its way and slowed down or changed the direction.

And this is a very fast speed, of course, it's about 700 million miles per hour. So, one way to put that in perspective is to think about how long it takes for a light beam to get from earth to the moon. Does anyone have any guesses? Eight seconds, that sounds good.

当然这是一个非常快的速度，它大约是每小时7亿英里,为了更形象化，我们,看看光从地球到月球,需要多少时间，你们猜猜是多少？,8秒，猜的不错。

The Indian Ocean was displayed as a large sea surrounded by land, while many of his measurements of longitude (something that was very hard to measure accurately until John Harrison's timepiece won a famous competition in the 18th century) were way off beam.
