Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Self-driving robotaxis are taking off in China
Nowadays, more people prefer taking a driverless taxi or ride-share service because of coronavirus pandemic. Even after the mass vaccination, many people may choose non-contact services when they place a food order, buy a ticket, and take a ride. Also, autonomous driving, though still only under limited situations, has become a standard or optional feature of new vehicles. So, it is not surprising that you are stopped by a taxi that doesn’t have a driver when you hailed or called. Robo-taxies. You might have seen them in movies for some time but you probably will see them on the road soon. Technologies are there and software has been tuned to drive under the local conditions. In fact, one Chinese Alibaba-supported start-up has rolled out fully driverless robo-taxis downtown Shenzhen, China’s high-tech capital. The company says whether their autonomous taxis become available in other cities is now up to the local regulators. It was not announced whether the 25 autonomous robo-taxis recognize instructions only in Chinese but service robots can be multilingual quite easily.
Electric, autonomous, and driver-less cars are going to be seen on the road soon.
Enjoy reading the article and seeing the video clip to learn about China’s high-tech breakthrough.
