China’s driverless truck hoping to expand

They went out of the highway between Beijing and Tianjin’s port: the large truck, loaded and can navigate themselves.

Of course, according to state rules, there are security drives in the seats, but these trucks do not require them and say that many analysts will not be long before leaving.

“Security driver” Huo Kangtian, 32, first removes his hand from the wheel and removes the truck driver, somehow worried in impressive and equal events.

It is complete for the initial stages of the journey. Then – at a certain point – a few keys and strong, heavy machinery manages itself, moving rapidly along the public road to Tianjin.

“Of course, I was a bit scared for the first time I drove an autonomous truck,” Mr Huo said. “But after you have observed these machines and tested, I think they are in fact very good and safe.”

As Lorry is on the side of the road and a decline towards the toll doors, the machine still manages itself. On the other side of Tollgate, Mr. Huo presses several buttons and he is responsible again.

“My job as a security driver is to act as a final defensive line. For example, in case of emergency, I would have to return the vehicle immediately to ensure everyone’s safety,” he said.

For a driver, the transition to the autonomous mode in terms of the above can help you to combat stress and fatigue and release your feet for other tasks. He says it is more interesting, not boring.

When this technology is worried about whether the work of one day is worried, he says he did not know much about it.

Is a diplomatic response.

The driver’s fleet, which operates in these test routes, is not only the start of this test routes, the company’s vice president Li Hengyu BBC reports.

“In the future, our transport efficiency with driverless operations will be very improved,” he says. “For example, labor expenditures will be reduced, but more importantly, we can fight the harsh environment and long hours.”

All this is a professor of Shanghai Jiaotong University technology, which has extensive experience in driving technology, which has a wide range of boiling, industrial specialist Yang Ruigang, China and the United States.

“Something that could reduce operating costs is something that a company will be, so it is quite easy to have a driverless drive,” he said.

In short, he goal is simple: “Apply the driver’s price closer to zero.”

However, important obstacles remain before the truck is not allowed to drive themselves on the roads – at least this is a public concern.

In China, self-driving technology, after the vehicle was in the “Auto pilot” mode, there was a large decline after a accident that killed three university students.

Economist Intelligence Association Analyst Chim Lee said that the Chinese community still has a way to go before the winner.

“Last accidents related to access machines, caused a great noise in China. Thus, for the driverless trucks, it will be more specific to certain places for certain places, as well as for their image and market and market.”

Professor Yang accepts the work of truck drivers is less likely to lose a large number of work.

“We need to discuss the context. Open environment? Probably no.

Hundreds of Drive Delivery Minibus in the Anhui Province of East China – a city with a city of Hefei – a city with a population of eight million – man-run scooters and cars.

This was one of the poorest cities in the country, but these days he wants his government as a future place, new technology is ready to give a chance.

The autonomous vehicle company, Rino.AI President Gary Huang, the driverless companies of driverless vans, said they found a market sign that could send parcels from large distribution centers to local neighborhood stations. At this point, scooters seize throwing packages to the front doors of people.

“While the autonomous minibuses are repeated, while driving longer distance visits, we allow the couriers inside the apple areas. This is managing long-distance visits. This increases the efficiency of the whole system,” he says.

Rino also speaks with other countries and the company’s fastest education will begin to use it in Australia, this year.

Meanwhile, they now say that more than 500 minibuses, which are now road access in more than 50 cities.

But Hefei remains the most advanced.

In addition to Rino, the city was allowed to work with other driverless minibus companies.

Gary Huang says this is due to the combination of factors.

“Promoting the government, acquiring local experience, experience, cleaning the rules and eventually implemented a broader implementation.”

You can see them on the roads by changing them in the roads, changing the variable stripes and avoiding other traffic.

Numbers for courier companies tell the story.

According to the Regional Director of Rinin, Zhang Gichen, not only faster, but companies can hire three autonomous electric supply vans for days without charge for the same value as a driver.

He says that you are blown up with the pace of change in its industry and the heavy, long-lasting trucks will not surprise themselves in the roads in certain conditions for five years.

Professor Yang agrees. “Heavy trucks work along a highway at least five years away.”

Soon when asked if he could happen so much, “I am sure that this will happen. In fact, I am sure that this will happen.”

Industrial insides, the closest applications for the closest applications for driving trucks – except for open mines or ports, unlike in extreme environmental conditions, it is very far from extreme environmental conditions, and mostly distant in a flat trajectory.

There are also important technical problems.

We need better cameras to detect heavy trucks more than the road more than the road more than the road; There must be additional sensors along the route on the more difficult roads; Other obstacles may include excessive weather or unexpected dangers that occur in extreme weather conditions or very busy traffic.

Technology on all this – when it comes to heavy trucks – is still not cheap. In addition, these vehicles currently change the older style trucks than their self-controlled vehicles outside the production line.

China wants to become a new technological champion, but it should be careful not to see how the potential of fatal accidents can also look at this turn.

“It’s not just fulfilling the rules. It’s not just setting up something other than building a public image,” said Chim Lee. “Once over time, see how this technology will see the benefits of how to imagine how to imagine how to improve the society to improve the expenses or improving the company or eliminate employment opportunities.”

Professor Yang sees another problem. “We can stand another human driver who makes people wrong, but we have tolerance for autonomous trucks. The cars do not have to make mistakes. Thus, we must make sure the system is extremely secure.”
