Inside China's Driverless RoboTaxi in Wuhan! AI Future ..

Join us as we embark on a groundbreaking journey through the bustling streets of Wuhan, China, in a driverless RoboTaxi. This episode delves into the futuristic world of autonomous vehicles, showcasing the cutting-edge technology that is reshaping urban transportation. From the moment we arrive in Wuhan’s Economic and Technology Zone, excitement builds as we prepare to experience a self-driving taxi for the very first time.
Our adventure begins with a quick setup process, involving a simple app download to order the taxi. As we approach our vehicle, we’re greeted by an impressive display of advanced technology and sleek design. With no human driver in sight, this autonomous car promises a glimpse into the future of transport. Unlocking the car with a unique code, we step inside to find a modern, tech-savvy interior, complete with screens for adjusting air conditioning and other comfort settings.
The journey kicks off with a seamless start, and we quickly find ourselves cruising through the city at a comfortable speed. Throughout the ride, the car expertly navigates various road conditions, demonstrating its ability to react to cyclists, junctions, and other common urban obstacles. Our host, familiar with self-driving technology, is thoroughly impressed by the vehicle’s smooth operation and safety features, including a safety hammer for emergencies.
As we travel, the video highlights the sophisticated AI driving the taxi. This technology not only ensures a safe and efficient ride but also enables the vehicle to autonomously recharge and reposition itself based on demand. The possibilities of this innovation are vast, with the potential to revolutionize urban transport by introducing autonomous pods for multiple passengers.
Upon reaching our destination, we reflect on the seamless experience and the remarkable advancements in autonomous vehicle technology. This video not only showcases the practical application of driverless taxis but also invites viewers to imagine the future of urban mobility. Join us for an insightful and exhilarating ride through Wuhan’s streets, as we explore the next frontier in transportation.

China future in the world 🌎

[@catttcattt]

I am in China right now. As far as I know many cities are preparing the entrance for the driverless taxi, including some of the big ones like Beijing and Shanghai. Baidu, the Chinese equivalent of Google and the owner of the taxi service in the vlog is confident that based on the current data, their taxi service is going to make money in as early as 2025. The service fee they are charging is dirty cheap comparing to that of a local taxi. This has already caused a formal petition from the taxi drivers to limit the operation hours of the driverless taxis. It is so overwhelming that a world changing revolution is happening so quietly yet so strongly just right in front of your eyes.

[@catttcattt]

@@niuwa55 国内的出租车司机能有一份不错的收入大部分的原因还是因为出租车的市场准入制度（车牌）。说白了，这是一种人为制造的供给不足状况。只要你能持有一个车牌，你就能用低价值的服务换取相对高的回报。网约车在一定程度上打破了这种垄断，但并没有完全剥夺传统出租车司机的生存空间。无人驾驶出租车将彻底革新出租车行业。但也不会不给司机留活路。现在各个城市都有规定，每三辆无人驾驶出租车都得配备一个安全员。聪明的出租车司机应该早点把牌照出掉，尽早接受无人驾驶汽车安全员的上岗培训。

Impressed and ashamed as a neighbouring Indian. Mh country would never have these, till Jesus decides to resurrect once again. Amen.

You should show the videos of these robot taxis BLOCKING TRAFFIC because they aren't able to navigate street pylons, going to the wrong destination and the passenger can't stop, or the best one, the passengers were LOCKED in the car and had to ask someone to get them out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a novel technology which means that it SHOULD be not so perfect. Will you care about the fact that cars were slower than wagon when they were invented? Will you think cars will not be the future?

[@lawrencecheung73]

@dzoendzi My argument is about the inherent SAFETY of such EV vehicles being manufactured POORLY and about SAFETY STANDARDS. I don't care WHICH car company the EV car is from. Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, BMW etc... IF THE CAR IS POORLY MADE with inferior materials which can cause danger to the passengers, then that's the issue. If cars were KNOWN to be defective and causing accidents, then I would gladly accept a horse and wagon.

That's waymo cars doing that..not tesla fsd. ​@@lawrencecheung73

America had this long before China. Waymo and Cruise robotaxi services in the US without human safety operators since 2020, the first in the world......😅

Yeah, but San Francisco and Los Angeles permitted only a few days,They waste a lot of years test and argue.

我知道你们是先有了，但对于中国来说，这将会逐渐覆盖整个国家，而不止一个地方。无人驾驶未来会全面铺开快速发展。而且美国有无人驾驶这么久了，在其他地方或城市有普及起来吗？费用便宜吗？中国这个费用比有人驾驶是来得低的。

实际他比人开车安全，所以肯定会慢一下，但是若你是赶时间建议还是找人工驾驶的出租车🤣

رحلة 17 كيلومتر ب 29 يوان صيني تساوي 4 دولار . اي 23 سنت للكيلومتر . باي باي تيسلا 😆 The trip is 17 kilometers long and costs 29 Chinese yuan, equivalent to 4 dollars. That is 23 cents per kilometre. Bye bye Tesla 😆
