Riding an Autonomous Bus ON THE CITY STREETS in China (Xiaoyu 2.0)

I had the pleasure of going for a ride in the new Xiaoyu 2.0 Autonomous bus on the streets of Zhengzhou, China.
Riding an autonomous bus through Zhengzhou, China, offers a glimpse into the future of urban mobility, showcasing the swift advances in autonomous transportation technologies. Yutong's autonomous bus, a symbol of progress, embodies the integration of cutting-edge design and technology to enhance urban transportation experiences.
The Yutong driverless bus is distinguished by its sleek design, prioritizing passenger comfort with expansive glass panels for panoramic city views. It's equipped with advanced sensors like radars, cameras, and LiDARs, providing real-time data for safe navigation through Zhengzhou’s bustling streets. The interior design focuses on flexibility, offering modular seating, USB ports, and screens for passenger convenience.
Demonstrating remarkable situational awareness, the Yutong bus smoothly navigates urban challenges, from lane changes to unpredictable pedestrian actions, showcasing a significant safety improvement over traditional buses. Its autonomous system is designed for quick response, ensuring passenger safety and contributing to more efficient urban traffic flow.
Yutong's bus is not just about technology; it's also about user experience. Accessibility features like code, voice, and facial recognition entry complement the comfortable interiors, equipped with air conditioning, ample seating, and connectivity options, promising an enjoyable ride for all passengers.
The introduction of autonomous buses like Yutong’s in urban settings promises reduced traffic congestion, more efficient public transport systems, and lower emissions, contributing to sustainable city living. However, it also raises questions about employment in the transportation sector and the need for new legal frameworks to ensure privacy and safety.
The public’s enthusiastic response to autonomous buses underscores a growing acceptance and curiosity about autonomous technology. The flexibility of this technology opens up possibilities for various transportation needs, from corporate to school buses, indicating a transformative future for urban mobility.

I haven’t visited China in 3 years and this tech that you see in movies is actually a thing here. I live in Hawaii and it’s taken literal decades for us to build a sky rail network for public transportation (projected completion will be in 2035) It’s so frustrating seeing how things are so slow here in the states while other countries are booming with tech and infrastructure.

[@2727daqwid]

Europe had it's time in innovation (although we mostly thought about more and more effective ways of killing each other for progressively dumber reasons), then US took prime, with mix of military and civil progress in technology, and I suppose now it's Asian time. I assume and hope that SA and Africa are next. Also, Asia was always a bit ahead in technology, and I suppose their culture and society has something to do with it, embracing progress. West has a bit different ideals, and we have mostly older population, so that also doesn't help.

We need a mixture of sizes. Lots of rides need one or two passenger vehicles. It doesn't make sense to do door to door transportation with a 10 to 12 passenger vehicle. Larger capacity vehicles are best for fixed routes. And it's best to run with as few empty seats as possible. Moving mass takes energy.

What Tesla is doing is different. The bus is limited to roads that have been carefully mapped and the maps have to be kept up to date.

[@jackji2007]

no, if you see green lights in front of bus, there is no left arrow in green though. i think those two cars were legally driving.

[@JoshSZHANG]

In simple intersections straight and left turns share the same green light. Left turn just yields to the straight from the opposite direction, as the bus did.

[@Runningbowels]

From the video, there is a left turn arrow for the bus. Doesn't this give the rights to the bus to make the turn? I understand if the light is not an arrow but a circular green, then the bus has to yield to oncoming traffic before making the turn. *Edit - adding Since this is in China, the rules may be different. In the US, the car making the left turn will have the right of way if there is a left green arrow. If it is just a circular green, then the car making the left turn has to yield to oncoming traffic before making the turn.

The road environment there is about as different as it's possible to get from where I live, a tiny country town in the Cotswolds in the UK where there's scarcely a straight road and it's necessary to navigate through very narrow streets with parked cars. That's before you even think about a city like London, which does not have vast, wide empty roads on a grid, but a massively complex tangle of very crowded roads, pedestrians everywhere, builders skips on the roads and a myriad of difficult to navigate situations. In contrast, those roads in China are like a wide open desert land with a tiny handful of other vehicles. That's not to say that it isn't very impressive, but I would still be astonished to see this mini-bus being able to navigate through London, even with a few more years of development.
