【北京无人驾驶出租车真的来了,免费试用你敢坐吗?】https://m.qctt.cn/news/844225



北京无人驾驶出租车真的来了,免费试用你敢坐吗?

车与舆

盖有奇人,食有鱼,出有车,然则鱼与熊掌不可兼得。车与舆可兼得乎?
相信很多人都在一些电影中看到过这样的场景,人们出门都乘坐着炫酷的太空舱,完全不需要司机,车上更没有方向盘,全部都是自动驾驶,不仅速度快还不会担心堵车和交通事故,非常炫酷。而全球的顶尖科技公司,也都在为了这一目标而努力着,国内的阿里、腾讯和百度都已经布局,并且争分夺秒的在研发着。



今日,百度发布重大新闻,北京地区的无人驾驶取得重大成就,并且开始了正式的无人驾驶出租车业务,所有海淀和亦庄的乘客,均可以免费乘坐,并且不需要预约,即到即试。消息一出便引发了热议,很多网友纷纷表示想要去尝试一下最新的科技,当然也有人表示担忧,不过根据现阶段的信息来看,无人驾驶出租车其实只是某块区域短距离的一种行程,并且这些路段已经经过了超长时间和次数的测试,可以保障安全。



在未来,百度还将扩大北京地区的试用范围,长沙、广州和沧州等地区也将陆续展开应用示范,目前百度已经走在了自动驾驶的最前沿,是全球首个量产的自动驾驶乘用车运营方案。



早在2016年百度就已经布局了“车路协同”的研发路线,历经N个版本和方案的更迭,Apollo的技术水准、成本控制等各方面已经占据了全球前列。在过去很多人认为百度在科技端的贡献偏小,质疑其“伟大”程度,而这一次百度也为自己正名,作出了强有力的回击,目前一些主流的汽车厂商,比如宝马、戴姆勒和丰田等等,都已经和百度建立了一个比较深层次的战略合作,从软件到硬件组建了完整的供应链。

自动驾驶是目前汽车行业最大的课题和技术难关,倘若百度真的能够站在风口改变世界,那么BAT的历史地位恐怕将发生一个全新的改变。

Beijing driverless taxis are really here, do you dare to take the free trial?

Gai Youqi people, eat fish, go out and have a car, but fish and bear's paw cannot have both. Can the car and the public have both?
I believe that many people have seen such scenes in some movies. People are riding in cool space capsules when they go out. There is no need for a driver, and there is no steering wheel in the car. All of them are automatic driving. Not only are they fast, but they don’t worry about it. Traffic jams and traffic accidents are very cool. And the world's top technology companies are also working hard for this goal. Domestic Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu have all deployed and are racing against time in research and development.



Today, Baidu released a major news. The unmanned driving in Beijing has made significant achievements and started the official unmanned taxi business. All passengers in Haidian and Yizhuang can ride for free and do not need to make an appointment. . As soon as the news came out, there was heated discussion. Many netizens expressed their desire to try the latest technology. Of course, some people also expressed concern. However, according to the information at this stage, the driverless taxi is actually only a short distance in a certain area. A kind of itinerary, and these sections have been tested for a long time and many times, which can guarantee safety.



In the future, Baidu will expand the scope of trials in Beijing, and Changsha, Guangzhou and Cangzhou will also launch application demonstrations. At present, Baidu is at the forefront of autonomous driving and is the world's first mass-produced autonomous driving passenger. Car operation plan.



As early as 2016, Baidu had already laid out a “vehicle-road synergy” research and development route. After N versions and program changes, Apollo's technical standards, cost control and other aspects have occupied the forefront of the world. In the past, many people thought that Baidu’s contribution to the technology side was small and questioned its “greatness” degree. This time Baidu also rectified its name and made a strong response. At present, some mainstream car manufacturers, such as BMW, Daimler and Toyota, etc., have established a relatively in-depth strategic cooperation with Baidu, forming a complete supply chain from software to hardware.

Autonomous driving is currently the biggest issue and technical difficulty in the automotive industry. If Baidu can really change the world at the frontline, then the historical status of BAT will probably undergo a brand new change.

Already running in Wuhan

Dun worry. Sinkapore using angmor Motorola 5G which is only 4.5G in real terms. Self driving car system requires real 5G.

Sinkies can sleep well their Grab driver job is safe
 
It's cool & no harm in experimentations, coz that's how Humankind will progress, BUT do consider the CONSEQUENCES carefully before adoption en mass :-

1.) It is NO change from the current taxi system. The only difference is that one no longer sees a taxi driver in the driver seat, as the taxi driver is replaced by another at a control site center, employment of taxi drivers may be the same,

However, if one taxi driver is to handle 3 taxis at the same time......focus will be lost & may endanger passengers....


2) As such cars are electronically controlled, far more than an usual taxi, WHO will pay for damages done? No mechanical part is perfect, & flaws do occur. The programmers whom built such software into such systems, or the manufacturer whom built such hardware? And how much would insurance firms take up such risks as well as the costs which will be either passed on to companies or most likely to customers?

Don't worry, there will be upheaval in China because of this. The death throes of a dying regime. :cool:
 

Elon Musk’s Net Worth Drops $11 Billion After Tesla Reportedly Delays Robotaxi Launch​

Elon Musk’s estimated net worth fell about $11 billion Thursday after Tesla’s share price dipped for the first time in over two weeks, with a sharp drop coming after a Bloomberg report was published saying the automaker decided to delay the launch of its robotaxi service.


Tesla’s stock fell by nearly 7% to just over $245 as of around 2:40 p.m., putting it on pace for its first day of losses since June 24 and its biggest plunge since at least March 4, when the share price fell by over 7%.

The value of Musk’s roughly 13% stake in the company declined to $176.8 billion from $188.2 billion when trading closed Wednesday, after the 11-session rally increased his stake’s value by about $56 billion.

Tesla will postpone the launch of its robotaxi from August to October because the company wants to rework the vehicle, unnamed people familiar with the decision told Bloomberg.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

KEY POINTS
  • China's yearslong effort to develop robotaxis is starting to gain traction with consumers —but it's also rattling taxi drivers worried about losing their jobs as a result of increasing competition.
  • Baidu's robotaxi unit Apollo Go became one of the top 10 trending hashtags on social media platform Weibo on Wednesday amid reports of rapid user adoption in Wuhan city, where the company began operating fully staffless vehicles in certain districts 24/7 in March.
  • China had more than 7 million registered ride-hailing drivers as of the end of May, roughly twice as many versus the 3.51 million drivers reported for July 2021, according to the Ministry of Transport.
More than 70% of Baidu Apollo Go robotaxi rides in Wuhan were fully driverless as of April, and the company said in May it expected 100% of the rides to be completely autonomous in coming quarters.

Tesla robotaxi won't be ready for scale until 2030: Analyst​

In This Article:
Tesla (TSLA) shares are trading higher on Friday despite a Bloomberg report indicating a two-month delay in unveiling the company's highly anticipated robotaxi. Guggenheim Securities director of automotive equity research Ron Jewsikow joins Catalysts to discuss Tesla's future prospects.

Jewsikow calls the robotaxi plans as "a massive pivot" for Tesla, marking a shift from the company's previous focus on making electric vehicles more affordable. He notes that the robotaxi event announcement came on the heels of Tesla's decision to delay or cancel its "next-generation platform," mounting more pressure on the robotaxi project to be a success.

A full-scale launch "prior to 2030 is unlikely," Jewsikow says about a realistic timeline for the robotaxi release date. Jewsikow views the period leading up to 2030 as a testing phase: "post-2030 is when this is a meaningful contributor to the business, and I would say even probably well into the 2030s before this is even at scale."
