British media: Shenzhen "stepping on the accelerator" for China's autonomous car dream

On August 1st, the original title: Shenzhen "stepped on the accelerator" for the dream of Chinese autonomous driving cars on a busy city center. Three delivery bicycles suddenly rushed to the crowded cross line in front of a car. On the control screen of this car, they look like a small blue block in video games in the 1990s. The car stopped slowly, and the safety officer just looked at the co -pilot seat.

This car is an autonomous driving taxi of the autonomous driving technology company Yuan Rong Qixing. On the 1st, the road test was conducted in the densely flowing Futian center business district on the 1st day. Although the United States is considered a leading position in testing autonomous vehicles, in Shenzhen, the industry seems to be "shifting". Baidu's Apollo, Pony Zhixing invested by Toyota, Wenyuan Zhixing supported by Nissan, AUTO X and Yuan Rong Kaixing supported by Alibaba have been tested in the complex environment of Shenzhen. The test of electric scooter where or not.

Shenzhen has now introduced China's clearest self -driving automobile regulations. Beginning on August 1, registered autonomous cars will be allowed to operate within a considerable range of Shenzhen, and it is stipulated that it will provide a vital framework for the first time of the accident responsibility. If a driver's traffic accident occurs, the driver shall bear the responsibility. If a traffic accident occurs without a driver without a driver, in principle, the vehicle owner and the manager shall bear the responsibility. If the traffic accident is damaged due to defects in the car, the vehicle driver or owner or the manager compensate for compensation in accordance with regulations, and may request compensation from the vehicle producers and sellers. "If there are more (autonomous driving) cars on the road, accidents will definitely occur, so these regulations are very important for large -scale deployment." Zhou Guang, CEO of Yuan Rongqixing, said.

Zhou Guang said that in a city with a taxi of about 60 yuan, autonomous driving taxis need to reduce production costs. Enterprises such as Yuan Rong Qixing expect to reduce costs and collect data through large -scale production. On July 21, Baidu released a self -driving car, which was almost half of the previous generation of products. (Author David Calton, translated by Wenyuan)
