The reporter from the Yangtze River Daily experienced the driverless "radish running", got on and off at a fixed point, and only take the row by car

On the afternoon of the 12th, I turned on the mobile phone applet and called a self -driving car. A few minutes later, a car without a driver rushed. The plot in science fiction movies has become a reality here.

There is no one in the main driver's position, but the steering wheel can rotate independently; sitting in the back row without a seat belt, the display screen jumps out immediately. It will stop before stopping the line, and will not grab it ... This is the scene witnessed when the reporter experienced no "radish running" that day.

On the 9th, some citizens left a message on the Wuhan City Message Board that they learned that "radish running" is about to open operations in Wuhan Mountain New City. He downloaded the "radish fast run" APP. At about 23:00 on August 8th, he opened the app at the door of the company in Junshan New City, but found that the app prompts himself "not within the scope of operation". Several places on the car point showed a gray font and could not place an order.

The reporter called the "Radish Run" customer service and learned that "radish running" was open to citizens in the Junshan New City area on August 11.

At 16:30 on August 12, the reporter opened the "Radish Run" APP. When a citizen took a taxi in the APP, he could only set up the nearby point in the app. The reporter called a self -driving car at the "Two Army East Road West Bay Bay Power Station" at the "East Bay Bay of the Two Army" and set the destination in the national intelligent connected car (Wuhan) test demonstration area.

After about 5 minutes, a self -driving vehicle stopped after driving at the vehicle point. There is an electronic keyboard on the rear window of the car. The reporter entered the last 4 digits of the mobile phone number. The system prompts that "the unlocking is successful" and the door is unlocked.

The reporter opened the door and saw that the front seat of the vehicle was equipped with an electronic display. The reporter forgot that the seat belt clicked on the "departure" button on the electronic display. At this time, the display prompts "the back row seat belt is not tied". After the reporter was on the seat belt, the system prompted "prepare for departure", and the vehicle started immediately.

There are multiple buttons on the display, which can display information such as current driving routes and entire navigation maps. You can click on the music, and you can also adjust the temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner in the car.

The reporter noticed that during the driving process, it can automatically identify the traffic lights, and it will automatically whistle when there is a vehicle in front of it. When you encounter the countdown of the green light, you will stop steadily before stopping the line without snatching.

After about 15 minutes, the vehicle arrived at the destination. The itinerary shows that the order of the order is 3.2 kilometers and the estimated valuation is 22 yuan. After deducting the discount, the reporter actually paid about 2 yuan. The reporter got out of the car, and the car stopped for a short time.

The reporter learned from the "radish running" customer service that at present, the Junshan New Town area is deducted at a discount of 1 % at the actual cost.

It is reported that at the end of June this year, the "radish running" opened a pilot pilot to open commercialization in some areas of the third to fourth ring line of Wuhan Economic Development Zone, and the vehicles were equipped with safety officers. This time, the "radish fast running" opened to the citizens in Junshan New City area is a pilot vehicle of unmanned commercialization.

In the case of maintaining the distance, if there is an emergency change in front, the driverless shared car will take emergency measures such as brakes and horn. If you have emergency needs such as getting off the bus and changing the itinerary, passengers can also contact the staff by clicking the button in the upper right corner of the electronic screen.
