It is impossible to verify when the term "self-driving tour" was born in China, but it is probably about 10 years ago, and it will not be earlier.
In my personal understanding of self-driving travel, it was not common more than a decade ago. Even if there is, it is a relatively niche way of traveling, and joining a tour group is the mainstream way of traveling for most people.
Today, almost most people should have had a 3-5 day short self-driving trip experience, and a considerable number of people have begun to try and enthusiastically take long-distance self-driving trips.
Look at the small holidays every year now, driving out has become extremely common, and the traffic everywhere is not busy.
To achieve "self-driving travel", you must basically cross several thresholds before you can really enter the homes of ordinary people.
1, the number of private cars is increasing. (The Material Basis of a Road Trip)
2. More and more people have car driver's licenses. (Formerly a profession, now it's a skill.) ）
3, the road construction is getting better and better. (Safer and more convenient to travel by car)
4. Solve the problem of navigation to unfamiliar areas. (To achieve accurate navigation of the phone)
5, the rapid increase in national income so that more and more people can choose a different way of travel.
6. Traditional tourism and self-driving travel are not the same experience. (The demand for spiritual and cultural life has increased)
The epidemic in the past two years has also made the convenient and safe way of travel of self-driving travel penetrate into thousands of households more quickly, and the rapid promotion of the upgrading of Chinese people's tourism travel mode has also led to a new wave of development trends in the relevant industrial chain.
Because of the private car to open the self-driving tour, everyone can have more freedom to plan the travel route, and the places that were once accessible by train, airport or even bus are no longer a problem that bothers us.
Self-driving tours allow us to choose to give up the so-called popular attractions and popular cities, and start to go to the real mountain fields, get close to nature, see the real beautiful landscape and feel the long-lost rural atmosphere.
Of course, there are two sides to everything, and many friends will also have various concerns about self-driving trips. Among them, many friends will feel that self-driving travel is very tired, let's talk about the "tired" and "not tired" things in self-driving travel.

3. Tired eyes
Because of its convenience, self-driving tours can not only go where the most beautiful places to go, where few people go, but also walk into the internet red city and punch in the popular attractions.
