Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about unmanned driving, the last time we went to experience the carrot run, but we found that there were people in the cockpit, what is unmanned driving? After searching through a lot of posts, we decided to go to Pony.ai to experience a driverless car without a safety officer.
The first is the waiting time, this time we hit Pony.ai The waiting time is two minutes, and the waiting time for the last Carrot Run is 17 minutes, and in terms of waiting time, Pony.ai is shorter.
In terms of ride comfort, Carrot Run and Pony.ai can be said to be a "tie". The space is very loose, but the sound insulation effect inside Pony.ai is better than that of the radish run, and the Pony.ai car is Lexus, and the interior is relatively luxurious.
In terms of speed, Pony.ai took 20 minutes to travel 5 kilometers and 16 minutes to run. The fare is 1 yuan to 3.29 yuan.
When discussing the innovation of modern mobility, it is not difficult to find that the working conditions of ride-hailing and taxi drivers are undergoing unprecedented changes. In fact, Mr. Zhou Hongyi has a point of view: selling driverless cars to online car-hailing drivers or individuals at 200,000 yuan or other prices, in the past, they often had to endure high-intensity work pressure, driving for a long time without regard for their basic physiological needs, this "desperate Saburo" type of work mode undoubtedly poses a serious threat to physical health. Now, if driverless cars can be sold to individuals, as mentioned above, drivers will be able to free themselves from this exhaustion and no longer have to neglect their basic needs for water, meals and even toilets in a hurry, which is undoubtedly a great boon for their physical and mental health.
Thinking further, although driverless vehicles do not need to be driven by humans, their daily operation and maintenance are also indispensable. Tasks such as vehicle cleaning and regular maintenance provide a new career path for the transformed drivers. This arrangement not only creates more stable and decent job opportunities for drivers, but also saves valuable human resource costs for technology companies like Baidu.
For consumers, the benefits are clear: they are able to ride in a cleaner vehicle and no longer have to worry about refusal or dumping due to human factors, thus improving the overall travel experience. This is undoubtedly a win-win situation for enterprises, drivers and consumers.
While enjoying the convenience brought by autonomous driving technology, the public has also expressed great concern about its safety and responsibility. Taking the Radish Run as an example, a recent traffic accident in Wuhan has once again sparked heated discussions in the society. In response to such problems, local governments are actively promulgating relevant policies and regulations to clarify the division of responsibility of autonomous vehicles in traffic accidents.
Beijing, another important city after Shenzhen and Hangzhou, officially promulgated local regulations related to autonomous driving on June 30 this year, providing more solid legal support for the development of autonomous driving technology.
In addition, the issue of "license plates" for driverless vehicles has also sparked extensive discussions. Unlike traditional vehicles, driverless vehicles do not hold a vehicle license plate in the traditional sense, but a special mark called a "demonstration application license". The license is designed to strengthen the supervision and data collection of autonomous vehicles to ensure their safe and orderly operation. At the same time, through the display of conspicuous locations such as car windows, the demonstration application license plate is also convenient for regulators and the public to quickly identify and supervise autonomous vehicles.
Looking to the future, the widespread spread of autonomous driving technology will have a profound impact on the fabric of society. Many industries that have traditionally relied on human driving, such as driving schools and transportation companies, may face unprecedented challenges and transformational pressures. However, as Mr. Zhou Hongyi said, "We do science and technology for the benefit of mankind in the end." "How to bring benefits to more people with autonomous driving technology is actually a question we should think about.
In the face of the opportunities and challenges brought by autonomous driving technology, we should actively consider how to apply it to a wider range of fields to create more social value and well-being. For example, by optimizing traffic flow, reducing traffic accidents, and improving travel efficiency, autonomous driving technology is expected to bring a more convenient, safe, and comfortable travel experience to urban residents.
At the same time, by promoting the transformation, upgrading and innovative development of related industrial chains, unmanned driving technology will also inject new impetus and vitality into economic growth.
