Lo sviluppo e l'applicazione della guida autonoma in Cina durante l'epidemia

In 2020, the world suffered from a very severe new pandemic, Covid-19. All industries have been very badly affected. Many people have been forced to isolate themselves at home, working remotely. The streets are sparsely populated, but one benefit is that traffic is not as heavy as it used to be. This has facilitated the testing and trial run of autonomous driving technology in China. Self-driving buses and taxis have been in trial operation in several cities, including Shenzhen, Suzhou and Wuhan, where citizens can ride for free by booking online through a mobile APP. At the same time, unmanned delivery vehicles and sweeper vehicles have also been used in different areas. This paper introduces the basic knowledge of autonomous driving vehicles and the status quo of R&D and testing, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of its development in China, and gives an example of the latest test results of autonomous driving. Autonomous vehicles will dominate the automotive industry for many years to come, bringing new travel experiences to consumers.
