Chapter 2851 The taxi of the future will not have a driver

How is this different from the functions in the navigation app we use? Susie couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

When Susie asked, Peng Gong smiled and explained: “The function and purpose are the same, which is to provide the public with surrounding information services.

However, our system is more in line with the actual needs of users and will help users filter out some unnecessary information. And the entire push mechanism is more intelligent. It is like your personal assistant helping you to filter, and the selected ones are all in line with your actual needs.

Unlike other navigation apps, it only pushes based on search results or based on bidding. "

Having said this, Peng Gong clicked on the canopy display screen above his head, and then said: "The more important thing is that the information it pushes is more comprehensive and more practical. It will distribute the information about the same location on dozens of platforms. The information is synthesized and the necessary information is screened and displayed, so that our users do not need to jump to more than a dozen platforms. They only need to click here and all the useful information about this location will be displayed."

"To give a simple example, if we want to choose a restaurant to dine, the intelligent system will automatically filter out your favorite restaurant or flavor, or other requirements.

For example, if you like Sichuan cuisine or Huaiyang cuisine, you will have to worry about the restaurant's environment, meal price standards, taste of the dishes, signature dishes, whether the restaurant has parking spaces, or whether there are no parking spaces nearby, etc. display.

And that feature cannot yet be used in conjunction with the intelligent driving system. Before he chooses that restaurant, the vehicle will automatically drive to the door of that restaurant. When he gets in, the vehicle will automatically drive to the parking space and park. When he is having dinner, he only needs to click to call the vehicle, and the vehicle will automatically come to the door of the restaurant to pick him up and get off when he walks out of the restaurant. "

In that case, it is quite convenient, and it really solves your pain point of parking in the city. Peng Gong nodded when he heard this and said: "Just like you, when you don't have time to go to a restaurant to eat, if there is no parking space, you need to drive your car to a parking lot far away and then walk over. So over time, you are too lazy to drive out in the city. Taking a taxi is less convenient than driving.”

Yes, Susie nodded and said: "The technical staff on your team hate that function very much, and they are all rushing to test it during the test. Very few people are lazy and don't even drive yet. They just let those equipment go after work every day. Your vehicles with low-level autonomous driving systems come to pick up and drop off in reverse, which is called a regression test."

So in the future, taxi drivers and online ride-hailing drivers will be unemployed. Xing Ting was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Qian's answer, and then asked.

In addition, after the L-level fully autonomous driving technology has not yet been commercialized, the coverage of the L4-level autonomous driving system is unlimited, which means that it has coverage blind spots, and unmanned taxis and online hailing services The car is completely affected.

However, when the vehicle is carrying passengers, the vehicle will give priority to completing the task of receiving orders, and then respond to the owner's call. "

Why? It’s not that whether it’s a human-driven taxi or a human-driven online ride-hailing service, all of them rely on artificial intelligence. Although they are stupid, they are only stupid, so their service is bad, but they are warm and considerate enough. .

As long as you purchase a vehicle and obtain operating qualifications, taxis and online ride-hailing vehicles equipped with low-level autonomous driving systems cannot be relegated to manned operation. Drivers are needed, and those vehicles cannot complete the entire process of receiving orders and transporting passengers.

The first thing is not the cost. The cost of the L4 low-end autonomous driving system is not cheap. Whether taxis and online ride-hailing can be used has not yet been verified in practice. "That question is very sensitive. If the answer is bad, it may cause a very small controversy. So Xing Ting glanced at the man with a gorgeous face behind her, then smiled and shook her head and said: "Yes, for sure, the kind of manned taxi in the future Although there will be fewer and fewer cars and online ride-hailing services, they cannot completely replace drivers.

Of course, the whole process will affect the car owner's own use, and the car owner has no unlimited rights to use it. Car owners can not reset the relevant settings according to their own needs, nor can they use one-click calling to call the vehicle to themselves.

After saying that, Su Qian glanced at Peng Gong, and then changed her tone and said: "Of course, that function may spawn many taxi companies or online ride-hailing companies in the future.

On the other hand, carrying passengers for a long time will shorten the life of the vehicle and accelerate the aging of the facilities and equipment in the vehicle, so car owners will definitely refuse.

Haha, after hearing Su Qian's words, Xing Ting couldn't help but laugh. Then she suddenly thought of something, and then asked Su Xi: "Speaking of which, you actually rang. Mr. Wu said at the press conference That car can’t take orders, carry passengers, and support itself, is that true?”

It only accepts orders and carries passengers, and it cannot go to a charging station to recharge or go to a gas station to refuel. It can even go to an automatic car wash to wash the car.

So when he sees whether taxis have drivers in the future, he must be surprised. That will be very common. In fact, the current technical aspects are most fully mature, and what is lacking are industry technical standards, as well as the formulation and promulgation of corresponding regulations and management standards. "

No, it is not the kind of manned taxis and online ride-hailing that have certain restrictions. For example, they are limited to certain regions. As long as they exceed that area, they can move across regions, such as driving from the Northeast to the South China Sea, and from Western Xinjiang. In Shanghai, those are possible. But unmanned taxis and online ride-hailing can't, as long as he wants to.

Only until those problems can be solved can the dream of allowing private cars to become public transportation and allowing the vehicles to support themselves can be realized. "

Su Qian smiled and nodded and said: "It's true. As long as you get the authorization from the car owner and cooperate with the relevant platform, the car can't go out to pick up orders and carry passengers on its own, and it becomes a manned online car." Book a ride.

Speaking of that, Su Qian said in a gentle tone: "Yes, many car owners may not be willing to do that. On the one hand, a small number of car owners may be disgusted with having their private vehicles so public, allowing fewer people to ride on them. That way It's too hygienic.

Again, this is not related to laws and regulations. It is still at a blank stage in this regard. How to regulate and how to formulate corresponding industry standards and regulations are also issues that need to be studied and thought about.

Nowadays, few boys feel scared when taking a taxi or an online car-hailing service late at night. Without the manned taxis and online car-hailing services, children are just scared because there is no one outside the car. That would A small increase in its sense of danger.
