Starting from August 1, driverless cars will be legal on the roads of Shenzhen.
The Regulation on the Management of Intelligent Connected Vehicles in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (HEREINAFTER referred to as the Regulation) will take effect on August 1, according to the official account "Shenzhen Release" of the Information Office of shenzhen Municipal People's Government. It is reported that this is the first legislation in China to specify the definition of autonomous driving of intelligent connected vehicles, market access rules, right of way, and recognition of rights and responsibilities.
From the publication of the draft for comments in January 2021 to the official draft this time, Shenzhen has once again demonstrated "Shenzhen speed" in the high-tech field. But driverless cars as a new thing, in the end driverless road is not reliable?
Max said Tesla would be the world's largest robotics company. "Our cars are like semi-aware robots on wheels."
In other words, autonomous driving is not just an accessory to the car, but the computing power, algorithm, perception, execution and even data related to autonomous driving can become the core ability of AI to open up more vertical fields.
I believe that not only Xiaomi and Baidu, which launched their robot products in the same month as Tesla, will agree with this view, but also many technology giants.
Building cars or robots
What is the ultimate form of the future car? No steering wheel, no human driving; In the car, there is no driver, passenger seat, passengers only need to relax sitting, lying in the car; All it takes is voice to communicate with the car... As a form of robot, cars will eventually evolve into car robots and be used by people.
On August 18, 2021, Robin Li unveiled the Apollo "Car Robot" at the Baidu World Conference, while the robot concept car made its debut. Externally, automatic gull wing doors and an all-glass roof are integrated with external sensors. Inside, the car robot has no steering wheel, pedals, super-large curved screen, intelligent console, modified glass, zero-gravity seats and other intelligent configurations.
Serve Robotics, Uber's Postmates spin-off Robotics division, introduced a new generation of delivery robots with automatic emergency braking, vehicle collision avoidance and fail-safe redundant mechanical braking, in an attempt to create a new category of robots with L4 levels of autonomy. The robot successfully made tens of thousands of deliveries in Los Angeles last year.
Earlier, Lei jun gave an annual speech with the theme of "My dream, my choice" to celebrate xiaomi's 11th anniversary. In addition to the release of mobile phones, tablets and other products, Xiaomi also launched a blockbuster new product, the first bionic quadruped robot "Iron Egg".

Established self-driving companies, new car makers, and the world's most valuable oems are all releasing robots. Even if it is by chance, there must be deep internal connections.
Standing in the heights of artificial intelligence in the future, the boundaries of cars, unmanned driving and robots will become increasingly blurred. With the impact of the wave of robot technology, it is believed that in the near future, driverless vehicles will have more customers, and people can also free their hands, so that autonomous driving quietly from science fiction to reality.
The most important point is that cars and traffic travel are closely related to people's safety. All enterprises should regard the safety of autonomous driving technology as the starting point of all technology research and development and commercial promotion.
