Maybe where you were standing is considered “bus zone” so the robot went over a bit to make sure it wont block buses potentially behind it to go into the station
I was at an intersection that is adjacent to a bus zone. A taxi would have stopped at the intersection. I don't expect a taxi or a robot taxi to stop in the bus zone.
These AI cars are still being tested on a small scale, so there will be human drivers sitting there to prevent accidents. In several other small cities in China with relatively uncomplicated traffic, these AI cars have been completely unmanned.
Reminder: The parking place is a bus station. According to traffic rules, taxis cannot park at that location, so it drives forward a little before parking
My pick up point wasn’t the bus station it was the corner restaurant next to the intersection I was standing at. A taxi driver would stop prior to the bus stop at the intersection out of the way of traffic.
@@Eric_Garrison Because you're standing in front of where the buses come in, a cab parked there will keep large buses from coming in. So park in front of where the bus stops exit.
Advancing towards no endgame perhaps? I don't know why we consider this necessary other than justifying jobs for postgraduate students of robotics paying off their student debt. I really enjoy Uber drivers who generally are from different parts of the world with honest knowledge to share while driving you to your destination.
yes, replace all workers with robots... get rid of all the pesky, self entitled, always asking for more money humans... the right wing capitalist wet dream.
interesting to see robotaxi in China. I have never taken Waymo in San Francisco, but have seen few. For Waymo, there is no human on the front seat at all. And it drives pretty aggressively. Changes lane quite often, like what I would do. I actually followed them few times and drove on its side to take a look. It is quite impressive. Also, there is no camera inside of Waymo. Local newspaper has reported that in few occation, waymo has to call police to check on the people in the car, because there is no camera. In all cases, it is because passenger was sleeping. I was in Shanghai in March/April. It was very difficult to get taxi. Not sure what is happening in ShenZhen. Cheer. Have fun in China.
in order for unmanned vehicles to work, you need 100% uninterrupted coverage which is rare to do in the US because of different service providers for different areas. the safety officer is there just for something "unforeseen".
cool video, I've seen videos of Waymo, the exterior of the Jaguar they used is quite weird as there are huge sensors all over the car which made it a real "robo-car", this HongQi looks more subtle like a regular car but it seemed the Ai is playing is more safe and seemed less accurate on the pick up spot lol I guess both need some work to be done... anyways, speaking of aggressive taxi drivers, if u r still in Shenzhen, might as well crossing the border and check out the real mad taxi drivers in Hong Kong and Macau lol 😂
It will be the slowest in the world, as in a normall city half of the drivers will try to overtake you, sneak into the traffic blocking you etc. - and as the robot will keep distance of some predetermined centimetres to not cause a crash - it will always be overtaken and blocked, as a result noone will use it.
i assume the robot taxi wouldn't stop at a random spot just because the customer is standing there. It'd stop at an appropriate place for the taxi. That's +1 for the Taxi, and -1 for the customer assuming the Taxi would stop at a random, rule breaking spot.
If the worst thing that happens is it doesn't pick you up or drop you off at the exact spot (say, within 100 years on the correct street), that's good compared to how this can go in an Uber for example. And Uber is very tightly geofenced in only a handful of cities.
Sup Eric, welcome back, that robotics taxi uses Nvidia tech, but this year the performance of $NVDA is crazy af, it’s double though so it’s too late for me to buy that stock😂 I knew in San Francisco google Waymo and GM cruise has their robots taxi Waymo is more advanced because google AI tech is so cool, it has minority collusion
A Double Parked American Car!! Not Just a double parked car . Interesting. You may need to get out more and experience other countries perhaps. I can honestly say that in no conceivable way I can find that exciting?! Non the less it's interesting all the same. Music towards the end was the highlight.
How many countries in the past month/3 months/6 months/etc should I have been to? Do you want me to list them? I don't understand your comment because I also said the ride was completely unexciting... the interesting thing was how boring it was.
@@Eric_Garrison it just looks dull but just for your enlightenment, Rowan Atkinson has some nuggets of wisdom regarding technology especially in the field of electric cars . Especially knowing he's relatively adept in the field of engineering. Regardless it was appreciated and quite a reveal into the stark nature of what could become our dull future.
imo better to have robots drive us and more time to pursue passions than to make poor farmers from rural China drive 30 days per month 12 hours per day for peanuts... let's get people out of mundane dull jobs and garbage wages.
@@Eric_Garrison Farming in a rural block is a fantastic way of life. However this discussion is purely subjective. I'll watch Demolition Man again to inspire me for a fun filled future
It is....that's why it's called Robotaxi😂😂 Have you seen someone driving it? The standby driver is just there incase of an emergency...if I'm wrong let me know.
Human is there by law. It has nothing to do with the technology. The Chinese local government just want to be safe. I would expect them to relax the law after a year or two. There is at least one other city in China that has already given the go-ahead for no-human robotaxi service. As far as I know, it's the same company. So clearly it has nothing to do with the technology.
Not a big fan of roboservice. Its takes away people's jobs. And soon if people kept relying on robo. The people of the future are clueless and lazy. Just like back in old day where there is no rear view cam and you learn how to drive reverse parking base on your personal skill. And those who used to rear view cam and sudden the rear cam is broken. He/she having trouble reversing back parking or took way too long to get it parked. Simply put. Roboservices willl destroy human's knowledges in future like a spoiled kids. Everything done by robo.
I think theres a balance in everything. For the disabled and really old people, driverless cars could help them tremendously. I have very often encountered very old drivers here and it’s painful to watch. Way below traffic speed on highways, dangerous driving behaviours because they get scared more easily and their response time is slower. Robo cars are there to help people who have problems driving. It enables them, and make the roads safer for the others.
@@jinniwind So no human kind enough to help driving them? Then again when come to certain age as in very old that may have demantia syndrome or lack of body responsive shouldnt be driving for their safety. They just have to admit is time to call an Uber or taxi or someone who can drive safely. I've seen an old lady here in australia back in few years ago because of her sudden supprised by a kid running out she step hard on accelerator where she thought she stepping on break but instead ran thru over the kid and drag that horrifying death for the kid. Why must have ROBO car when we have so many people who seeking for works and most of the jobs is taken away by robo? Robo dont starv people do starv to death.
@@王焉-v4u like i said... you can get human driver to give the senior people rides like the old fashion way aka TAXI or Uber with human driver! ROBO driver sound awesome but if everything done by ROBO then more people losing jobs!

The robotaxi was right haha as you were standing too close to the bus lane so it prevented from blocking the bus in and out. Anyway impressive video!
@@最爱扫把佬 thats a good explanation. It always does the right thing, even if abit unconventional
But then somehow the app needs to TELL YOU PRECISELY where you have to be to catch the robo-taxi. It's basic communication.

@@龙腾洞观 I know where I was standing and what is there and where the pick up point address was. The car doesn't know where I was standing
This. Is. Amazing.
Waymo is a lot better. China Robotaxi is years behind the US
That Strike One was so unfair to the cute robot. It was trained to stop at the right pick up zones in the street. Law abiding robot!
I'm here for the music.

There are cameras inside the waymo car.
And rider support can call into the car to assist the rider before ever called the police
Nice experience

wrong, you are standing at a bus stop? taxis by law may not pick up passengers in a bus stop
My pick up spot was not set to a bus stop.
i assume the robot taxi wouldn't stop at a random spot just because the customer is standing there. It'd stop at an appropriate place for the taxi.
That's +1 for the Taxi, and -1 for the customer assuming the Taxi would stop at a random, rule breaking spot.
I tried to become a Waymo test driver in Phoenix a few years ago, but they wouldn't take me lol

The taxi could not stop on the yellow lines and had to stop at the first available point beyond the no stopping area
Person in the driver seat was so startling
Have taken in GZ a few times.
The robot has gone rogue 🤣🤣
Any chinese residents here? How well received in apollo taxi amongsts the residents?

No car or robotaxi should stop at the intersection. It is not safe.

That's not Robotaxi. There is a guy sitting in front. China is way behind the US. I took Waymo. It's a lot better than this. This sucks!
Chinese traffic rules: intersections and bus stops can not stop, so it will run to the front of the bus stop to park.
