What are the new opportunities after autonomous driving?

There will no longer be stealing passengers, refusing to board, detours, etc. The phenomenon of motion sickness will be reduced a lot, after the popularization of unmanned driving, through the central scheduling, there will be no sharp acceleration, sharp deceleration, driving more smoothly, comfort will be very high, and many people will no longer get motion sickness.

There will be fewer private cars and more driverless taxis. After the rollout of unmanned driving, online car-hailing can be completely on call, and the transportation system will be uniformly regulated by the center, traffic jams will rarely occur, and the use of driverless taxis will become the mainstream.

In addition to saving lives, driverless cars can help us save the planet. Because driverless cars are optimized for acceleration, braking, and shifting, they help improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to McKinsey & Company**, driverless cars help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 300 million tonnes per year, which is equivalent to half of the CO2 emissions of the aviation industry.

Traffic accidents will become rare. One of the characteristics of unmanned driving is the absolute observance of traffic rules, at this stage of immaturity, most of the accidents detected by autonomous driving road tests are not caused by itself, basically because of other vehicle violations or pedestrian violations and some intentional behavior.

The demand for parking spaces has been significantly reduced. When driverless taxis become mainstream, only temporary taxi parking spaces (for temporary use of cars nearby) and a small number of private car parking spaces are needed during the daily off-peak hours, and other taxis are on the road.

Unmanned driving can really achieve unmanned driving. Nowadays, the development of technology is very rapid, and the application of AI technology has brought the development of unmanned driving to a higher level. The future may look like this:

If you call a taxi by mobile phone, you can travel at a speed of 80 or 120 on a special underground track in the city, and pay by mobile phone after arriving at the location.

Human-driven cars will dramatically change consumers' "travel habits", tempting them to move away from buying private cars in favor of on-demand robo-taxis. Using a shared car is more cost-effective than buying a private car. In fact, you can save up to 80% with a shared driverless car compared to traveling by car.

Dramatically reduce traffic congestion. According to the KPMG report, driverless cars can help increase the capacity of highways to accommodate cars by a factor of five. Sebation Thrun, a computer expert at Stanford University and a former expert on Google's self-driving car project, said that once robotic cars become mainstream, only 30 percent of cars will currently be needed on public roads.

Thinking about beauty is just a concept, and it will not become a reality.

As of 2020, driverless cars are still not widely available, but with the development of driverless technology and AI technology, it is possible that it will become widespread in the next few years. Although driverless vehicles will be released in the next few years, many driverless technologies already exist and are gradually increasing their use in everyday driving. More and more automakers are investing in the research and development of autonomous driving technology.

Automakers are increasing the use of radar and camera-based systems in vehicles to prevent cars from deviating from lanes, detect pedestrians in front of them, and apply automatic braking to avoid collisions. Although the driver is currently indispensable for car driving, eventually these systems will be applied to driverless cars.

At present, the most common semi-autonomous driving functions that can be applied to vehicles are: adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, emergency braking system, automatic parking system, and automatic highway navigation device.

As of 2020, driverless cars are still not widely available, but there are already many places where driverless technology is being piloted, and driverless technology will be popularized in the near future. On the morning of May 17, 2019, four smart buses appeared on the Smart Island of Longzi Lake in Zhengzhou City.

With the help of 5G signals, the vehicle can quickly connect with the cloud control platform, and even quickly update the software of the vehicle, based on which a new vehicle-road collaboration can be established.

Zhengzhou's unmanned buses can exchange information with nearby bus stations to understand the arrival of vehicles. In addition, vehicles can also feel pedestrian and vehicle information from a few hundred meters away, and communicate traffic lights as soon as possible.

At least 5 years, 5G Internet of Things will be fully developed after the popularization of the Internet of Things, and the previous ones were all experimental mice.

It will take some years to become popular.
