Not only Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other major cities are accelerating the promotion of driverless taxis on the road. As of January 2018, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenzhen and other cities have issued driverless car qualifications to many companies, and 10 cities have issued autonomous driving pilot demonstration policies. What is accelerating is not only the speed of policy implementation, but also the cost reduction brought about by technological progress. In January this year, Baidu announced that the cost of the sixth-generation driverless car has dropped to 100 million yuan. Previously, Wang Yunpeng, vice president of Baidu and general manager of the autonomous driving technology department, once revealed that the total cost of the fifth-generation driverless car, including the whole vehicle and the driverless kit, was 100 million yuan.


That is to say, the cost of a single driverless car has dropped by nearly 10% after italy whatsapp phone number upgrading it once. This does not include the cost reduction brought by the cancellation of the real car safety officer after upgrading from the fifth generation to the sixth generation. Among the vehicles currently in service, 1 car is equipped with a safety officer, and the rest are remotely monitored, with one person monitoring the car. Even if the safety officer does not need to take turns to monitor the vehicle for 24 hours, about 10 people are still needed. The real car safety officer of the sixth-generation driverless car will be cancelled and all will be transferred to remote monitoring.


According to the calculation of "Late Post", under five years of depreciation, the daily operating cost of the fifth-generation car of Carrot Express is RMB, and the daily cost of the sixth-generation car can also be reduced to RMB, a cost reduction of nearly 10%. The insider of the driverless manufacturer communicated with Crow Jun also confirmed the credibility of this data. Although it is difficult for driverless taxis to be more efficient than human driving from now on. But please believe that under the fierce competition in the automotive industry, the cost of driverless cars may drop more and faster than expected. This means that the replacement time may be earlier than Wuhan online car-hailing drivers expected.
