Photo exhibition of epidemic situation

Although the pneumonia epidemic has had a great impact on the overall sales of the automobile market, it has also brought new opportunities for driverless technology. With the emphasis on reducing contact everywhere, unmanned vehicles have their own uses, so can the epidemic promote the rapid progress of unmanned technology?

After the outbreak of pneumonia, staying indoors to reduce contact has become a choice for many people, but for the medical staff who are fighting in the front line, the distribution and supply of necessary materials has become a problem. If it is a traditional delivery method, the courier will undoubtedly become a "high-risk" group, so the delivery car with driverless technology will be of great use. Recently, between Jingdong Logistics Wuhan Renhe Station and Wuhan Ninth Hospital, the unmanned delivery vehicle independently developed by Jingdong Logistics has become a beautiful landscape, carrying 50%-70% of the order delivery volume of the hospital. It is reported that the unmanned delivery vehicle can carry 24 items at a time, and each delivery time is 20-30 minutes. The system automatically plans the round-trip route, and the express station only needs to charge the unmanned delivery vehicle.

Not only unmanned delivery vehicles, but also epidemics. At present, unmanned disinfection vehicles, unmanned sweepers and other special vehicles with unmanned driving functions have made great efforts to reduce the contact between people. Therefore, it can be predicted that this epidemic has great positive significance for the popularization and application of this kind of unmanned special vehicles. At the same time, most of these vehicles have the characteristics of relatively fixed driving trajectory, slow driving speed, small body size and no need to carry people. The difficulty of implementation is lower than that of traditional driverless cars, and the fault tolerance rate is higher. It can be said that the outbreak of this epidemic has provided more practical opportunities for these unmanned special vehicles, and also increased their exposure, which will undoubtedly promote the development of related industries.

However, for taxis and online car rides, the current driverless technology is not enough to completely replace labor. Therefore, after the outbreak of the epidemic, physical isolation in the compartment has become the response of most drivers. Compared with the above-mentioned unmanned special vehicles, it is more difficult to realize unmanned driving of traditional operating vehicles. In addition, the epidemic occurred suddenly and will not last long, so Parker believes that the epidemic will not greatly promote the popularization of unmanned vehicles in traditional operations. For private car users, they may pay more attention to the air purification function in the car than the driverless function, so it is even more impossible for private car driverless to have new development opportunities because of this epidemic.
