1. The emergence and development of self-driving camps

Self-driving camps were first produced in some developed countries in Europe and the United States. It has roughly gone through three significant stages:

(1) The promotion of Ford's "T" model made cars popular. A large number of families who own private cars express their preference to travel by car, which makes self-driving travel possible.

(2) The formation of the highway network has made travel more and more convenient. The dotted transportation network makes people feel that the world is no longer big, and the scope of travel has expanded several times than before. Since then, car tourism has quietly emerged as an important way of tourism in the tourism industry.

(3) Changes in life concepts and lifestyles have made more and more people fall in love with vacation travel, driving around in private cars casually and freely, and enjoying the freedom of life. The release of people's play and individuality has made car travel all the rage, and the car travel industry has undergone tremendous changes.

It can be seen that the emergence of self-driving camps comes with the maturity of self-driving tourism. According to survey data, if the consumption environment is relaxed, 8.9% of families in big cities will buy a car within half a year, 12.3% of families will buy a car within 1 to 2 years, and 37% of families will buy a car within 3 years. Self-driving travel is becoming a necessity in life, and 100% of the people surveyed said they like self-driving travel very much. With the increase in the number of self-driving cars, driving trips are bound to become more popular, and vacation travel is becoming a symbol of fashionable life. Since a mature car camp can provide high-quality services to this market and make self-driving travel more leisurely and interesting, the camp, a relaxing communication space, has naturally become the first choice for self-driving travel. At present, some related self-driving camping organizations and camps have appeared in China, but their scale is far less than international standards. The main organizations in this area include the China Automobile Sports Federation Car Camping Branch and the Zhongtianxing RV Club.
