Notes on self-driving travel:

1. Maintain good driving condition: Long-distance drivers must maintain good physical and mental conditions, and ensure adequate sleep before driving.

2. Wear seat belts: Not only the driver and front-seat passengers, but also rear-seat passengers need to wear seat belts. If there are children under the age of twelve at home, it is recommended to purchase a child safety seat produced by a regular manufacturer.

3. Driving in rainy or snowy weather: Turn on the fog lights and width lights. Drive slowly. When driving in bad weather, do not overtake at will. Press the accelerator lightly, brake lightly, and turn slowly. When overtaking, you should use the horn and headlights to remind you, and wait for the vehicle in front to give way before overtaking. Dark and humid places such as under overpasses and tunnel entrances are prone to ice formation, so be extra careful and drive slowly.
