Alibaba-backed autonomous driving leader AutoX has released a video showing its fully driverless Robotaxis, navigating through the mazes of traffic and chaos in some of China’s busy urban roads.
AutoX has been a trailblazer in the autonomous vehicle transportation systems in China. Earlier this year it began testing its Robotaxis in China, and the response was phenomenal. It remains the only RoboTaxi technology platform in China that has achieved fully driverless operations in the country.
In the official video released, the fully driverless Robotaxi was seen gracefully navigating the dense, chaotic public roads in a Chinese urban village. The car deftly maneuvered its way around various potential impediments in the form of pedestrians, pets, motorists, and static roadside barriers during evening rush hour.
The video which was filmed in a Shenzhen urban village shows several onlookers catching a glimpse of the driverless cars without passengers moving through the streets. A few of the pedestrians were seen filming or taking photos of the spectacular car.
The RoboTaxi was seen to come out tops when it was faced with a tricky situation. It maneuvered through an extremely narrow lane that is only wide enough for one vehicle while also facing an oncoming human-driven vehicle. In such situations, the RoboTaxi had acted intelligently to come out unscathed.
The RoboTaxi in the video is equipped with the AutoX Gen5 system, released last month in Shanghai. The Gen5 system has 50 sensors in total, as well as a vehicle control unit of 2200 TOPS computing power. There are 28 cameras capturing a total of 220, six high-resolution LiDAR, RADAR with 0.9-degree resolution which guarantees a 360-degree coverage of the outside of the car.
