18 In September, at the launching ceremony of Shenzhen 20 17 "Bus Travel Publicity Week and Car Free Day", Yu Gang, chairman of Shenzhen Public Transport Group, revealed that he was cooperating with National Intelligent Transportation Technology Center and Huawei Company to jointly develop driverless technology. At the end of June this year 10, two driverless routes will be piloted in South University of Science and Technology and other places.
In addition to technical problems, driverless cars also need to solve road facilities and regulatory issues. At a special forum on intelligent driving this year, Guan Zhichao, chief engineer of Shenzhen Comprehensive Traffic Operation Command Center, said that intelligent driving technology has put forward higher requirements for urban traffic control. In the future, Shenzhen should focus on building an environment suitable for intelligent driving, which requires the government to provide land, and some areas can be designated as unmanned pilot areas.
Regarding traffic management and other issues, Guan Zhichao also pointed out that government management needs new ideas, driverless driving is a brand-new way of travel in the future, and the construction of traffic management system should be restarted to form another kind of thinking.
With driverless buses on the road in the near future, Shenzhen will also explore supporting supervision schemes.
Shenzhen is in the forefront of the country in the implementation of bus electrification and intelligence. At the end of June this year, Shenzhen Bus Group has fully electrified buses, becoming the world's largest new energy bus operator, and officially opened WeChat QR code payment. According to the relevant deployment, before the end of September, Shenzhen will realize the pure electrification of 100% buses.
