ice cream lovers are in for a treat! perhaps soon, while you are taking a leisurely walk in the park, an unmanned ice cream truck will find you. it will stop when you wave and sell ice cream when you scan the code.
on the morning of september 23, the driverless ice cream truck, which made its debut at the 2024 china (zhengzhou) new energy vehicle eco-partner conference and intelligent connected vehicle competition, attracted passers-by to take photos and check in. xiang wei, a person in charge of the new stone unmanned vehicle company, said, "in the future, there will also be driverless coffee trucks, which can deliver mocha or cappuccino on demand."
xiang wei introduced that the driverless ice cream truck is equipped with high-tech equipment such as laser radar, millimeter-wave radar and camera, and has l4 level autonomous driving technology. "we have already connected with relevant parties, and the first batch of driverless ice cream trucks are expected to be put into use in zhengzhou in the near future," xiang wei said.
outside the venue, a number of cool "smart cars" were displayed side by side with the driverless ice cream truck, including the xiaoyu 2.0 self-driving bus, self-driving cleaning and sweeping car, etc., attracting attention.
although you won’t be able to eat ice cream from a driverless ice cream truck for the time being, you might come across a driverless bus.
at the conference, the relevant person in charge of the zhengzhou municipal government released the regional vehicles for the on-road peer testing of intelligent networked vehicles, and held a ceremony to launch the intelligent networked vehicles in zhengzhou. focusing on the goal of building the first city for commercial vehicle driving, zhengzhou plans to promote intelligent networked vehicles in sanitation, public transportation, logistics and other aspects in stages and batches.
in terms of public transportation, zhengzhou has selected 16 distinctive short- and medium-distance routes to deploy 200 l4-level autonomous driving circulation buses, with a total mileage of 82 kilometers. in the field of sanitation, 10 l4-level autonomous driving sweepers have been deployed in zhengdong new district and zhengzhou high-tech zone respectively. in the field of autonomous driving logistics and distribution, 40 autonomous driving light trucks have been deployed in 10 lines with relatively stable traffic flow for linear logistics distribution, and autonomous driving logistics vehicles have been deployed in the test area for terminal logistics distribution to conduct point-to-point autonomous driving logistics vehicle testing.
200 self-driving buses are on the road, bringing driverless cars into the daily lives of zhengzhou citizens. that is to say, if you go from henan university of technology to zhenghonghui, or if you take the zhengzhou university campus loop, you may encounter a driverless bus.
it is obvious that zhengzhou has obvious advantages in the field of intelligent connected vehicles, and has formed an industry-leading, fully functional national-level closed intelligent connected vehicle testing center, with 105.33 kilometers of open test lines, 103 intelligent connected test vehicles put into use, and a mileage of more than 2 million kilometers of intelligent connected testing and operation.
driverless cars are coming fast. the future is here. are you ready?
