Self-driving taxi sparks discussions on challenges, limitations

China Daily  

China Daily| Updated :2024-07-12 A self-driving taxi operated by Chinese tech heavyweight Baidu Inc recently hit a pedestrian crossing against a traffic light in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, sparking heated discussions on the challenges and limitations facing autonomous driving technology, especially in complex scenarios. Wuhan is stepping up efforts to promote the development of intelligent connected vehicles and commercialization of driverless driving technology, boasting the largest operational region for Baidu's autonomous ride-hailing platform Apollo Go. Zhang Xiang, an auto sector researcher at North China University of Technology, said that the incident in Wuhan indicates that self-driving technology has advanced significantly over the past few years, but it still encounters difficulties under complicated and ever-changing road conditions and has some limitations when dealing with unconventional behavior, such as motorists or pedestrians violating traffic rules. However, there are still some obstacles to integrating the self-driving vehicles into the existing road traffic safety management system, as the legal obligations of relevant subjects involving autonomous vehicles have not been clarified under current laws and regulations, said Huang Jinjing, head of the regulation office at the Road Traffic Safety Research Center of the Ministry of Public Security.
