People, not new technologies, are the next hurdle in robotaxi adoption

At this stage, those who work in the space of independent vehicles believe that the problem is not technology, but people, and organizers in particular.

“It is clear that it is clear enough to expand its scope, but we have to work with the government in the organization’s part,” Kerry Show, general manager of Weride in Singapore, told the Fortune Brainstorm Ai Singapore conference on Wednesday. “Public acceptance, data and transparency … I think it takes time for society to accept AVS just as part of their normal lives.”

Earlier this year, Viraid, Minister of Transport at Singapore, Jeffrey SEO, hosted at its headquarters in Guangzhou, where the minister announced ambitious plans for the first time in AVS in public housing real estate in the city by the end of the year. The Chinese startup also showed the first driver’s bus system in Singapore earlier in July.

Saint -Liu, president of Qualcomm Taiwan and South Asia, agreed that the private sector needs to help build an ecosystem of confidence. He said: “We always call that we should have standard transparency through the industry in training data and make sure we are compatible.”

“Take care of safety, make sure it is transparent, then you can enjoy yourself while you are in the car.”

Liu attributed the work of Qualcomm on independent vehicles to the four company experience in working on semiconductors. He pointed out that the strength of the new chips allows “artificial intelligence in the edge” to make the learning, opponent and decision -making process automatically. This allows the deployment of driver without driver across the geographical areas and weather patterns, such as Southeast Asia.

Cars created in Asia, especially China, have become more advanced, providing a wide range of customer -backed driving features and programs, and converting cars into smartphones on wheels.

Liu noted that the auto industry is now turning into a “knowledge of the programs”, which allows drivers to do more inside the car.

“If I can go to the car, I can conduct my meetings, I can use artificial intelligence to ask where I am, reserve my restaurant, and all of that,” just as it is an extension of my office or my home. ”
