An application for self-driving buses and other vehicles was recently selected to be one of a group of new digital economy projects that will be developed in 2023 in Wuhan city – in Central China's Hubei province.
Local media reports said that the Application of Self-driving Buses in Commuter Services is a project developed by Dongfeng USharing Technology Co.
The Dongfeng company is located in the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone, or WEDZ.
The application scenarios of this project have expanded from unmanned buses to unmanned vending vehicles, unmanned delivery vehicles, and unmanned cleaning vehicles, and have entered the field of smart logistics.
Dongfeng USharing driverless collection trucks can already be seen operating at the Xiamen Yuanhai Container Terminal in Southeast China's Fujian province, and in the Baise Longbang Unmanned Vehicle Cross-border Land Demonstration Port in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
Since the launch of the Sharing-Aircraft (unmanned aerial vehicle) by Dongfeng USharing in April last year, the company has entered the field of commercial low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles.
Currently, the WEDZ is home to 17 digital economy applications scenarios that have been selected in the first batch of digital economy applications scenarios in Wuhan.
These include an innovative application of vehicle intelligent voice recognition system based on a SE1000 chip, the Dongfeng smart car cloud control system and the Beidou + 5GNR broadcast applications innovation service platform.
