Li Bin, ▍, said that he is determined not to be a self-driving taxi: the value of self-driving is not to “kill” ride-hailing drivers.
According to news from IT House on July 27, at today’s NIO IN 2024 Innovation and Technology Day, Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of Lulai, was interviewed by the media to talk about technology, service and sales of self-driving taxis.
Li Bin said that Weilai is determined not to be a driverless taxi.
“I don’t think the value of autopilot is to kill a chauffeured driver who is supposed to be very hard.
I don’t think it’s exciting at all.
We still think that autopilot should be safer and reduce fatigue.
” Li Bin said that the technology of driverless taxis will certainly be mature, which is no problem.
But does it really have to be a sustainable business? No, thinking too much, driverless taxis can’t solve the problem of traffic, so in the end, there is a certain amount of operating vehicles that a city can accommodate, no matter whether it is driven or unmanned.
This’ quantity ‘makes Robotaxi never become a business that expands without boundaries like software and cloud services.
” Li Bin also talked about topics related to the Weekly sales list.
He said bluntly, “We do not authorize any organization or individual to use the so-called unaudited weekly sales list with our name, and we call on the relevant departments to regulate it.
” Li Bin also talked about his views on lidar.
Li Bin said: whoever says lidar is useless, it must be stupid or bad.
Lidar plays a different role in different stages.
Tesla is not right about everything.
Li Bin further explained that because when Tesla was working on Model S and Model Y, the lidar in foreign countries cost tens of thousands of dollars each, and how much did Tesla’s car sell? And the lidar at that time was rotating, which would affect the wind resistance, appearance and so on.
At present, the highest and most expensive lidar used in China is only a few thousand yuan, and some lidars even cost as little as one or two thousand yuan.
As long as the information provided by lidar is accurate and reliable, it is useful, so whether the car is equipped with lidar or not depends on whether the enterprise is willing to pay the cost.
