7 Million Ride-Share Drivers Jobless Overnight, as China’s Foolish Autonomous Cars Snatch Jobs

- In Wuhan, two self-driving taxis met on the street and couldn't figure out how to proceed. The car doors wouldn't open, so the passengers had to wait for help. The traffic police were also helpless with the traffic jam caused by this malfunction.
Currently, Baidu Apollo operates these self-driving taxis in cities like Wuhan, Guangzhou, and Beijing. This new "carrot" ride-hailing platform has completed 3 million rides in just one month, quickly becoming a hot topic.
This number is astonishing. Even the well-established ride-hailing giant Didi didn't grow this fast when it first started.
What does 3 million rides mean? Let's break it down: 30 days in a month, averaging 100,000 rides per day. Further dividing it, if they operate 18 hours a day, that's 5,555 rides per hour.
In 2012, Didi took three whole years to reach 100 million rides. At its current pace, "Carrot" might surpass Didi's three-year sales volume in less than a year.

What is even more amazing to find out is that China has labour laws.
Wellllll,...., the pretends are there.
CCP has lots of laws but just for show and for the benefit of the elite.
CCP laws😢 Bad for Humanity😮
@@alapaticornell4391What is good for corporate America is good for humanity. LOL
Labour diktats more like.
I swear it is going to come out that these cars are actually just remote operated lol
Already did. They found the company operating basically remote service. Although the idea is good, because the car does self drive, and there is a remote operator doing 3 or 4 cars at once moderating them
@@polkalamypekopeko2969 You made all of that up

@@paulwilliams5121 You should look it up for yourself, not even the CCP or the United States have to power to suppress the internet, they can only cover their people's eyes and limit access, use VPN if you're still suspicious. China's bus and vehicles has a compartment at the front for a driver and a lot are also remote controlled

Wait, so the cars locks their passengers in, so in an accident or lets say it malfunctioned while on a train track with the train coming, the passengers are screwed?
Hopefully they still allow you to open the window. They must be small enough to climb through.

Super cheap price until they kick out all the human competition and can raise prices.
Then some other self driving car comes around for a cheaper price?
There will always be competitions. Just like Uber and Didi. Isn't Tesla is also developing their self-driving car?

all these people in China cross the street anywhere and everywhere. Cars, motorbikes, bicycles, electric trikes and personal mobility devices. Not to mention a variety of delivery vehicles and trucks. No one following any rules; sometimes they even go the wrong way down the street. Can you imagine trying to do self-driving there? Ridiculous. China used to be a place that purposely used people in labor intensive roles - even when they could be automated or substituted with tech - to keep them employed. Hell, they even built buildings no one needed or wanted to ensure full employment. If the goal was to create and prove new tech to the rest of the world so that you could sell it everywhere, that would be one thing, but do you think other countries would accept China’s disruptive tech in today’s political climate? Will never happen.
What you’re not considering is that there’s a bigger issue. AI is all about data, which this is providing. This isn’t about cars. It’s about who gets to AGI first. The US cant afford to let that data go. They need it to compete. So they’ll allow it too.
Thought the same, it’s already difficult in the us imagine in china the only country where this would work is probably Germany where everybody obeys the rules on the street 😂
But it is already happening, so no need to imagine it
You know nothing about China but you still spout this nonsense.
What's interesting is this is entirely subsidized by the ccp. So this low price is introductory. They are in the midst of a failing economy, are adding to it with more unemployment with these taxis, then once the man driven ones are pushed out the prices will go back up to just under the manned taxis and just be a one two punch that won't be felt until its to late. Adding huge unemployment, negligible saving to the public, while the only people that will really profit is those companies investors and corrupt government officals😂 It being self imposed makes it even more hilarious 😂
It interesting how beijing dont have eye for economy aspect in it huh
The CCP has shown over and over to be short-sighted.
The war with mainland China and Taiwan is canceled, because CCP China can not afford to play their military 🤣🤣🤣
This has been stated on many Channels featuring *"**#CCP_COMMUNIST_CHINA**"* 😅
CCP economics 😂
Yeah no way this price is making profit. They're just throwing competition into bankruptcy.
To be honest the same is happening in food delivery in the west
Enjoying your manufacuting job cletus?
It's very common for people to jump in front of cars to get money off them. That lady was probably surprised when she found out there is nobody driving. She was like "Who is going to give me money for my scam now?"

The Baido Apollo autonomous driving car, uses a couple of AI chips, from Nvidia DRIVE Xavier chip, it has 30 TOPS and black Sesame semiconductor's Huashan II A1000 AI chip. Even as these autonomous driving AI chip can do a lot, it's not even close to being ready for real world use...as newer Nvidia's DRIVE Orin and DRIVE Thor are still being considered as not fully FSD, so the way how the CCP are just rushing these autonomous driving cars out, just goes to show you how desperately and badly the CCP want to make China look like they are ahead of the world.
I wouldn't want to be in or near a Chinese made self-driving car.
no shortage of Chinese who will!
What makes me laugh is that the taxi drivers genuinely believe that they have rights and that the law will help them.
Agreed, but I guess they have no choice.
Whats funnier is that you think you have a choice of “leaders”. Your govt is owned by aipac and isreal. You are the real sucker
its like the elevator operators in 1910s xD, when they get rid of them some people stopped using elevators as a protest
people will never stop the changes, some jobs will be gone in the next 10/20 years and we cant stop that, because robots will be cheaper
we have to adapt, its hard but there is no oter way around that
600 million people living under 1000 yuan a month though with the economy in freefall but at least they got driverless cars and EV exports that no one wants. always a silver lining
Lol, those taxi drivers said "Violating Labor contract laws and we will take legal measures to protect our rights" There are no rights or laws in China. 😂🤣
They'll be shocked how non socialist their country is 😢
Every nation has laws despite your ignorance.
there are rights in china, just make sure your right hand has 💰💵💲
Robots take over, and this means fewer people with money to spend. Not what you want as the economy goes downhill.
But people who uses ai taxis will have more money to spend and taxi drivers will have to find new job so there will be more money to spend.
Leading to communism
@@maxhakka2349 Not necessarily. What accountability will there be, for the robotaxi companies to pass those savings onto the customer?
I don’t get it! With all the people in China willing to work for nothing, they need self driven cars?😂
self-driving car can operate 24-7 none stop, and all the money made can be collected directly by the company, no cut for the driver because there is no driver. It is more profitable for the company and cheaper for the customers.
@@seanzhang3873: but the worker puts money back into the economy, he buys things! An AI car does not!
because of pure greed...these corporations want to make as much money as possible, even if they can save a cent here or there they will do it, they play the long game
Greed has no bounds

China EVs trying to be Tesla so hard...
Tesla's FSD have been undergoing constant training over YEARS and China thinks they can make it work.
They probably already hacked Tesla anyway.
@@mikewoodman2872 More likely most China EV companies buy Tesla cars and get their teams to reverse engineer it.
Bullshit!Tesla is a loser company and compleat irrelevant
@@mikewoodman2872 Tesla has no lidar, these are completely different. Think.
These self driving cars are better than tesla "FSD", they work without a driver in the seat just like waymo who also is better than tesla "FSD".
Tesla's FSD isn't even in the top tier of self-driving, there are far more complicated systems around. This one is not one of them. I'm seeing these things doing mistakes that companies like Yandex figured out 5 years ago.
That's an insane price 0.70 cents for 7km. Wow. I'd definitely take it at that price.
The fact that they are completing that many rides an hour, in the thousands, and only a couple of blips here and there should be considered a monumental achievement. By those metrics in the next 2-4 years this will grow exponentially.
My thoughts too, but it’s easier for people to focus on the negatives and hate on China than see just how amazing that achievement is to the honest
So, self driving cars are behaving like gangsters!
ok I love you guys and all but this is the tenth "all ridesharing jobs lost" video you've made this year
But you need to complain.
its a farm views account. They made over and over the same stuff as long they get views out of it
They loose all of their ride share drivers everyday because they tell the truth
Reminds me of the people complaining that automobiles and trains would put horse buggy builders and stage coaches out of business.
Next.. Food Delivery robot, we're so doomed.
China is so 'advanced'. Taking learn on the job to another level. 🤣

Peoples loosing their jobs because of AI.. so bad to see all of these bullshit automotive vehicles.
Well, people always lose job due to the invention of new technology, how is this bullshit? This is how human society works. You either have to adapt or be outdated.
And the real shitty part is that AI won't do it as well as humans for a long while, but these corporations are ok with 50% solutions if it means they can increase their bottom line.
@@svendays They already do better than humans.
Advances in technology is sadly inevitable. This will affect the whole world not only China.
But we humans have managed to adapt and overcome and enjoy these technological advances.
Well, not this time
yes we will adapt but our ability to retrain all those who have been unemployed is not only dwindling but more difficult because the new jobs created are so specialized & few in between.
So Carot Cab says 5500 rides and hour /say 450 cars that's 12 rides per car. So every car picks up and drops off a new passenger every 5 minutes. Say 5km ride each trip. How bloody fast are they driving? I call BS
Well you’d need to actually know the amount before making assumptions, could be true could be false, but you don’t have the data yourself to call out other data with
There are no laws in china so how can they violate anything
😂😂😂
these driverless cars drive almost as bad as chinese drivers
I don't think these are ready for prime time. A country that has unreliable elevators and escalators, can't be trusted for their robo taxis. 🤣😂
People should be prepared for the change. The state must care about them
As my late mother would say, "that's just f'n stupid".
beware it is heaven and hell when comparing Japanese and China Taxi drivers.
This video explains so much as to why Chinese drivers drive the way they do in the US, don't follow traffic rules and get mad/aggressive when they cause traffic issues. I see the desire for these taxis in such a shabby culture but they drive just as poorly as Chinese drivers but at least is polite about it.
I remember being in a turning lane waiting for traffic to ease up so that I can enter into a strip mall…this Asian guy almost slammed into my still car and the start blowing his horn while swerving to avoid me….I guess the guy didn’t see the two lanes of southbound traffic still flowing.
This is so dangerous. Why would they do this without extensive testing?
Employees have to be compensated.
first its tofu now its carrot lmfao
They are perfect on the highway, but for intersections, there is still much deep learning needed.
Chinese here, I confirm this information, Chinese can only make great toy cars😂,bro, don’t forget the tofu. Auto drive is a joke,if it’s real, I can buy one and let the car do Uber service itself to make money for me, and I continue to sleep at day time😂
I guess this is how horses felt when cars were invented.
So compare the price for a horse with the price of a car. These days only rich people can afford a horse.

@@jfoldger1184 Plane autopilot doesn't mean the actual pilot can stop paying attention, and worldwide, two pilots are still legally required on all planes with passengers.

A pilot still has to monitor it, keep track of the sensor readings, and communicate with air traffic control

There are already self driving cars in Las Vegas. Sounds like Chinese tech issue. Elon said you will receive UBI because your job has become obsolete. Robotics will make the prices cheaper.
In both Las Vegas and parts of California the self driving cars we have are Waymo and Cruise. There is also Zoox (owned by Amazon) but I don't think its been released yet.
Since 2010 Google has been testing self driving cars but it was only until recently that they've been put on the roads.
Japan had a similar car known as Pivo which was created by Nissan but I think that was more of an idea of electric cars than something people would actually drive. This was the early version Siri and Alexa.
There was also Nao but he was more of a toy than a car.
Stop this driverless car on roads.!
this is like cyberpunk 2077's AI run taxi business
What's up with those taxi prices!? Where I live I'd have to pay 10 times that, and that's WITH a driver...
Highly doubt that the costs for a cab in Morocco or Venezuela are comparable to any Western nations.
But neither is the price for gasoline, insurance, taxes, and especially the license.
In NYC, a taxi medallion costs way above 100k$ these days.
China is very cheap. For example a bus fare is about 15c and a beer in a cheap restaurant is about 70c or at least was back in 2015-17 when I lived there. If you earn say $1300 a month you can live well in most cities. A fairly comfortable flat is about $400/mo in prosperous cities such as xiamen. In most Western European countries or North America you would struggle or even starve in such an income as it absolutely will not cover the absolute basics.
Considering where these polished turds are built, sounds totally predictable.
I wouldn’t want to be in any self driving car. Chinese, German, American built, it doesn’t matter. They shouldn’t be on the road.
I would be scared to travel in a driver less car!
