My Commute in China has a Shocking Future

My Commute in the modern Chinese city of Nanjing is often exciting but after many years I decided to go on an adventure. In this city of 9 million people I decided to take a different commute to work along Chinas incredible infrastructure. I took a taxi, car, High speed train and a driverless bus, stopping off at interesting sites along the way, trying to create a different experience everyday. The autonomous driving bus was exciting to experience, with the future on our roads heading towards autonomous driving fast.

Wednesday (the rainy day) was poetic. You have an open mind and good spirit. Just like China.

[@middlekingdomproductions]

Thank you 👍✌️🌻

[@MrFreeLuncheon]

Very interesting video, I like the self-driving bus 😂

[@chopinmack5418]

Hopefully , people around the World can live in a peaceful environment as in Nanjing , China !

[@middlekingdomproductions]

A peaceful world sounds good to me ✌️🌻😊

[@Winter_Jasmine]

I really enjoyed watching your videos, it's so relaxing and enjoyable.

[@middlekingdomproductions]

Thank you very much

[@siyuanzuo3750]

谢谢！

[@middlekingdomproductions]

非常感谢 👍🙏🏻 This is very kind thank you!

[@paulinerothwell4503]

Really interesting video Adam. Amazing how fast technology is progressing.! I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable travelling on the automated bus if there wasn't a human overseeing it also.
I love your videos. 🥰 They are so well produced. 👍 Keep sharing ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

like the philosophical touch of this video, thank you

Thank you 👍

[@mglee1431]

It's always a pleasure to watch your video.The accompanying BGM and the way you shot and arrange your clip output is cinematic and arresting.❤

[@middlekingdomproductions]

Thank you very much 🌻😊👍

Greetings, nice to hear from you again. Take care

[@middlekingdomproductions]

Thanks Victor, take care

[@jacintochua6885]

Everyone creates his on routine . If its boring, then it'sone's own choice to make.. isn't it ? One gets what one puts in.

[@middlekingdomproductions]

haha sure, that's the point of the video 😁, most people have the same or a very similar commute everyday, I open up the idea of changing that.

[@siyuanzuo3750]

Nanjinger living in Australia here. Miss the public transport and street vendors in Nanjing. Top notch video editing!

[@middlekingdomproductions]

I can understand why you miss them. I hope life in Australia is treating you well and that you have chance to visit Nanjing again soon 🙂 cheers thank you ! 👍

On a sunny afternoon, it is a lucky thing to run into a cafe in a narrow alley.

[@middlekingdomproductions]

It is 😁☀️

Thanks Adam! i cant reply to a previous comment on youtube for some reason.... i may have upset youtube or it might be a bug

Wuhan has launched 1,000 driverless taxis called "carrot run". Citizens only need to place an order through a mobile app to experience the unique charm of driverless taxis, and the fare is less than half of that of ordinary taxis, greatly reducing travel costs. Tesla is negotiating to enter into driverless taxi market in China, and the partner could be Baidu " Carrot run".

[@middlekingdomproductions]

I’ll have to try it out sometime 👍 yeah it seems China might potentially be more open to allowing Tesla FSD onto the roads and their future robotaxis than other countries. Yeah the partnership with Baidu is necessary to proceed here with this technology. Baidu have some very cool mapping systems here, I’ve used their maps while driving. I don’t think most people realize that what Tesla are doing with FSD is without any radar, mapping or anything most self driving services use. It will be able to drive with only the cameras, no code.

[@phu004]

I can see that the "driverless" car still requires some one sitting behind the wheel, it's still a bit risky to let a passenger vehicle controlled completely by AI.

[@middlekingdomproductions]

Yeah for sure safety comes first but soon enough AI will be safer at driving than humans. I’m unsure what technology this bus is testing out. I guess it is probably using some form of Lidar. There are many cool videos of Tesla FSD online now, it’s getting very close to solving autonomous driving. It doesn’t use any form of Lidar or code anymore either, pure AI. An exciting future is coming fast 😃

[@serriajohn]

@@middlekingdomproductions Wuhan has 1000 taxi with no driver inside, this company is called Carrot Run . it does not have driver , the passenger sits the rear seat, with a monitor to show navigation map, and a menu for emergency call. also , there is a hammer to break windows if car accident occurs. A vloger shows how to change route or want a emergency stop because passenger inside might change their decision or desitination etc..

[@middlekingdomproductions]

@@serriajohn sounds very interesting, thanks for sharing.

[@weihe2466]

你可以放心，这项技术在中国已经在一定区域内测试了很久了。相当的安全。基于中国的网络覆盖程度，自动驾驶已经慢慢成为大家生活的日常了。

[@antwango]

Hi Adam just for confirmation I sent you an email..... just hoping you got it and its not in spam or bin

[@middlekingdomproductions]

Hey Ant, I’ve got it. I’ll reply as soon as I get a chance 👍😊

[@antwango]

What job again do you have? Were we supposed to go to work with you!?? Or did i miss it lol

[@middlekingdomproductions]

I teach 😃 lol no, you weren’t supposed to go to work with me, just on the commute.

[@HafiZzZzZz]

How come you don't buy an Electric Scooter and ride it to school everyday ?

[@middlekingdomproductions]

Taxis are the best option for me. I also drive an electric car but not to work. It’s also not possible to ride an electric scooter on the highway through the river tunnel so it would mean an extra 10km or something like that to travel the longer route over a bridge 😃

[@tnt_pkk1311]

Music is scary

[@middlekingdomproductions]

I don’t find it scary, just ambient / drawing attention.

What’s fake ? 😂

You know what? To the average user, the way you charge to talk is causing them trouble, you are like a beggar.
