Why China Is Testing Its Autonomous Cars On U.S. Roads

为什么中国要在美国道路上测试自动驾驶汽车？

Chinese companies are aggressively develo autonomous vehicles. In August, the country announced that it had issued 16,000 test licenses for driverless cars and opened around 20,000 miles of roads in China for autonomous vehicle testing. But China-based autonomous vehicle companies have also quietly been testing their technology on U.S. streets. AV companies Didi, WeRide, Pony.ai, Baidu and AutoX logged over 1.6 million test miles in California between 2017 and 2023, gathering valuable data to train their autonomous vehicle algorithms. These same companies also established research labs in northern California, right alongside many U.S. companies working on driverless car technology. But now, the U.S. government has proposed a ban on Chinese and Russian connected vehicles due to national security concerns, putting the future operations of these companies in the U.S. into question.

中国企业正在积极开发自动驾驶汽车。今年8月，中国宣布为无人驾驶汽车发放了1.6万张测试许可证，并在中国开放了约2万英里的道路用于自动驾驶汽车测试。

但中国的自动驾驶汽车公司也悄悄在美国的街道上测试他们的技术。自动驾驶汽车公司滴滴、文远知行、小马智行、百度和AutoX在加州的测试里程超过160万英里，收集了宝贵的数据来训练他们的自动驾驶汽车算法。

这些公司还在加州北部建立了研究实验室，紧邻许多从事无人驾驶汽车技术的美国公司。但现在，美国政府出于国家安全考虑，提议禁止中国和俄罗斯的联网汽车，这让这些公司在美国的未来运营受到了质疑。

Does this mean iPhones and Tesla cars should be banned in China?

这是否意味着中国应该禁止iphone和特斯拉汽车？

There are 100,000 Chinese visitors here. Should we ban them using phones here? Those ignorant politicians have no ideas what they are talking about.

有10万中国游客来美国，我们应该禁止他们在这里使用手机吗？那些无知的政客根本不知道自己在说什么。

China with privacy concerns, not OK.

USA with privacy concerns, OK?

What a double standard

中国有隐私问题，不行。

美国有隐私问题，OK.

真是双标

Haha if china wants to see where we live with details they just need to see google street view

哈哈，如果中国想了解我们生活的细节，他们只需要看看谷歌街景

Google Street View is a national security risk!!!1111111

谷歌街景带来国家安全风险！

As someone who has worked in two self driving companies and been around the 3 major USA self driving car companies. I can tell you that this Chinese stuff they keep talking about is highly politicized. You need HUGE data information to even get anything useful. You need roughly 23 hours a day 7 days a week. You should be more worried about your cell phone than a car with a bunch of sensors on it.

我在两家自动驾驶公司工作过，熟悉美国三大自动驾驶汽车公司。我可以告诉你，他们一直在谈论的中国问题，背后有着复杂的政治目的。

你需要大量的数据信息才能得到有用的信息。需要一周7天，每天大约23个小时。手机更值得担心，而不是一辆装了一堆传感器的汽车。

Do American autonomous vehicles test in China?

美国自动驾驶汽车在中国测试了吗？

Anything warnings they're giving, they're planning on doing to others to begin with.

他们对任何事情发出的警告，一开始都是打算对其他人做的。

Glory-to-God.

Why is china so generous to allow American cars running on chinese roads? Because they are more confident and know what they are capable of and what US is capable of

为什么中国如此慷慨地允许美国汽车在中国道路上行驶？因为他们更自信，知道自己能做什么，也知道美国能做什么

 How is it Chinese companies doing road tests quietly in past year, if they hosted official opening events and inviting media to attend ?  CNBC can't blame their ignorance on someone else.

过去一年，中国企业是如何悄无声息地进行路测的，如果他们举办了正式的开幕活动并邀请媒体参加？美国媒体CNBC自己无知不能怪别人。

We can not believe PRC but can we believe US government?

我们不能相信中国，但我们能相信美国政府吗？

so androids and wundows should be banned through out the world first of all

所以首先应该在世界范围内禁止安卓和windows

It's a nice video justifying Chinese ban on Google and its Street View cars.

这很好地证明了中国禁止谷歌及谷歌街景是做对了。

National Security risk, google maps out whole earth in detail including sensitive building like parliament, army bases of other countries..

国家安全风险，谷歌详细绘制了整个地球，包括敏感建筑，如议会，其他国家的军事基地…

If you already ban all the Chinese cars, why are they in California now?

如果你已经禁止了所有的中国汽车，为什么它们现在能在加州进行路测？

johansm97

cringe video of americans panicking of videos from the street lol

美国人对街景视频感到恐慌，哈哈

When you lose the competition, accuse your competitor. LOL

当你在竞争中输掉时，就指责你的竞争对手。哈哈

clifftanch

The national security angst reported in this clip would justify the Chinese originally circumscribing Tesla in China.

你报道的国家安全担忧，证明中国最初限制特斯拉是合理的

cmk353

Nobody is paying attention to developments in China they will have profitable operations in 30+ cities next year as local authorities work with operators, not against them

没有人关注中国的发展，他们明年将在30多个城市开展业务并实现盈利，当地政府与运营商合作，而不是与他们对抗

Chinese companese are "aggreesively" develo autonomous vehicles

中国企业正在“积极”开发自动驾驶汽车

briandong5293

Maybe you should ask why Chinese companies set up in America next. Give me a break

也许你接下来应该问为什么中国公司在美国设立分部。饶了我吧

Andrew-nu8ez

LOL, how paranoid and racist we are.  Isn't Google and Amazon spying on me.

哈哈，我们是多么偏执和种族主义啊。谷歌和亚马逊不是在监视我吗？

Many people buy China cars in Singapore :

BYD, GEELY, CHERY, ZEEKR , DENZA .

Nice design, advanced built-in feature, tip top quality.

DYD on Singapore road the most.

The price is suit for buyers.

很多新加坡人买中国车：比亚迪、吉利、奇瑞、极氪、腾势。

漂亮的设计，先进的功能，一流的质量。

在新加坡的路上，比亚迪最多，价格很适合。

why? america gets these cars made in factories in china

为什么美国在中国的工厂生产汽车？

If someone is hit and k*lled by an autonomous vehicle who would be responsible and what would be the repercussions of it would anyone go to jail?

如果有人被自动驾驶汽车撞了，谁来负责，后果会怎样，有人会进监狱吗？

In the US, all image sensing, recognition and response processing takes place on board, while in Chinese cities the CCTV systems ID and track all vehicles, providing all the spatial data the system requires. Thus, US testing takes place owing to the US being the target market, the disparate systems limiting autonomous exports. Plus of course, cars find english a whole lot easier to read.

在美国，所有的图像感知、识别和响应处理都是在车上进行的，而在中国城市，闭路电视系统识别和跟踪所有车辆，提供系统所需的所有空间数据。

因此，在美国进行测试是因为美国是目标市场，不同的系统限制了自动驾驶汽车的出口。当然，汽车发现英语更容易读取。

Plain, if China doesn’t want us testing data on their roads, then why should we feel compelled to allow them on our roads to do so? Eye for an eye, but if you want somewhat equal competition, pony up.

很明显，如果中国不希望我们在他们的道路上测试数据，那我们为什么要允许他们在我们的道路上测试数据？以眼还眼，但如果你想要公平竞争，那就付钱吧。

johnbollenbacher6715

Why would anyone at the California DMV 3:53 think it’s a good idea to let our competition test their product on our roads. Seems very weird.

为什么加州车管所的人会认为让我们的竞争对手在我们的道路上测试他们的产品是个好主意呢？很奇怪。

Not A word about Tesla??

对特斯拉只字不提？？

I used to work at AutoX. The food delivery service ended in 2020; as a result of the pandemic, the company let go of all the operations team members.
