Smart bus is the first to land before the family

Smart driving buses differ from personal vehicles in that their application scenarios and environments are more straightforward, making them more likely to gain popularity before smart cars for home use. However, there is still a long way to go, both in terms of technology and legislation. Although we havenâ€™t reached full autonomy yet, even companies like Tesla, Waymo, or Cruiseâ€”each with their own strengths in the smart driving spaceâ€”still require human intervention. The level of automation varies, but none have fully eliminated the need for a driver. General Motors (GM) has ambitious plans to move beyond city limits. Last month, it was reported that the U.S. government is pushing to allow fully autonomous vehicles on the road by 2019, with no pedals, brakes, or steering wheels. GM ranked first in Navigant Researchâ€™s 2017 autonomous driving competitiveness list, showing its strong position in the field. While personal smart driving continues to develop, public transportation is also exploring autonomous solutions. One example is â€œAlphaba,â€ a smart bus that recently made headlines in South China. In December, Alphaba began trial operations in the Futian Free Trade Zone in Shenzhen. According to international standards, Alphaba operates at Level 3, meaning it can handle most driving tasks but still requires a driver to respond when needed. While it's not fully autonomous (Level 5), it represents a significant step forward in intelligent driving in the region. Behind Alphaba is Hailiang Technology, a company focused on electrification, intelligence, and networking in the bus industry. Recently, Hailiang signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Scania, a leading Swedish manufacturer of commercial vehicles, to explore autonomous driving in the area. Scania, with over 127 years of experience, chose to partner with Hailiang because it sees potential in public transport as a starting point for autonomous driving. As He Mochi, executive director of Scania China, explained, "Public transport with fixed routes is easier to manage than private cars, and it's more likely to be the first to adopt unmanned driving." Additionally, due to labor shortages, especially in Europe, autonomous buses could help reduce reliance on human drivers in the future. They also offer improved safety and efficiency. Hailiangâ€™s founder, Hu Jianping, emphasized that the company aims to build a 5G-based smart driving demonstration project in Futian. With 5G technology, buses can achieve low latency, high bandwidth, and reliable connectivity, which are crucial for safe and efficient autonomous operation. As Alphaba enters its 2.0 version, the company is expanding its operations. The new phase includes running in a larger area within the Futian Free Trade Zone and collaborating with Scania to develop a world-class commercial vehicle control platform. Despite progress, security concerns remain. Smart buses have been tested in various countries, such as Greece and Germany, but incidents like the Las Vegas shuttle collision highlight the challenges of emergency response and system reliability. Legislation is also catching up. In December, Beijing introduced new regulations allowing autonomous vehicle testing on public roads, giving legal recognition to this emerging technology. These rules include requirements for insurance, testing procedures, and accountability for test drivers. In summary, while smart driving buses show great promise and are ahead of personal vehicles in adoption, the journey toward full autonomy still involves overcoming technical, legal, and safety challenges.
