American media: One day when you experience the "driver" of autonomous driving taxis in China

Q: Since you don't drive, what are you responsible for in the car?

Answer: When I was on the driver's seat, I observed the road conditions and turned the vehicle to turn the vehicle when there was a problem. When I am on the co -pilot seat, I will pay more attention to the situation around the vehicle. Since I cannot use the steering wheel, (if manual intervention is needed) I will contact cloud -based operators (the latter can take over the vehicle at any time in emergency situations -editor's note).

Q: How did you feel when you first started?

Answer: I was scared at first, because I was not a person who controlled the car. But it is actually safe, it is self -driving according to traffic regulations.

Question: You have been a safety officer for a year and a half. Will you feel a little strange to drive your car again?

Answer: I am not used to it at first. When I return to my car for a day, I will treat it as a autonomous vehicle. Sometimes when I get on the car, I will instinctively sit on the passenger seat. When I drive, I want the car to brake automatically. But after a few times, I was used to it, and then returned to normal.

Q: Do you think you have an impact on the advancement of autonomous driving technology?

Answer: Because we are in the car every day, we can find more problems and report it afterwards. (Author Yang Zeyi, translated by Ding Yuqing)
