優步與Wayve在倫敦推出自動駕駛計程車服務

Quick Look

優步與英國自駕車技術公司Wayve於倫敦推出首項自動駕駛計程車服務,初期使用少於20輛福特Mustang Mach-E電動車進行試營運,乘客可透過Uber應用程式隨機叫車,費用與一般車輛相同,車輛仍配備隨車人員監控並可介入。此服務使倫敦成為歐洲第二座提供此類服務的城市,而Waymo與百度等公司也正準備進入倫敦市場。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

歐洲各國對自駕計程車引進持謹慎態度,英國要求無安全駕駛員營運需經嚴格審查核准,因此倫敦試營運車輛仍配備隨車人員監控並可介入。

出行與配送服務共享平台「優步」(Uber)與英國自駕車技術新創公司Wayve,3日在倫敦聯手推出當地首項自動駕駛計程車(Robotaxi)服務,讓當地居民得以親身體驗這項已在美國等地普及的新科技。

美聯社報導,雙方初期將以不到20輛配備Wayve自動駕駛技術的福特Mustang Mach-E電動休旅車,進行小規模試營運。乘客在使用Uber應用程式叫車時,可能被隨機配對到自駕車,費用與一般車輛相同,乘客可自由選擇是否搭乘,且行程結束後系統不會要求給予小費。

請繼續往下閱讀...

相較於美國和中國已有多個城市實現車內完全沒有安全監督員的「全無人」商業營運,但歐洲各國對於引進自駕計程車仍相當謹慎。依據英國政府目前的試營運監督架構,業者若要在無安全駕駛員的情況下營運,仍須經過嚴格審查與核准。

因此,倫敦上路的自駕計程車仍配有一名隨車人員,隨時監控路況,並在出現狀況時介入,接管方向盤或煞車。

倫敦是繼克羅埃西亞首都薩格勒布(Zagreb)之後,第2座提供這類服務的歐洲城市。報導指出,倫敦狹窄且錯綜複雜的道路網絡,經常塞滿公車、單車與租賃電動自行車,加上當地法律並未禁止行人隨意穿越馬路,對自駕系統而言是極具難度的考驗。

目前包括Google母公司Alphabet旗下的Waymo與中國的百度,也正加緊準備在倫敦推出客運服務。優步自駕業務主管馬雷迪亞(Sarfraz Maredia)表示,車隊規模未來將逐步擴大;隨著英國政府持續完善相關法規,歐洲這場新世代運輸科技的角逐戰正逐漸拉開序幕。

Artificial intelligence chip giant Huida announced that it will acquire developer platform Hugging Face for US$12.93 billion, which is one of the largest acquisitions in the company's history. Huida's shares rose more than 1% in early trading after the transaction. Huida emphasized that Hugging Face will remain an open platform, and developers can develop or deploy it without using its chips. This move aims to obtain developer insights and data, narrow the technology gap with top laboratories in the United States and China, and respond to the trend of large customers reducing their reliance on self-developed chips.

Hefei opens low-altitude logistics drone route, enabling intercity express delivery in 15 minutes

The Hefei Municipal Service Center launched a low-altitude logistics drone route, carrying ID cards and other items to the mail processing center of the railway station 15 kilometers away. It only takes 15 minutes, saving nearly 10 times the time compared with ground transportation. The route relies on China Telecom's customized 5G low-altitude private network and video network AI monitoring system to achieve full communication, monitoring and dispatching. Since normalized operations in February 2025, the average daily express delivery volume has exceeded 200 items, supporting next-day delivery. Anhui Province is the third pilot province for low-altitude airspace management reform in the country, and Hefei City has used low-altitude economy as an engine for the development of new productivity and has opened more than 260 drone routes.

China's National Earthquake Intensity Rapid Reporting and Early Warning Project has been fully completed, achieving multi-regional second-level early warning capabilities

China's National Earthquake Intensity Rapid Reporting and Early Warning Project will be fully completed in July 2024. It will achieve second-level earthquake early warning capabilities in five key areas such as North China, the southeastern coast, the north-south seismic belt, the middle section of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, and Lhasa in Tibet. The country will have the ability to report earthquake parameters and intensity at the minute level. The project breaks through the three core goals of rapid processing, accurate research and judgment, and system stability. However, there are technical limitations such as blind spots in early warning, short early warning time in areas with severe damage, and difficulty in achieving both "fastness" and "accuracy."
