Hop on! The Autonomous RoboBus Hits the Road<\/span> <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the heart of central Guizhou<\/span>, the Guian New Area, an emerging tech hub tied to China’s<\/span> national development strategy, is undergoing rapid transformation. Data flows at scale\u00a0while\u00a0cutting-edge technologies are gaining momentum. Smart\u00a0and efficient living is becoming the norm. The Guian Encounters\u00a0series explores this\u00a0dynamic region, offering a closer look at Guizhou’s<\/span> journey toward Chinese-style modernization. One such story begins inside a rather extraordinary factory.<\/p>\n

Have you ever ridden a bus without a driver?<\/p>\n

On May 4<\/span>, Guizhou’s<\/span> first autonomous bus route, the Huaxi University Town Express Line, officially launched. It immediately became the “top influence” on the roads.<\/p>\n

The RoboBus\u00a0on the line was developed and manufactured by\u00a0PIX Moving,using pure electric power system and panoramic glass body design. It has a rated capacity of 6 passengers and level 4 autonomous driving. The bus\u00a0features a symmetrical design.There’s no front or back. With a smooth, rounded body resembling a big potato, paired with\u00a0futuristic silver-gray paint,it’s called the “Potato Bus”.<\/p>\n

Step into the bus, traditional driving elements like the steering wheel and pedals are gone. In their place are four\u00a0digital screens, displaying\u00a0speed, traffic, map, and stop announcements.<\/p>\n

The body of the\u00a0bus is equipped with\u00a0LiDAR, ultrasonic radars,\u00a0and cameras, providing a 360-degree view with no blind spots. Like the\u00a0eyes of a driver, these sensors monitor the surroundings, detect traffic\u00a0in real-time, and send this data to the control system, which acts as the brain, powered by\u00a0AI control algorithms. The “brain” processes incoming sensor data, then generates intelligent driving strategies. So the bus operates like an experienced driver. It can read traffic lights, dodge obstacles, even yield to pedestrians, ensuring a safe journey every time.<\/p>\n

The entire route is 5 kilometers, with a commute time of 15 to 20 minutes,connecting multiple campuses, bringing a smart travel experience to students, faculty, and nearby residents.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
