British media: Self-driving cargo trucks have been put into use in Chinese ports

[English media: Self-driving cargo trucks have been put into use in China's ports] British media said that Caofeidian Port in northern China became the first port to use autonomously driven cargo trucks in the form of self-driving trucking truck fleets.

According to the report of the British New Scientist Weekly website on April 26th, on the morning of a spring day in the Caofeidian port in northern China, a giant quay crane lifts a container full of cargo and moves it to the side. Trucks. Although someone is sitting in the car, careful observers will find that the truck is giving orders.

According to the report, this is because this truck is one of the fleets of five autopilot cargo trucks. This is the first time that an autopilot truck has been put into use in this port.

The pilot project aims to prove that self-driving vehicles can function as "terminal tractors" and transport containers from the shore of the port to the freight yard.

The report noted that in recent years, some large ports have been using self-driving container trucks, such as Yangshan Port near Shanghai and Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, but this self-driving truck has not been popular in other places. This is because the cost of equipping and updating this system will be very high.

According to reports, a fully-autonomously driven vehicle often costs US$ 700,000. In some cases, special lighthouses or diversion signs must be installed in the port, which means that the port may need to be shut down for a few weeks to install and update the system. In contrast, Tucson Future Technology Co., Ltd., which provides autopilot cargo trucks for the Caofeidian port, said that they can modify a standard truck priced at US$50,000, and only need to install a camera worth US$20,000. Radar, GPS and computer processor, it can drive away.

Mr. Ouyang of Beijing Tucson Future Technology Co., Ltd. said that Tucson Future Technology Co., Ltd. is in talks with 10 ports in China and is expected to announce the signing of the first sales contract of the autopilot-end tractor in the second half of this year.

According to reports, other ports in Singapore and Europe are also piloting self-driving cargo trucks, but Caofeidian Port is the first port to use them in the form of fleets of self-driving cargo trucks.
