China is open to Tesla and Apple. Whereas US sanctions and taxes Huawei and Chinese EV.

terrible hosting segment. let her talk man.

[Issavibe]

The hosts are trying so hard to press her her into saying the tech is not good 😂

Another point I want to call out: in the map, you can actually specify if you want to have a human supervisor or not. So I really don't know what is the fuss about "try and error" to get a car without the human supervisor. I have seen multiple vloggers specifically use that feature and the cab shows up quite fast.

It really feel that this reporter is making it "less convenient" to smooth the anxiety of the American viewers. Go check out the vloggers doing the same in Guangzhou and Beijing. The experience is smooth and swift. That said, all of them have one big gap: they are limited to some city areas only. It is not for the whole city yet. But it is getting there.

the man host looks so uncomfortable knowing china already has self drive taxi years ahead of tesla, what a buffoon

[ZgO_o]

The guy cant accept China is doing it good, he heard China was collapsing

[tipoomaster]

How is this guy an experienced host, he just keeps blathering on and not letting people get a succinct answer in

[thesecondgroup]

The interviewer is trying so hard to create an impression to the viewers that, the Chinese ones she sat in were crap, but he failed miserably.

[正思]

The host was overwhelmed by China's advanced technology.

[josephhall]

host sounded concerned that a Chinese company might be pulling ahead technologically

Gina Raymondo running in circles around a table: "AAAAHHHH.... AAAHHH... BAN THEM.... BAN THEM! AAAAH..."

[hullopillow]

That's not even a first in China, there's already quite a afew autonomous driving operators duking on the road before Baidu.

😂Sober Joe … atta boy ! One day at a time. Jeez thank goodness Eunice is always more than classy and sharp in her reporting.

[frederickdalusim]

Robotaxi without human driver is amazing❤️

[alanalan]

The Americans thought they are ahead in auto driving !

[ramonching]

That guy in the studio is so uncomfortable because he cannot find anything bad to say.

Didn’t her app show 15 minutes for the first taxi, guess the four hours is because she skipped a few with satay person. Watched a Japanese NHK video test in Beijing, she got a taxi with no safety person in about 15 minutes but she couldn’t call one as a foreigner so had to have a Chinese coworker assisting her. It’s good that nobody blocked the taxi on the road on purpose or smashed the car like video I saw happened in San Francisco. Hope Biden 100% tariff doesn’t impact Tesla advancement in Chinese market.

Not everyone is confident or comfortable with no-man taxi, this is why some units comes with driver assistant (its still automated). I think this is fair as the system still need time to test, evaluate before its launch as full proofs system

For unmanned robot taxi, you need to press on the icon without driver
