5G-assisted unmanned delivery car hits roads in Nanjing
    2019-08-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

AN unmanned delivery car with 5G wireless technology hit the roads in the city of Nanjing, capital of East China’s Jiangsu Province over the weekend.

The white mini car, with a height of about 0.5 meters, was launched in Jiangbei New Area by Suning Logistics, a subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce giant Suning to support the company’s smart retail service.

A customer surnamed Shi, placed an order over his mobile phone. Then, Sun Rongrong, a shop assistant at a convenience store of Suning, put the drinks Shi ordered in the unmanned car and created a password for the customer before the delivery.

Taking only five minutes, the 5G-assisted delivery car sent the drinks to Shi’s company and sent a short message letting him know it had arrived. After Shi got his drinks, the car also issued a voice message to him: “Goodbye, remember to miss me!”

Ling Yunfei, director of Suning Logistics Group Logistics Research Institute, said the unmanned delivery car was upgraded on the basis of another such kind of car that was launched in April 2018.

The car’s self-driving performance has been greatly improved, allowing it to pass traffic lights on its own and at a faster speed, with a normal average operating speed of 8 km/h, and up to 15 km/h, according to Ling. It can also detect obstacles 100 meters away and avoid them, Ling added.
