Seems like a university student project. They took Tesla's open-source software and stuck a few cameras and sensors. I do not think they have invested in safety technologies and redundant safety systems. A brake pedal alone in the backseat is a joke. How many testing hours and miles have they completed???

Correction to the title: China's first self-driving taxis are hitting pedestrians in Guangzhou.

Tesla starts to release its cars' open-source Linux software code


Tesla is still a long way from fully releasing its cars' full open-source programs and Linux operating system code, but it's on its way.

Nothing good is free: How Linux and open source companies make money
Nothing good is free: How Linux and open source companies make money

We all know how popular and helpful Linux and open source products are, but since most of them are available for free, how do the companies that produce them make any money to pay their bills? As it turns out, lots of ways.

It's an open secret: Tesla cars are powered not only by batteries but by open-source software. Until recently, though, Tesla hasn't lived up to its obligations under open-source licenses, but now Tesla is finally releasing some of its Linux source code for the Model S and X cars.

The Tesla GitHub repository contains the code for the Model S/X 2018.12 software release. Specifically, it holds the system image on the Tesla Autopilot platform, the kernel sources for its underlying hardware, and the code for its Nvidia Tegra-based infotainment system.

Tesla will release additional open-source code for other systems in their cars soon. According to Tesla, "Work is underway on preparing sources in other areas as well, together with a more coordinated information page. We wanted to let you know about this material as it is available now while work continues on the other parts." The electric car thought-leader will also update its code as updated software releases are made.

Looks like you never even bother to see thru the video? Didnt it mention it has tested 60,000km mileage? Typical racism ignorant post that think Chinese cant invent anything.. It just like saying Lavi digital FBW software can be copy into J-10.
The rules, road condition and driving habit are totally different from US. You cannot just get a Tesla software copy it and think it will work in China driving road conditon.. Basically, everything needs to be rewrite which makes it a new software. This is essentially a indigenous Chinese invented self driving software for Chinese road condition. Happy with the answer? Or you going to get sour becos Chinese make their own instead of your racist expectation that it is a copy of Tesla? As for the foot brake, you expect not to have foot brake for an full autonomous driving taxi? If the system goes bad, good luck to you with no means to bypass the software control or you want to get up from your seat try to pull up the handbrake in front in emergency situation? May I know is this your genius suggestion?

And may I know you are from which country? No ball(maybe you have no balls) to show flag or too ashame to show yours?

It's high time countries should come up with a comprehensive AI policy.

Certain service sectors like Taxi driving/ride sharing are still sources of significant employment generation even in developed countries.

But do you know for developed nations, they have problem getting enough driver? Many not willing to be a truck driver or think driving job is not prestige enough and therefore shelve away from it.

Driving is surely not a prestigious job but how many people have uni degrees to have white collar jobs? Plus, Uber is the prime source of income for those unemployed, or have just lost a job, even for kids who want to earn some extra bucks.

They can go become a truck driver or bus driver which is short of manpower. Yet, nobody take those job. Thats is why autonomous comes in.....

Awesome, expect india to compete with their modern self-flushing toilets.
