Chinese car brands hit accelerator on road tests for level three autonomous driving tech
China has given the go-ahead to nine local car brands to start testing level three autonomous vehicles on public roads.
Applications for the trials opened in November last year. Among the nine brands accepted are BYD and Nio, as well as government-run firms including Changan Automobile and SAIC, per a statement from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, reports Reuters. Taxi companies with autonomous cars will also be participating.

There are a lot of studies and prototypes flying around…
My aunt had one of those when we were young! I loved that car!
Last week I toured Dredge #4 near Dawson City, YT. It was powered from the get-go by electric motors. They float in a pool which travels with the dredge as it scoops up gravel in front and dumps it in the back. Gold was collected every two weeks. Apparently there were 24 of these in the region and another one can be seen in Chicken, AK.
These things give off proto Spice Harvester energy.

One guy controlled the digging ladder / buckets with this transmission
And did something with a bank of these thingies: I’m guessing a throttle?
The various gearing was extensive and immense
The mechanicals were made in Ohio and the timbers from BC then all of it was shipped up and assembled on site.
