Especially since AutoX operates a fleet of over 1000 driverless cars in Shenzhen.[1][2] BYD was licensing NVidia's self-driving car technology. So apparently that doesn't work. [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]

Slightly off topic, but it's fun to see company culture reflected in the algorithm behaviour. There are thousands of clips of Tesla's Fatal Self Driving being far too aggressive for American roads ( [LINK] ). Meanwhile, companies like AutoX have the problem of being far too conservative for Asian roads ( [VIDEO] ). AutoX has some of the best edge case handling I've seen.

[VIDEO] Clearly not perfect in how it handles this as it doesn’t really back up or go onto the sidewalk but these Chinese self-driving cars are handling quite difficult scenarios. It’s like there’s a phase transition from theoretical ideal driving to ignoring street markings and navigating based on how much space there is around you and intentions of surrounding vehicles. Looks difficult but not impossible. There are similar videos showing Teslas handling double parked vehicles and oncoming traffic too.
