Truck driving is hard labor, and very few people in Europe and America are willing to do it.
Therefore, the pay for this profession is quite considerable, and truck drivers have a certain degree of bargaining power, so arguments and disputes often occur.
Back in 2019, America had a shortage of 60,000 truck drivers.
In the two years following the pandemic, the shortage of truck drivers was originally projected to reach 100,000 by 2023. However, due to the pandemic, the shortage of 100,000 truck drivers was brought forward to 2022.
By 2024, America alone will face a shortage of approximately 120,000 truck drivers.
Some delivery truck companies in America have even relaxed their screening of marijuana usage records.
In recent years, the problem of soaring resource prices in Europe has continued to escalate.
The energy shortage has not been alleviated despite the calming of the global situation.
As a result of the rapid rise in oil prices, truck drivers in France have been frequently tripping up.
To avoid this problem, France not only introduced autonomous driving technology from England.
They also introduced a batch of autonomous electric trucks jointly developed by Baidu and FAW.
The French side is considering a multi-pronged approach, seeing which side's products are better before making large-scale purchases.
Chinese-made and English-made trucks are priced similarly in the field of autonomous driving, but China's advantage lies in electric trucks.
Electric trucks equipped with the latest battery technology from Kechuang Biotechnology have a range that far surpasses that of ordinary trucks, and electric vehicles also effectively avoid the disadvantage of high fuel prices.
Therefore, FAW's electric trucks sell very well in Western countries, and only a few countries have chosen to equip them with electric trucks featuring autonomous driving technology.
Many European and American countries still have reservations about allowing Chinese autonomous driving technology into their countries.
The American side went so far as to exaggerate in the media that China's autonomous driving technology would steal their geographic data.
"This poses a serious threat to the security of the Western world, and we should restrict China's autonomous driving technology."
The problem is that this is no longer the 19th century; satellites in the sky have long since collected all the geographical data, both the ones they should and shouldn't collect.
Where electric trucks can go, satellites in the sky will only capture clearer images.
America and even some European countries simply don't want to see China take the lead over them in the field of artificial intelligence.
Even a specific subfield within the field of artificial intelligence is not acceptable.
Among these countries, France is relatively friendly, and therefore took the lead in purchasing China's autonomous driving technology.
In order to gain an advantage in the competition with the Chinese, the English even took the initiative to lower prices.
"Before we mastered the science and technology innovation technology, we simply couldn't compete with the Chinese in the electric vehicle field."
“The semi-project should be modified to some extent, rather than sticking to the old ways. We don’t have to do everything ourselves.”
Since 2020, people have realized that trucks need to operate around the clock, but there is a huge shortage of manpower, and the difficulty of autonomous driving of trucks is far less than that of driving in cities.
A large number of companies dedicated to the field of autonomous truck technology have emerged.
Tesla appears to be the most likely new energy giant to achieve this.
They announced their internal plan for an autonomous electric truck called semi back in 2021.
"Chinese electric trucks have a range of up to 3,000 kilometers, while our Tesemi only has a range of 800 kilometers. Compared to Chinese electric trucks, the Tesemi's range is too short!"
“We can adopt the same approach as Baidu and Tencent, and cooperate with Chinese automakers to launch Chinese electric trucks equipped with Tesla’s autopilot technology.”
"Appropriate compromises are necessary before we can get the science and technology innovation biotechnology sorted out."
Musk has largely stopped interfering in Tesla's day-to-day operations; in other words, he basically doesn't interfere in the operations of any of his own companies.
He devoted all his energy to researching magoin.
Originally, he only focused most of his energy on SpaceX, but he would still pay attention to it.
After Apple unearthed its first magoin, Muska devoted all his energy to his wholly-owned company, magicunlimited, which specializes in magoin mining.
Musk originally thought the future would be the space age, and he wanted to take people to Mars.
This is not easy to do, but he hopes to see it happen in his lifetime.
When magic appeared before the world, Musk believed that the future would be the age of magic.
Especially after he learned from inside sources in Washington that using the Magic Brain could not only grant spellcasting abilities but also extend lifespan and significantly enhance logical thinking skills.
If Musk loses, the future magicians will form an even more irreparable divide with ordinary people than the current top and bottom levels.
Becoming a magician is Musk's only goal in the short term.
To reduce disputes, he used his own cash to establish a company exclusively for himself.
Musk doesn't care about the possibility of being controlled by Merlin.
In his view, gain and loss are equivalent; it is worthwhile to lose a certain degree of freedom in order to gain magic.
Moreover, no one in the world has absolute freedom.
Tesla's current CEO is Baglino, formerly the vice president in charge of technology. He joined Tesla as early as 2006 and is the most senior executive in Tesla.
Originally, Kechuang Bio planned to open its lithium battery technology to overseas markets in early 2024. However, after accepting investment from the Chinese government, the Chinese government blocked all external pressure for Kechuang Bio.
