Baidu's radish run has developed rapidly, and it was often seen on the wide road in Yizhuang, Beijing, but it was unthinkable that it had launched an unmanned online car-hailing that could be operated directly in just a few years. Baidu has invested a lot in this project, it is said that it is tens of billions large, and the technological progress is indeed very fast, and the progress is almost on par with Musk's unmanned system. But in today's society, it is difficult for Carrot Run to succeed.
First of all, the economic environment is still in the recovery period, and the United States interest rate hike has made us feel cool, and ordinary people feel that it is not easy to make money. In this case, all industries are linked, and the taxi industry will definitely not be too prosperous. In this case, it is very difficult for a new thing to succeed in starting a business.
Second, there is a lot of opposition from taxi drivers and ride-hailing drivers, and there are many sympathizers for this group. It is estimated that there are close to 5 million people driving taxis and online ride-hailing services nationwide. With so many people's jobs affected, the management will definitely be very cautious and listen to the opinions of these people. It is likely that autonomous driving will not be fully rolled out to promote it.
Third, now the voice of employment protection is very loud, drivers no longer do this business, will enter other industries, bring competition to this industry, and affect the jobs of a group of people. In this case, some people say that the radish run is a competition for jobs with the people, and the pressure will be great.
Of course, when technology brings about the emergence of new industries, there will always be resistance, and when online ride-hailing appeared, there was also pressure on taxis, and there was a lot of opposition at that time. Managers will not beat the industry brought about by new technology to death, otherwise it will hinder innovation. But now the carrot run does face a lot of disadvantages, and there will be many difficulties in the future, let's see how it overcomes.
