Cao Dewang: Refusing to take driverless cars, the industry cost is "too high"

If I was asked to sit in a driverless car, I refused."

At the 14th China Automotive Blue Book Forum in 2022, Cao Dewang said that he likes to "drive fast" but refuses to take a fully autonomous car.He said that he believes in the next generation, and when it comes to my son and grandson, it should be fine.

But Cao Dewang's own point of view is: "I am old now, and there is no need to sit like this."

At the same time, Cao Dewang said that if he does not ride in a driverless car, it is not just a matter of not daring to sit.Rather, it believes that the current cost of the driverless business model is too high.He said that a driverless car requires more than 1,000 chips. If a chip is 10 US dollars, it will be too expensive.

Regarding the development trend of smart cars, Cao Dewang also gave his own views."I believe that electric vehicles are the direction of development, and I think development is necessary, but I don't know how to scale it now. Because it will involve large-scale capital."

At the same time, in the face of the opportunity of the booming development of smart cars, Cao Dewang also thinks that he "doesn't understand", so it is more appropriate to let people in the meeting enter the game.He said, the word opportunity, one is opportunity, and the other is to meet.

"When I meet this opportunity, I won't, so I (can only) stand there and sigh and let only those who know do it."
