Domestic car rental company Shenzhou Car Rental and Baidu Apollo jointly announced today to officially launch the world's first autonomous car rental product for the public. At least 18 years old can use the “fully automated driving+full-process self-help” short-term rental service. Shenzhou Car Rental's autonomous car rental service is based on Baidu Apollo's L4 autonomous driving platform and is advertised as “the first car rental product in China to achieve autonomous driving and full-process self-service.” Through the Shenzhou Car Rental App, users can complete the “reserve-pick-return” operation process in 3 steps — reserve a car time and pickup point when placing an order, and the system automatically matches the nearest vehicle; when picking up the car, the vehicle will accurately stop at the designated location, and the user only needs to pass authentication to unlock the vehicle; at the end of the trip, the vehicle will automatically drive in according to the user's designated return point without any operation. In the process of using a car, users can set flexible and independent itineraries within the scope of operation to explore destinations such as food, beautiful scenery, culture, and monuments. Yu Hongfei, chairman of Shenzhou Car Rental, said at the press conference, “As cars evolve from mechanical tools to smart partners, travel itself becomes a new medium for people to communicate with the world — the ultimate significance of this transformation is not that cars can 'drive themself', but that it allows humans to explore the possibilities of life more freely. When cars no longer require constant human control, we were finally able to free our hands and redefine the value of time 'on the road'. From simple vehicles to intelligent spaces that carry the interaction of life scenes, this transformation is reshaping the essential human perception of 'travel'.” According to the person in charge of Shenzhou Car Rental's smart driving product, Shenzhou Car Rental's smart driving products fully take into account user needs in terms of service details. The first batch of “Radish Fast Run” customized vehicles supported up to 3 passengers, and the operation process was deeply adapted to Baidu Apollo's autonomous driving system to ensure that users were “zero learning costs”. In terms of pricing, it is consistent with Shenzhou Car Rental's existing short-term rental products. It supports flexible reservations from 4 hours to 7 days, covering various scenarios such as daily commuting and weekend trips.
