京東與上汽、東風汽車合作推無人駕駛貨車

Inc, China's second-largest e-commerce player, announced partnerships with Chinese auto makers SAIC Maxus and Dongfeng Motor Corporation to conduct research on the country's first automatic vans.

日前，中國第二大電子商務公司京東宣佈，該公司與中國汽車製造商上汽大通和東風汽車公司建立合作關係，對中國首批自動貨車進行研究。

The e-commerce giant has jointly developed two models of automatic light electric vans with SAIC Maxus and Dongfeng respectively, for the delivery of goods from JD's distribution centers to delivery stations.

這家電子商務巨頭已分別與上汽大通和東風共同研發了兩款自動輕型電動貨車，用於將貨物從京東的配送中心運送到派送站。

SAIC Maxus' electric van can sense obstacles 150 meters away and plan its route leveraging its radar system, sensors and positioning system.

其中，上汽大通的電動貨車能夠感受150米以內的障礙物，然後使用雷達系統、傳感器和定位系統來規劃其路線。

To date the van has conducted successful tests of automatic route planning, overtaking, obstacle avoidance and self-parking functions, according to JD.

據京東方面表示，目前該貨車已經成功通過了自動路線規劃、緊急剎車、避開障礙物和自動停車等多項測試。

The partners will carry out all-round cooperation to promote the development of automatic vehicles and related technologies, and improve the construction of an intelligent logistics system.

雙方將開展全方位合作，以推動自動化車輛及相關技術的發展，同時改進智能物流系統的構建。

Automatic vans are the latest addition to JD's automated vehicle family. The company is increasingly betting on its intelligent logistics operations to differentiate itself from Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

自動貨車是京東自動化配送車輛家族的新型產品。該公司正逐漸加大對智能物流業務的投入，以期在與阿里巴巴的競爭中脫穎而出。
