Chinese Manufacturer Yadea Innovates With Autonomous Technology, Production in the Manaus Free Trade Zone And Affordable Prices in The National Market
During the Interlagos Festival in São Paulo, the Chinese giant Yadea presented its first autonomous electric scooter, which balances itself and can move without a rider, with commands sent via mobile phone or computer, according to the site Olhar Digital.
The technology is still in the testing phase and currently allows only small maneuvers (such as going forward or backward). An intelligent gyroscope ensures the vehicle’s balance, even without a driver. Tests are being conducted in China, Thailand, and Mexico. There is still no forecast for commercial launch.
