Recently, the topic of Baidu’s self-driving taxi Carrot Run has aroused heated discussion among netizens. According to Tencent News Shenwang, they recently went to Wuhan to experience the Carrot Kuaishou unmanned vehicle. According to the report, the price of a few cents per kilometer for running a carrot has long become a thing of the past.On July 14 and 15, they called Carrot Run 24 times in multiple districts in Wuhan, and successfully called 6 times.

Among these 6 orders, the actual price per kilometer is as low as RMB 1.6 cents and as high as RMB 9.8 cents;If all preferential subsidies are removed, based on the original price, the lowest price of Luobo Kuaipao is 4 yuan and 6 cents per kilometer, and the highest price is 6 yuan and 7 cents.

Even including subsidies, the price of experiencing Luobo Kuaipao is already the same as the price of local online car-hailing services in Wuhan. Many users reported that the price of Luobo Kuaipao has increased compared with previous years.

In addition, there is still room for improvement in the taxi-hailing experience of Luobo Kuaipao.Carrot Run is still like a bus and can only get on and off at fixed stops.

Moreover, some of the pick-up points during their experience were not surrounded by subways, bus stations, or even shared cars, nor were they conveniently located for online car-hailing services to park and pick up passengers. They had the experience of waiting for more than an hour without getting a driverless car.

Another drawback is that the current trunk of the Luobo Kuaipao unmanned vehicle cannot be opened, and the luggage carried by passengers cannot be placed in the trunk and can only be squeezed into the passenger compartment. If you carry large luggage or a lot of luggage, the ride comfort is difficult to guarantee.

However, regarding the emergence of Luobo Kuaipao, a driver who has been running online ride-hailing services in Wuhan for many years said:

Some netizens said,Now the carrots in Wuhan have replaced all the taxi drivers in Wuhan. The layoff of taxi drivers is a rumor.

The current impact of Carrot Run on them is very limited. Their daily water flow will be the same. It will never threaten us humans, because some roads in Wuhan are very congested, and Carrot Run is still afraid to come.
