Zoox driverless electric car unveiled:
This driverless electric car launched by Zoox has many bright spots in appearance, and even some exaggeration. The design of this car is different from that of ordinary cars. The body is square and doesn't feel like the front part of a traditional car.
In addition to the car body is the wheel, and the position of the wheel is very front, which is also obvious. In addition, the window area of this driverless electric car is very large, covering almost all the space on the side of the vehicle.
At the same time, the car is also equipped with two 133 kWh battery packs, one under each row of seats. In addition, the camera, lidar and radar system provide a 270-degree view from the four corners of the car, which basically eliminates blind spots.
Oriental Fortune Network-Amazon subsidiary launched a driverless electric car: 4 people do not need a steering wheel, and can run 16 hours on a single charge.
