Alibaba Group to develop self-driving trucks with logistics unit Cainiao
HANGZHOU, China/BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese e-commerce leader Alibaba Group Holding
Ltd plans to develop self-driving trucks with logistics subsidiary
Cainiao, Chief Technology Officer Cheng Li said on Thursday.
Cheng also said Cainiao aims to introduce 1,000 autonomous
delivery robots in China over the next year.
The announcement comes as dozens of startups, automakers and large
technology firms, such as internet search leader Baidu Inc, accelerate work on self-driving
vehicle systems, which are widely expected to bring a sea
change to the transportation industry.
Other self-driving truck makers include U.S. firm TuSimple Holdings
Inc, which listed shares in April.
