Vehicles with autonomous driving capabilities tend to cost more to buyers than regular vehicles. This is because the self-driving sightseeing car itself has many advanced technologies and functions, such as unmanned driving technology and self-service cruise and passenger collection functions, which require manufacturers to spend more money on materials and maintenance.
Here are the factors that affect the cost of purchase::
1.Cost of autonomous driving technology: Autonomous driving systems require the use of a large number of sensors, cameras, radars and other equipment, as well as high-performance computing and processing units to achieve real-time environmental awareness and decision-making functions, and the cost of these technologies is relatively high, which will directly increase the purchase cost of the vehicle.
2.Data processing and storage costs: Autonomous vehicles generate a large amount of sensor data, which requires real-time data processing and storage, which involves high-performance computing equipment and large-capacity storage devices, which also requires a lot of costs.
3.Safety requirements and certification costs: Autonomous vehicles need to undergo rigorous safety testing and certification to ensure their reliability and safety in a variety of situations, and these testing and certification efforts require significant time and resources, and the cost of attrition increases.
4.Enhanced design and manufacturing requirements: Autonomous sightseeing vehicles need to have higher design and manufacturing standards to ensure their stability and reliability in autonomous driving mode, which means that higher quality materials and more advanced production processes need to be used, and the cost of purchase will increase with quality.
Although the purchase cost of self-driving sightseeing vehicles is high, it is expected that the cost will gradually decrease as related technologies develop and mature, and more people will be able to enjoy the convenience and experience brought by autonomous sightseeing vehicles.
