I was listening to Guancha folks talking about UGVs they saw at Zhuhai air show and their personal experience with auto parking on BYD today. And it dawned on me that China's growth in AV means that they have all the ingredient necessary to be producing the best UGVs in the world. All the chips needed to control passenger vehicles would also be entirely usable in UGVs. Same with a lot of the sensors they are building for detecting obstacles and other vehicles. Same with AI/software used to drive around the most complicated road systems.
It'd be shocking to me if China doesn't have the cheapest and most effective UGVs out there.
