Since the beginning of November, I’m back at China, meeting the best companies in the AutoTech sector and industry leaders that push their teams to not only present Autonomous-Tech but also commercialize it! I feel fortunate to be back at this amazing country and speed up again “China pace” which is incredibly FAST! Last month 4 Chinese autonomous truck companies raised over USD 3 billion!! This position China at world dominance position in the sector.
I’d like to share few words regarding the pandemic situation that is disturbing all of us globally and some have doubts regarding the situation in China (a separate post will follow). China won Covid, achieving it by individual discipline, digital services and well gov. management. Doesn’t matter where you come from to China you have to do 2 covid test before the flight and 14 days quarantine in gov. hotel with additional 2 covid tests during these 2 weeks. In public transport all are wearing masks as well as any service provider, even that there were no new cases in the city for 6 months! Your phone track where you went if you have been exposed to anyone sick and you have to present the green code entering any hotel/ company/ conference ext. Until we have a vaccine it could have been amazing if our leaders and individuals could adopt some of the proven system China have developed to allow normal life within the country. All business is back to normal, universities, schools and offline shopping. OEMs and Autonomous Driving companies are moving ahead at full speed and the opportunities are endless. Hopefully we can learn from each other and work together to fight this pandemic, while stimulating the AutoTech sector and collaboration between local and global companies. Feel free to comment or reach out directly if you want to share ideas on this topic.
