Chongqing Feilong Jiangli latest information. In addition to the mainstream automobile manufacturers, companies that develop automated driving and networked automotive technology are also facing huge risks, and may lose key start-up funds to buy and refit cars and fail to test their software. Vehicles must be powered by wires, equipped with on-board cameras and sensors, and managed with a large number of data generated by vehicles and other technology stacks. StreetDrone calls itself "Android in the world of autopilot world", and others can build autopilot based on its operating system.
Bestmile announced that it has partnered with StreetDrone, a manufacturer of Intelligent Networked Autopilot Technology. The two sides will integrate Bestmile's mobile travel service platform with StreetDrone's Xenos platform so that StreetDrone can provide a complete automobile and mobile travel service operating system.

Bestmile's platform also provides advanced matching algorithms that can process travelers, vehicles and third-party data and send the right vehicles to the right place at the right time. Data intelligence and machine learning technology will improve system performance continuously. Service providers around the world can use the platform to configure service areas, define key performance indicators such as vehicle usage and waiting time, and monitor services in real time.

Amazon, an American retail giant, said on Jan. 23 that it had deployed six self-driving, pure electric vehicles to deliver goods to communities near Washington's Snohomish County. The car is the same size as a small cooler and is decorated with a Prime logo.
The six round of autopilot will be driven along the delivery route at walking speed, initially accompanied by an employee. Amazon said the car was developed by its Seattle research and development laboratory to ensure safe driving around pedestrians, pets and other objects.
Amazon, like several other big retailers, has begun to use driverless cars to transport groceries or other goods with the launch of the Automated Delivery Vehicle Amazon Scout. WAL-MART (Walmart) and partners Udelv, Ford and Waymo participated in several pilot projects to complete online grocery orders using autopilot cars. In December 2018, Kroger launched its first self-driving express service for the public. Last week, American snack giant Ahold Delhaize partnered with San Francisco-based Robomart to test-run driverless cars using its Stop & Shop chain.

OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts for Your Car: How to Choose
APF posted a topic in General Auto Parts Discussion,
When selecting parts for a car repair, it pays to know the differences between original and aftermarket parts. Whenever possible, get estimates for both.
Choosing between original and aftermarket car parts — and even used parts of either type — is all about squaring your priorities with your budget.
You’ll have different options depending on the part and the shop. And the best choice will depend on whether you’re trying to keep repairs cheap, restore your car’s appearance after a wreck or soup up your ride.
Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts match those that came with your car, and are of the same quality as its original parts. They’re also the most expensive.-

Replacement Intervals For Oil And Air Filters In Today’s Vehicles
APF posted a topic in Automotive Wipers, Filters, Oil & Lubricants,
The factory-recommended replacement intervals for filters can vary quite a bit depending on the year, make and model of the vehicle, as well as how it is driven. As a rule, older vehicles (those more than 15 to 20 years old) typically have more frequent service intervals than newer vehicles. Why? Because late-model vehicles require less maintenance, thanks to improvements in motor oils, transmission fluids, engine design and filter media.
Many long-life air and oil filters use synthetic fiber media or a blend of cellulose and synthetic fibers to extend filter life.
Changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles was standard practice decades ago. But it’s no longer necessary because most multi-viscosity oils today are a synthetic blend or a full synthetic that resist viscosity breakdown and oxidation for a much longer period of time. Late-model fuel-injected engines also run much cleaner than their carbureted ancestors, which reduces oil contamination in the crankcase.-
