In the beginning of 2020, a new coronary pneumonia epidemic caused by a new coronary virus, spreading throughout the country.
In order to win this war without smoke, all kinds of automobile and travel-related industries, including OEMs and parts companies, donate money and goods to show their love, and at the same time, grasp the production of negative pressure ambulances, unmanned delivery vehicles and other practical products, and put them on the front line of the fight against the epidemic.
Faced with urgent orders for negative-pressure ambulances issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, traditional domestic automobile enterprises, including JLF, Chery Riviera and Fujian Benz, started work in advance and worked overtime during the New Year period, compressing the production cycle of a negative-pressure ambulance from 20 to 30 days to about 10 days, thus providing a strong guarantee for avoiding the virus from secondary infection.
Meanwhile, during the outbreak, a line of defense consisting of low-speed unmanned vehicles (various types of autonomous robots equipped with unmanned technology) could be seen.
The new coronavirus relies heavily on respiratory droplets and contact transmission, so fine planning is also needed to reduce contact between people and to sanitize public **** spaces.
Fortunately, unmanned food delivery vehicles, unmanned distribution vehicles, and unmanned disinfection vehicles empowered by driverless technology have become an important force on the front lines of the fight against the epidemic, acting as four major roles: disinfection vehicles, indoor distribution vehicles, outdoor logistics vehicles, and patrol vehicles for public **** occasions.
A dozen low-speed unmanned vehicle companies, including Baidu, Jingdong, Gaoxian Robotics, Cool Wow Robotics, Smart Walker, Harness Technology, etc., are involved in the fight against the epidemic, and at least hundreds of various low-speed unmanned vehicles can be seen in Wuhan, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Qingdao, as well as in other cities in Hubei Province, participating in work related to the fight against the epidemic.
To a certain extent, it can be said that almost all low-speed unmanned vehicle companies have participated in this anti-epidemic operation, and while contributing to the fight against the epidemic, they have also demonstrated to the outside world and the public the development results and application scenarios of unmanned vehicle technology, which has played a good role in promoting the subsequent deployment of low-speed unmanned vehicles.
▲Put into the epidemic prevention and control work of the low-speed unmanned vehicles
I. Rising to the occasion? Traditional car companies to expedite the production of negative pressure ambulance
Negative pressure ambulance is also known as the "mobile N95 mask", and medical protective clothing, N95 masks, medical goggles, as is an important line of defense to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
▲Negative pressure ambulance belongs to the key medical emergency prevention and control materials
Compared with the ordinary ambulance, the negative pressure ambulance's most important feature is the word "negative pressure".
The negative-pressure device is equipped with a negative-pressure device, which allows the air to flow from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, so that the air can only flow from the outside of the car to the inside of the car, and the air inside of the car needs to go through a harmless treatment beforehand, so as to avoid the secondary infection.
At the same time, the isolated medical cabin inside the vehicle can form a fixed air flow field inside the cabin, which can help avoid cross-infection between doctors and patients and provide better protection for medical personnel.
