\n\nA new autonomous car and a drone for food delivery were made public yesterday. The new concept car adopts L4 level autonomous driving technology and uses multi-sensor fusion schemes such as laser radar, ultrasonic wave and camera in order to autonomously drive at a low-speed on urban roads.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9753\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"Meituan$ Meituan autonomous car for food delivery.

The platform is currently at the experimental stage and will start operations next year.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9754\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"Meituan$ Meituan drone for food delivery.

These vehicles cover delivering scenarios such as inside of hotels, restaurants and hospitals.\n\n“For a long time in the future, food will be delivered by the combination of human labor and autonomous vehicles,” said Wang Huiwen, Meituan’s co-founder, at the press conference.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9755\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"Meituan$ Meituan autonomous car for food delivery.

He added that the current technology is unable to deal with a large number of orders, such as 21 million a day, on Meituan’s platforms.\n\nThe company is also working with restaurants and property developers to remove barriers for a wide-scale use of driverless food delivery.","publishedDate","2018-07-26T16:28:08.000Z","featured",false,"viewCount",0,"readingTime",2,"status","draft","language","en","originalWordPressId",9751,"featuredImage","featuredImageUrl","http://pandaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/meituandianping.jpg","categories",[40],{"_11":41,"_42":43,"_15":44,"_45":46,"_47":48},"g4fec3qxgdgpnifg4f4r7n0q","name","Industry","industry","color","#000000","description","","tags",[51,56,59,63,67,71],{"_11":52,"_42":53,"_15":54,"_45":55,"_47":48},"lkn9wgtry8frgk1r8rhlvkn1","Meituan","meituan","#6366f1",{"_11":57,"_42":58,"_15":58,"_45":55,"_47":48},"unaj2a4zay2rt2svmfi1og9k","drone",{"_11":60,"_42":61,"_15":62,"_45":55,"_47":48},"lzm9ktrrf0csyicpfcmxot9i","Food Delivery","food-delivery",{"_11":64,"_42":65,"_15":66,"_45":55,"_47":48},"jwivcxwvvmqstmsiu96eed9t","autonomous vehicles","autonomous-vehicles",{"_11":68,"_42":69,"_15":70,"_45":55,"_47":48},"blovytysrfpa8ztoo0kwkh35","Driverless Food Delivery Platform","driverless-food-delivery-platform",{"_11":72,"_42":73,"_15":74,"_45":55,"_47":48},"ru19u4z1t27uhyj6vigjfdsh","autonomous car","autonomous-car","createdAt","2025-06-24T22:34:24.487Z","updatedAt","2025-06-24T23:47:37.868Z","publishedAt","2025-06-24T23:47:37.912Z","locale","pagination",{"_84":85,"_86":87,"_88":85,"_89":85},"page",1,"pageSize",12,"pageCount","total","currentPage","tag","tagSlug","actionData","errors"]
