In Shenzhen exploring the latest in robots, EVs, drones, and all things tech - Still early and requiring designated drop spots but you can get hotpot by drone delivery - Learned Huawei and Xiaomi both make electric vehicles, all AI agent enabled - Huawei is already on their trifold phone and folding touchscreen laptop - There’s multiple companies for self-driving taxis, the Waymo equivalent: we rode a Pony ai taxi. Our guide said they have distinct driving algorithms with Pony being more aggressive lol - Can pay with your hand and face out here, full biometric payments - Drones are being used to monitor traffic, saw it live - Got to try exoskeletons that make it easier to walk uphill. Strange and interesting The juxtaposition between the top of line technology in flagship stores to what you see in the street electronics market is jarring. There’s a huge range in quality, feel, and design. Would love to come back and see a trade show or manufacturer for more production grade and industrial robots. What we saw robot wise were toys, at best. There were over 30+ new skyscrapers getting built that we saw throughout the day. It’s clear that a government endorsement to build, experiment, and educate on technology in a city this large allows innovation to happen much more quickly
