Published on May 13, 2013 by Tycho de Feyter
Tollways are expensive in China, with drivers having to pay up to 100 yuan per 500 kilometer, which is enough to destroy margins for many a small transport company.

Interesting news here. In a general article on scientific cooperation between companies and the Chinese army sat one paragraph that attracted our attention immediately:
[quote] With the cooperation of China’s First Auto Works, a civilian automobile manufacturer, the NUDT research team believes commercial driverless cars will soon be seen on the roads in China. [unquote]
FAW is First Auto Works, parent of Hongqi and joint venture partner of Volkswagen, Toyota, Mazda and GM. NUDT is the National University of Defense Technology, involved in developing everything from handguns to nuclear submarines. An interesting pair indeed to develop such a vehicle. The article doesn’t say anything else about the project but we will try to keep a close eye on developments. The rest of the story is quite interesting as well, see below:

Published on September 16, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
This is the bad-ass armored version of the Beijing BJ2022, seen on a police equipment exhibition in Beijing. The base BJ2022, which was developed with a lot of American help, is only slightly armored or not at all. Its role in the Chinese army is mostly scout or communications, duties for which speed matters more than protection.
