AI-powered bikes help optimize food delivery

Delivery vehicles equipped with artificial intelligence have been launched in Wuhan, Hubei province, to improve efficiency and safety in the city's on-demand delivery system.

China's vast delivery network includes more than 10 million riders, many of whom use electric motorcycles. Road accidents, traffic violations and restricted access to some residential areas have long posed challenges for these workers.

The first batch of 100 AI-powered vehicles was deployed in 32 residential communities in Wuhan's Hanyang district, according to Hu Xuedong, secretary-general of Wuhan's on-demand delivery association.
