Thé last picture show how strong is the WiFi signal with those marvelous autonomous hotspot.
Arnaud's post is basically false as stated, paving is the topmost layer of a many-step process that I am sure involved lots of construction workers, think things like grading especially. They aren't automatically conjuring roads out of the ether like in Death Stranding. There is a lot of paving and repaving that happens though so neat technology.

I think there's also some lost in translation here - I think the 157 km is the whole highway, some portion of which was paved autonomously. That kind of thing has been done before in China, I found videos and stories from the past few years.
157 km is a lot also - too much asphalt for one hopper. I'd like to see the asphalt re-up system and how automated it is.
Don't get me wrong, autonomous construction like this is definitely cool, but like you said, this isn't a bunch of robots that you just point where you want a road.
Paving is hardly building an expressway.
But apart from that stupid conflation:
It seems smart to automate the paving, because most of the road is done, so the last part of the job becomes very regular and predictable. Pretty good use of drones if it works.
Is it just me, or does the fourth image look like a shitpost?
:RobotScrem:
Couldn’t these robots be better used replacing jobs in the arts?
China slapping the US
“THAT’S how do you AI!”
And I’m guessing it needs only a fraction of the computing power a treat printer needs.
Meanwhile, my regressive shithole Westoid country takes 6 months to multiple YEARS to pave less than 2 km of road with manual labor.
My heart goes out to any American who got, is pursuing, or wants to pursue a civil engineering degree.
Great discipline, but this country is allergic to infrastructure, let alone actually putting the skills of its young people to work.
Does China have a UBI?
No
Then won't this lead to a loss of jobs?
Lots of western leftists rail against automation because it gets rid of jobs (even if they're bullshit) that people need to live. Wouldn't that also apply here?
There are always more roads that need building. Paving this one autonomously could free up the workers to build a different road at the same time.
I don't know if they actually did, I'm just saying it's not necessarily a bad thing.
I get no images?
