After visiting Guangzhou, I decided to travel to Shenzhen, one of China’s most modern and developed cities. Here, you can order food via drones in designated areas — and of course, I had to try it.
But that’s not all. I also visited one of the drone loading zones, where the drones are prepared and dispatched to deliver food and drinks. To get there, I took one of Shenzhen’s robot taxis — self-driving, autonomous electric cars that operate in the city’s Nanshan district. While common taxi apps like Didi are still much more practical, this was definitely a really cool experience.
I hope you enjoy this vlog.
