通讯｜中国自动驾驶出租车“驶入”阿联酋_我的网站

一 | Europe’s leading hotelier Accor - a French international hospitality business with billions in revenue and more than 5,100 hotels - is now beginning “trials” to hire people with no experience in the hotel industry, the company’s chief executive Sebastien Bazin said, as it struggles to fill at least 35,000 vacancies.,“We tried in Lyon and Bordeaux 10 days ago and this weekend we're having people interviewed with no CV, no previous job experience and they are hired within 24 hours," Bazin said.,Since underpaid workers left the company, Accor is now filling those positions with those who are desperate for work such as students and/or expats.,Those who are practically hired on the spot by the multi-billion dollar company are trained in only six hours and are forced to learn on the job. The company will also limit their contact with customers as they struggle with staffing.,"It's students, people coming from North Africa," Bazin said, "and basically closing restaurants for lunch or [opening them] only five days a week. There's no other solution.",Some hoteliers will have to increase pay to find the help they need this tourist season. Spain’s tourism sector supported 13.5 percent of their workforce in 2018 - before the pandemic - and accounted for 11.8 percent of their gross domestic product in 2017. But Spain’s catering industry is at present short some 200,000 workers, and Portugal is fighting to increase staff at their hotels to keep pace with increasing demand.,"Many employees have decided to move to other sectors, so we are starting an industry from scratch and we have to fight for talent," said Gabriel Escarrer, chief executive of Spanish hotel group Melia which, along with other hospitality businesses, is reportedly offering higher wages than previously, health insurance, and free accommodation - though that last perk could be more a reflection of the shortage of housing near resorts.,However, hoteliers such as Hotel Mundial - located in Lisbon, Portugal - are facing the far from ideal decision of cutting services if they can’t find staff, and those who employ students will have to juggle rotas to accommodate their schedules.,“During the week we can't open because we have no hands - they are studying,” said Jose Carlos, who owns a bar in Madrid called Tabanco de Jerez.,Spain's hospitality industry is now paying 60 percent more than it did last year, on average, in an attempt to lure workers back to the force - however, those working in the tourism industry are still among the lowest-paid workers.,"Half of it is we've been blind, we've been not paying attention to a lot of people and probably underpaying some people for too long as well," said Bazin, who is worried his company won’t have enough staff when the summer rush, which is the height of the tourist season - arrives. "So it's a wake-up call.",One of the best documented reasons for people leaving their job during 'The Great Resignation' was because they were being paid too little. Another reason was the lack of professional advancement within the industry.,Other reasons people quit in 2021 included: feeling disrespected, lack of flexibility in scheduling, and a lack of benefits such as healthcare and paid holiday, according to a Pew Research Center survey. That same survey found that those who quit their job were able to find new places of employment that offered them better pay and more opportunities.。

二 | 　　迪拜8月10日电　通讯｜中国自动驾驶出租车“驶入”阿联酋　　记者夏晓　温新年　　8月的阿联酋迪拜，中午室外气温接近50摄氏度。

三 | 记者在迪拜的朱迈拉海滨打开“萝卜快跑”手机应用，不到两分钟，一辆黑色汽车缓缓停靠路边。没有驾驶员，也没有方向盘。

四 | 手机解锁车门，凉意扑面而来，车内宽敞整洁，语音提示“请系好安全带”后，车辆平稳起步。　　汽车沿着海滨路驰骋，车窗外，碧蓝的海湾与形如风帆的迪拜卓美亚帆船酒店相映成景。无论遇到环岛、信号灯还是车流，自动驾驶出租车都能精准地完成每一次转向和变道。若非驾驶位空无一人，很难让人意识到，这是一辆完全依靠人工智能自主行驶的汽车。　　如今，这样的场景正在迪拜街头越来越常见。　　从“萝卜快跑”到文远知行，再到小马智行，越来越多中国自动驾驶企业正“驶入”阿联酋。随着阿联酋加快建设智慧城市，自动驾驶成为中阿人工智能合作的新亮点。

五 | 迪拜提出，计划在2030年前将25%的交通工具转换为自动驾驶，这为中国企业提供了广阔的发展空间。

六 | 　　作为最早进入阿联酋市场的中国自动驾驶企业之一，百度旗下的“萝卜快跑”2025年与迪拜公路和运输管理局签署战略合作协议；今年年初获得全无人驾驶测试许可，成为迪拜首个且目前唯一获准开展全无人测试的平台，并从3月启动商业化运营。　　“萝卜快跑”阿联酋负责人陈强介绍，目前平台运营覆盖迪拜朱迈拉约25平方公里的区域，年底计划扩展至数百平方公里，运营车辆也将增至数百辆。商业化运营以来，不少当地乘客在平台留言评价“上车方便”“车辆行驶平稳”“乘坐体验舒适”“智能、安全”。　　陈强认为，阿联酋开放包容的监管环境，是中国自动驾驶企业在当地加速发展的重要原因。完善的道路基础设施、旺盛的出行需求以及新能源配套，也为商业化运营创造了有利条件。

七 | “如果能在迪拜跑通商业模式，就能为拓展整个中东市场提供样板。　　除了“萝卜快跑”，其他中国自动驾驶企业也在中东地区加快布局。　　文远知行目前已在中东部署超过200辆自动驾驶出租车，中东业务已实现经营盈利，并计划进一步覆盖迪拜、阿布扎比和沙特阿拉伯利雅得等城市。　　小马智行也计划于今年下半年在迪拜推出自动驾驶出租车商业化服务。该公司国际传播总监王露迪说，阿联酋消费者对智能汽车和国际品牌的接受度不断提升，政府的支持、完善的数字基础设施和丰富的应用场景，为中国自动驾驶技术落地提供了有利条件。　　迪拜公路和运输管理局局长、董事会主席马塔尔·塔耶尔表示，中国已成为全球交通基础设施、数字技术和人工智能发展的领先力量，迪拜愿意进一步深化与中国企业的长期合作，借鉴其先进技术和解决方案，推动迪拜未来交通项目实现更高水平的效率、质量和可持续发展。
