Operating a self-driving car requires a driver's license. The definition of self-driving is that the vehicle does not need a driver while in motion; self-driving cars do not require a driver. Here is some relevant knowledge about self-driving cars: 1. Purpose: Self-driving cars are a type of smart vehicle, also known as wheeled mobile robots, primarily relying on an onboard computer system-based intelligent driving system to achieve the goal of autonomous driving. 2. Safety: Safety is the main factor driving the demand for self-driving cars. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) can actually be considered a type of self-driving system. Although ABS requires driver operation, it can still serve as a representative of the self-driving system series because some functions of ABS previously required manual operation by the driver.

How is the climbing ability of electric vehicles?

Pure electric vehicles have relatively strong climbing ability. However, since pure electric vehicles do not have multi-gear transmissions, the difference between the maximum speed ratio and the base speed ratio is not significant. As a result, drivers won't feel strong traction when going uphill, and will notice a significant decrease in climbing speed. Here is some relevant information about electric vehicles: 1. Introduction: Electric vehicles (BEV) refer to vehicles that use on-board power sources as their driving force, with motors driving the wheels to move, meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely optimistic. 2. Main types: Types of electric vehicles: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV).

Can Glasses Left in a Car Cause Spontaneous Combustion?

Glasses left in a car may cause spontaneous combustion. The lenses of reading glasses and magnifying glasses are convex lenses, which can easily focus light. If light is focused for an extended period, the focal point temperature can become excessively high, accelerating the aging of the interior and, in severe cases, damaging plastic trim panels or even causing the vehicle to spontaneously combust. Therefore, avoid leaving similar lenses in the car on sunny days to prevent accidents. Below are items that should not be left in a car: Flammable and explosive items: Never store them in the trunk, such as lighters, fireworks, etc. If the car's temperature rises too high or comes into contact with an ignition source, the consequences can be severe. Being caught by traffic police may also result in fines and penalty points. Perfume: Perfume is chemically processed under specific conditions. In high temperatures, these chemicals can easily volatilize and may even harm the human body. Direct sunlight can also cause explosions. Reading glasses: Reading glasses are convex lenses that can focus light, leading to excessively high temperatures at the focal point over time, damaging plastic trim panels, or even causing the vehicle to spontaneously combust.

How Long Does an Electric Motorcycle Battery Last?

The battery lifespan is generally around 300 full charge-discharge cycles. Battery lifespan is typically calculated based on the number of complete charge-discharge cycles, with the 300-cycle benchmark determined when the battery capacity drops to 75% of its nominal capacity. This is because users usually don't recharge when the battery is at 75% capacity, but rather when it's no longer usable, by which point the capacity has already declined to about 40% of its nominal level, indicating over-discharge. Below are some battery maintenance tips: Avoid storing the battery in a depleted state: A depleted state occurs when the battery isn't recharged promptly after use. In this state, sulfation is likely to occur, where lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, blocking ion channels and leading to insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a depleted state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged monthly to extend its lifespan. Regular inspections are essential: If the electric motorcycle's range suddenly drops by several kilometers in a short period, it's likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues like broken cells, plate softening, or active material shedding, which can cause short circuits. In such cases, promptly visit a professional battery repair facility for inspection, repair, or battery pack reconfiguration. Avoid high-current discharge: When starting, carrying passengers, or climbing hills, it's best to use pedal assistance to minimize sudden high-current discharge, which can lead to lead sulfate crystallization and damage the physical properties of the battery plates.

How Many Chances Are There for a Makeup Exam in Driving School Subject 1?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that on the day of the Subject 1 makeup exam, candidates can take the test twice. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, the second attempt is free of charge. If the second attempt is still unsuccessful, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and the candidate can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 points, with 100 questions in total, consisting of single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and traffic rules; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a makeup exam on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule a Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one makeup exam allowed if the first attempt is unsuccessful. If you do not take the makeup exam or fail it, the exam is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be scheduled ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is unsuccessful, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."
