Robot driving coaches (教练) “nicer” than real ones

       Students at a driving school in Zhenjiang, East China’s Jiangsu Province say robotic coaches have removed some of the stress when practicing.
       The robotic coach which provides automatic voice navigation (自动语音导航), gives learners gentle voice orders.
       “I’m nervous when a real coach sits beside me. This robot is nicer. Even if I do something wrong, the robot will continue to encourage me, instead of blaming me.” a student of the driving school told China Daily. The robot can be set to a teaching mode or stimulated test mode. It will tell drivers if they’ve passed the test. “The robot will remind learners to turn on their left turn signal as the car approaches a left turn. If it is about 20 centimeters away from an obstacle, the car will automatically stop.” said a coach at the driving school.
       The school doesn’t plan to cut the number of human coaches.
       Some netizens wondered if a robot coach could be as good as a real one. “No robot coach would help me step on the brakes (刹车) if I were accidentally to drive into a ditch.” One netizen said.
