#FlyingCar#ChinaTechnology#China Flying Car technology in China is becoming a reality, and this time I got to experience it myself! After 16 years of living in China, I finally went beyond watching futuristic technology and got inside a YIVTOL passenger drone in Shenzhen. But the flying car wasn't the only thing that caught my attention.
From robot-made coffee and driverless robotaxis to drone deliveries and incredible AI-powered machines, Shenzhen showed me just how different everyday life in China can look today. And it certainly gives the China vs America technology debate a new perspective.
🇨🇳 Here's what you'll discover in this video:
☕ A robot barista preparing my coffee. 🏙️ The INNO100 innovation store and its incredible AI gadgets, along with Shenzhen Bay's futuristic skyline and the Winter Bamboo Shoot skyscraper. 🚕 A driverless robotaxi navigating real city traffic without a human driver. 🚁 Drone deliveries bringing lunch directly to office workers near ByteDance. 🚌 An all-electric bus depot showing another side of China's transportation technology. 🤖 Longgang's incredible robot shop, featuring robot dogs, robot bartenders, automated kitchens, medical robots, and even an Iron Man mask! ✈️ Finally, my experience with the YIVTOL passenger drone, an eVTOL aircraft that takes off and lands vertically while carrying a passenger. This time, I wasn't just watching someone else fly. I experienced it myself!
After 16 years in China, I've learned that the best way to understand a country's technology is to experience it firsthand. What I saw in Shenzhen raises some interesting questions about how China and America are approaching the future.

Sign the contract
and disclose that they're not responsible if there's a problem.
Thank you for watching.
I'll see you in the next one.
Shenzhen, China,
Whew!
tech capital of the world.
Today I'm going to take you
around and show you why
China is blowing away the U.S. And if you watched my last video,
link right up here,
I talked about flying taxis. Today we're going to do it.
Let's go.
So I'm being told there's a name for this building.
And if you can see, there's actually
somebody up there cleaning the windows.
Okay, over here is a little coffee stand.
I'm going to pop in here and get a coffee.
Let's see who's going to make it for me.
Okay, going
to get the day
started.
Got a coffee from a robot.
Let's keep it going.
Hi, now we are heading to the Inno100.
This is the latest AI shop.
So we will see lots of training products here.
And also they are launching new products regularly.
So just have a look.
You must go there if you come to Shenzhen.
Let's see what China has.
So this is kind of cool.
Look at this, 3D advertising.
And let me show you this monitor here.
This guy's moving his head and the monitor moves with him.
I like this. I want to get one of these.
This is smart cooking machines,
so we don't need to do the cooking anymore.
Lots of recipes we can choose, all Chinese dishes.
Oh, so many. Even can make them some? Unbelievable.
So this is called One AI Chef.
And let's show the price on this. It's not cheap. Basically 19,000 RMB.
UV printer.
Oh, you can make your own phone cases, t-shirts, bags.
This is the laser printer.
A little mini cutting board. I'd like to send this to somebody I know.
Just amazing in here, all of the China high-tech they have in here.
All of these companies and everything in here is made in China.
Check out this China technology here.
A little mini dishwasher.
Now, how much is this?
Okay, the price is reasonable.
$2,400.
Now, here's how high-tech things are getting.
Check this out.
So, how about this?
You got this giant pad.
Sitting next to you, and what I'm going to show you is this bed.
Now, let's get shocked by the price.
So it looks like the top
of the line is 37,000 RMB.
And what's nice about this bed, you can adjust it on either side.
You can have it the way you like it,
and you can have it the way your partner likes it.
Stay with me.
Because we're going to be flying up
in the sky here pretty soon in this video.
Come with me. I'm getting a little nervous
because apparently I'm going to be the only one going up.
And I was inside that store showing some of the gadgets
and it's just not about the technology
inside the store. It's what's happening outside.
Let me show you this because it is truly amazing.
As far as you can see in the distance, build,
build, build, high-tech skyscrapers going up
out in the distance.
Right here, a modern high-tech sports center where I'm basically
pointing at. And then here, you just have these beautiful,
modern, high-tech buildings
right here. And you got these guys up here cleaning them,
shining the windows.
And then these high-tech buildings just everywhere around here.
Let me just spin around a little bit.
Just all of this modern technology,
building after building after building after building.
So it's just not what's inside this store
with all of the AI high-tech gadgets.
These buildings are high-tech, big gadgets.
All right, let's keep it going.
What a beautiful day.
Stay with me.
I got a big surprise coming up.
Little technology outside here.
This might be the smallest outdoor cleaner I've seen.
Usually these robot cleaners are a lot bigger.
Oh, this one's called the Beetle.
So maybe that means it's small.
I usually say build, build, build,
but this is clean, clean, clean.
So what a beautiful day here.
If you get a chance, some of these areas that I'm popping around here,
you got to come check it out. It's just amazing.
You got to get to Shenzhen and explore
the infrastructure. Explore the technology.
Explore, explore. We're going to do some other
things in this video. Stay with me.
We're about to do something else that's a little high tech.
Right on time, right on cue.
Nobody in here, so here we go. Nobody behind the wheel.
This is what we're seeing on this
screen here, and we're pulling out.
Oh, that was a quick stop. This is about the fourth time I've
done this, and I still get a little extra adrenaline going.
The heart beats a little
quicker. I actually don't get worried about my driver here.
I get worried about the other cars.
Nobody behind the wheel. Just a beautiful day.
Purple flowers. We are heading.
To another store, high-tech, in a driverless taxi.
Okay, we're going left.
We've got a driverless taxi to the left.
See if it picks up the guy crossing in the crosswalk.
Yes, right there.
It did.
Should be a guy standing here with the door open.
There it is.
So whenever you see all of this green up, or sometimes it's blue,
they're building construction in there.
Something's going on.
Another skyscraper.
Drives like any other car.
Like there's a real...
Driver's sitting here, but there's nobody.
All right, it's going to let us out here.
Oh, I just saw something that I haven't seen before.
Just so you know, just in case there's an issue,
little fire extinguisher here.
I always like seeing these guys pull away.
There it goes.
Now, I will say when they drop you off,
sometimes you get dropped off and it's like,
okay, what now?
Well, you got to look for a spot.
This taxi's smart right here.
Dropped us off where there's
this little walkway to get to the sidewalk.
The GPS on these taxis, they nail the drop-off spots
and the pickup spots. It's truly amazing.
Okay, I am at Shenzhen Innovation Center,
and basically I'm not going in this building,
but that's ByteDance, huge corporation.
I'm going to show you something that hopefully
will blow your mind.
Now I know a lot of times I show these drone drop-off spots in parks.
I just want to show you that they're not only in parks.
They're also here in a business center.
What can you say about China? What can you say about Shenzhen?
And if you see that picture on the window,
that's a big hint on where I'm going. Straight ahead.
I have no clue about this place, but I'm gonna try to get in.
Well, unfortunately, it is closed,
but this is a robot shop.
Look at this.
Can you see that through the glass?
That's a big robo dog.
Wow.
I've never seen them that big
And just look at this building, why I'm here.
I know I'm here to see and talk about robots,
but look at this beautiful building.
ByteDance.
Oh, amazing skyscraper.
And it's connected.
It actually has two.
Connections to walkways.
I love getting to places where I've never been.
A lot of this video is centered
around high tech, but let me tell you what still
is working for the people and they continue to
invest. And you know what that is?
I'm going to show you right now. And that is the bus transport
system. It's still thriving in China.
By the way, electric powered here. So this is a bus depot.
And then here, look at this.
Just walking around, seeing some random things.
You got all these lockers. A lot of stuff here.
Again, look how safe this stuff is here. Look, if this was Los Angeles
or New York, this stuff would be gone in five seconds.
The thieves would just grab these boxes
and then just head right out the sidewalk onto the street.
And then they're gone.
But not here.
Nobody touches this stuff.
You don't need high tech.
You know what the high tech is?
It's the people.
The people are high tech.
And it's simple.
They know better.
If it's not yours, you don't touch it.
You don't take it.
So I'm in another part of Shenzhen.
And I'm going to walk you around
and show you some more amazing infrastructure, technology,
I'm seeing drones in the sky, beautiful buildings.
Look at this massive, massive skyscraper behind me.
You don't understand how big these buildings are
until you stand
beneath one of them.
Amazing.
So let me show you again, out in the distance again,
just building, build, build, build,
no matter where I go, any time of the day,
any week, any month.
Any year since I've been living here.
Just build, build, build.
Just amazing buildings everywhere.
Incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
Okay, earlier I tried to take you into a robot shop,
but it was closed.
Let's see if there's another one here we can get into.
Now this is what I call a robot.
You can just see this thing is massive.
Okay, I made it inside this little robot shop.
Let's check it out real quick.
Here we have some hands.
Saw some of these a couple of weeks ago.
So this is where I'm at.
So this place is the first world's robot store.
World's first robot 6S store.
Right here.
Laying down here.
I have no idea.
This guy was just playing the piano.
Open the mask.
Close the mask.
Now here's a body scan for your health.
Okay, it has my age. How does it know my age?
This is normal, normal, normal.
Everything's okay. You are very healthy.
So I just got a body scan, so my annual physical is complete.
We got a little pet here, huh?
Cleaning robot. Solar panel.
Cleaning robot.
Okay, now here we have robotic medical.
So this is all robotic wellness.
Oh, look at this guy. He will serve you up a beer. Bijou.
So a robot can give me a beer and the robot can play some music for me.
This is all I need at home and I could buy this thing.
These are for sale. So I can buy this whole thing for $400,000
and I could have a couple of taps,
a robot serving me beer. I can get this guy.
Here we have more medical robot type stuff.
Now is this part of it? I don't know.
I'm walking too far. So it looks like they've got this
Advancing Human-Robot Collaboration.
I guess you work with the construction workers here.
Look at this! China's amazing!
Okay, these guys
fight each other.
Look at this!
Looks like they got a robot kitchen here.
Smells like food in here.
It's not open right now, but serve you the food.
And then back here,
the dishes are made by these automatic machines.
This is all...
Robots in here. I'm going to go in here.
Nobody's stopping me, but this is all automated.
You place your order, it knows what to do, and it'll make it for you.
And then this guy here will bring it to you. All right.
Little robot kitchen. And then through this door, they have the show.
But I'm not going to go because they don't allow videotaping inside.
This is the real deal.
So behind this door, this guy's putting on a show. And her.
Here's the future of this company.
You're going to have these at home. This will be the kids dance
teacher. I hope you're still with me.
The ending of this video is going to be exciting. Okay I'm not
showing a lot of it but we're hopping in taxis just
to jump to a lot of different spots. Here we
go again. DiDi. Okay another stop.
I hope you're staying with me because I'm going up in the sky.
I am getting
close to what I wanted to do today
and that was go for a little fly in the sky.
My name is Chris. Hello.
Hello.
Okay, I'm hopping in this little cart here
and we are going to go somewhere to get in something
that's going to take us high into the sky.
This is AI Park. AI Park. Yeah. Look at this. A lot of
tents out here. What a beautiful day. Okay.
Okay, let me show you what I'm going to ride today.
Sitting right here. This is the future of transportation.
You can buy these. You can
even buy them in the U.S. Okay, so tell me, do I go up?
Do I ride this thing? What do you think?
Gotta go sign up here. Okay, let me go in here and sign the contract.
They're testing it. They're
getting it ready for me. I'm gonna go up in this, guys.
Okay, where do I sign my life away? Here?
Okay, need my ID?
So when you sign the contract.
and disclose that they're not responsible if there's a problem.
Okay, I wrote it. I'll sign it.
Insurance, okay. Agreed.
Health. We just did a health check. I'm perfect.
Okay. Sign it in the back, right?
GPS.
And then you mentioned this is titanium, carbon fiber.
Eight motors.
It can fly only with four motors.
Okay.
But it's got a total of eight.
Okay, two batteries and can go for 45 minutes.
Oh my god, I'm too old for this.
Okay, let's do it.
Maybe you can.
Yeah, I did.
And then climb is this?
Yeah, climb.
Yeah, I'm afraid I'll go too high.
I'm gonna fly this on my own.
Be careful of the blades.
Oh, thank you.
Okay, I'm ready for takeoff.
It
was
good.
I wasn't comfortable with the joystick.
I need, I need practice.
You gotta start somewhere.
I took a step.
It was truly exciting.
And I'm looking forward one day to driving around
or flying around in the sky.
What I was seeing when I was flying.
Your battery life, your distance, the weather.
Got the GPS information here.
Pretty much has it all.
I guess that's the temperature of the battery or the motor.
You got the bolts, how much power's left,
and the battery, how much power's left in this battery.
Of course, you got the time here.
Yeah, I've had enough.
Too much excitement.
Okay, so that might have been the craziest thing I ever tried.
But anyways, let me tell you about this thing.
People can buy this in America, in the United States.
Montana.
Montana.
Florida.
Florida.
California.
California.
And more than...
More than 15, more than 15 states.
So 15 states have regulated this,
given it the okay for people to fly it in their airspace.
Flying drone, passenger drone, flying car. What do you call this?
Evito. This is our name. Very famous in America.
Yeah, it is, but...
But what do you consider this?
Do you consider this called a passenger drone?
Brown, I don't know.
I don't know what to say.
Oh my god, I had to sign paperwork, a contract, I had to get insurance,
I had to sign some paper for insurance.
The drone moves a lot and it was really,
really strange. Let me show you the joystick real quick.
So again, here's the joystick.
So the blue button, you hold it down
for three seconds, this thing starts.
This lever right here, up is up, you go down,
it's down, and then moving this around is just
forward is forward, backwards is backwards,
and then this way is to the left, this way is to the right
And then you can even circle it
by just kind of moving it around like this.
So hey, what a day walking around Shenzhen
and seeing some of the technology
and the infrastructure. The skyscrapers are simply amazing.
And then being able to ride in this thing. What a ride, truly.
So hey, that's it for the video.
Thanks for watching. I truly appreciate it.
And do me a favor. Don't forget to like and subscribe.
I couldn't do it without you. I truly mean it.
So everybody, be good.
Be safe.
This is Chris signing off from China.
I'll see you in the next one.
Take care.
I'm a Cajun, I've been doing just fine.
God, I gotta be...
Because I want it all.
It started out.
