A temporary license and a self-driving taxi
PPPeter’s trip through Chongqing starts with a difficult taxi ride. He then goes through the process of obtaining a temporary driver’s license in China, which includes paperwork and photos and may involve choosing a Chinese name. Before driving, he watches an instructional video about traffic rules. The process gives him a personal look at the administrative steps involved in getting behind the wheel.
He also tries a self-driving taxi in Chongqing. The service is available only in some areas, so checking its operating zone matters before planning a ride. PPPeter describes the experience of traveling through the city in a driverless vehicle and the need to stay patient and alert on Chongqing’s roads.
Hot pot and local food
Food becomes the other major challenge of the outing. PPPeter tries Chongqing hot pot, known for its intense spice, and reacts to the heat as he eats.
