Speaking exercise

I am a little busy

last week I went on a business trip to SH.
This week I came back from the trip and I had something to handle.
I learned a lot, there was a colleague from Germany.
He is a professional auditor who got a certificate

I went to the factory with him, I supported him for the audit.
When there is a big project we go to the factory or the supplier for an audit but it is.

They check the project management, supply management, customer management, all the systems

when we drove on the road I saw someone playing on the phone and we were shocked and we guessed maybe it was a driverless car
We realized the car might have an autonomous driving function.

We have test programs for the drones.
We have a test service center in dongguan for drones to pick up a parcel from the huawei factory and bring it to our service center.

For drivers , if the tech is mature they can be replaced.
For some services for example after sales we still need people.
