"Smart car" plus "smart road", what changes will happen to the travel scene in the future?
What kind of changes will Guangzhou lead in the field of smart transportation?
On December 21st, the World Economic Forum China Future Automobile and Transportation Conference, co-organized by the World Economic Forum and the Guangzhou Municipal Government, was held.
At the meeting, Guangzhou Huadu District announced the construction of a terminal logistics autonomous driving unmanned delivery demonstration zone. In addition, Guangzhou Automobile Group, Wenyuan Zhixing and Ruqi Travel reached a strategic cooperation, and autonomous driving taxis will be launched next year.
Outlook: "smart car" + "smart road"
"Through calculations, intelligent transportation based on vehicle-road coordination will be able to increase the traffic efficiency by 15%-30%. It is expected that within 5 years there will be no need for traffic restrictions and purchase restrictions, and congestion will be basically resolved within 10 years." At the meeting, Baidu Group senior vice president Li Zhenyu believes that the next 10 to 40 years will be a critical period for the development of intelligent transportation. The new round of technological and industrial revolutions will bring a once-in-a-century opportunity to the development of intelligent transportation in China, and innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence. Car traffic and cities are being reconstructed.
Li Zhenyu proposed that the future of transportation should have three major characteristics: it can greatly reduce the probability of traffic accidents, can effectively solve congestion, save energy, and achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
"At present, about 94% of traffic accidents are caused by human factors, including dangerous behaviors such as drunk driving. With the maturity of driverless technology, the implementation of vehicle-road coordination and the large-scale implementation of intelligent transportation systems, the probability of traffic accidents will be greatly reduced. "
The combination of "smart cars" and "smart roads", the vehicle-road synergy effectively accelerates the development of new industries.
"Cars are always on call when we go out, and smartly take us where we want to go. Driven by electrification and automated driving, the automotive industry will have a lot of opportunities." said Kai-Fu Li, Chairman and CEO of Innovation Works.
"Through digital means, traditional cars have evolved into smart cars, which are a brand-new mobile terminal." Zeng Qinghong, chairman of GAC Group, believes that digital technology has entered the car production workshop, bringing a new model of smart, efficient and green manufacturing.
Progress: Huadu explores terminal logistics unmanned distribution
Data show that in 2020, Guangzhou's automobile production will reach 2.9521 million vehicles, ranking first in the country, including 79,800 new energy vehicles.
Starting in 2019, Guangzhou has been the first to be approved for autonomous driving open road testing in the country.
At present, Guangzhou has established an automotive innovation industry system with complete vehicle manufacturing as the core, a cluster of parts and components companies, and a cluster of intelligent innovative companies. The intelligent networked automotive industry ecology is leading the country.
In order to further form the industry-leading Guangzhou experience, all parties are speeding up exploration.
At the meeting, Guangzhou Automobile Group, Wenyuan Zhixing, and Ruqi Travel announced that they have reached a strategic cooperation. They will carry out in-depth cooperation based on their respective advantages to jointly promote the design, research and development, mass production and commercial operation of Robotaxi (self-driving taxi) pre-installed models.
The tripartite plans to gradually establish a Robotaxi fleet in the next few years and realize commercial operation, with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as the core to radiate to the whole country, and launch safe, economical and green autonomous driving services for the public.
Among them, Robotaxi is planned to be launched on Ruqi travel platform in 2022 to provide users with autonomous driving travel services.
Huadu District announced the construction of a terminal logistics autonomous driving unmanned distribution demonstration zone, exploring the pilot business of express delivery, supermarket fresh food, catering and retail in some campuses, parks, scenic spots, communities, and business districts in Huadu District. Demonstration of distribution applications, actively promote the construction of an intelligent system for urban logistics terminal distribution, and create a new ecology of autonomous driving services.
According to the "Action Plan for the Hub-based Autonomous Driving Innovation Pilot Zone in the Greater Bay Area, Huadu District, Guangzhou", the intelligent networked closed test field covering an area of 2,300 acres has been planned and construction has begun, and it is expected that a demonstration of air-rail integrated development will be completed within 3 years. The district is the core of the open intelligent networked demonstration zone, basically building an intelligent networked automobile industry ecosystem.
Recommendation: Clarify the responsibility for intelligent driving accidents as soon as possible
In the field of vehicle-road coordination, how to build new infrastructure?
how to use?
Who operates it?
In these aspects, the Guangzhou experience leading the industry has been formed.
"The core is to support multiple innovative applications through a unified infrastructure." Li Zhenyu introduced that the Guangzhou Huangpu Internet of Vehicles platform accesses various vehicle data, and realizes the linkage supervision of vehicles and pedestrians through the Internet of Vehicles command center, covering 20 types of management scenarios have greatly improved the level of refined management of road transportation.
The safety of intelligent driving has always been the focus of its implementation and promotion.
Zeng Qinghong suggested that the implementation of relevant safety regulations and standards should be accelerated, and the relevant rules for the identification and attribution of intelligent driving accidents should be clarified as soon as possible.
Second, guide third-party insurance companies to design related products to provide protection for smart driving functions and reduce the risk of smart driving applications.
Intelligent driving has also spawned a broader demand for data services.
In terms of data ecology, he suggested that all parties work together to build a digital automotive industry chain, and share and circulate data under conditions that comply with national regulations.
Li Bin, deputy dean and chief engineer of the Institute of Highway Science of the Ministry of Transport, revealed that in the next step, the Ministry of Transport will explore the work mode that suits the needs, continue to improve the standard system, and strive to guide enterprises to use their own new energy vehicle operation monitoring platform , Explore and promote the establishment of a new energy vehicle operation monitoring system in the transportation industry.
