The mobile Internet is gradually degenerating into saline-alkali land, and the future will belong to artificial intelligence.
From companies to cities, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Everything will inevitably change all aspects of life. The basis for people to be grouped has emerged. In the future, people will be divided according to their life trajectory, activity habits and lifestyles, and their living environment will also change around their living habits and personality characteristics.
This is a changing digital signal.
Kearney Management Consulting Company pointed out that if the intelligent networked car is connected with a huge business ecosystem, the car will further become a social network node, and the key point of separation is to bring people in the car into the ecology, thus C2X(Cabin? Where to? Everything), business value will no longer be equal.
Among them, smart cities move forward in twists and turns.
May 7, 2020 Sidewalk, a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google)? Labs announced that it would abandon the Sidewalk wireless city project in Toronto.
However, the CEO of Sidewalk? Daniel? L.Doctoroff said that although it was disappointing and sad to give up the Toronto project, in the epidemic situation, "the current severe public health emergencies have made us feel more strongly the importance of re-imagining the city for the future."
In the near future, 5G will vertically integrate various fields, such as VR, robotics, car networking, industrial interconnection, municipal Internet of Things, smart wear, smart home, smart exceeding the standard, intelligent building ... All kinds of plots in science fiction movies will soon become a reality.
Roland berger, a consulting firm, found that more and more cities are gradually establishing intelligent strategic planning (including comprehensive action plans and carefully designed implementation steps) on the basis of overall design. Especially since 20 12, the number of smart city strategies released every year has been greatly improved.
Roland berger divides the areas covered by smart cities into six parts, including government management, travel, energy and environment, medical and health care, education and architecture.

Among many smart city projects, the cooperation between Google and Toronto is remarkable.
20 17 10 the city government of Toronto, Canada officially announced that it would transfer 800 acres of land in the southeast of the city to Google and hand it over to Sidewalk? Laboratories build future cities.
According to Daniel? L.Doctoroff revealed that in the two and a half years after the project started, they founded many innovative companies to solve the problems of urban transportation, next-generation infrastructure and community medical care, and invested in start-ups in various fields, from smart home to digital power, and explored new ideas for building an all-electric community.
But unfortunately, on May 7th this year, Daniel published an article entitled "Why don't we follow up the Toronto project? –? What about the sidewalk? The next step in the lab (why? We are? No? Longer? Pursuit? That? Dockside? Project? -? And then what? What? Next? For what? Sidewalk? Labs) article, announcing the formal abandonment of the Toronto Future City project.
"After repeated evaluation, we have come to the conclusion that it is meaningless to continue the quayside project." Daniel said in the article.
Google has retreated, and car companies are accelerating their entry. Some of them have drawn the blue blueprint of the future city and will land soon.
2065438+In May 2009, Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and Yijia Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Audi AG (China), signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Hefei Municipal People's Government and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., Ltd. in Barcelona, Spain on the smart city project in Hefei, Anhui Province. On August 6th this year, the pilot project of Audi ag self-driving travel service was officially launched in Anhui.
"Digitalization, electrification and autonomous driving are the core directions of Audi's future development." ? Su Weiming, director of Audi ag (China) and executive vice president of Audi ag (China), said bluntly.
In his plan, Volkswagen will create an integrated travel service solution for users, namely the autonomous driving service ecosystem (AV? MaaS), including five levels of subdivision-autonomous driving system, electric vehicle platform, accurate algorithm to ensure efficient operation of the fleet, car networking function to connect passengers, and more ecosystem content services.
It is reported that in Haiheng Community of Hefei City, Volkswagen's ezia motorcade will travel in a real traffic environment with a total area of 16 square kilometers, including fully open roads with a total mileage of 80 kilometers, connecting schools, supermarkets, parks, hospitals, residential areas, industrial parks and other functional jurisdictions, and developing multi-dimensional comprehensive travel options for local residents.
The Volkswagen autopilot team opened the road section of Hefei 5G demonstration line.
Toyota is not behind. In 202 1 year, a future city will rise under Mount Fuji. This is called "weaving? The city is a "smart city". Toyota is centered on connected cars and self-driving pure electric vehicles (ev), and all products and services are linked together through the Internet. It was transformed from a Toyota factory, allowing people to live, work and study with social mobility.
On the other hand, smart community will be the most important landing link of smart city. It is reported that the smart community project involving Taibo Car Network took the lead in landing in Shanghai New World, Huaihai Road and other core business districts in June this year.
"The future of the car is by no means an imaginary scene, but will appear in the form of mobile space, mobile commerce, mobile tourism, mobile community employment, mobile electricity, mobile bazaar and mobile financial insurance." Ying Yilun, founder and chairman of Shanghai Taibo Internet of Vehicles, described the application of Internet of Vehicles in the future community. "While thinking about technical problems, we should also think about business models and solutions to social pain points."
Specifically, building urban mobile commercial space is a new business model of smart car+retail industry. It is a mobile space on wheels with smart cars as the carrier, the last mile service of community service and a new retail business platform based on smart cars.
Now, urban mobile commerce is also on the eve of landing. For the landing of mobile stores, Ying Yilun proposed that "we hope to demonstrate with a community street first, starting from the street community at the bottom, slowly implementing and gradually advancing."
"The city's intelligent strategy is often limited and lacks comprehensiveness. It only focuses on travel, energy and government management, while ignoring education, medical health and architecture." This is a problem discovered by many smart city researchers after in-depth research.
On the other hand, upgrading smart cities with actions as the entrance may be a safer solution. After all, transportation is an indispensable part of a smart city, even the nerves and blood vessels that connect all links.
Originally, the car was a car, and the road was a road. Now it is necessary to combine the two, and the cooperation between car and road has increasingly become one of the focuses of the industry.
Vehicle-road coordination refers to the comprehensive realization of dynamic real-time information interaction among vehicles, roads, clouds and people by using advanced wireless communication technology, and the comprehensive realization of effective coordination among people, vehicles and roads on the basis of full-time dynamic traffic information collection and integration.
"Now, the combination of people, vehicles and roads is the characteristic of China's autonomous driving and intelligent network connection." ? Li Deyi, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, thinks that the place where intelligent networking can make a difference should be in China first. In China, we can try various innovations in cars and roads, such as combining intelligent lampposts, intelligent street lamps and bicycles to "walk out of the road with China characteristics".
At present, one of the cooperative development of vehicles and roads in China is the application of vehicle-road infrastructure interconnection (V2I) and vehicle-human interconnection (V2P) based on C-V2X technology (vehicle networking communication based on cellular technology).
Taking the pilot project of Ford Motor Company in Wuxi as an example, C-V2X makes vehicles, signal lights, traffic signs and communication equipment for cyclists and pedestrians interconnected. A vehicle equipped with C-V2X is like a vehicle equipped with "clairvoyance" and "clairvoyance", which can enable the owner to accurately and timely obtain the road information ahead and enhance the perception of the vehicle in the blind area of sight, thus reducing the collision risk and improving the road congestion.
For example, at many traffic light intersections with no time display, the vehicle dashboard with C-V2X function will prompt the remaining time at the traffic light, and even provide the speed needed for smooth traffic.
Not only that, at many intersections, drivers also have blind spots when pedestrians cross the road. Through the vehicle-road coordination technology, vehicles and roadside equipment can enjoy the perception information, which can enable vehicles and drivers to find pedestrians with blind spots in time, thus reducing the risk of accidents.
Hou Xinhai, vice president of Ford Motor Company (China) and head of information technology and vehicle networking technology, told HD Automotive Business Weekly that before the end of this year, the vehicle-road coordination function based on C-V2X will be pre-commercialized, and the first vehicle equipped with V2I function will be mass-produced in 20021year.
The cooperative automatic driving of vehicles and roads has ushered in the sunrise and the sun is about to rise.
As early as 20 19, Ran Bin, director of the Autopilot Working Committee of China Highway Society and dean of the Southeast University-University of Wisconsin Intelligent Network Transportation Joint Research Institute, predicted that 2020 would be a year of explosive growth.
Perhaps due to the epidemic and many other influences, the upsurge of vehicle-road coordination has not yet completely erupted, but the policy is paving the way.
165438+1October 2, the general office of the State Council recently released the new energy automobile industry development plan (202 1-2035) (referred to as the plan), which is not only a strategic layout in the field of pure new energy, but also involves intelligent network connection, vehicle-road coordination and other fields.
As early as February 24th, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Central Network Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other 1 1 ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Intelligent Vehicle Innovation and Development Strategy" (hereinafter referred to as the "Strategy"), proposing that by 2025? In, the technical innovation, industrial ecology, infrastructure, legal standards, product supervision and network security systems of standard smart cars in China were basically formed, and the construction of intelligent transportation system and related facilities in smart cities made positive progress, which attracted much attention.
Two or three years before the release of this strategy, the Ministry of Transport has started to formulate policies frequently to accelerate the development of intelligent roads and intelligent transportation in China.
2065438+February 2008, the Ministry of Transport issued the Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Transport on Accelerating the Pilot Work of the New Generation National Traffic Control Network and Smart Expressway. Digital infrastructure and road traffic integration are the first two key directions.
From July, 2065438 to July, 2009, the Ministry of Communications issued the Outline of Digital Transportation Development Plan, pointing out that it is necessary to build a digital collection system, a networked transmission system and an intelligent application system with "data link" as the main line, so as to accelerate the development of transportation informatization to digitalization, networking and intelligence.
The word vehicle-road coordination will be a high-frequency hot word in the construction of smart roads for a long time to come, and the sun is rising.
The breakthrough of smart city lies in the coordination of smart transportation and roads, and many stakeholders participate in the intelligent transformation of urban roads, so many enterprises have turned their attention to smart highways.
Although the smart city project in Toronto was abandoned, in August this year, Sidewalk established a company called Cavnue, which plans to build a self-driving car lane between Detroit, Michigan and Ann Arbor. It is reported that companies such as Ford Motor Company are also founding members of the project.
Imaginary map of wisdom corridor
In this regard, China government and enterprises have already entered the game.
Government is inevitable, and it will play a leading role in the future. After all, highways have a natural monopoly. The existence on the road, including information infrastructure, underlying support, chips, component modules, complete machines, operating systems, and applications, as long as they are closely related to applications, highway departments have mastered them, and the more they rely on application ports.
Therefore, the government and its subordinate transportation groups are still the main investors and standard makers of smart highway construction.
Luo Ruifa, chairman of Shenzhen Jinyi Technology Co., Ltd., once told HD Auto Business Weekly, "Maybe he doesn't care about the bottom things, but the management department of transportation infrastructure and the competent department of transportation industry will play a greater role, even a leading role."
It must be said that the "wisdom" of the expressway at present serves the managers, that is, the transportation departments and management companies.
Because the expressway in the whole country is a network, there are thousands of managers operating the expressway, and it is necessary to use advanced technologies such as intelligent perception, intelligent control and intelligent early warning to obtain more, more accurate and timely data and information, so as to make management more efficient and intelligent.
In the short term, the function of intelligent highway is mainly to collect and broadcast information, which is convenient for traffic police departments to conduct traffic guidance, but the object can not be limited to intelligent networked cars. After all, the industry and vision are gradually moving forward.
According to the report of HD Auto Business Weekly, in many intelligent high-speed solutions, mobile phones can also receive information, so that non-intelligent networked cars can know information such as road conditions, charging pile usage and service area.
Of course, in the distant future, with the popularization of intelligent networked cars and the increase of self-driving cars, intelligent high-speed will be a scene with more economic value.
And all kinds of enterprises are the most innovative participants and explorers looking for future business models.
Ran Bin bluntly said that roads and cars are integrated, and the two biggest players on the whole are major car manufacturers, and the other is the road and traffic system. In addition, combined with various supporting systems such as communication system, a complete intelligent transportation system is formed.
Companies such as Ford and Geely, transportation companies such as Chinese Express and Tucson Future, Internet companies such as Alibaba and Baidu, and communication companies such as Huawei all want to participate.
On 20 18, the giants of China began to run into the arena.
Baidu announced the open source Apollo vehicle-road collaboration scheme at the end of that year, and Alibaba announced at the Yun Qi conference that it would use vehicle-road collaboration technology to build a brand-new "intelligent highway". As a communication company, Huawei publicly stated that six car companies at home and abroad are equipped with its LTE-V2X vehicle terminal. And car companies are not far behind. In the same year, Ford also announced the first cellular technology-based vehicle networking communication (C-V2X) test on the open road in Wuxi.
It is conceivable that intelligent transportation system providers will master the right to speak in the industry and formulate the activity framework of other enterprises. The giant will definitely want to be a cake cutter. With road construction controlled by the government and other owners, the company aims to support the ecology behind the expressway system.
In the field of V2X, which only supports vehicle-road coordination, there is a domestic market of 200 billion, and the ecology behind it will be a market magnified several times or even dozens of times, and the rule makers will distribute the biggest cake.
However, apart from the far-away dispute over dominance, it may be more urgent to build ecology and establish alliances first.
After all, a single enterprise cannot formulate a comprehensive strategic policy, and needs to propose personalized solutions for specific activity areas according to its existing product portfolio and capabilities, and provide solutions together with partners.
The future ecosystem of the automobile industry must be interconnected. Including toll collection, traffic control, public facilities, parking lots and other systems, all kinds of entities and virtual infrastructure operators will become business partners of traffic service providers.
Compared with other experts, Ali's advantage lies in the whole ecological field. Alibaba Cloud, AliOS, Dharma Institute, Gaode and Chihiro in Alibaba's ecology can all bring great help to the solution, and Alipay and Taobao can help open up life scenes.
Ali also launched the "2038" Alliance, with partners including Highway Institute of the Ministry of Communications, State Grid, China Unicom, FAW Group, SAIC Roewe, Intel, Ford Motor Company, Shenlong Automobile Company and Datang Telecom Group.
In the Michigan Smart Corridor project, Cavnue will cooperate with a number of automakers and autonomous driving technology companies, including Ford, BMW, Toyota, Waymo and Argo? AI, * * * With the establishment of general road standards for self-driving cars in the future.
The original cold road has become a place with great imagination because of the computing power of vehicle-road coordination, cloud computing and big data analysis. The digital upgrade of the whole traffic will produce greater economic value in the near future.
Based on the breakthrough of high-speed intelligence, relevant enterprises should re-examine their own strategies, not only to make full use of this market potential, but also to break the trap of thinking fragmentation, especially the initial goal: building an intelligent future city.
