When the epidemic at Wuhan's Vulcan Mountain Hospital was at its worst, there were 3 black-and-white cars shuttling back and forth in the hospital, different from the usual cars in that it didn't have a driver in the car for maneuvering, but could help the hospital staff to complete a series of tasks such as cleaning, disinfecting and collecting garbage inside and outside of the entire hospital. The three unmanned cleaning and disinfecting vehicles have a very cute name - snail white.
Since put into use for more than a month, many front-line medical staff have thumbs up to it,? This is a technological war "epidemic" the most hardcore power.
The huge role of unmanned cleaning and disinfecting car
Since the Vulcan Mountain Hospital was built, unmanned cleaning and disinfecting car snail Xiaobai immediately rushed to the front line of the battlefield of the anti-epidemic, in addition to hospitals, it has also completed the cleaning and disinfecting services in more than 200 scenes around the world. In this epidemic, many are couples and both of them have been fighting on the front line for more than a month. Earlier this year, when I watched the news, I found that sanitation workers were still working hard on the streets of Wuhan under the shadow of the epidemic. According to Zhang Dezhao, the heaviness and enormity of the epidemic prevention work was very disturbing to him, and the self-driving cars could just help him to complete the basic work such as cleaning and disinfection. Replacing human power with robotic power, he said, will not only reduce the risk of infection for staff on the front line, but also save a lot of masks, disinfectant water and other now-valuable epidemic prevention supplies.
Zhang Dezhao's dedication during the epidemic
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Dezhao urgently summoned his colleagues in Beijing and set up a working group to upgrade the original product to adapt to the needs related to epidemic prevention and control, and on the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, the hospital's leadership condoled the front-line on-duty medical and nursing staff of Hongjiang Hospital, which, he told the reporter, had been up to the beginning of April. He told the reporter that as of early April, a number of devices, including unmanned cleaning and disinfecting vehicles and unmanned diagnostic and treatment robots, under the banner of Smart Walker, have been on duty in 13 hospitals across the country in a timely manner to promote the healthy development of health undertakings in Hong Kong, greatly reducing the burden on front-line medical workers, reducing the risk of people being infected with the new coronavirus, and fully mobilizing healthcare workers and playing a positive role in taking the lead. As a practitioner of automotive technology, Zhang Dezhao and his colleagues in addition to fighting on the front line of the health care workers praise, cheer, but also with their own practical actions to participate in this special epidemic war, he said "to save lives and help the injured is as a health care worker's vocation, and to see the righteous and courageous is their own mission is incumbent upon them.
More driverless disinfectant cars put into use
In fact, in the front line of the epidemic, there are many more intelligent cars put into use. In the isolation point of the rehabilitation personnel in Jingkai Smart 2045?Innovation Valley, a Dongfeng Sharing-VAN driverless car of Dongfeng Automobile Group Co. added a 16L large-capacity fully automatic disinfection sprayer to realize the whole unmanned disinfection operation of the high-risk roads in the observation area, the intelligent car is put into use, on the one hand, avoiding manual contact also reduces the risk of infection; on the other hand, it improves the efficiency of disinfection, Yang Yanding, deputy director of the technology center of Dongfeng Company, said that the Sharing-VAN can load 4×16L spraying The Sharing-VAN can load 4×16L spraying buckets, and it can complete the disinfection spraying back and forth in the coverage of 1.1km line in the whole park in 15 minutes, which saves a lot of manpower and material resources.
In fact, in addition to the driverless disinfection vehicle, from the realization of zero-touch distribution of driverless delivery vehicles, to unmanned sweeping vehicles, and then into the spring plowing production of driverless tractors ...... in this fight against the epidemic, the automatic driving technology in the travel, medical care, logistics, sanitation and other scenarios have realized the Application, and also provides a safer and more efficient service. In the front-line areas of the war epidemic, driverless logistics vehicles have been widely used, thanks to the automatic driving technology, which can assist the traditional logistics industry to complete the last kilometer of the distribution problem.
Intelligent vehicles have been developed to a higher degree
Some professionals believe that, in the face of the sudden epidemic, intelligent vehicles, especially driverless technology, have been mined to a deeper level. Although most of the smart cars are currently only used in low-speed and limited scenarios, this has laid a good foundation for future applications in high-speed and complex scenarios. China's strong implementation of prevention and control in the course of this "epidemic", as well as the spirit of cohesion*** knowledge and unity of action, the use of cutting-edge technology to promote the innovation of prevention and control measures, all of which have left a very deep impression on the joint team, in the "China - WHO New Coronavirus Pneumonia Virus (NCPV)" released some time ago, and the "China - World Health Organization (WHO) New Coronavirus Pneumonia Virus (NCPV)", which is a new virus. World Health Organization new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) joint mission report released some time ago, this high evaluation of intelligent anti-epidemic Zhang Dezhao and his colleagues are very happy that people are gradually recognizing the value of autopilot, but also is cultivating the corresponding habits of use. Zhang Dezhao said, this moment of "no one", in order to help more people.
Experts predict the future development of smart cars
In the view of professionals, with the transformation of the automotive industry to the new four, with a history of nearly 100 years, the automotive industry from the concept of thinking to the business model are undergoing dramatic changes, and has a huge determination to transform the market capacity of China, is to lead the change of the curator of the origin of the change of one hand, China On the one hand, China is the first to change the road and take the lead in the electrification of automobile power technology, and has gained the first-mover effect; on the other hand, China's strong Internet, electronic information and artificial intelligence enterprises have entered the automobile industry in a big way, and some cities have already begun to lay out the 5G network, which all provide strong support for the subsequent development of intelligent cars and create a good foundation. In recent years, traditional automobile enterprises have been making continuous efforts in the field of intelligent network connection, and there are also a lot of new car-making forces participating in the competition of the intelligent automobile industry, and they all make use of the advantages of their respective enterprises to accelerate the penetration and layout of the intelligent automobile industry, among which, some traditional automobile enterprises have begun to transform into intelligent travel service providers, and continuously deepen the scientific and technological strategy. According to this strategy, until 2030, the new Red Flag automobile brand will build China's leading and world-class new energy technologies and products, as well as China's leading and world-class intelligent network all-scene platform architecture.
Intelligent cars will drive the development of new enterprises
In the view of Huang Shaotang, chief technology officer of Jiangling Motors, the development route of China's intelligent automobile industry is very clear, and the development goal is also encouraging China's development from a large automobile country to a strong automobile country, the development of intelligent cars is an inevitable road, and it is a good opportunity for China's automobile industry to overtake the car by a curved road and seize the advanced It is also a great opportunity for China's automobile industry to overtake and seize the high ground of advanced technology. I think the practice of enterprises and industry management strategic planning are mutually promoting and complementary. The launch of the new industrial guidance policy has created new opportunities for new companies like Azera Motors. In an interview, Qin Lihong, co-founder and president of Azera Motors, said in this regard that the Strategy is very pragmatic, and it also gives a piece of mind to the development of smart cars.
