On December 14th, Han Feng, COO of Ruqi Travel, attended the WISE2021 King of the New Economy Summit and delivered a keynote speech on the innovative development of the mobility industry. "User demand is undergoing qualitative changes, coupled with national macro policies, the supply side of the travel industry must undergo structural reforms." Han Feng pointed out in his speech that the development logic of the second half of the industry has shifted to supply-side innovation with automatic driving as the mainstream, based on the iteration of software and hardware and the need for cost optimization, automatic driving must also be tried from the commercial end first.

As a commercial landing platform for autonomous driving of GAC Group, Ruqi Travel is promoting the commercialization of Robo-taxi with the strategic layout of "dual-axis drive". According to Han Feng, Ruqi Travel plans to build a Robotaxi fleet of more than 200 vehicles in 2022 and build a v2x fleet of more than 1,000 vehicles to continuously improve its own Robo-taxi operation system.
It is the mission and responsibility of the travel platform to help the iteration and pilot of autonomous driving technology
WISE2021 King of the New Economy Summit is an annual blockbuster IP created by 36Kr, a well-known domestic science and technology media, which was held in Shanghai on December 13-15. Under the theme of "Hardcore Era", the summit invited hardcore celebrities from the government, economics and industry to focus on how to continue to build innovation-driven hardcore competitiveness in various industries at a time of industrial technological change. As a representative of the travel industry, Han Feng, COO of Ruqi Travel, attended the summit and delivered a speech with the theme of "Travel Enters the "Dual Axis" Time".

"In the travel market, users' demand for supply is undergoing a process from quantitative to qualitative change." In his speech, Han Feng analyzed the development trend of the industry and said that the state is also adjusting the structure of transportation energy from the level of sustainable economic development, and the supply side of the travel industry must carry out structural reform.
Han Feng believes that starting from the supply side, automatic driving will be the best form that can meet consumers' pursuit of certainty, cost-effectiveness, safety and compliance in the future, "Based on the iteration of software and hardware and the need for cost optimization, automatic driving must also be tried from the commercial end first." "Therefore, promoting the scale and commercialization of autonomous driving has also become an inflection point that can be seen in the travel industry at present."
Han Feng depicts the four-layer structure of Robo-taxi's commercial landing, including the basic layer, carrier layer, travel layer on the supply side, and the user layer on the demand side. Among them, the basic layer creates the basic conditions and systematic guarantee for the commercialization of Robo-taxi, the carrier layer is responsible for the research and development and production of Robo-taxi mass production vehicles, and the travel layer ultimately provides services to users and forms a commercial closed loop.
"The mission and responsibility of the mobility platform is to help enterprises at the basic and carrier layers to iterate the technical level and implement the pilot project faster." Han Feng said that Robo-taxi in the travel platform first volume, help to quickly reduce supply chain costs, on the one hand, can ensure that the risk of new technologies, new products landing risks controllable, on the other hand can collect data and user feedback to feed back the technology upgrade iteration, "finally from the B end to the C end to form a 'data - product' closed loop, so as to promote the continuous upgrading of Robo-taxi bicycle technology, cost continued to reduce, and finally achieve mass production, large-scale commercial landing." ”
Innovative construction of industry "value flywheel" such as Qi travel anchoring industry VaaS platform
At present, Ruqi Travel is working in the two directions of "technology axis" with cutting-edge technologies such as automatic driving as the core and "ecological axis" with the construction of "travel-car service" ecological closed loop as the core, relying on the strategic layout of "dual axis drive" to help Robo-taxi commercialization, and innovatively building a three-level "value flywheel" in the travel industry.
"Ruqi Travel penetrates the supply and demand density of a single city one by one, and the current travel user penetration rate in the five core cities in the Greater Bay Area has exceeded 30%, which brings continuous optimization of costs and continuously enhances the core competitiveness of the platform, which is the first level of value flywheel." Han Feng said that the second-level value flywheel is mainly through the continuous improvement of the travel ecology such as customized online car-hailing, network patrol integration, and after-vehicle service market, to achieve a further reduction in platform costs, "Ruqi Travel's layout super service station in the after-car service market will soon be online, and the automatic maintenance service service of unmanned vehicles will be provided in the future." ”
The third level of value flywheel is that Ruqi Travel will realize the pilot of unmanned vehicle and manned vehicle hybrid through the hybrid dispatch mode, create a commercial model of autonomous driving technology, and promote the iteration of bicycle technology and systematic technology improvement through operational data and scenarios.
Ruqi Chuxing, together with Wenyuan Zhixing and Xiaoma Zhixing, exhibited the cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements of autonomous driving at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show
At present, Ruqi Travel has reached cooperation with a number of the world's leading autonomous driving companies to explore the application of autonomous driving technology on the travel platform. "In 2022, in addition to forming a Robot-taxi fleet with a scale of more than 200 vehicles, Ruqi Travel will also build a v2x fleet with a scale of more than 1,000 vehicles, with mature operational experience and massive data feeding, to promote the iteration of autonomous driving technology from L2+ to L4 technology." Han Feng stressed that Ruqi Chuxing will also rely on its rich experience in operation, service and compliance to provide system technology solutions for the commercial operation of Robo-taxi to government regulatory authorities.
For the positioning of Ruqi Travel in the process of autonomous driving commercialization, Han Feng said: "It is very clear that we do not do autonomous driving bicycle technology, but through the strategic layout of "dual axle drive", we help vehicle companies, autonomous driving companies and governments to promote the high-quality development of future travel services, from the C-end traffic entrance to the VaaS platform that links the entire industry. ”
