In the great transformation of the automobile industry, intelligent shared travel plays an important role. The 3rd International Automobile Intelligent Shared Mobility Conference 2021 opened in Guangzhou on the 16th. Xu Yahua, chief engineer of the Ministry of Transport, said in a video speech that to promote the development of automatic driving, it should be a diversified technical route, not only to improve the restructuring ability and intelligence level of vehicles, to manufacture smart cars, but also to increase investment in road control and communication equipment, and to differentiate the technical performance and application functions such as automatic driving systems.
The conference was guided by the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government, co-sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers of China and the China Intelligent and Connected Automobile Industry Alliance, and co-hosted by the People's Government of Huadu District of Guangzhou and the International Academy of Automotive Engineering Science and Technology Innovation Strategy. The conference invited experts, scholars and senior executives from related fields such as automobiles, transportation, information and communication at home and abroad to discuss the smart travel strategies, paths and best practices of intelligent and connected vehicles.
Intelligent mobility projects are displayed outside the venue Courtesy of the conference Autonomous driving is not only a major innovation in vehicle technology, but also a profound change in traditional transportation modes and travel modes. Xu Yahua said that with the rapid introduction of artificial intelligence technology, in many scenarios, automatic driving technology has initially landed and has the conditions for promotion and application.
Xu Yahua said that facing the future, the coordinated development of the automobile and transportation industries is facing both opportunities and challenges in technology, standards and markets. In this regard, he suggested organizing pilot application pilots for autonomous driving, exploring the path of commercialization and large-scale application; establishing an industrial ecology, political system and social environment conducive to innovative development, encouraging cross-border collaboration between intelligent transportation and intelligent networked vehicles, artificial intelligence, the Internet and other fields; deepening the innovation of key common technologies and supporting the construction of new innovation platforms; strengthening global automatic driving and intelligent travel exchanges and cooperation, and building a high-level technical exchange and industrial cooperation platform.
Li Jun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, said that intelligent shared travel requires top-level design, and proposed the future travel upgrade and urban governance upgrade direction based on the deep integration of smart city, intelligent transportation and intelligent vehicle, providing guidance for the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry and independent innovation of science and technology.
The automobile industry is one of the ten strategic pillar industries in Guangdong Province. Vehicle production in Guangdong Province reached 2.58 million units from January to October this year, up 6.4% year-on-year and accounting for about 12.5% of the country's output in the same period. Chen Lei, deputy director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Guangdong Province, said that the existing automobile foundation supports the development of intelligent networked vehicles, and traditional car companies are laying out the development of intelligent networked vehicles, and some new car-making forces are now developing rapidly. At present, Guangdong Province has become an important intelligent networked vehicle production base and distribution center of parts in the country, covering automobile manufacturers, automatic driving technology companies, traditional parts suppliers, testing and inspection agencies and other relatively complete intelligent networked automobile industry chain, with a good momentum of development.
Chen Lei said that China's intelligent networked vehicles are moving from test verification to a new stage of multi-scenario demonstration and application, and Guangdong Province has seized this opportunity to promote road testing and multi-scenario demonstration applications. Cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen have opened Robotaxi and Robo-Bus services on a small scale in specific areas and specific test sections, which means that standardized autonomous vehicles such as autonomous vehicles, taxis, and autonomous buses have been put into demonstration applications. "The average daily number of online ride-hailing orders in our province is about 5 million, accounting for about 20% of the national shared travel market, and shared travel will continue to develop rapidly in the next few years, and the demonstration application of intelligent networked vehicles in this field will open up space for us to explore more intelligent and green travel modes." Chen Lei said.
In addition, the People's Government of Huadu District of Guangzhou City officially released the "Action Plan for the Hub-type Autonomous Driving Innovation Pilot Zone of Guangzhou Huadu Greater Bay Area" at the meeting on the same day, Guangzhou Huadu District relies on the basic conditions of the automobile industry, the unique location of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the advantages of air-rail dual hub transportation, combines the application of intelligent networked vehicle technology with the air-rail dual hub traffic scenario to create a hub-type automatic driving demonstration benchmark, and it is expected that in 2023, more than 150 kilometers of autonomous driving demonstration roads will be opened, and by 2025, The scope of autonomous driving demonstration covers the whole area of Huadu.
