Robin Li talks about intelligent transportation: first-tier cities will no longer limit purchases and traffic restrictions within 5 years, and congestion will be solved within 10 years

On December 27, the news, today, at Baidu Create 2021 (Baidu AI Developer Conference), Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Robin Li judged that intelligent transportation will be a major change affecting the next 10-40 years, so that China's first-tier cities will no longer need to limit purchases and restrictions within 5 years, and basically solve the congestion problem within 10 years.

He believes that intelligent transportation can solve three major problems: First, reduce road safety accidents by 90%. Second, the system solves the congestion problem. Third, autonomous driving and intelligent transportation can help reduce carbon emissions.

The data shows that 94% of traffic accidents are caused by human factors, and autonomous driving will eliminate human factors. As technology matures, autonomous driving will be safer than human drivers. At the same time, Baidu's intelligent road system is achieving unimpeded traffic through vehicle-road collaboration. Experimental data prove that when all intersections in a city are intelligent and city-level regional information control optimization, the traffic efficiency can be improved by 15%-30%.
