On December 27, 2021, at baidu create 2021 (Baidu AI Developer Conference), Robin Li judged that intelligent transportation will be a major change that will affect the next 10-40 years, so that China's first-tier cities will no longer need to restrict purchases and traffic 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.
Robin Li's new book "Intelligent Transportation" was also published this year. The subtitle of the new book is "Major Changes Affecting Humanity in the Next 10-40 Years."
I don't see the explanation in the book, I pinched my finger, maybe Robin means: 10 years later it is carbon peak, 40 years later it is carbon neutral. So, 10-40 years is on the same page as the double carbon target.
The double carbon target, which I prefer to call the 30.60 target. It is about the two time points in 2030 and 2060, and the complete statement is: strive to peak carbon emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
Robin Li stressed that the inflection point of the era of intelligent transportation has arrived.
How many human drivers will be replaced by driverless cars in the future? How will transportation modes change? Can intelligent transportation completely solve the problem of traffic congestion? This intelligent transportation war has already begun, in order to keep up with the rhythm and not out, the Internet giants must be upgraded in a full range of technology, management, thinking and other aspects.
