How far away is the intelligent transportation curtain open?
When it comes to intelligent transportation, many people's first reaction is that it is a concept, a fantasy of improving transportation in the future, and even do not understand what is the significance of developing it? According to the recently released list of peak commuting congestion in Chinese cities in 2021, we see that there are at least 30 cities with more than 2 million cars, so many cars on the road, which will inevitably affect the efficiency of transportation. To a large extent, the extension of the transportation turnover time may affect the country's economic development, to a small extent, during the traffic jam will emit more exhaust gas, and even delay the special vehicle fire rescue, in general, there is no harm and no benefit, so the realization of "transportation power" is our future goal.
In the case of the road unchanged and the number of cars increasing year by year, people are trying to solve the problem of traffic congestion with various methods, and Baidu has also given its own understanding and views. On February 24, Baidu founder Robin Li's "7 Lectures on Intelligent Transportation" course was launched. Among them, 7 lectures include hot topics such as automatic driving and vehicle-road collaboration, and he believes that automatic driving is only the starting point, and intelligent transportation, smart city, and intelligent society are the end points of future transportation. #李彦宏称自动驾驶终局是智能交通 #
In fact, many people do not know that Baidu Apollo's autonomous driving solution has been tested for more than 20 million kilometers, and its self-driving platform "Radish Run" has been tested in 7 cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. So in my opinion, intelligent transportation is not the future, but has truly appeared around us. Take Baoding Qiyi Road in Hebei Province, where it is normal for citizens to block 5 red lights on weekdays commuting to work, but after Baidu Apollo and Baoding traffic police joined hands to use the Baidu AI intelligent information control system, the media test reported that the car on this road can pass through 12 intersections at a time, and the traffic time is shortened by 20%.
Looking back now, the so-called intelligent transportation depends on the real-time dynamic interconnection of vehicles, roads, pedestrians and traffic environments, and it may be difficult to integrate these technologies, but we have practical cases, and Baidu is confident that artificial intelligence, cloud technology and 5G communication technology will be deeper integrated to explore the development mode of China's future transportation.
When the West has entered the automobile era, China has not yet been able to build cars; but in the era of intelligent transportation, if China can seize the opportunity, it may not become the leader of the new era.
