It is understood that this cooperation Mushroom Car Link will work with Shanghai Jiading to jointly promote the global coverage and commercial operation of the vehicle-road-cloud integrated "synaesthesia computing" network. Just the day before, on October 10, China Mobile Beijing had reached a cooperation with Mushroom Car Alliance, and the two sides worked together to build a "synaesthesia" vehicle-road cloud network.
In July this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other five departments jointly released the list of pilot cities for the application of "vehicle-road-cloud integration" for intelligent networked vehicles, and identified 20 cities (consortiums) such as Beijing and Shanghai as the first batch of pilot cities for "vehicle-road-cloud integration", and the construction of vehicle-road-cloud integration has entered the stage of large-scale landing.
The following is an excerpt from the speech of Zhu Lei, founder and CEO of Mushroom Car Alliance:
The essence of the vehicle-road cloud is a "synaesthesia computing" network, providing system-level real-time digital twin services
The essence of the vehicle-road-cloud network is a 'synaesthesia computing' network, which is the real-time digitization of the physical world. When the vehicle-road-cloud network expands upward, it is a real-time, city-level digital twin system, providing system-level real-time digital twin services for vehicles (autonomous vehicles, non-autonomous vehicles) and various intelligent devices (robots, drones, etc.).
The world's top technology companies are all aiming at the field of real-time digital twins, such as Google's Street View roaming function, Meta's metaverse, NVIDIA's digital twin Earth, Apple's Vision Pro spatial computing device, and Tesla's Starlink, all of which are essentially doing real-time digitization of the physical world.
The vehicle-road cloud network is the prototype of the synaesthesia computing network, and two sets of synaesthesia computing network systems are being formed around the world, one in the air and one on the ground. In the air is the synaesthesia computing network built by Starlink and Qianfan as the core, and the other is the synaesthesia computing network on the ground, which we call the "vehicle-road cloud network" and the "safe road" network in United States.
After the completion of the synaesthesia computing network on the ground, it is essentially building a real-time digitization of the physical world, and quickly building a real-time digital twin system to provide real-time data services for a large number of ordinary passenger cars, intelligent connected vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and more public scenes and intelligent devices.
Bicycle intelligence and vehicle-road cloud network are a set of convergence solutions that solve different problems at different levels
Bicycle intelligence and vehicle-road cloud are a set of integration solutions, the bicycle solves the single-point problem, and the vehicle-road cloud network solves the problem at the system level, mainly security, efficiency, and game decision-making problems. At present, the vehicle-road-cloud network built in mainland China is actually a network that integrates single-point intelligence and system-level intelligence, or the technology of swarm intelligence fusion.
As the number of smart cars grows, there will be more and more system-level problems that need to be solved. From the perspective of security, single-vehicle intelligence solves the problem of single-point security, while vehicle-road cloud network solves the problem of group security. Efficiency is a system-level concept in itself, which is mainly solved at the system level through the vehicle-road-cloud network. For group games, the vehicle-road-cloud network will solve the game dilemma caused by the explosive growth of intelligent twins. Taking Jiading as an example, the number of smart cars is 500, 5,000, and 50,000 units at different scales, and the difficulty of game decision-making is completely different.
The vehicle-road-cloud network system of Mushroom Vehicle Link fully integrates the L4 technology of the bicycle and the system network technology, which can improve the group safety, group efficiency and group game ability at the system level.
Data quality is the core of the value generated by vehicle-road-cloud integration, and vehicle-road-cloud is the prototype of the "synaesthesia computing" network
In the actual implementation, there are two cores that can be "really used" by vehicle-road-cloud integration: first, the data quality of a single node (base station) needs to be high enough, and the core to ensure data quality is not only roadside equipment, but systems and algorithms; Second, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the real needs of car companies and truly connect with car companies.
Mushroom Auto Link has been deeply engaged in the vehicle-road-cloud integration system and algorithm for a long time, and has reached the highest standard of "double SL3" in the tripartite evaluation of many institutions. At the same time, Mushroom Car Link has been deeply connected with a number of leading car companies to realize real-time data empowerment of social vehicles by vehicle-road-cloud network.
At present, the vehicle-road-cloud network has entered a mature stage from technology to application, and there is huge room for development in the future. Today's vehicle-road cloud network is a starting point and prototype of the "synaesthesia computing" network, which serves smart cars at present, and a series of intelligent twins such as drones, flying cars, robots, and robot dogs in the future, and can also bring great value to the intelligent management of cities and transportation. ”
From the perspective of global competition, the construction of vehicle-road-cloud network will bring huge network value and data value to the country, and play an important role in the scientific and technological competition of major countries.
