The "new four modernizations" of automobile is a comprehensive "movement". From the point of view of electrification, due to the advantages of policies and scenarios, public transport is far more powerful than private cars in promotion. No matter in big or small cities, the visibility of pure electric buses and taxis on the road is getting higher and higher, and the experience is getting better and better - for example, in Beijing, when you take an electric bus or it passes behind you, there is no discomfort caused by the roar of giant things. In terms of intellectualization, public transport is also trying and laying out. Interestingly, although it's two different concepts, electrification and intelligence are always involuntarily linked. With the continuous integration and development of technology, the automobile industry began to mention more and more concepts such as "travel" and "ecology", which changed from vehicle based to travel scene based. In order to improve energy efficiency and environmental friendliness, electrification is to improve travel efficiency. In our life, we have been able to experience more or less the intelligent process of public transport. In terms of vehicles, the bus with fixed route and mode, vehicle road coordination and other technologies are easier to land than private cars. This can not only save labor costs, but also improve operation efficiency and security through collaboration among fleets, vehicles and other infrastructure (such as signal lights), cloud big data analysis. For example, the shield + developed by Mobileye for public transport and motorcade has the functions of blind area detection, driver behavior analysis, collision prevention and early warning, hot spot map drawing of smart city, etc. Of course, compared with ports, logistics parks, rail transit and other relatively closed environment, buses are still facing a lot of tests. Driving on public roads requires high safety and is closely related to the infrastructure construction of the city. In the payment scenario, the public transport and subway in many places can now complete the payment through QR code or mobile NFC function, and queuing for tickets or bus cards may become history in the future. From the perspective of travelers, more and more intelligent travel software can help us plan the optimal public transport travel mode, such as the AI intelligent public transport navigation launched by Gaud. Different from the previous navigation software, this product is built on the basis of big data samples and machine learning ability of Gaud map, which can provide personalized services for thousands of people and thousands of aspects, and realize the functions of bus route query, site guidance, arrival reminder, travel solution suggestions, etc. In recent years, the AI intelligent face recognition system for urban traffic management (typical application is to automatically identify pedestrians running red lights, e-bikes, etc. in crosswalks), although it occasionally makes some jokes. But it also plays a significant role in regulating the behavior of pedestrians and vehicles. Of course, intelligence is based on a series of technological breakthroughs. When these technologies meet with travel and public transport, they have a wonderful reaction. The popularity of 5g makes the Internet of vehicles possible. In the public transportation system, vehicles in the fleet can realize instant information exchange and improve the overall operation efficiency. With the continuous improvement of various infrastructure, the vehicle can also exchange data with all relevant facilities in the travel system to achieve real vehicle road coordination. More and more advanced sensors, chips and software systems make vehicles smarter. It may not be long before automatic driving can cover most driving scenarios. Just like some subway lines today, buses only need to be equipped with a safety monitoring personnel to cooperate with the cloud system to manage vehicles, rather than drivers. With the continuous increase of computing power and algorithm, and the accumulation of data, the advantage of "artificial intelligence" is becoming more and more obvious. Even in the field of public transport, passengers can enjoy instant personalized services. In addition to the smart travel system, public transport will also be associated with more "smart city" related content, making each scene more continuous and efficient. The unique properties of private cars determine that they will not disappear in a short time, but it is undeniable that with the improvement of the intelligent level of public transport, its inconveniences and disadvantages in some aspects no longer exist (even beyond private cars) - let alone the high cost of private cars, the increasingly congested urban environment and strict policy restrictions. This means that with the intelligent trend, public transport will be able to replace private cars in more and more scenes. However, the R & D and investment of domestic and foreign Internet car Hailing companies in the aspect of sharing vehicles has further weakened the necessity of private cars. It has also been argued that L4 and L5 level automatic driving will be the first to appear in shared vehicles, taxis and other operating vehicles, and compared with private cars, automatic driving technology is more suitable for operating vehicles. So many people ask the question: when shared vehicles and public transport can cover more than 90% of your travel needs, is there any need for private cars? In this process, intelligent work is indispensable. In the future, the public transport system will contain more contents, and its extension and connotation will continue to expand with technological innovation and model innovation.
