What are the benefits of Didi s launch of autonomous driving services for the automotive industry?

There is no benefit at all, it is useless, the black-hearted platform, the black-car platform can't grow.

Fewer drivers are recruited, saving money and more safety, with no more incidents such as harassment of passengers.

Breaking through the traditional driving mode, the unmanned Didi will not be infringed on for passengers, and it is safer.

Unless all cars on the street are self-driving, there are special roads where there are no pedestrians and bicycles running around. Otherwise, autopilot can drive computers crazy.

The prospect of autonomous driving is very good, because it can save a lot of steps to learn a driver's license and the like, which is a problem at present, and if there is autonomous driving, there will be fewer problems, which is good for society and so on.

I don't think it's going to be good. Because I don't think autonomous driving is very safe. A lot of people like to drive themselves.

Yes, because autonomous driving is the direction of future driving, and at the same time it is very future.

As of June 29, 2020Didi autonomous driving is now available in Shanghai. In May this year, Didi Autonomous Driving completed the first round of financing of more than 500 million US dollars to increase investment in R&D and testing, deepen industrial cooperation, and promote the application of autonomous driving and manned vehicles in specific regions at home and abroad. The round of investment was led by SoftBank Vision** Phase 2.

This is the first external financing of Didi Autonomous Driving Company after its establishment, and it is also the largest single financing obtained by a domestic autonomous driving company. Up to now, Didi has obtained road test qualifications in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, California and other places, and obtained the first batch of manned demonstration application licenses issued by Shanghai in September last year.

A mobility service company, relying on its own data accumulation, set up a research institute in the United States, hoping to make some gains in the field of autonomous driving and AI safety, such a development is natural, and a company dedicated to providing education for everyone, Udacity also attaches great importance to autonomous driving education because of the popularity of autonomous driving and the research background of the founder.

However, these two seemingly unrelated companies in business are in agreement because of their research on autonomous driving, relying on the advantages of both parties to launch the Didi-Udacity Autonomous Driving Challenge in Silicon Valley, inviting global algorithm experts to challenge important problems in the field of intelligent travel safety.

What do you think of the new business of autonomous driving?

Through the algorithm competition, Didi was able to recruit high-quality talents for new autonomous driving algorithms.

Udacity wants to raise people's interest in autonomous driving and educate people, but that's all? Actually, it's not, Zhang Wensong, senior vice president of Didi Chuxing, and Udacity

CEO Sebastian Thrun, a professor at Stanford, founder of Google X Labs, and former head of R&D for self-driving cars and Google Glass

Let's talk about it, what are they doing about autonomous driving?

Many people may have the same question before, because it has not yet started to operate driverless cars, and the large amount of data obtained by Didi is more information such as the scheduling of existing vehicles, and what role do these have for autonomous driving and intelligent transportation?

Traffic jams are actually a sign that we are not making good use of the roads Sebastian believes that one of the reasons why Didi can improve the efficiency of urban travel is that Didi uses open-source data in an algorithm competition to ** the question - can we make travel more efficient?

Sebastian believes that through public-enterprise cooperation, we can bridge and activate public transportation data and shared travel data, and such cooperation can benefit the public as a whole. As an open source beneficiary, Zhang Wensong is also very supportive of open source on behalf of the open thinking of the Internet, and it is hard to imagine what the world would be like without open source. 」

While it's still early days, open source data means that the lessons we learn from the mistakes made by one car can be applied to all vehicles. In the process, it is expected that every 18 months, the innovation of autonomous driving technology will improve the quality of driving tenfold. So it's a tipping point, and the future of autonomous vehicles is going to be safer than human driving.

Sebastian said firmly.

Didn't you figure out the rules of Didi before driving Didi, you can let passengers cancel after receiving the order, or you can call Didi customer service to cancel, what do you have to do No matter what you do, let's not talk about the rules and responsibilities first, you have to look at the following Didi's regulations

Didi can take the money to do other things, to put it bluntly, this is a bit similar to the function of Alipay, which is an application of the Internet to serve traditional industries, which facilitates the life of the boss's surname.

Before, it was a test of the waters, but now it is a real gun.

If you don't make software, do you want to do hardware?

He is a platform company, and he has no hardware foundation at all.

Hello, this fee is settled by vouchers and cash, if the voucher is not enough to pay the fare, you need to pay the excess yourself. In addition, the driver will get more from Didi than the actual fare, but this money can only be withdrawn after a week.

Because first take the software simulation to enhance the theory.

Because it has to do with its own characteristics.

Because the technology is not in place yet, it can't be done.

Didi made its fortune on software.

Because Didi Dache's family history is to make software.

Zhang Ailing's early works on marriage and family were also clearly influenced by "Strange Tales". In her essay "The Dream of Genius", she says: "To this day, I still love 'Strange Tales' and the cheesy Parisian fashion report, for this attractive word."

8] Mo Yan once said that his literary creation was greatly influenced by "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", "In the book "Red Sorghum" I wrote, the image of 'my grandmother' was actually inspired by reading "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai". In fact, not only Mo Yan, but many literary masters have been more or less influenced by "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

In recent years, Didi has been focusing on research in the field of autonomous driving. In 2018, Didi carried out an extensive layout for autonomous driving business, and successively obtained the test license for autonomous vehicles in California and the road test license for autonomous driving technology in Beijing. In November 2018, Didi officially established Didi Lab in Toronto, Canada, to research the fields of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence.

At the beginning of 2019, Didi's wholly-owned subsidiary, Didi Woya, with autonomous driving business as the main body, was established.

Didi's move has been seen by the outside world as preparing for listing, which also shows that as a ride-hailing platform, Didi attaches great importance to its autonomous driving business.

Nowadays, it seems that it has become an industry consensus to go public by divesting its own autonomous driving business.

As a promising field, autonomous driving is still in the stage of large-scale R&D experiments and is still far from large-scale application. It is inevitable that at present, many enterprises must invest a lot of financial, human and material resources with "real money". At present, many companies that are researching autonomous driving have also proved this truth with facts.

Taking Didi's old rival Uber as an example, since 2015, when it laid out the field of autonomous driving, industry insiders estimate that Uber may have spent more than $900 million on autonomous driving business. Based on this, Uber divested its autonomous driving business before going public, and received $1 billion in investment from SoftBank, Toyota and other companies, and the new company was valued at $100 million after investment. In May 2019, Uber officially went public, and as of that day**, it had a market capitalization of 100 million US dollars, and the current market value of Uber has reached 100 million US dollars.

According to Uber's prospectus published in April 2019, its shareholder Didi was valued at $51.6 billion at the end of 2018. According to public information, in April 2017, SoftBank led Didi's investment of $5.5 billion, and Didi was valued at more than $50 billion at that time. At the end of that year, Didi refinanced $4 billion, with a valuation of $56 billion, and the valuation fell instead of rising.

Even if Didi wants to divest its autonomous driving business, it is not surprising. By spinning off the autonomous driving business, reducing losses and obtaining financing to support the independent development of the business can raise the company's overall valuation. After all, Uber and Lyft in the United States have already taken the lead, and Didi can no longer "sit idly by".

If Didi really intends to prepare for the listing, it seems that it will not be able to get out of the current predicament. Internally, in the recent spot check by the Shanghai Traffic Management Bureau, the non-compliance rate of vehicles and drivers on the Didi platform exceeded 70%, which requires large-scale rectification; At the same time, Didi's hitchhiking business has not been launched, and security issues have always been a problem for Didi. Judging from its current operating conditions, its loss in 2018 will even reach 10.9 billion yuan, and its profit is far away.

According to Didi, the newly established autonomous driving company will integrate Didi's platform resources and original technical advantages, increase investment in core technology research and development, expand cooperation with the upstream and downstream industry chain of automobiles, and promote the implementation of autonomous driving with ** and all walks of life**. It is reported that Didi has set up an autonomous driving technology research and development team since 2016, and has built a number of teams such as high-precision maps, perception, data labeling, problem diagnosis, vehicle modification, cloud control and Internet of Vehicles, vehicle-road collaboration, and information security.

When Didi announced the separation of the business, it mentioned that the new company will further expand cooperation with the upstream and downstream industry chain of automobiles. This also means that car companies that have been in contact with Didi in the past may cooperate more with Didi in the field of autonomous driving. It is understood that as early as April last year, Didi and 31 companies from different fields such as automobile manufacturing, spare parts manufacturing, digital maps, and Internet of Vehicles initiated the establishment of the "Torrent Alliance" to jointly promote the development of new energy, intelligent and shared industries.

In addition, the company recently reached a cooperation agreement with Toyota Motor Corporation in the field of smart mobility, and received a $600 million investment from the latter.

I think it helps, but it doesn't help much.

Such help is substantively significant.

There will be a push, and there will be no security issues like before.

In fact, not only Uber and Didi, but also companies such as Google have also adopted the method of splitting and establishing independent subsidiaries when laying out autonomous driving projects. According to public reports, Google's parent company Alphabet announced at the end of 2016 that it would spin off the driverless project from Google's Google X Labs to form a new company, Waymo. It is reported that the report released by Morgan Stanley at that time predicted that Alphabet would spin off Waymo, which would be valued at least 70 billion US dollars (about 480 billion yuan), surpassing traditional car companies and Tesla.

In this way, it is not unusual for Didi to split its autonomous driving business.

It will be of great help.

This is quite controversial, and autonomous driving is immature.

How much of a promotion will depend on the development of the future.

It is worth believing that no matter how much computers fight against each other, there is a high probability of bugs in the unpredictable life.

No matter how much computers fight against each other, there is a high probability of bugs in the unpredictable life.

After all, the current artificial intelligence products are still based on statistics, and statistics are such a thing, there is no absolute 100%, not to mention that statistics refers to existing things, as long as they have never appeared, even if the computers fight each other, there will be a high probability of bugs in the unpredictable life.

There is still a "gap" between the demonstration application and the real commercial operation, whether it is the accuracy of intelligent network technology in large-scale application or the operation of smart infrastructure, which is the focus of current discussion in the industry.

Whether it is the accuracy of intelligent network technology in large-scale application or the operation and attribution of smart infrastructure

I think it's credible, but it's not entirely reliable, and it's still about safety.

And statistics this kind of thing, there is no absolute 100%, not to mention that statistics refers to existing things, as long as it has never appeared, even if the computers are against each other, there will be a higher probability of bugs in the unpredictable life.

Statistics are such a thing, there is no absolute 100%, not to mention that statistics means that existing things will also have a high probability of bugs in the unpredictable life.

Didi autonomous driving operates independently, which has an important impact on people's lives, and Didi autonomous driving operates independentlyIn fact, the autonomous driving department was separated from the original Didi Chuxing company and a new company was established.

Due to the frequent accidents of Didi Chuxing in recent years, many people say that they no longer believe in Didi ChuxingThis also casts a big shadow on the company Didi Chuxing. Because every accident that occurs on Didi Chuxing is related to human life, people no longer dare to believe Didi Chuxing.

And Didi Chuxing seems to be unable to find a better solution to this problem in the short term. Because it is impossible to equip every Didi Chuxing driver with a dedicated policeman, the risks of Didi Chuxing are more or less existent.

The development of autonomous driving business may be able to save Didi Chuxing and water and fire. Although autonomous driving technology is not yet popular, it is already known as a new term, and Didi Chuxing has put this technology into it and formed a separate companyI think it's possible for this company to save its business and succeed again in the future.

Because of Didi Chuxing, the most important reason for people's doubts and worries is the driver problem, and Didi Chuxing cannot detect the quality and character of the driver very wellHowever, autonomous driving technology is a good solution to this problem.

Through the research and development of this technology, passengers will no longer have contact with unfamiliar drivers, and the safety factor and stability factor will be higher. This also relieves people's biggest concerns about Didi ChuxingTherefore, the independence of Didi's autonomous driving business may be able to save Didi Chuxing, which is in dire straits.
