1905 movie network news On September 2, 2023 local time, Venice, Italy, the 80th Venice Film Festival, won the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement. His friend and internationally renowned director took the stage as the introducer, making Tony Leung cry into an emoji: "You just want me to cry!"

Introducing Tony Leung emotionally, Ang Lee said: "He is a director’s dream, and there is something in his eyes that can shake people’s hearts, not just his eyes and his acting skills, but from his eyes you can see the shining soul. His glance expresses something better than many actors’ long monologues." For Ang Lee’s praise, Leung Chaowei was also moved when he took the stage to accept the award: "Thank you to my most respected director and friend for your kind praise."

After receiving the award, Tony Leung gave an interview to change his previous shy and taciturn image. Not only did he answer questions, but he also said humorously: "I always wanted to have a Golden Lion Award, and now I get it. It’s mine alone, and I don’t need to share it with anyone!"

Tony Leung’s beloved wife not only accompanied him to Venice to receive the award, but also posted kissing photos on major social media accounts on the 3rd to celebrate. In the photo, Liu Jialing held the trophy, Leung Chaowei took his lover’s shoulder, and the two looked at each other affectionately and kissed sweetly. In addition,,,, and other filmmakers also sent messages to congratulate Leung Chaowei on winning the Venice Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award.

　　Beijing, November 16 (Reporter Du Ximeng) According to the Voice of China "News Vertical and Horizontal" report, the Ministry of Transport and other six departments have recently conducted reminder interviews with eight online car-hailing and ride-hailing platform companies such as Shouqi Car-hailing and Shenzhou Youche, focusing on "aggregation platform access to illegal operation of online car-hailing" and "unbalanced process of online car-hailing compliance". For online car-hailing, new problems have arisen in the ride-hailing industry. What measures have the regulatory authorities taken? How to achieve the goal of "sustainable and healthy development of the online car-hailing industry"? Voice of China interviewed the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport to explain the above hot issues.

　　It has been more than a year since the Ministry of Transport, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Public Security and other departments carried out in-situ safety inspections on online car-hailing and ride-hailing platforms last year. But with the re-launch of Hitch, Meituan and other platforms have actively entered the online car-hailing travel market, and the industry has heated up again. Some new problems and new situations have also attracted the attention of regulatory authorities.

　　This week, the Ministry of Transport, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments jointly interviewed eight online car-hailing and ride-hailing platforms, including Shouqi Car-hailing and Meituan Travel, in the name of the Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference Office for Coordinated Supervision of New Formats of Transportation. Cai Tuanjie, deputy director of the Transport Services Department of the Ministry of Transport, revealed that the interview was a reminder-style interview. What new issues have attracted the attention of the regulatory authorities? "Recently, some aggregation platforms have been found to connect to non-compliant online car-hailing platform companies, vehicles and drivers, and engage in illegal online car-hailing operations in the name of’aggregation ‘," the six-department notice said. Cai Tuanjie said that they found that some platforms were responsible for passing the buck after disputes arose.

　　Cai Tuanjie said: "The aggregation platform is a measure recently launched by some platform companies to facilitate the people and improve the matching ratio of supply and demand. However, at present, individual aggregation platforms have connected to unqualified online car-hailing platform companies, vehicles and drivers, and have become helpers of illegal operations. On the other hand, individual aggregation platforms also encourage connected platform companies to establish new online car-hailing platform companies to avoid the legal responsibilities that carriers should bear. There are also individual aggregation platforms that are deeply involved in the online operation and dispatch of online car-hailing platform companies. In essence, they are engaged in online car-hailing business in the name of’aggregation ‘. However, when passengers encounter problems, there is a phenomenon of buck-passing between the aggregation platform and the access platform, infringing on the rights and interests of passengers. In this regard, we feel that whether it is an aggregation platform or an online car-hailing platform company, the responsibility for safety production cannot be avoided, and the safety of passengers is a common responsibility. Therefore, there must be joint and several responsibilities between platforms, and passengers must have basic living standards guarantee when encountering problems. Therefore, in this interview, we also ask the aggregation platform to strengthen the review and check the qualifications of the connected online car-hailing platform companies, and urge the connected online car-hailing platforms to strengthen the checks on the qualifications of vehicles and drivers, and resolutely put an end to illegal operations. "

　　At the same time, improving the level of safety and security and promoting the process of online car-hailing compliance are still hot issues of concern to regulatory authorities. Since the beginning of this year, platform companies such as Cao Cao Travel and Meituan Travel have been punished by local authorities for non-compliance of vehicles or sending orders to unqualified drivers. Cai Tuanjie said that safety compliance is an inevitable requirement for the development of online car-hailing, and all online car-hailing platform companies should take the initiative to cooperate with local management departments, organize qualified drivers and vehicles to apply for online car-hailing licenses as soon as possible in accordance with relevant regulations, and strictly implement the relevant requirements for background verification. Cai Tuanjie said: "Last year, we carried out in-situ inspections of major platform companies. Over the past year, each platform company has checked the rectification list and increased the rectification efforts, and achieved phased results. In particular, the safety awareness of platform companies has been greatly improved, and some problems affecting safety have been effectively rectified. Some safety systems have been gradually improved, and the safety mechanism has been gradually improved. However, we still need to continue to advance. For example, in terms of compliance, the compliance ratio of some platforms in online car-hailing drivers and vehicles is not very high. We need to adhere to the combination of dredging and blocking. On the one hand, the relevant city departments can provide convenient conditions for online car-hailing vehicles and drivers to enter the market, eliminate’glass doors’, and provide more convenient channels for everyone to enter the market. At the same time, we need to strengthen the crackdown on illegal operations, and speed up the pace of compliance of online car-hailing through the combination of dredging and blocking. "

　　Not only the safety of passengers is of paramount importance, but also the legitimate rights and interests of drivers, and the relevant regulatory authorities also paid special attention in this interview. Cai Unity revealed that in previous supervision, they found that some platform companies used the form of "rent purchase" to put vehicles on the market. In the process, some criminals used this form to carry out financial financing leases. When drivers entered the industry without knowing it, they encountered trouble when they wanted to quit. Cai Unity said: "Drivers are the direct providers of our transportation services. Compared with platform companies, drivers are at a disadvantage. Recently, there have also been some situations where’purchasing by rent ‘affects the stability of the industry. When drivers want to quit, the main problem is that the contract signed with the leasing company does not adequately protect the rights and interests of the driver, such as the refund of the deposit, the time limit for returning the car, etc., which harms the interests of the driver. We are concerned about this problem and should take measures to require the platform company to properly handle the contractual relationship between the leasing company and the driver in accordance with laws and regulations, to ensure that the legitimate interests of the driver are protected, so that the driver can easily enter the industry, and at the same time, when he wants to quit, he can also easily quit. "

　　The inter-ministerial joint meeting on the coordinated supervision of new transportation formats also requires that all platform companies continue to maintain the safety bottom line, continuously improve service levels, and form a long-term safety control mechanism to promote the sustainable, stable and healthy development of the industry.

　　Cai Tuanjie said: "Safety rectification is a long-term work. We require all platform companies to combine the situation of safety rectification, solidify the relevant mature mechanism, solidify the relevant effective system, and solidify the relevant formed standards. We can institutionalize and standardize the effectiveness of safety rectification and improve the long-term mechanism of enterprise safety production, so as to ensure safety in the long run. We also expect relevant platform companies to pay attention to safety for a long time, integrate the concept of safety development into the corporate culture, into the corporate system, and into the daily operation, and make every effort to ensure the safety of ordinary people’s travel, rather than blindly rely on compensation after the final safety accident to solve the problem."

　　News background:

　　On the afternoon of July 28, the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry". The "Guiding Opinions" divide taxis into two categories: cruise taxis and reserved taxis. For the first time, it is proposed to include Internet private cars in the management of reserved taxis, which clarifies the positioning of the taxi industry. At the same time, it clarifies the legal status of online car-hailing, supports the continuous innovation and standardized development of online car-hailing platform companies; and encourages the transformation of traditional taxi enterprises to provide online car-hailing services.

　　[Expert talk]

　　Zhu Wei: "Online car-hailing" is legal, China ranks first in the world

　　"The introduction of the Interim Measures has made our country the first country in the world to officially recognize the legalization of internet private cars," said Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law and an expert member of the Sharing Economy Working Committee of the Internet Association of China.

　　Zhu Wei said: "On a global scale, this is the first regulation to legislate and rectify the name of’Internet + ‘and the sharing economy. It is a good law of epoch-making significance." He also specifically mentioned that the New Deal has brought "Internet + travel" back to the market-dominant model, such as the implementation of market-adjusted prices for online car-hailing freight rates; "market incentives and promotions" are normal market behaviors. Except for being bound by competition laws and advertising laws, no additional requirements have been added, but they cannot be operated at a "price below cost" to disrupt the normal market order. For example, ride-hailing is a magic weapon to solve urban congestion and reduce urban vehicles on the road, and there are many mature legal precedents in judicial practice at home and abroad. " Hitchhiking is essentially different from the commercial profit of ride-hailing, so it is correct that the New Deal excludes it. "He said.

　　Su Kui: The new regulations on online car-hailing are a consensus reached through difficult trade-offs and games

　　How to balance the development of online car-hailing and fair competition is the most difficult point in the new regulations. How to regulate but not restrict the development of online car-hailing? How to develop online car-hailing while ensuring a fair competitive environment for online car-hailing and taxis.

　　For example, 8-year scrapping is considering that if they are all scrapped for 8 years according to the rental operation, it is unfair to the less intensive online car-hailing. It may also push a large number of online car-hailing drivers out of the platform.

　　Another example is to clarify the nature of the platform as a transportation service, rather than an information matchmaker. This is like a taxi at the starting line and is consistent with the experience of passengers. If there is a safety problem, the platform as a transportation service provider needs to take responsibility.

　　Whether it is the exposure draft issued last year or the new regulations that are finally difficult to introduce, the game and trade-off have always been the most difficult thing. "I am relieved that there is basically a relatively rational consensus now," Su Kui said.　　

　　[Media discussion]

　　Taxi and ride-hailing services will each have their place

　　The "Guiding Opinions" make it clear that the original taxis and online car-hailing will achieve "dislocation development", giving full play to the advantages of both, not only "affordable", but also "accessible", so that the different travel needs of people at different levels can be met.

　　It can be expected that with the implementation and entry into force of the new policy on online car-hailing, the online car-hailing market will usher in another round of adjustment, the number of online car-hailing and employees will change, the market positioning of online car-hailing will be further revised, and the platform’s management of online car-hailing will also be strengthened. At the same time, incorporating online car-hailing into the consideration of the taxi industry, setting necessary thresholds, supporting reasonable tax and fee policies, and maintaining market fairness will also effectively promote the balanced development of different levels of taxi services, and achieve a win-win situation for online car-hailing, platforms and consumers.　

　　Online car-hailing and taxis, from "fire and water are incompatible" to "each has its own place", contain the spirit of reform and innovation, which is representative and typical in the "Internet +" era. To expand, entering the Internet era, the new forms and new business forms that have been spawned will pose "conflicts and threats" to traditional related industries, which itself contains the opportunities and challenges of "Internet +". The accelerated pace of reform and innovation, the advancement of laws and regulations with the times, and the comprehensive promotion of the rule of law are the keys to solving problems, and are also reliable guarantees and core driving forces for better adapting to the Internet era.

　　The new policy of online car-hailing, an example of dealing with the relationship between the market and the government

　　How to characterize and manage online car-hailing has been torn in China for several years, concretely presenting the landscape of the deep-water period of reform. During this period, the strategy of dealing with black cars in local actual management, and the tight management signals revealed by relevant central ministries once made the development of the emerging business of online car-hailing fall into pessimism. Now, the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" and the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services" have been issued, which clearly give the legal status of online car-hailing, clarify that private cars can engage in online car-hailing operations, and require reducing taxi "share money". This highlights the victory of the market, reaffirms the reform logic of "letting the market play a decisive role in resource allocation", and expresses the value direction of streamlining administration and decentralization and sharing economy.

　　The new policy of online car-hailing is a model of open-door legislation

　　The process of formulating the new policy on online car-hailing is also a model for opening the door to legislation. From the introduction of large-scale subsidies on online car-hailing platforms in early 2014, to the promotion and operation of online car-hailing nationwide in 2015, and then to the beginning of 2016, the new policy on online car-hailing is a multi-party game. The introduction of a new policy necessarily involves the interests of multiple parties. How to balance reform, stability and development has become an issue that policy makers must weigh. During the introduction of the new policy on online car-hailing, not only the relevant ministries and commissions have repeatedly investigated, but also Shanghai, Yiwu and other places have actively explored it. Various provinces and cities have fully discussed it, and online car-hailing platforms and taxi companies have expressed their own opinions. The final new policy has basically become the greatest common denominator of the

　　Online car-hailing is just one representative of many new things, but the experience of online car-hailing governance has a wide range of exemplary significance. It is not advisable to build cars behind closed doors, and legislation should open the door even more. Regulators need to have more keen observation, more extensive research and more calm thinking, and emerging enterprises need more full expression, more attentive development and more rational self-discipline. The practice of online car-hailing has proved that the government and the market can achieve clear boundaries and benign interaction. Both business and new business can also coordinate development and healthy metabolism.

　　The legalization of online car-hailing requires even more good governance

　　The formulation of the document is only the first step. The next step is to do a good job in the detailed rules of the industry and the territory, and implement the reform. A major highlight of this reform is that it does not engage in a national "one ruler to the end". Metropolises have the practice of metropolises, and small counties have the situation of small counties. According to the principle of territorial management, full autonomy is given to all localities. If the design reform requires the epistemological wisdom of the overall situation, then the implementation of the reform needs to reconcile the methodological art of Ding Nai. The process of formulating the document has been discussed by more than 10 departments and more than 100 meetings, and the interests of all parties should be taken into account to the greatest extent. The implementation of the reform should also be carefully deployed and coordinated. It is necessary to have a sense of urgency to get rid of the slack, boldly promote management innovation, and also have a step-by-step methodology to firmly safeguard the bottom line of security Reform depends not only on the original intention, but also on the effect test.

　　[Netizen said]

　　@Lu Yutong: I haven’t taken a taxi for a long time. They all use online taxi-hailing. This is the result of market competition. I believe many people are like me. Everything has to comply with market laws.

　　Li Ermao 46054: Making the best use of things and people’s talents is a necessary condition for social development.

　　@Also as first seen: break the monopoly of taxi operation, reasonable competition, and ultimately benefit the people.

　　@Xuanzi 23386: The purpose of the new regulations is to standardize online car-hailing, ensure the rights and interests of passengers and the safety of passengers, and effectively ensure the quality of service.

Recently, the smart catering service provider that received 400 million yuan D round of financing – delicious food does not have to wait for good news: statistics show that the average daily queue volume of delicious food has reached a new high, the new number of ios in a single day has reached 7580, and the week-on-week ratio has increased by 126.13%; Android has added 3987, and the week-on-week ratio has increased by 161.61%; on Children’s Day on June 1, the number of mobile phones on the delicious platform exceeded 61,400, and the week-on-week ratio increased by 184.29%; the proportion of stores that can be picked up by mobile phone is also as high as 92.7%. The emergence of this series of new records strongly shows that online number picking has been highly recognized among both C-end users and B-end merchants, and has become increasingly popular. Delicious, a representative service provider for online number picking, is also gradually gaining popularity.

Delicious food enters the "snowball" rhythm

Statistics show that from May 18th to May 31st two weeks, in the delicious platform through the mobile phone number to take nearly 310,000, the average daily number to take nearly 22,100; the first week of June, in the delicious platform through the mobile phone number to take more than 198,300, the average daily number to take nearly 28,300, the growth trend is eye-catching.

And this is just the beginning for Delicious. It is understood that Delicious has not only received the capital and traffic support of Alibaba’s word-of-mouth and Ctrip, the leading investors in the D round of financing, but also recently reached cooperation with Didi Chuxing and China Merchants Bank to implement the "New Delicious Baichuan Plan" to help merchants acquire customers through multiple channels and help merchants establish their own traffic platforms. It is not difficult to imagine that the inflow of traffic from these BAT and other giants will form a "snowball effect", which will accelerate the development and growth of Delicious.

Deeply empowers restaurants to achieve six major enhancements

According to the data, Delicious entered the catering industry in 2013 with queuing, and in less than two and a half years, it occupied 95% of the catering queuing market. Since then, Delicious has anchored the continuous cultivation of smart catering through repeated trials and errors and rapid iterations, and gradually realized the opening of the whole process of restaurant business scenarios from queuing reservations to user-consumer payment. It has also launched a solution for the integration of the whole process of catering business scenarios – "Delicious · Smart Restaurant", which systematically solves the problems of restaurant efficiency, management, marketing, cost and customer dining experience. It can enable restaurants to achieve six major improvements: lifting time, lifting tables, raising new customers, returning customers, and picking up bills.

Different from other queuing systems, the widely used queuing system of delicious food also makes the following settings: ① Help merchants manage and guide consumers, establish a credit mechanism, if 5 times to cancel or be banned; ② Set up a queuing deposit to ensure that the actual queuing rate to the store; ③ Establish a membership system, from the step of taking the number to the merchant membership pool, help merchants to pull new; ④ Allow merchants to access their official account, build a queuing system with their official account, and then operate a good member, not necessarily relying on the platform. It can be said that every merchant can become their own small service provider, and this open attitude makes delicious food more popular with merchants.

Wide user experience

According to reports, delicious food and beverage merchants and many traffic platforms that implement the "router" strategy have carried out extensive and in-depth connections. As of now, customers can queue up online to pick up numbers, order food, and pay, whether through the delicious APP/WeChat service number, the merchant WeChat service number, or through other large-traffic platforms connected to the delicious system (such as Koubei, Ctrip Gourmet List, etc.).

Launched with delicious food
"Second row" function, users can go shopping after picking up the number, and then go to eat when there is a table, which not only reduces the attrition rate of queuing users, but also reduces the irritability of customers in the process of waiting, and improves the user experience; its "second point", "second payment", "member when you arrive at the store" are also very popular.
Users can directly achieve full self-service ordering and payment on their mobile phones, and the total time for the two operations does not exceed 10 minutes. There is no need for waiters to intervene in the payment process. They can check the menu, deduct discounts (while automatically stacking member discounts), complete the payment, and set the invoice title on their mobile phones. The whole process is completely self-service, truly eating and leaving.

From quantitative change to qualitative change

Data intelligence and AI decision-making are the commanding heights of smart catering, and to achieve good data intelligence and AI decision-making results, it mainly depends on two points: one is model optimization, and the other is data quality. Are these two footholds stable?

Data show that by 2017, delicious food has covered more than 200 cities and nearly 100,000 restaurants across the country, providing high-quality food service experience for nearly 1 billion consumers, and extensive connections have allowed delicious food to precipitate a steady stream of massive big data. In the control of big data, an important means of production known as the decisive future, delicious food has been invincible. The "New Delicious Baichuan Plan" is even more connected to Ali’s word-of-mouth, Ctrip Gourmet List, Didi Chuxing, and other large commercial banks. Credit card client side cooperation will undoubtedly give delicious food an innate advantage in the quality and quantity of big data.

In terms of model optimization, Delicious’s strength should not be underestimated. Delicious has previously released enterprise big data, which not only includes the change trend analysis of the national queuing flow time period, but also the TOP10 cuisines with an average queuing volume in 2017. It also provides the average equivalence time of each cuisine in 2017, which is accurate to the minute, and the average distance of online number picking, which is accurate to kilometers.
"Muscle". In addition, according to reliable news, Delicious has finalized a large-scale technological enhancement in April this year – teamed up with a very powerful catering SaaS software company to deeply empower catering companies and users with technology. Delicious’s determination and courage to create smart catering are clearly visible, and what kind of growth curve it will exhibit in the future is more worthy of everyone’s expectation.

　　Looking at the navigation and still can’t find the way? This may be the pain in the heart of many "road idiots". Can the guidance tool be more intuitive? AR walking navigation, which is known as the gospel of "road idiots", may be able to do it.

　　In order to solve the "road crazy" problem, Autonavi recently announced that it will cooperate with OPPO to launch the first AR walking navigation using SLAM technology in China.

　　What is this navigation system? Mobile AR walking navigation refers to the combination of AR technology and navigation functions, allowing users to see the panoramic route and destination location through the mobile phone camera, making it convenient for users to identify directions. During the navigation process, users don’t have to check the map route information repeatedly, just combine voice navigation, real street view, and follow the instructions of arrows or cartoon characters to find the direction and reach the destination smoothly.

　　So, can AR walking navigation really help "road idiots"? Compared with 2D navigation, how accurate is it? What technical bottlenecks does it still have to break through?

　　Still in the exploratory stage, the user experience needs to be improved

　　Usually, with traditional two-dimensional navigation products, users need to constantly observe the real world, compare it with the two-dimensional map on the mobile phone, and then identify the direction they should go. Many people feel that when using two-dimensional navigation tools in unfamiliar environments, because they are not familiar with road conditions, this "map-to-road correspondence" will distract a lot of driver’s energy and even increase the probability of traffic accidents.

　　AR Walking Navigation attempts to solve the above problems. It deeply combines maps, mobile phone cameras and AR technology. The camera will present everything in the real world on the mobile phone screen, and virtual models such as cartoon characters and indicator arrows will be superimposed on the existing images. This virtual model can guide pedestrians. During the guidance process, users only need to look at the screen to reach their destination, and no longer need to rack their brains to "translate" the information on the 2D map.

　　"For pedestrians, AR navigation does provide some help, but there are still problems in tracking accuracy and user experience." Weng Dongdong, a researcher at the Institute of Optoelectronic Information Technology and Color Engineering of Beijing Institute of Technology, explained to the Science and Technology Daily reporter that traditional two-dimensional GPS navigation requires relatively low accuracy in positioning and direction, and even if there is an error of a few meters, it will not have much impact on navigation. But AR navigation has very strict requirements on accuracy, with an accuracy of centimeters and a direction accurate to a few tenths of a degree. This means that as long as there is an error of a few tenths of a degree, users using AR navigation will feel that the wayfinding logo is "floating" on the screen, affecting the accuracy of the indication.

　　In addition, AR navigation requires real-time monitoring of the environment, and the mobile phone needs to keep moving with the progress. But if the mobile phone shakes frequently, the image will change rapidly, which is easy to lead to tracking failure, and the experience of AR navigation will not be so good. "Compared with a few years ago, AR navigation has made great progress, but the user is the examiner. If you go from 10 to 59, you still fail the examiner, although this process of improvement requires great effort," Weng Dongdong said frankly.

　　"Even if mobile AR navigation can be very accurate now, the only way to use it is to take it out and take a look and then continue walking. Keep holding the phone to see, many people will find it unnecessary." Weng Dongdong believes that mobile AR navigation is not in line with users’ usage habits.

　　However, Weng Dongdong believes that the concept of AR walking navigation is not wrong, but the current product is still in the early exploration stage, and there is still a long way to go before the mature product form. "At present, this type of AR navigation is more of a tentative transitional product, so that everyone can find a sense. Companies use this to collect some user experience as feedback and test some new ideas."

　　Hardware affects experience, and breakthroughs require basic research

　　In Weng Dongdong’s opinion, an important reason why the current AR navigation experience is slightly inferior is the hardware. "The most important breakthrough in AR navigation technology is the’end ‘, that is, the hardware device." In his opinion, AR navigation on smart glasses is more practical than on mobile phones, but it is difficult to achieve large-scale popularity of glasses in a short period of time.

　　In addition to mobile phones, hardware that can be equipped with AR technology includes fixed AR devices (virtual fitting mirrors), head mounted displays, smart glasses and other hardware devices. But currently compared to mobile phones, the market share of other AR devices is very limited.

　　The relevant market report released by IDC this year shows that in 2017, the global tethered AR device (even PC computer/host) sales are about 30,000, the all-in-one AR device is about 120,000, and the screenless AR device (inserted into the mobile phone box) is about 450,000. The report predicts that the sales of tethered AR devices in 2018 are expected to reach 120,000, the all-in-one AR device is expected to reach 290,000, and the screenless AR device is about 820,000.

　　Compared with a few years ago, the sales of these devices have improved significantly, but compared with the mobile phones with annual sales of hundreds of millions, the market for these AR hardware is still too niche.

　　The first reason why the market space is difficult to open is the price. Dr. Bouhamri, a technology and market analyst at French market research firm Yole Développement, has said that although AR technology has great prospects, it also has limitations, and its promotion cost is high, especially reflected in the price. For example, Microsoft HoloLens, a head-mounted display released by Microsoft in 2015, has been well received by the industry, but its price of up to 30,000 yuan is prohibitive.

　　Another barrier to AR’s popularity lies in technology. "At present, there is no AR device with a particularly good experience on the market," Weng Dongdong said.

　　Zheng Yu, CEO of AR start-up company Lingxi Shimmer, expressed a similar view. At an offline salon, taking the popular AR game "Pokemon Go" as an example, he said that the real AR gaming experience should not require the help of mobile phones, but can see the real Pikachu (the cartoon image in "Pokemon Go") directly on this table. "This is a very important concept. If we also use the intermediary of mobile phones, the AR effect will be greatly reduced." Zheng Yu admitted that there is currently no AR device that can achieve this effect.

　　How long will it take to do the "end" of AR navigation well? It depends on the speed of basic research development in related fields. "Mainly basic research in optics, from principle to process, from sample process to mass production process, it takes a long time." Weng Dongdong stressed that hardware development cannot be separated from technological progress, and technological progress is inseparable from basic research.

　　However, when the hardware is powered up, the software can work first. "No matter what kind of hardware device is used, the software technology of AR navigation is the same, such as GPS, SLAM, computer identification, background computing, big data, etc. Before the hardware is ready, the software problem can be solved first," Weng Dongdong said.

　　SLAM: AR navigation from fake to real key

　　In fact, AR walking navigation is nothing new. Map apps with this feature have been available for several years.

　　"From a global perspective, most of the early AR navigation products are based on GPS, that is, GPS AR, which is called’pseudo ‘AR by some people." The relevant person in charge of Autonavi map navigation technology told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that SLAM technology can create an accurate "real" AR navigation experience for users. SLAM, as the key underlying technology of AR navigation, is SLAM AR. It can combine real scenes with imaginary space, and use the power of computer vision and graphics technology to eliminate the boundary between virtual and real, and improve the navigation efficiency of users.

　　SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping). Many scholars believe that it is the key to realizing a truly fully autonomous mobile robot. With SLAM technology, the robot starts to move from an unknown location in an unknown environment, locates according to the map during the movement, and builds incremental maps on the basis of its own positioning to achieve autonomous positioning and navigation.

　　In layman’s terms, SLAM answers two questions: "Where am I?" and "What is around me?" Autonavi’s head of map navigation technology explained that, like a person in an unfamiliar environment, SLAM is trying to solve the problem of restoring the relative spatial relationship between the observer and the surrounding environment. "Where am I?" corresponds to the problem of positioning, while "What is around me?" corresponds to the problem of mapping.

　　"SLAM technology is the key technology for AR navigation, and if it fails, it will cause a series of problems." Weng Dongdong pointed out that SLAM has developed rapidly in recent years, but the technology also has certain limitations – it is very demanding on the environment, such as object movement, mobile phone shaking, occlusion, etc. can interfere with it.

　　In addition, the high power consumption is also one of the shortcomings of SLAM technology at present. "In theory, SLAM AR does consume more power than GPS AR, but after local optimization, the power consumption of SLAM AR integrated with GPS technology, that is, SLAM AR + GPS AR, can be the same as that of GPS AR as a whole. At the same time, SLAM AR + GPS AR can improve the accuracy of user walking navigation, and the future development is worth looking forward to." Autonavi map navigation technology related person in charge said.

Financial Investment Network News (Reporter, Liu Min)Recently, at the departure ceremony of the international section of the "Belt and Road Initiative Global Tour", Autonavi Maps announced the official launch of its "World Map" product: applying the global positioning capabilities of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System (hereinafter referred to as the "Beidou System") to realize overseas route planning and navigation services; also based on itinerary positioning records, lighting up the countries and cities that users pass through along the way.

"The name World Map represents our vision: to create a world-class product that allows Chinese technology to light up the world." Liu Zhenfei, president of Autonavi Maps, introduced that the first thing to do is to make "a world map for Chinese people" to help Chinese users travel the world and help Chinese industries go overseas; in the future, we hope to go further and become "a world map for people of the world", based on China’s high-tech Autonavi map, to create a world product that serves people around the world.

In addition, as a global map navigation partner of the "Belt and Road Initiative Global Tour", Autonavi will continue to provide map navigation service support for the international segment of this event.

Beidou leads the way, Autonavi goes abroad

The official launch of the Autonavi world map is inseparable from the global positioning capability of the Beidou system.

Autonavi has been exploring the application of this country’s most important tool for many years – under the guidance and support of the China Satellite Navigation System Management Office, in recent years, it has launched innovative services such as lane-level navigation, traffic light countdown, blind spot meeting warning, etc., which have been well received by the majority of users and promoted the universality of this domestic high-tech technology in the field of civilian travel. At present, Autonavi maps call Beidou satellite daily positioning volume has exceeded 336 billion times.

Nowadays, overseas route planning and navigation services can be realized on the Autonavi world map empowered by Beidou Global. Just like in China, users only need to set the starting and ending points, and they can get a complete and reasonable driving or walking route planning plan on the APP. Estimate the arrival time and distance in advance, and choose to navigate to it with one click.

Based on the itinerary location records, the Autonavi world map also allows users to light up the countries and cities they pass through on the APP, and save them in the Autonavi account for easy viewing at any time in the future.

In addition, when users are in certain regions, such as countries and cities along the "Belt and Road Initiative", they can also view the surrounding lifestyle services on the Autonavi map, including restaurants, attractions, hotels, shopping malls, etc., to better understand and experience the local atmosphere.

So far, Autonavi World Map has been launched in more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and users can use it after upgrading the Autonavi Map APP to the latest version.

China’s technology lights up the world, helping to build the digital "Belt and Road Initiative"

"As a technology-based technology company, Autonavi has focused on" making a living map "in China for more than two decades. Now we want to go abroad and upgrade to" a world map for the Chinese ". Liu Zhenfei said that China’s technology going overseas is a big proposition. With the rapid development of China’s economy and industry, many companies have begun to think or layout globally, and some companies have achieved remarkable results in overseas markets." Today, I think Chinese technology companies go overseas, they have technology and strength, and what they need more now is a kind of’at this moment, it is me ‘courage. "

Autonavi World Map was born in this context. The product allows users to enjoy navigation services in more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and can light up the countries and cities that pass by and leave footprints along the way. Autonavi World Map will also be committed to serving Chinese industries going overseas. Based on open ecological construction, it will assist Chinese enterprises to go abroad and achieve global business development.

"Based on the accumulation of more than 20 years of travel technology and service capabilities, Autonavi will also actively participate in the construction of the digital’Belt and Road Initiative ‘. I hope that in the near future, more and more Chinese companies can be seen on the world map." Liu Zhenfei introduced that in the future, the user-centric service concept will continue, and the Autonavi map based on China’s advanced technology will be further developed into a world product serving people around the world. "This is the great initiative of the’Belt and Road Initiative’, which brings us spiritual inspiration."

From September 2nd, Autonavi World Map will start to provide map navigation services for overseas countries and regions for the "Belt and Road Initiative Global Tour" activity.

It is understood that this special event of the "Belt and Road Initiative Global Tour" will focus on some cities along the "Belt and Road Initiative" and important cooperation projects between China and foreign countries as the route, and the inspection and reporting team will travel through a total of 5 provinces, autonomous regions and cities in China and 15 overseas countries, lasting more than 3 months.

　　[Original test drive] After leaving the group, although the global performance has improved and the development is booming, the power system has also become a big problem for this brand. Ford’s 2.0-liter in-line 4-cylinder can’t meet Volvo’s demand, so it has to move out of the in-line 5-cylinder engine at the bottom of the closet to save the scene. In terms of gearbox, PowerShift and Aisin’s 6-speed are also used as a transition. Finally, this year, the new DRIVE-E powertrain technology, which cost $11 billion, has achieved results, and Volvo has finally survived the stage of green and yellow.

　　Starting from this year, Volvo will update its engines and gearboxes around the world, and the latest DRIVE-E series powertrain will also enter the domestic market. The first model equipped with new engine and gearbox is XC60, which is the main sales model, and then other models will also replace the power system one after another. We test-drive the XC60 T5 with a brand-new 2.0-liter in-line 4-cylinder engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission at the first time. Because the steering and steering have not changed, we will focus on the improvement brought by the new power system. (Please see here for the detailed introduction of the new model:New 2.0T Engine +8AT Real Shot New Volvo XC60)

　　According to Volvo’s introduction, the future DRIVE-E series engines will all use in-line 4-cylinder layout, and obtain more power through a series of technologies such as supercharging, which can completely replace the traditional 6-cylinder engine in power output, and can also be connected with motors in the future to form a system, and the comprehensive output will reach the level of the traditional 8-cylinder engine. At present, a diesel engine and two gasoline engines have been released, of which the power is 245 horsepower and 306 horsepower respectively. Based on the current inline 4-cylinder block, there will be 8 different models to choose from in the future.

　　The new XC60 T5 model uses a 245 HP gasoline engine with an output of 350 Nm. Relatively speaking, XC60 is lucky, because it has always retained the 4-cylinder engine left by Ford, which is also an advanced engine. Compared with the past, the new T5 model has slightly improved power and optimized torque output, which can provide a maximum torque of 350 Nm from 1500 rpm. According to the official data, the 0-100 km/h acceleration of XC60 T5 model is shortened by 0.9 seconds to 7.2 seconds with the DRIVE-E engine.

　　If we only look at the parameters of the engine, the power improvement of the new engine is not enough to cause such a big gap in acceleration. Here, the new 8-speed automatic gearbox plays a greater role. The gearbox of the new model is provided by Aisin, which is Aisin’s first 8-speed automatic gearbox based on horizontal platform. The transmission ratio range of the new gearbox is increased by 23% compared with the previous 6-speed gearbox, so it can be expected that the shift of the new model will be smoother, the fuel consumption will be reduced, and the acceleration will also be improved.

　　During the test drive, we can feel that the response of the new engine is very positive, especially when the throttle opening is large and the engine is accelerating rapidly, and the engine has abundant power in the middle and high speed range. In daily driving, the performance of the whole power system is relatively calm, without too much emphasis on power output, but in a relatively low-key state, presumably engineers are more concerned about fuel consumption. When driving at a constant speed, the gearbox will control the speed at 1500 rpm, which is just the range of maximum torque output. The throttle response of the new model is very good, so basically you can get a good response immediately when you step on the throttle.

　　The smoothness of the 8-speed gearbox has made a qualitative leap compared with the previous 6-speed gearbox. If you don’t pay attention to the state of the gearbox with extremely demanding standard time, then you won’t feel it shifting gears. When accelerating rapidly, the gearbox responds directly, and immediately downshifts without hesitation. I think the performance of the powertrain of the new XC60 can be comparable to that of the 328i, and the combination of BMW’s 2.0T engine and 8AT gearbox can be said to be the leading level in this field at present. In other words, Volvo’s new powertrain can be regarded as a benchmark.

　　The performance of fuel economy can’t be understood in the test drive, but from the power performance and the running state of the engine during normal driving, there should be obvious differences in fuel consumption between the new powertrain and the old model. In addition, the ECO+ driving mode is added to the new model. In this mode, the gearbox will shift up ahead of schedule, and the response of the throttle will slow down. It is said that the working state of the air conditioning system will also change, thus achieving the best energy-saving efficiency. The strangest thing is that in this mode, the automatic engine start-stop function will turn off the engine before the vehicle stops completely. When the driver steps on the brake and the vehicle slows down to about 5km/h, the engine stops working. At this time, the vehicle coastes by inertia, and the engine will ignite again when the brake is released. In normal mode, the engine automatically starts and stops after the vehicle is completely stationary.

　　DRIVE-E is the largest strategic project of Volvo since it was incorporated into the group, and its result will determine the future development direction of Volvo. At present, the newly planned powertrain has reached the industry-leading level in technology, allowing Volvo to finally make up for the shortcomings of the powertrain, and Volvo’s models finally have the capital to compete with competitors in an all-round way. Compared with XC60, I look forward to the performance of S60, V60, V40 and other models equipped with new powertrains, because at present, these models still rely on the 5-cylinder engine more than 20 years ago as the power source in the domestic market, and their competitiveness will be greatly improved after replacing the new engine. In addition, I believe most people are curious about the performance of the 306 horsepower plus engine. This engine will be equipped on the two-wheel drive T6 model in the future, and the T6 AWD will still use the inline 6-cylinder engine for the time being.

　　In addition to the intuitive advantages of power and fuel consumption, DRIVE-E series engines have smaller volume and lighter weight, so they can also bring some additional benefits. For example, all Volvo models adopt the mode, and the engine is transverse, which makes it difficult for all Volvo models to achieve perfect front and rear weight distribution. The new engine reduces the weight and improves the top-heavy situation of the vehicle to some extent. In the conversation with Volvo engineers, I also learned that the DRIVE-E powertrain with the new SPA modular platform architecture can bring more advantages. Because the engine becomes smaller and the 4-cylinder engine replaces the 6-cylinder engine, the engine occupies less engine compartment space, so the layout of steering mechanism and front suspension can be more flexible. It is said that the new model based on SPA platform can achieve shorter front suspension, and the next generation model may adopt more advanced double A-arm suspension to replace the current McPherson structure. In short, thanks to the new engine, the driving performance of the next generation Volvo models will be improved.

　　Let’s talk about the XC60 sold in China. After replacing the powertrain, the price of the vehicle increased by 9,000 yuan, the power increased by 5 horsepower and 30 Nm, and the gearbox had two available gears, in exchange for better driving experience and fuel efficiency. The money was still well spent. (Text/Figure car home Wang Kugong)
