A few days ago, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee convened a meeting, clearly emphasizing the need to "accelerate the progress of the construction of 5G networks, data centers and other new infrastructure". At the same time, governments around the world have also come down, not only will the "new infrastructure" in the 2020 key investment plan, but also invested up to 40 trillion dollars.
So the concept of "new infrastructure" (short for new infrastructure construction), because of the central government as well as the active deployment of local governments, once again stood on the wind mouth.
What is "new infrastructure"?
Different from the "old infrastructure" put forward in 2008, which is also known as "iron and public infrastructure" (railroads, highways, airports, ports, water conservancy, etc.), "new infrastructure" is more focused on highlighting the transformation of industry. "more focused on highlighting the new direction of industrial transformation and upgrading, reflecting the trend of accelerating the development of high-end industry, referring to the 7 major areas of 5G infrastructure, ultra-high voltage, intercity high-speed railroads and urban rail transit, charging piles for new energy vehicles, big data centers, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet.
After the outbreak of the new Crown pneumonia epidemic, some traditional industries have been impacted, the central government's key deployment of the "new infrastructure" on the one hand, the weak economy ate a "pill", on the other hand, also to the development of the industrial Internet pressed the "accelerator button", "the accelerator button". "The new infrastructure is a new way of doing things, and it's a new way of doing things.
Automobiles and travel, as the pillar industries of the national economy, have also become the focus of "new infrastructure" bets. As early as in the "new infrastructure" concept put forward before, BAT and other head of science and technology enterprises have smelled the opportunity, have seized the first opportunity to enter the automotive industry. Take Tencent, although the entry is not the earliest, but have long been in the car networking, autonomous driving 5G vehicle road synergy and other areas of rapid formation of a school of thought.
5G --? "
First of all, let's talk about 5G.
In the "new infrastructure", 5G is listed as the key "new infrastructure" to support economic and social digitization, networking and intelligent transformation.
In the "new infrastructure", 5G is listed as the key "new infrastructure" to support the transformation of economic and social digitization, networking and intelligence, and plays a very important role in the construction of intelligent cars, as well as facilities related to intelligent transportation and smart cities.
And the focus of deploying 5G now is to promote the commercialization of 5G.
In February this year, China's 11 ministries and commissions jointly issued the "intelligent vehicle innovation and development strategy", which clearly points out that the combination of 5G?commercial deployment,?5G?commercial deployment,?5G?commercial deployment,?5G?commercial deployment,?5G?commercial deployment,?5G?commercial deployment,? Promote the construction of 5G and Telematics. The accelerated speed of 5G commercialization can bring huge imagination space for the development of the automobile industry, especially in the field of vehicle-circuit coordination, which will be the most important battlefield of 5G commercialization.
In this invisible battlefield, Tencent preemptively set up the first Chinese Internet company to focus on 5G technology and application research team -- Future Network Lab. In May last year, Tencent's Future Network Lab officially released the 5G Vehicle-Road Collaboration open-source platform, focusing on the field of vehicle-road collaboration based on edge computing, connecting people, vehicles, roads, and clouds, and focusing on solving the industry's pain points, such as low penetration rate of terminal equipment, lack of mainstream software to reach the user, lack of effective connectivity of road equipment, and fragmentation of road information.
At present, Tencent Future Network Lab has reached cooperation with the Highway Academy of the Ministry of Transportation, the National Engineering Laboratory of Green and Safe Construction Technology for Urban Rail Transportation, and enterprises such as Intel, Nokia, China Unicom, and Neusoft, *** together to promote the rapid landing of intelligent connected car applications in the 5G era.
Car networking -- 5G application landing "leading goose"
5G commercial applications, we have to mention car networking.In the industry, some people will be car networking compared to 5G this "key new infrastructure" application landing "leading goose", in the policy, industry chain and 5G commercial three elements drive, is expected to usher in a full outbreak from next year. For car companies, want to quickly realize the digital evolution, now the first task is to get the lead in the car networking battle.
So, car companies have also begun to actively cooperate with Internet technology companies, and in the cooperation, Internet companies also have their own clear positioning. Tencent intelligent travel vice president Zhong Xuedan has repeatedly emphasized that Tencent does not touch the hardware, and does not touch the operating system, in the upper level to build the car scene and experience, and the Internet ecological docking, to help car companies to connect users. Based on this "connector" positioning, Tencent has done what?
Tencent's Telematics map has officially landed on the car from the idea. Through Tencent's latest TAI ecological car networking, car owners can experience in the car WeChat in-vehicle version of the application created specifically for the driving scene, in reducing the use of cell phones at the same time can be safe, natural and real-world mingling and interaction, to get through the car before the car, driving, get out of the car after the scene of the seamless experience. Currently, Tencent has cooperated with Guangzhou Automobile, Chang'an, Great Wall, Dongfeng Liuzhou Automobile and other independent brands on their best-selling models in terms of Telematics, and is also exploring cooperation with BMW and other international brands.
Autonomous driving -- the wind vane of automotive "new infrastructure"
In the "new infrastructure", 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, etc. are widely used in autonomous driving. The application is extensive.
Recently, the state's action on automatic driving is also more frequent. First, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Development and Reform Commission and other 11 ministries and commissions issued the "Intelligent Vehicle Innovation and Development Strategy", specifically deployed the relevant work of automated driving; recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also released the "automotive driving automation classification" recommended national standards for approval, the first time to develop China's automated driving car classification standards, driving automation is divided into 0 to 5 levels.
Years ago, all sectors of society have devoted a great deal of attention to automated driving. Through the efforts of the government, the automotive industry, the Internet industry and other parties, automated driving-related laws and regulations, high-precision maps, radar technology, 5G/V2X, road testing and so on have made considerable breakthroughs.
In China, Tencent's automatic driving team has not only created three platforms, namely high-precision map platform, data cloud platform and simulation platform, which are integrated with automatic driving research and development, testing, and evaluation and verification, but also integrated to create a complete chain of automatic driving technology solutions and an inclusive, innovative and sustainable smart city solution, which will help automatic driving research and development and testing, as well as assisting in the formulation and validation of relevant standards. standards development and validation.
At present, Tencent Autopilot has joined hands with the National Intelligent Networked Vehicle (Changsha) Test Area to build the "Intelligent Networked Vehicle Simulation Laboratory" project in Hunan Province, which is committed to realizing safe and efficient intelligent vehicle experiments in a simulation environment. In addition, through strategic cooperation with BMW China, Tencent is also helping BMW to establish a high-performance data development platform to accelerate BMW's R&D of autonomous driving in the Chinese market.
Currently, the "new infrastructure" policy launched by the state will have a very significant and positive impact on the development of the automotive industry and even the construction of smart cities in the future. For Tencent's "new infrastructure" builders, the central government's frequent focus on "new infrastructure" not only brings policy dividends, but also encourages their determination to build. I believe that under the leadership of new policies and new technologies, China's auto industry will soon embark on the fast lane of high-quality development.This article comes from the authors of the automobile home car family number, does not represent the views of the automobile home position.
