Chapter 165 The True Meaning of Traffic
The navigation products used by local people have also changed from the nationwide Baidu map or Gaode map to the map developed by smart technology.

In terms of navigation ability, the one developed by Cheng Wen is much easier to use than ordinary navigation because of the large amount of data support.

Not to mention there are some things that fit the city.

The current xx city people have a characteristic, only in xx city, they don't use other navigation software.

This is spread through the word of mouth of the locals.

Cheng Wen and his company didn't make great efforts to promote it.

Later, Cheng Wen also took time to take Lu Danxue back to his hometown.

When he returned to his hometown, he received a lot of blessings, and of course some people were sour.

But Cheng Wen didn't care about unexpected people's gazes. In his opinion, this time was to visit his parents, and he brought his girlfriend to show them, so that they could rest assured and not have to worry about their lifelong affairs.

Just a few months later, something happened that Cheng Wen didn't expect...

The place where this thing happened is still in xx city.

It cannot be said that they are doing things.

Because Cheng Wen's smart transportation system has been installed, the traffic in xx city is developing very well, and there are not many traffic jams.

So many people who were still waiting and watching also bought cars one after another.

This has led to more private cars on the road.

The city's roads cannot increase endlessly, but the vehicle ownership rate has increased a little.

The smooth streets in the past have returned to the scene before the installation of smart traffic, and there are often traffic jams.

But that doesn't mean that the system developed by Cheng Wen doesn't work anymore.

Without their system, Cheng Wen believes that the traffic in xx city will definitely fall into an even worse situation.

This made Cheng Wen deeply think about the solution of smart transportation.

Their system really can't meet the large number of people's travel requirements.

Roads cannot be expanded all the time, vehicles will continue to increase, and people's travel needs will also continue to increase.

Cheng Wen thought for a while, maybe only one technology can really solve this problem.

Right now their system just makes the timing of traffic lights a little more reasonable.

But it cannot control the driving of the vehicle.

It would be great if all the vehicles were included in their system at any time and could be controlled by their system.

That is to have greater control over the traffic of the whole city.

What Cheng Wen thought of was driverless technology.

Some people say that unmanned driving technology cannot solve urban traffic problems, because with unmanned driving technology, more people will definitely buy cars.

Cheng Wen felt that this only considered one aspect and did not take into account the other aspect.

What this point of view thinks of is the problems they are facing now, that is, the traffic is smoother, and more people buy cars.

The traffic became less smooth again, and there was even a little traffic jam.

But they didn't think of another function. If all vehicles can be driverless in the future, then there will be a lot of driverless taxis.

As long as everyone can experience the experience of getting on the bus at any time, or within a short period of time, such as within 2 minutes, they must be able to respond, as long as they go down, there will be a car.

Then everyone estimates that their desire to buy a car will be reduced.

After all, after buying a car, you need to maintain it, refuel it, pay insurance for it, and buy a parking space for it.

But most of the time is in the garage, only a very small amount of time is running on the road.

Just to make my life more convenient, I don't need to wait where I want to go, I can just drive there when I go downstairs.

Although there are travel software such as Didi, it greatly facilitates people's travel.

But it has not yet reached the point where private cars can be abandoned.

To put it bluntly, it is not very useful.

Thinking of this, Cheng Wen felt that his company could gradually deploy unmanned driving, which is also a part of smart transportation.

But this needs to be considered in the long run. After all, the technology required for unmanned driving is not that simple.

Cheng Wen felt that they could start small.

They set their sights on shared bicycles.

Bike sharing is a new way of life that has emerged in recent years to facilitate people's travel.

But a lot of people got involved in it all at once, which caused the bubble to become very big.

After the waves receded, those naked swimmers were exposed and were seen naked.

It has been developed until now, and there are not many left.

The little yellow bike is dead, and so is the little blue bike. It can be said that only Mobike, which was acquired by Meituan, Qingju Bicycle, which was incubated by Didi, and Hellobike, which later became Ali’s, are still there.

In the end, without the intervention of capital, shared bicycles are not easy to survive.

Cheng Wen wants to learn from this idea, but it is not just a shared bicycle.

If you just do that, there is no innovation at all, and others have verified that this method cannot solve the problem of traffic jams.

Then there is no need to do it. The matter he is thinking about now is from a very high perspective.

It's not for making money, nor is it for squeezing out any company. If it's for the people's livelihood, it's a big banner, but Cheng Wen really has this idea.

He is to let the general public have a better experience and make it more convenient for everyone to travel.

So what Cheng Wen thinks is whether the shared bicycle can be made into a self-driving car.

Cheng Wen had this idea after careful consideration.

It will be very difficult if you go directly to study the autonomous driving of the car. Firstly, the cost is relatively high, and the site required is also large. Thirdly, because the speed of the car is fast, some driverless car licenses issued by the state are required. only then.

These are the reasons why the organization Cheng Wen positioned the target so well at once.

Relatively speaking, bicycles are much simpler.

The cost is very low, and the venue does not need to be considered so much.

In fact, it is better to say that it is a bicycle than an electric vehicle or a moped, because if the bicycle has no power, there is no way to control it to move forward by itself.

Modifying an electric car is nothing more than adding some radars, cameras, and things that can control its power direction and brakes.

There is no need to make a special venue, you just need to find a place with a particularly low traffic flow, and someone who specializes in it can watch it at any time.

There are very few people studying this technology now, and there is no need for the state to issue license plates for unmanned vehicles.

Some people may have doubts. Bicycles are meant to be pedaled by themselves. If it can drive automatically, what is the significance of this bicycle?
In fact, people who have this idea have not considered what the real meaning of transportation is.

It is true that there are some bicycle enthusiasts who like to pedal bicycles with their feet.

Sometimes on Sundays, we will meet together to go cycling and mountain climbing.

But these people are enthusiasts, belonging to a small minority.

The real meaning of transportation should be how to move one or more people from one place to another quickly.
