Hubei Daily News (Reporter Jassamyn Liu, correspondent Liu Chang, Li Xingde) On April 25th, it was learned from Wuhan Hanyang Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau that in order to facilitate the visually impaired to travel, the bureau laid a new type of hot-melt blind road on several roads, which will be gradually promoted in the whole region in the future.

On Jiangcheng Avenue in Hanyang District, blind people walk on the new hot-melt blind road in this section, and there is obvious concave and convex feeling under their feet. The strip-shaped blind brick indicating the heading direction is basically the same as the permeable concrete pavement on both sides, and there is no discomfort when accidentally stepping on the brick surface. During the hundreds of meters’ journey, except for the tension caused by "invisibility", there is no feeling of slipping under the feet.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Facilities Management Section of Hanyang Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau, in the past blind road construction, concrete blind road bricks were mostly used, which were mainly laid on sidewalks. In order to ensure the practicability, safety and humanization of blind roads, Hanyang Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau draws lessons from advanced practices and listens to the opinions and suggestions of visually impaired people, taking Jiangcheng Avenue, Mohe Hubei Road and Longyang Avenue as the pilot, and gradually adopts hot melt technology to build blind roads in the whole district.

Hot-melt blind road pavement is fast, and traffic can be opened in 20 minutes after on-site construction. "Compared with the traditional concrete blind road brick, the hot-melt blind road is more durable, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and has good identification and anti-slip, which is more friendly and safer for blind friends." The person in charge introduced.

In view of the problems existing in urban blind roads, the bureau will continue to adjust some details, such as the conflict between blind roads and piles, the irregular setting of stone-missing ramps or kerb ramps, and the discontinuous interruption of blind roads, so as to ensure the safety and smoothness of visually impaired people’s walking to the greatest extent.

According to statistics, since 2023, Hanyang District Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau has concentrated its efforts on the rectification of blind roads, such as subsidence, dislocation, breakage, looseness, lack, continuous unreasonable turning around of blind roads and obstacles on blind roads. Up to now, 837 blind roads with an area of 2,114 square meters have been rectified.

　　China Network November 13th According to the official Weibo news of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, according to the latest forecast results of China National Environmental Monitoring Center, from November 13th to 15th, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas and Fenwei Plain will be affected by unfavorable meteorological conditions, and a heavy air pollution process will occur. The National Joint Center for Prevention and Control of Air Pollution organized expert consultation in time, and invited Chai Fahe, the chief scientist of atmospheric environment of china environmental science Research Institute, to interpret the sources and causes of this pollution process.

　　I. General situation

　　Since November 12th, the meteorological conditions in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas and Fenwei Plain have gradually deteriorated, and pollutants have accumulated slowly. At 0: 00 on the 12th, the concentration of PM2.5 in Anyang first reached hourly heavy pollution, and then the concentration of PM2.5 in Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, Xingtai and other cities reached hourly heavy pollution, and gradually developed northward. As of 22: 00 on the 12th, the highest hourly concentration of PM2.5 in the area was 206 μ g/m3, which appeared in Kaifeng (19: 00 on the 12th). The maximum hourly concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing reached 150 μ g/m3 (at 21: 00 on the 12th).

　　According to the latest forecast results of China National Environmental Monitoring Center, from November 13th to 15th, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas and Fenwei Plain will be affected by unfavorable meteorological conditions, and the air quality of some cities in Beijing, Tianjin, central and southern Hebei Province, eastern and southern Shanxi Province, western Shandong Province, northern Henan Province and Guanzhong area will reach serious pollution for two to three consecutive days, and some cities may have serious pollution. Beijing’s air quality was dominated by moderate to heavy pollution on the 13th, and it may reach heavy pollution on the 14th, and it may maintain heavy pollution on the morning of the 15th, and it is expected to improve around noon.

　　Second, the cause analysis

　　1. Meteorological conditions

　　From the 12th, the near-surface of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas turned to weak southerly winds, and the nighttime wind speed decreased, the humidity increased, and the atmospheric diffusion conditions deteriorated. In most cities, static stability, high humidity and inversion occurred, and pollutants gradually accumulated. Meteorological departments in various places have issued fog warnings respectively. On the night of the 12th, Beijing was affected by the superposition of the inversion temperature in the middle atmosphere and the high humidity near the ground, which was beneficial to the rapid transformation and moisture absorption growth of secondary particles and pushed up the concentration of PM2.5.

　　2. Pollution discharge

　　At present, the emission of air pollutants in the industrial and transportation fields is still at a high level, and the amount of various types of construction is extensive, and the control of dust is still not in place. At the same time, the northern region has entered the early winter season, the weather is getting colder, the urban built-up areas have started heating in winter, and rural areas have also started self-heating. The regional pollutant emissions have increased, and the air pollutant emissions have entered the highest season of the year.

　　Third, early warning and emergency response

　　In response to the pollution process from the 13th to 15th, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has sent letters to the people’s governments of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and Shaanxi provinces (cities), suggesting that all localities should start early warning of heavy pollution weather at corresponding levels according to the local air quality forecast and take emission reduction measures in advance to effectively reduce the impact of heavy pollution weather. As of 8: 00 on the 13th, 25 cities in the above-mentioned provinces and cities issued early warnings, 8 cities in Hebei Province and 6 cities in Henan Province issued orange warnings, and started Class II emergency response measures; Eleven other cities issued yellow warnings and launched Class III emergency response measures, including Beijing at 8: 00 on the 13th and Tianjin at 12: 00 on the 13th.

　　According to the preliminary calculation, the emergency emission reduction measures taken for this heavy pollution process have reduced the emission of primary particulate matter, SO2, NOx, VOCs and other pollutants by about 10%-15%.

　　Fourth, forecast and forecast

　　According to the latest air quality forecast results of China National Environmental Monitoring Center in consultation with provincial monitoring centers in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and surrounding areas, around noon on November 15, the regional pollution process was slowly reduced due to the influence of cold air, and the pollution zone moved slowly to the south as a whole. The central area of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei improved, and the southern part of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the western part of Shandong and the northern part of Henan may maintain heavy pollution due to pollution transmission. It is expected that the pollution process will end on November 16.

　　From November 16 to 18, due to the continuous influence of cold air, the diffusion conditions are favorable, and most areas in the region are mainly excellent, and some areas may be slightly polluted.

　　It is estimated that the air quality in Beijing will improve around noon on November 15th, with good to light pollution as the main pollution throughout the day and excellent pollution from 16th to 18th.

Data source: People’s Bank of China, Network Clearing Co., Ltd. Drawing: Cai Huawei

　　The online payment business involving bank accounts needs to be cleared through the network, and the capital channel is more transparent, but the payment experience is not affected.

　　Liu Manning, who lives in Tongzhou District, Beijing, placed 14 orders in Taobao this year, and paid by China Merchants Bank credit card bound by Alipay, spending more than 10,000 yuan. "Most of the things I bought were not pre-sold, so I quickly placed an order for payment just after zero. At that time, it was definitely the peak period of snapping up, but the payment process was very smooth and there was no stagnation when paying. " Liu Manning said.

　　The central bank stipulates that all third-party online payment services involving bank accounts are cleared through the network. The full name of the network is the network payment and clearing platform of non-bank payment institutions. Whether consumers transfer money from a savings card to a WeChat red envelope, or transfer the balance of Alipay to a bank card for cash withdrawal, or pay through a credit card bound by Jingdong wallet, the network connection plays a key role in the behind-the-scenes liquidation process.

　　As an important financial infrastructure, Netlink has access to more than 400 banks and all 115 licensed online payment institutions including Alipay and Tenpay (WeChat Pay).

　　Before the establishment of the network, online payment institutions directly connected with banks for liquidation, which easily caused problems such as multi-head liquidation and unclear capital flow. For example, buying a pair of shoes from 300 yuan in Tmall, in short, the liquidation mode of the network connection is: consumers choose the savings card of China Construction Bank bound by Alipay to pay; When Alipay receives the payment request, it automatically initiates the agreement payment to Netlink, which saves the transaction information in the database and forwards the request to CCB. After 300 yuan was deducted from the consumer’s account, CCB informed the network that the deduction had been successful; Netlink then informed Alipay that the payment was successful and the transaction was completed.

　　From the payment data released by the central bank in the third quarter of this year, we can get a glimpse of the rapid growth of online business. The data shows that Netlink handled 33.655 billion transactions in the third quarter, amounting to 12.68 trillion yuan; The daily average processing business was 366 million transactions, an increase of 3.09 times compared with the second quarter; The average daily processing amount was 137.822 billion yuan, up 3.65 times from the previous month.

　　However, when consumers pay for goods, they may not be aware of the changes brought by the network connection, which is mainly due to the optimization of the back-end clearing system, which will not have much impact on the front-end operation behavior and usage habits.

　　What impact will access to the network bring to the payment institution? The person in charge of the payment institution serving an e-commerce platform said: "At the beginning of May this year, we cut some e-commerce businesses to the network for liquidation, which improved the user payment experience in a short time. By analyzing the data of 40 days before and after cutting, we found that the success rate of user card binding increased by 2.34 percentage points, and the success rate of PC-side fast payment increased by 2.39 percentage points. "

　　"double 11" is a big test for the network. According to the data provided by Netlink, since November this year, more than 90% of the online payment services jointly carried out by payment institutions and commercial banks have been handled through Netlink. On the day of "double 11", Netlink handled 1.17 billion inter-agency payment transactions, and the corresponding peak value of inter-agency transaction processing exceeded 92,000 transactions per second, which also set a record for clearing institutions at home and abroad.

　　"double 11" is the peak of online payment over the years, and the peak time has repeatedly set a global concurrent peak record, which brings great challenges to the system capacity and line bandwidth of the participants, and is a centralized test of the scientific and technological capabilities of the participants. Xue Hongyan, director of Internet Finance Center of Suning Financial Research Institute, thinks that the processing performance and peak load-carrying capacity of Netlink have been verified and recognized by the market from the situation of "double 11" this year.

　　"Disconnecting direct connection" leaves traces everywhere in the transaction, making the payment account safer and the operation and maintenance cost of the payment institution lower.

　　In recent years, the rapid expansion of online payment services has played a positive role in supporting economic development and the convenience of people’s lives, on the other hand, it has also brought some problems.

　　The person in charge of a small and medium-sized payment institution was very touched by this: "Before the establishment of the network, our company mainly settled through the agency model, which is the so-called’ direct connection’. At that time, we established a total of eight clearing channels with eight banks. However, in this mode, because the interface standards and security specifications between these clearing systems are different, our operation and maintenance costs are pushed to a particularly high level. "

　　Under the traditional "direct connection" mode, the management of customer reserve fund is also a difficult point. After consumers buy goods online, the payment they made before receiving the goods has been kept in the bank account opened by the online payment institution, which is the customer reserve. From the time the payment institution receives the payment to the merchant, the customer’s reserve fund will stay in its account for a period of time, and the reserve fund will also be misappropriated, which will endanger the security of the payment account.

　　The safety of capital flow has attracted much attention. Yan Lidong, a member of the expert committee of China Supply Chain Financial Services Alliance, said that in the past, after a number of banks set up accounts, online payment institutions were able to complete all payment transactions, which essentially enabled the inter-bank clearing function. Because the capital flow and information flow only circulate in the payment institution itself, the supervisor can only see the changes of funds in the bank account of the payment institution, but can’t effectively supervise the possible violations in the payment process.

　　After the establishment of the network, these chaos is expected to be gradually improved. Zhao Yi, a special researcher at the Research Center for Payment and Clearing of the Institute of Finance of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that the original intention of the establishment of the network link was to "break the direct connection". "Broken direct connection" can leave traces everywhere in the transaction, help to monitor the flow of funds, maintain the stability of the payment system and ensure financial stability. A large-scale clearing platform dedicated to third-party payment institutions is also unique in the world.

　　Zhao Wei believes that, on the one hand, the network connection adopts a unified access platform, technical standards and message specifications, which not only saves the repeated construction costs of online payment institutions and banks, but also reduces the post-maintenance costs caused by inconsistent standards. On the other hand, after access to the network, the operation and maintenance costs and channel barriers of small and medium-sized payment institutions will be reduced, and they can get equal opportunities to compete with large institutions at the liquidation level, and they can focus on product innovation and customer service. The competition among all kinds of payment institutions will be carried out in enriching payment scenarios, facilitating financial services and enhancing customer experience in the future.

　　"The network is centralized and liquidated, all black-box operations will be exposed to the sun, and the safety of users’ funds can be guaranteed to the greatest extent." Zhao Yi said that according to the plan, customers’ reserve funds will be deposited in the special deposit account of the central bank for centralized custody, and it is expected that the phenomenon that payment institutions only focus on increasing the scale of reserve funds and endangering the safety of consumers’ funds will be curbed.

　　"The centralized depository system introduced by the central bank is not only for the need to protect the safety of customers’ funds of third-party payment institutions, but also based on the basic principles of financial supervision, which brings all kinds of’ innovations’ carried out by payment institutions based on customers’ reserve funds into a more prudent supervision category." Zhao Wei said.

　　There is a big platform behind the "small wallet", and future funds may be transferred between various "wallets"

　　"Some time ago, the typhoon Mangosteen hit Shenzhen. At that time, I was hiding at home and could only pass the time by online shopping. " Liu Xiaohui, who works in Shenzhen, said, "I placed a few orders with my mobile phone. I thought that the typhoon was coming and the payment would be affected. I didn’t expect it to be as smooth as usual."

　　The ability of "disaster tolerance" is greatly enhanced, which is one of the characteristics of the network. Using the distributed cloud architecture system, Networked has established six data centers in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Compared with the traditional "two places and three centers" architecture, the six data centers of Networked Network provide services to the outside world at the same time and back up each other, which means that any one of the computer rooms has a major failure, and other computer rooms can still provide services smoothly. "When Typhoon Mangosteen hit Shenzhen, we switched the business of Shenzhen data center to other cities in advance, so customer transactions were not affected at all." The relevant person in charge of the network introduced.

　　"The network signal of the supermarket downstairs in our house is not good. Every time I have to pay for something after I buy it, I have a special headache. I don’t know if I have paid successfully." Wu Lifang, who works in Shanghai, said. As payment and clearing involves information transmission between systems of different market participants, it is inevitable that there will be abnormal situations, such as the payment institution prompting consumers that the transaction failed, but the bank has actually deducted money.

　　"We invited payment institutions and bank personnel to jointly design an automatic reversal solution, which achieved full coverage of all national commercial banks. Take ICBC as an example. For a transaction paid by agreement, if Networked fails to get the result returned by ICBC within the agreed closing time, the final state of the transaction is determined as’ presumed failure’, and Networked will send the final notice to ICBC; If it is found that the deduction has been made, the ICBC system will directly correct it according to this notice, and the deducted money will be immediately returned to the consumer account, and the consumer can pay again. " The relevant person in charge of the network said.

　　"If the clearing technology can’t keep up, it will be difficult for payment institutions to carry out business innovation on the client side, and the emergence of network connection has a decisive impact on the reform of third-party payment business model." Zhao Wei said that the primary task of the network now is to continue to promote the "broken direct connection" and prevent and resolve various risks brought by the "direct connection" model. While doing a good job of auxiliary supervision, the future network can consider using its own advantages to become a platform to support the innovation and development of the payment industry and make people’s e-wallets safer and better to use.

　　Zhao Wei introduced that a fast payment system called "Fast Revolution" was launched in Hong Kong in September this year. The highlight was the mutual transfer between Octopus, Alipay and Tenpay. "The establishment of the network link will help promote interoperability across payment platforms and guide the coordinated development of non-bank and bank payment systems. After accessing the network, there is no obstacle to the mutual transfer of accounts between payment institutions at the technical level. Whether and when it can be landed requires the efforts and promotion of all parties. " Zhao Wei said. (Reporter Ge Mengchao)

　　CCTV News:According to the website of Beijing Market Supervision Bureau, recently, an administrative penalty decision issued by Beijing Market Supervision Bureau showed that Beijing Paradise Xianghe Funeral Service Co., Ltd., which had provided funeral services for the mortuaries of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University and Beijing Electric Power Hospital, was confiscated of illegal income of 1.09 million yuan and fined 5.65 million yuan.

　　In April, 2022, the funeral service outsourcing company in the mortuary of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University charged a "sky-high funeral fee of more than 38,000 yuan", which attracted much attention. The Third Hospital of Peking University issued a statement on April 11th, saying that a special team was set up to actively cooperate with relevant government departments to conduct in-depth investigation and resolutely rectify as required.

　　According to Xinhua News Agency, on-the-spot inspection by Beijing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau and Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission found that Beijing Paradise Xianghe Funeral Service Co., Ltd., a company involved in the case, was suspected of illegal acts such as unclear pricing, non-implementation of government pricing, and unauthorized storage of remains. The Beijing Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau intends to confiscate the illegal income of the company and impose a heavier punishment. The Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University has the problem of failing to supervise outsourcing companies. Beijing has launched a comprehensive investigation on the outsourcing of hospital morgues in the city, and will study and formulate policies and measures to improve the management services of hospital morgues.

1The appearance has not changed much.

On March 11, 2024, Beijing time, the mid-term facelift Porsche Taycan was officially unveiled at the Porsche Experience Center in Shanghai. This is not just a domestic debut, but a globally synchronized launch event. We will take you today to see what is the difference between this car and the old model. Let’s start with the conclusion: in fact, the appearance has not changed much, the main change is internal!

There are seven models in this debut. I thought the price would be announced, but in fact it wasn’t. The specific price will be announced at the Beijing Auto Show. If you ask me how it is different from the old model? To be honest, it may not be obvious for a while, but the picture below may show more clearly what the difference is.

The model that came to the premiere today is a European-sized Turbo S model, which may be different from the models officially sold in China. The mid-term facelifted Porsche Taycan is still familiar to us, mainly upgraded in details, most obviously in the front part.

The front surround of the Turbo S series is a little different from the previous one, which is also the exclusive shape design of the Turbo family. Do you like it? Personally, I think it is sharper and the aerodynamics are better.

The headlight group is a newly designed lamp group using HD Matrix (high definition matrix) technology. The interior has a pixel array of more than 32,000 LED light sources. The lighting area and lighting brightness can be selected according to real-time road conditions. For example, when facing a passing car at night, the headlights can turn off some LED pixels to prevent direct exposure to the driver’s eyes. This technology can significantly improve the safety of night driving. The range of the high beam can exceed 600 meters. In addition, the air inlet shape of the front face of the new car has also been adjusted, and the aerodynamic effect is even better.

The other parts didn’t change much. Open the front trunk cover, and there is still an 81L storage space below. Not big, but enough!

The side lines of the car have not changed, and it is still a familiar formula. However, the wheel shape of the Turbonite color scheme makes people feel like a modified wheel, which is very beautiful and sexy. The official said that the new wheel has increased the battery life by up to 40 kilometers (under WLTP conditions). In addition, the brake system configuration of the Turbo family has also been upgraded, and it comes standard with PSCB or PCCB.

The charging port on the side of the car leaks the fact that it is a European car. So the real model you see today may be a little different from the official model.

The rear of the car has not changed much, and the shape of the surrounding sides has also changed. This shape also inherits the consistent characteristics of Porsche cars. Although it is a popular through-taillight design today, it is still very family-recognizable.

From the table below, you can see some special configurations of the Turbo model. On the next page, we will enter the car to see what the interior of the new model looks like. It is worth mentioning that the mid-term replacement Porsche Taycan has also made great efforts in lightweight, whether it is the body material or the motor, so the weight of the whole vehicle has been reduced by 15kg.

2 The interior has also changed little, with a focus on the mechanical parts

The interior shape has not changed significantly from before, and it is more reflected in materials, functions, etc. Specifically, the mid-term replacement Taycan will provide a new two-color interior for consumers to choose from. The interior material adds door soft package material for the door. Not only that, but also wireless charging is provided in the car.

The new car has been redesigned for the function display of the in-car instrument. The electronic instrument can display information such as the current charging power of the vehicle and the maximum power supply provided by the infrastructure. In terms of car-machine functions, Apple CarPlay + has been added for the car-machine interconnection. In addition, for the passenger display, a private viewing mode has been added.

In terms of safety configuration, the mid-term replacement Taycan has been upgraded for the assisted driving system, with standard configuration such as reversing image, lane change assistance, traffic congestion assistance, 3D environment simulation display, etc. The other parts have not changed, including the ride space, glass roof, etc. It is still business as usual.

When it comes to air conditioning, the new Taycan has been optimized for the air conditioning system, improving the efficiency of both air conditioning and heating.

针对底盘方面，此次该车最大的升级无疑是拥有与保时捷Panamera相同的底盘悬架系统。从此前的三腔室的空气悬架变成了双阀门减振器的双腔空气悬架，可以实现更快、更灵敏的响应速度以及更高的舒适度。

至于这辆车最大的进化在于平常我们看不到的地方，像是更高的功率，以及升级的电池组。中期改款Taycan整车电池最大充电电流提升了20%，电池重量减少了9kg，总能量密度（高压电池）提升了13%。

此外，新车针对电机也进行了升级，据悉电机重量减少了10kg。动力参数方面，新款Taycan基础版车型最大功率300kW，0-100km/h加速时间4.8s，WLTP工况最高续航678km；新款Taycan Turbo S车型最大功率700kW（超增压模式），0-100km/h加速时间2.4s，WLTP工况最高续航630km。

此次保时捷Taycan也加强在充电方面的体验，官方数据显示，其车辆峰值充电功率可达320kW，仅需18分钟即可从10%快充至80%。配合可靠的热管理系统，在低温环境中的充电时间缩短近一半。另外，保时捷还将提供一些定制化的充电功能，如显示充电站点的开放时间和充电详情等。即使驾驶员不在Taycan车内，凭借My Porsche应用程序也可实现行程规划，如通过App规划充电站点路线并发送至车辆上，并且根据驾驶员实际需求设定出发时间等。

全文总结：

虽然外观改动并不是非常大，但是机械层面的变化可是非常巨大。新款车型有下面四个特色：

● 更高：充电速度增加50kW，最高可达320kW。超过300kW的充电速度可持续长达5分钟，即使在低温下充电性能也不会受到太大影响。

● 较高车速的动能回收最高可达400kW（原为290kW），绝对不浪费一分能源！

● Faster: 0-100km/h can be improved by up to 0.6 seconds. The Taycan Turbo S only takes 2.4 seconds.

Range increased by 35% to a maximum of 678km (WLTP). All Taycan models can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes!

In addition, some configuration information and after-sales information of the Taycan Cross Turisom model were also announced at the launch site, as follows:

This world premiere also lifted the mystery of the Turbo GT model. Compared with the Turbo S, the Turbo GT increased its speed by 25km/h compared to the Turbo S on the Schwedenkreuz section, and the lap speed increased by 26 seconds, which is equivalent to a distance of 1.3km, which means that the taillights can’t even be seen. I don’t know how many Porsche fans will be haunted by this car when it is officially released? How long will it take to pick up the car?

Although the Chinese mainland has not announced the specific price, but the Taiwan region of China has announced the price of the car series, maybe you can calculate the price of the official listing from the price on the other side.

● Turbo GT, Turbo GT Weissach kit models are priced from NT 10.48 million (approximately 2.3961 million RMB).

● The price of the Turbo S model starts at NT $9.25 million (approximately 2.1148 million RMB), which is 810,000 NT $ (approximately 185,100 RMB) higher than the 8.44 million NT $ (1.9297 million RMB) of the 2023 model.

● The price of the Turbo model starts at NT $7.68 million (about 1.7559 million RMB), which is 650,000 NT $ (about 148,600 RMB) higher than the 7.03 million NT $ (1.6073 million RMB) of the 2023 model.

For reference, the price of the 2022 Turbo and Turbo S models in the Chinese mainland market is 1.518 million/1.818 million respectively. It seems that the price increase should be inevitable, obviously, the performance has to pay the price!

The recent recall of Tesla was interpreted by many people as that the relevant departments may be preparing for the release of the FSD (fully automatic driving function) that Tesla is proud of in China.

At present, Tesla has not opened FSD in China. Previously, there have been many rumors that Tesla FSD will be released in China. Chu Ruisong, general manager of Baidu Smart Car Division, believes that FSD will enter the China market this year or next year, and it will be opened on a large scale in 2025. Recently, more "signs" show that FSD will enter the China market this year. A few days ago, the relevant person in charge of the Intelligent Manufacturing Promotion Department of the Shanghai Economic and Information Committee introduced that in the next stage, Shanghai will further deepen its cooperation with Tesla and promote the layout of functional sectors such as autonomous driving and robots in Shanghai.

If this catfish, which represents the intelligence of automobiles, is really introduced into the China market, can it produce the catfish effect again?

Before answering this question, it is necessary for us to discuss: Is FSD the benchmark of the autonomous driving industry, or is it simply drawing cakes?

The argument has never stopped, and the real reason lies in "value for money"

The controversy surrounding FSD begins with its name.

Tesla FSD literally means Full Self-Drive, which is actually an upgraded version of the automatic assisted driving function. FSD is not installed on the vehicle to realize fully automatic driving, but it can be realized through wireless software update later. FSD is a fully automatic driving option launched by Tesla. Compared with the Autopilot function of Tesla’s current loading application, the function of FSD is more advanced, and it can realize the functional requirements such as automatic parking, automatic lane change assistance, traffic signal light recognition and automatic response, intelligent call of parking lot, etc., and can realize the "automatic driving" function through software subscription.

With the advent of FSD, American consumers have been questioning it constantly, and relevant departments in the United States have also investigated it many times.

Perhaps it is more convincing to use the exaggeration of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in an interview with CNN recently: "If you want artificial intelligence to make mistakes and get a lot of claims, you will try to kill you every chance, then you can buy a Tesla."

Then, since everyone is an assisted driver, apart from the name dispute, why are other models not as controversial as Tesla?

In addition to Tesla’s large number of vehicles and intelligent driving function is its main selling point, to put it bluntly, it is still a question of money. Tesla FSD is available as an option, and the autopilot subscription was released in the United States last year. The business model of Tesla’s automobile business further extends from sales revenue. Through the software charging model, a car can contribute revenue to the company throughout its life cycle, and FSD is the company’s most important payment software.

Do you understand? If you charge a lot of money, you must accept the responsibility of consumers to be more picky.

Is FSD the "ceiling" of domestic autonomous driving?

In the automotive industry, Tesla first applied Transformer to the intelligent driving of production vehicles, one to two years earlier than other companies. Transformer is a neural network model that makes the whole AI industry boil (Transformers). Prior to this, the perceptual algorithm module of assisted driving mainly ran convolutional neural network CNN. In 2022, Tesla launched an Occupancy Network that can detect general obstacles at the new AI Day.

In short, the advantage of Tesla scheme is that it can make judgments and decisions faster without relying on high-precision maps. The core idea of evolution is to be faster and more accurate.

Tesla’s system will hardly be "broken". Many testers’ videos on the network are shot in complex urban road scenes. Some road conditions are as complicated as big cities in China, but it is obvious that Tesla FSD has made progress.

At present, many independent brands have realized the functions of automatic lane change, automatic overtaking and automatic on-off ramp, and the whole driving process is very coherent. The two are different in implementation. Tesla has always advocated the vision radar scheme, while the current mainstream practice of independent brands is to achieve high-order driving assistance through laser radar and high-precision maps. At the same time, these car companies will also cooperate with visual radar and millimeter-wave radar to make up for some scenes that lidar can’t cope with. However, because it relies heavily on high-precision maps, the high-order driving assistance function will not be realized after losing high-precision maps.

In order to get rid of the heavy dependence on maps, companies such as Ideality, Tucki and Huawei have begun to actively develop high-level driver assistance functions with heavy perception. From this point of view, these companies have more or less defaulted to Tesla’s "master" role.

According to the latest news released by BYD, the new head of BYD’s intelligent driving is in place, directly aiming at the high-end high-speed navigation function and "benchmarking" the Tesla FSD experience. The high-speed NOA, the first product after the adjustment of BYD’s intelligent driving system, is said to be mass-produced and listed this year. The most important thing is the core algorithm, which is developed by BYD, not purchased.

FSD, once again as a catfish?

Once upon a time, Tesla, as a new energy vehicle, was introduced into the relatively closed traditional automobile market in China. As a result, with the policy blessing, the deduction of various kinds of capital and the change of consumers’ concept, no one could have imagined that this catfish would make new car-making forces rise one after another, and the penetration rate of the new energy vehicle market increased by leaps and bounds, which even caused great changes in the automobile industry in China and the world.

Nowadays, autonomous driving is facing a dilemma: L4-level autonomous driving is far away, and many enterprises that originally specialized in L4-level autonomous driving began to descend to L2 or L2+.

The reporter believes that if the government wants to find an opportunity to "break the game" in the field of automobile intelligence, re-find the power point and make autonomous driving accepted by ordinary consumers faster, it is a good way to let Tesla FSD "catfish" enter the market as soon as possible.

However, the problem is that it is difficult for Tesla’s FSD to regain the glorious course of Tesla’s first entry into the China market. There are three main reasons: First, when the new energy vehicles represented by Tesla just emerged, the sound of optimism was basically higher than that of pessimism around the world. I remember that in addition to the energy crisis at that time, many people bought Tesla new energy vehicles, which represented a fashion life attitude and a public interest in environmental protection. At present, FSD has been questioned all over the world.

Second, the development of new energy vehicles can be said to be promoted by the full policies of governments in various countries, especially in China, which has great support and the most outstanding achievements. However, at present, due to regulatory difficulties in autonomous driving, governments of various countries have different attitudes, and China may gradually encounter regulatory difficulties with the rapid growth of the number of consumers participating in autonomous driving applications.

Third, in terms of technology, capital and even regulations, can Tesla’s FSD really make people abandon painting cakes?

Painting cakes? Still have enough tolerance for it.

The research and development cycle is long, it is difficult to land, and the return is far away … Autopilot companies and their shareholders have to re-examine the benefits behind them. Especially in the context of economic downturn, limited supply chain and rising raw material prices.

Doug Field, Ford’s chief senior product development and technology officer, said that it is "more difficult than landing on the moon" to achieve autonomous driving in a dense urban environment. Wang Chuanfu, the boss of BYD, said: "Now the so-called’ automatic driving’ is held hostage by capital. I think that at the end of the development of autonomous driving, at most,’ advanced assisted driving’ can be achieved, and that’s all. When you are sleepy and reading short messages, reduce the probability of accidents. There will definitely be accidents and injuries, but the responsibility must always be borne by the owner himself. "

Transformer has rigid requirements on data size. If the data size does not meet the requirements, the performance will be worse than CNN. Therefore, the premise of switching to Transformer is that enough data can be obtained to feed it.

In this regard, Tesla has greater advantages as a car company with a high number of intelligent vehicles, but this is only the beginning. Because it is one thing to collect more and higher quality data, it is another to use them to train a strong enough model. Training a large model of massive parameters in massive data requires a lot of computing power, and only a large cloud computing center can be competent.

In 2022, in order to occupy the network for training, Tesla used 1.44 billion frames of video data, with a data volume of more than 30PB, and its self-developed DOJO supercomputer is still in the development state.

Moreover, at present, almost all chip factories provide smart driving chips on the car side, which are not prepared for Transformer.

It is a fact that even the breakthroughs such as Transformer, BEV and occupied network, which make the industry chase after each other, are still mainly solving the perception problem of intelligent driving vehicles, and there are still difficult decision/regulation links in the complete intelligent driving technology framework.

From the data, computing power, chips to the legal level, we can roughly draw the conclusion that even if it is as strong as Tesla, it is obviously painting a cake if we want to realize the true FSD (full automatic driving L5 level), and what we can do at present can only be an infinite "+"after L2 level.

Of course, it may also bring about the final change, but I don’t know the specific time.

For consumers, on the premise of ensuring safety, an infinite plus sign after L2 level means a better consumer experience.

The question is, how many enterprises can wait in the face of the journey with no end in sight? Do they really need to cope with this competition?

On January 14th, Li Kuiwen, spokesman of the General Administration of Customs, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that in 2018, China’s foreign trade was generally stable, with steady progress, and the import and export scale reached a record high, exceeding 30 trillion yuan, which is expected to continue to maintain its position as the largest country in the world trade in goods. In 2019, it is expected that China’s foreign trade development will be improved steadily, and the quality and efficiency will be further improved.

There are 470,000 enterprises with import and export achievements.

According to the data released by the General Administration of Customs on January 14th, in 2018, the total import and export value of China’s foreign trade was 30.51 trillion yuan, an increase of 9.7% over 2017. Among them, the export was 16.42 trillion yuan, up by 7.1%; Imports reached 14.09 trillion yuan, up by 12.9%; The trade surplus was 2.33 trillion yuan, narrowing by 18.3%.

"In 2018, China’s foreign trade achieved steady growth, which led to a new historical high in import and export scale and further improved quality and efficiency." Li Kuiwen introduced.

Specifically, China’s foreign trade development showed five highlights last year.

The business environment is "good" Last year, China successively introduced a series of policies and measures to reduce taxes and fees and optimize the business environment at ports, and the level of trade facilitation was significantly improved. According to the "Business Environment Report 2019" released by the World Bank, China’s state-owned business environment has improved by 32 places as a whole.

There are many foreign trade enterprises. In 2018, the number of enterprises with import and export performance increased from 436,000 in 2017 to 470,000, and the vitality of market players was further enhanced.

Trading partners are "wide". In 2018, the diversification of China’s foreign trade market made positive progress. The growth rate of China’s imports and exports with countries along the Belt and Road, Africa and Latin America was 3.6, 6.7 and 6 percentage points higher than the overall.

The growth momentum is "strong". According to the preliminary calculation of the customs, China’s import quantity index is 106.4, and the export quantity index is 103.6, and the contribution of quantity to imports and exports exceeds 50%, so the growth momentum of foreign trade import and export is more solid.

Quality and benefit are "excellent". Mainly reflected in the more balanced import and export, more coordinated regional development, and more optimized product structure. From the product point of view, the export of some high value-added mechanical and electrical products and equipment manufacturing products maintained a good growth trend, such as metal processing machine tools increased by 19.2%, mobile phones increased by 9.8% and automobiles increased by 8.3%; Imports of high-quality consumer goods of some important equipment and key components also maintained rapid growth, such as integrated circuits increased by 16.9% and consumer goods increased by 10.9%, among which aquatic products increased by 39.9%.

Private enterprises contribute more than 50% to foreign trade growth.

With the steady growth of foreign trade, the contribution of private enterprises can not be ignored. Li Kuiwen introduced that in 2018, there were 372,000 private enterprises with import and export performance in China, an increase of 10.7% over 2017, and more private enterprises participated in import and export activities. In terms of scale, the contribution of private enterprises to China’s foreign trade growth in that year exceeded 50%, and the pulling effect on foreign trade development was more prominent.

According to data from the General Administration of Customs, in 2018, the import and export of private enterprises in China was 12.1 trillion yuan, up 12.9%, accounting for 39.7% of China’s total import and export value, up 1.1 percentage points from 2017. Among them, exports amounted to 7.87 trillion yuan, up by 10.4%, accounting for 48% of the total export value, and the proportion increased by 1.4 percentage points, maintaining its position as the largest export subject; Imports reached 4.23 trillion yuan, up by 18.1%.

In terms of regional distribution, private enterprises have achieved echelon development. In 2018, the import and export growth rate of private enterprises in the central, western and northeastern regions reached 20.3%, 18.9% and 16.7%, respectively, which was higher than that in the eastern region (12.1%), showing a step-by-step development trend and achieving double-digit growth.

Li Kuiwen said that in supporting private enterprises, the customs has successively introduced a series of measures: First, it has launched a pilot program of tariff guarantee insurance. Encourage small and medium-sized enterprises to innovate, and exempt import tax on qualified public service demonstration platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises and related scientific research and technological development supplies. The second is to promote the reform of "multi-reporting in one". The third is to serve private enterprises to "go global". At present, China Customs has achieved mutual recognition of "AEO" with 36 countries and regions, and supported private enterprises to enjoy various convenient measures provided by local customs.

The development of foreign trade is expected to improve quality steadily this year.

What are the hidden worries in foreign trade in 2019? What is the trend of China’s import and export?

Li Kuiwen believes that the biggest worry of China’s foreign trade development in 2019 is that the external environment is complex and severe, and there are still many uncertain and unstable factors. Some countries are on the rise of protectionism and unilateralism, world economic growth may slow down, and cross-border trade and investment may be dragged down.

"Generally speaking, the long-term stable and positive development momentum of China’s domestic economy has not changed. The central government has also introduced a series of policies and measures to stabilize foreign investment and foreign trade, and its effects are gradually emerging, laying a solid policy foundation for the development of foreign trade this year. At the same time, the external environment is still complicated and severe, and there are still many uncertain and unstable factors. Coupled with objective factors such as the increase in the base, the growth rate of foreign trade may slow down. " Li Kuiwen said.

Zhong Shan, Minister of Commerce, pointed out a few days ago that this year, in the face of the complicated and ever-changing international environment, we should conscientiously implement the action plan of strengthening trade countries and promote the "stability and quality improvement" of foreign trade: First, we should further promote the "five optimizations". Optimize the international market layout, domestic regional layout, commodity structure, business entities and trade methods. The second is to do a good job in the "three constructions", build a foreign trade transformation and upgrading base, support the construction of international marketing service networks, and promote the construction of trade promotion platforms such as overseas brand exhibitions. The third is to develop service trade, popularize 29 experiences of pilot innovation and development of service trade, build export bases of special services such as digital services and traditional Chinese medicine, and improve the development level of service trade.

"We believe that with China’s further opening up and the deepening of supply-side structural reforms, it is expected that China’s foreign trade development will be steadily improved this year, and its quality and efficiency will be further improved." Li Kuiwen said. (Reporter Qiu Haifeng)

　　On February 15th, New Year’s Eve, China’s annual flavor is fragrant all over the world. While many Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival, many overseas media have also turned their attention to this important festival.

　　Chinese set foot on his way home.

　　On February 14th, Forbes biweekly website published an article entitled "China New Year: the largest migration of people in the world", saying that China will celebrate the beginning of the Lunar New Year on Friday. The Lunar New Year is also known as the Spring Festival. To commemorate this festival, the whole of China took a vacation together, which resulted in the largest human activity on earth.

　　According to the article, according to China media reports, in order to celebrate the coming of the Year of the Dog, it is estimated that hundreds of millions of Chinese will leave big cities to visit their relatives in their hometowns.

　　According to the article, with the steady expansion of China’s high-speed rail network, for the first time, the number of people taking high-speed trains exceeded the number of people taking ordinary trains. Comparing the Spring Festival in China with the largest annual population movement in the United States is a good way to measure its huge scale. On Thanksgiving Day in 2017, airports in the United States were crowded with people and interstate highways were blocked. However, during Spring Festival travel rush, the scale of population movement in China was several times that of the United States.

　　According to a report on the website of Forbes biweekly on February 13th, China’s Ministry of Transport predicts that there will be nearly 3 billion trips in Spring Festival travel rush this year.

　　According to the report, China is still a developing country, and most of the trips (up to 80%) are probably by coach, but more and more Spring Festival travel rush tourists will enjoy the comfortable air-conditioned journey brought by China’s world-class high-speed rail network. China’s high-speed rail network has developed from a single demonstration line of 113 kilometers specially built for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to a crisscross line of 25,000 kilometers covering the whole country.

　　According to the report, the China Municipal Government estimates that the Spring Festival travel rush Railway will carry 390 million passengers this year, of which 57.5% will take the high-speed rail. Taking high-speed rail is much cheaper than flying, and it is faster and safer than traditional road and railway transportation.

　　High-tech brings new year customs.

　　On February 14th, the website of Time magazine published an article entitled "How to Keep Good Luck in China New Year", saying that with the rapid approach of the Lunar New Year, many Chinese are maximizing their prosperity in the coming year — — That is, good luck everywhere — — The opportunity. The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most grand festival in China.

　　According to the article, the dog is one of the twelve zodiac animals in China. People born in the year of the dog are considered loyal, upright and selfless. If you want to keep good luck this year, please follow these China New Year traditions:

　　Give your residence a general cleaning: make sure to finish cleaning before the first day of the new year, because according to the ancient folk custom, cleaning during the festival will bring bad luck.

　　Hang red lanterns: hang red lanterns at the entrance of your home, paste red decorations on the walls, and wear red clothes for good luck.

　　Distribute red envelopes: Be sure to observe certain red envelope etiquette — — Red envelopes are usually issued by married people or employers. New banknotes should be placed in red envelopes, and the total amount should be even, and there must be no amount including the number 4, because the pronunciation of 4 in Chinese is close to the word "death".

　　Setting off fireworks: This is a New Year tradition in China dating back thousands of years. In China folklore, firecrackers are used to drive away the evil beast named Nian. On the first day of the new year, this evil beast will bring havoc to the village.

　　Enjoy a feast with your family: Perhaps the most important part of China’s New Year is spending time with your family. One of the most important is the New Year’s dinner, also known as the "reunion dinner". Some dishes are eaten because of their symbolic meanings, and some of them are part of thousands of years-old traditions. Although different families and different regions have their own traditions, some dishes are considered essential. Fish has become an important role on the reunion dinner table because it symbolizes wealth. Spring rolls also symbolize prosperity, because their appearance is imaginatively thought to be similar to small gold bars.

　　According to a report on the website of Bloomberg News on February 14th, in many ways, the Lunar New Year holiday in China is like combining Thanksgiving, Christmas and Independence Day in the United States. Although it has been celebrated for thousands of years, this festival is still influenced by the rise of science and technology and its rapidly changing society and economy in China.

　　According to the report, the most obvious change is the evolution of red envelopes. The traditional way of giving out red envelopes is to send red envelopes with cash to children. But the electronic payment revolution in China has shifted this practice to online. The "virtual" red envelopes introduced by China technology giants a few years ago have become popular. During the New Year holiday last year, the number of electronic red-envelope sent and received through WeChat reached 46 billion, equivalent to 33 red envelopes sent and received by everyone in China. This is a faster way to complete the tradition of giving red envelopes in the New Year.

　　The number of outbound tourists has reached a record high

　　According to a report in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on February 15th, china tourism academy predicted that the number of outbound tourists from Chinese during the Spring Festival would reach 6.5 million, a record high. Due to the appreciation of RMB this year, outbound travel will be more cost-effective.

　　According to the article, Thailand is still the first choice for tourists from China, and Japan ranks second. As a cold resort, Phuket, Thailand is very popular. From Asia, Northern Europe, Canada to Antarctica, China tourists have traveled all over the world.

　　According to a report on the website of Bloomberg News on February 14th, this month, 6.5 million people in Chinese will go abroad for the Lunar New Year holiday. They will bring luggage and smart phones, and hope to enjoy the same technical convenience that they have become accustomed to in China. Mobile payment based on smart phone is very popular in China.　

　　According to the report, China tourists can of course use cash and credit cards overseas, but it is much more convenient to use the domestic payment system connected with bank accounts.

　　In addition, according to the report of the Associated Press on February 15th, in recent years, more and more Chinese traveled abroad during the New Year, which reflected the growing prosperity of the urban middle class. According to a report jointly released by Ctrip.com and china tourism academy, it is estimated that more than 6.5 million people will travel abroad during the Spring Festival this year. Travelers have booked flights to more than 68 countries and regions, among which Thailand, Japan, United Arab Emirates and Nordic countries are among the top destinations. According to the report, the per capita transaction price of products for outbound group tours and free travel during the Spring Festival reached 9,500 yuan.

　　According to the report, domestic travel is also very popular. Earlier this month, the National Tourism Administration predicted that this year’s Spring Festival holiday tourism revenue will reach 476 billion yuan.
