1. 收费公路条例修订案征集意见中:你会被多收过路费吗?

    中国收费公路投融资建设、收费管理、养护的整套逻辑正在重塑之中。

    12月20日交通运输部接连披露了《收费公路管理条例(修订草案)》(以下简称《条例(草案)》)、《公路法修正案(草案)》,开始公开征求意见,两份草案的意见反馈截止时间为2019年1月20日。

    按照两份草案的内容,中国将确立“两条公路体系”,以非收费公路为主,适当发展收费公路。在准入门槛上,要求停止新建收费一二级公路,明确收费公路只能是高速公路;在投融资方面,政府还贷公路转变为政府收费公路,其中差异在于融资方式从贷款转变为专项债。此外,收费制度也出现变动,最值得关注的两点在于:一是建立差异化收费、收费标准动态评估机制;二是建立偿债期(经营期)收费和养护期收费“两期收费”制度。

  2. 日产做回“技术宅”

    20 年研发,全球首款量产的可变压缩比发动机,这是如今日产做到的,是曾经萨博、标致等没能做到的。

    它有一个直观的名字 VC-TURBO,VC 代表 Variable Compression 可变压缩,TURBO 意指涡轮增压。今年早些时候,VC-TURBO 发动机随英菲尼迪 QX50 落户东风日产郑州工厂,现在又搭载于刚刚上市的日产第七代天籁(Altima),杀入更广阔也更激烈的中级车市场。

  3. 深入了解IPO前的Uber

    动态定价(Dynamic Pricing)创造流动性,成为了Uber商业模式的核心支柱之一。

    动态定价虽然有时会吓跑乘客,但它可以帮助Uber以最佳的供应水平满足波动的需求水平。在供应不足的情况下提高价格,仍然可以保证路上有足够的司机再跑,而乘客可以很快上车。

    除了增加对高需求区域的供应外,动态定价还有助于控制客户的需求,因为那些不愿意支付更高价格的人会找到其他交通工具,而其他人则会为这一需求付出代价。

    由于动态定价,Uber还可以继续雇佣工作时间灵活的承包商,而不是设定固定时间的车程——这对于降低成本直观重要,同时也为了不断重建其高速流失的员工群体。

    Uber对未来收入预期包括两方面:一是其他形式的交通工具,如小型摩托车,作为出行工具,它可以带你去任何地方;二是自动驾驶车辆。

  4. 两个月内三次降价,特斯拉在中国加速发力了?

    特斯拉的上次降价是他们在第一时间对中国降低进口关税作出的反应。当天稍早,中国宣布从2019年1月1日起,对原产于美国的汽车及零部件暂停加征关税3个月。在那之前,进口到中国的汽车需要加征40%的关税。

    如果说第二次降价是对关税的反应,那么第一次降价的起因则来自市场:在那次降价前夕,全国乘用车市场信息联席会的数据显示,2018年第三季度特斯拉在华销量为3169辆,同比大降37%,10月的销量只有211辆,同比暴跌70%。

  5. 互联网拯救还是拖累了国产车?

    J.D. Power从2000年开始发布中国新车质量研究报告,以PP100(百车故障数)为标准,量化新车的可靠性,算是中国汽车工业20年崛起历程的见证者,如果长时间观察他们的榜单,可以发现三个事实。

    第一,新能源车的可靠性远比传统燃油车要低,今年中国新车质量报告就显示,新能源车的PP100达到141,大大超过了传统燃油车的105。

    第二,中国新车质量逐年提高的势头中断了,大量互联网新功能降低了汽车的可靠性,2016年中国新车的PP100是102,去年是103,今年达到105。

    第三,自主品牌与国际品牌的质量差距连续7年收窄之后再度扩大了,由于自主品牌更愿意使用未经验证的新技术,导致可靠性上大幅落后于国际品牌。

    拿到沃尔沃和丰田研究所的订单后,激光雷达技术公司Luminar近日又拿到了奥迪的offer。

    近日,Luminar公司与奥迪全资子公司自动智能驾驶公司近日达成合作,双方计划于2021年完全自动驾驶的部署。

    感知识别一直是自动驾驶领域的瓶颈。以往的激光雷达制造商们做出来的系统建模地图仅能显示线条,并无法准确识别具体的障碍物是什么,探测距离为50米左右。

    Luminar公司是一家位于美国加州帕罗奥尔托的创业公司,专门为无人驾驶汽车生产LIDAR传感器和感知软件,是目前少数几家有能力大规模生产激光雷达装置的公司之一,2017年4月获得了来自多家机构超过3600万美元的投资。它还在佛罗里达州奥兰多市建有一家占地3万多平方米的制造工厂。

  11. 36氪独家 国内首批L3级自动驾驶汽车将落地,「奥特贝睿」已与整车厂商达成量产计划

    36氪独家获悉,总部位于北京、成立于 2017 年的自动驾驶技术研发商「奥特贝睿(AutoBrain)」,已与长城汽车确定了 L3 级自动驾驶量产方案——这也是国内首个确定量产的 L3 级别自动驾驶前装。36氪已于近日前往奥特贝睿天津测试基地,体验了这款改装自年销量近 10 万台的长城 WEY VV7 自动驾驶汽车。

    试驾过程中,记者随测试车行驶到了附近的高速公路上,在 100 公里的时速下(最高可保持 120 公里时速),车辆完成了车道保持、自主超车、自动避障、上下匝道等 L3 必备功能,且自动驾驶模式的开启和关闭,可通过多功能方向盘的功能键完成,并附带语音提示。

  12. DON’T ASK WHEN SELF-DRIVING CARS WILL ARRIVE—ASK WHERE

    “We get asked, ‘When are we going to see these cars?’ My answer is, essentially, ‘It depends where you live,’” says Karl Iagnemma, Aptiv’s president of automotive mobility. “If you’re in Vegas today, you see them all over the place. Other cities, it’s going to be a long, long time.”

  13. Can a drunk driver be charged in a self-driving car?

    When the driver of a self-driving Tesla Model S didn’t stop after police put on their lights and sirens, the police realized that he was passed out at the wheel, which was traveling 70 miles an hour.

    Police pulled in front of the vehicle and then slowed down to an eventual stop, causing the Tesla to come to a stop. So can the guy sitting in the driver’s seat be charged with drunk driving if the car is driving itself?

    You betcha. Drunk driving laws say a person can be charged with drunk driving if he is in control of the vehicle while under the influence. He doesn’t have to be driving, which is why police regularly arrest people who are passed out in their cars with the keys in the ignition.

    No matter how good technology gets, there’s only so much you can do to prevent people from doing stupid and dangerous things behind a wheel, except to remind them that they’ll still face penalties.

    根据罗兰贝格发布的《中国汽车后市场供应链白皮书》显示,中国汽车零配件后市场总规模已经由2011年的1900亿元成长到2018年超过6000亿元的体量,预计到2022年市场整体规模将超过8000亿元。

    而据工商资料显示,我国汽配经销商达到50万家左右,下游服务商达到100万家左右,上游生产商达到20万家左右。汽配产业链冗杂,包括上游零部件制造商、中游分销端、和下游汽车4s店/维修厂等,这其中的痛点包括零整比高、流转效率低、信息不对称、市场分散等。自2014年起,政府便一直致力于打破汽车配件垄断,出台汽配市场反垄断政策,开放汽配市场流通的第三方渠道。能在赛道中切到一块蛋糕收益已经非常可观。

    36氪最近接触的凡越供应链集团,是一家定位为中国汽车后市场零配件流通的基础设施服务商。目前为汽配贸易商,修理厂,货车主等提供“物流+金融+车服 ”的深度纵向服务。

    哈啰的故事已经被讲过无数遍。摩拜和ofo在北上广深打得火热的时候,它选择默默布局二三线城市,避开沙场上的正面竞争,而后逆势起飞。

    当然,哈啰起飞的翅膀,是阿里和蚂蚁金服给的。蚂蚁金服投资哈啰之后,不管是支付宝的入口,还是免押金的政策,都越来越多地体现着阿里的意志,哈啰已经变成了支付宝布局线下支付场景的一个无比好用的工具。

    试探起自己的边界,哈啰自然还得小心翼翼。因为对于网约车领域来说,2019年将是网约车领域野蛮生长之后,受到约束和监管力度最大的一年。滴滴的顺风车业务还在无限期下线中,美团的网约车业务已经也划上了休止符。

    同时现阶段,对于网约车的发展方向和盈利模式,也还没有人能给出最优解,哈啰出行的网约车业务能做到什么程度,依然有待观望。

  21. 36氪专访 停简单CEO柳文超:产业互联网东风来袭,停车商业模式将如何进化

    我原先在担任一家传统停车管理公司高管的期间,发现仅仅依靠科学的管理方法和制度去管理一个劳动密集型的企业,是无法从根源上解决停车场运营高成本低效率的问题的。但是在逐渐探索的过程中,我们发现,借助互联网技术的智慧停车平台,能够解决停车行业的三大痛点。

    1.实现对稀缺停车资源的有效配置。我国近20年城镇化进程的快速推进和对车位规划考虑不足,造成了非常大的供需矛盾,短期内很难通过车位增量来解决停车难问题。而互联网技术一方面可以把碎片化的停车资源连接起来,提高车位和车主的供需匹配效率;另一方面可以把车主连接起来,实现停车位共享,盘活闲置的停车资源。

    2.大幅提升停车场管理效率。我们通过智能化和互联网化改造,减少人员配置,减少停车费的偷漏现象,还能为车主提供诸如车位预订、反向寻车等高附加值服务。

    3.推动全行业商业模式的提升。互联网技术和生态合作的理念,能够推进资源要素的重组和价值发现,进而完成停车产业链全局的升级。

    As of September, it had 70 autonomous driving vehicles on the road. To put that in comparison, Audi’s autonomous driving subsidiary, Autonomous Intelligent Driving, has just 12 cars on public roads in Germany.

    Thanks to filings from a criminal investigation against one of its former employees, we also learned that Apple has more than 5,000 employees who are working on or have knowledge of its autonomous driving project. Of that, almost 2,700 of them were considered “core employees” at the time in mid-2018.

  30. Chinese lawmakers suggest planning for self-driving vehicle torts

    BEIJING, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) – Chinese lawmakers have suggested that the country’s legislation take into consideration possible tort liabilities raised by self-driving vehicles, to resolve future disputes.

    Wang Yanmeng, a member of the National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, said at a panel deliberation on a draft section on torts of China’s civil code Wednesday that the draft should plan for defining liabilities in traffic accidents caused by self-driving cars.

    “Given the rapid development of relevant technologies and the market, autonomous cars may hit the streets in the very near future, rendering the existing stipulations on traffic accident torts obsolete,” Wang said.

    Zhou Guangquan, vice chairman of the NPC Constitution and Law Committee, said the legislation needed to respond to the rapid progress of smart society and artificial intelligence.

    Ma Zhiwu, another NPC Standing Committee member, agreed that study and legislation was needed in advance.

    Also at the deliberation, lawmakers suggested more detailed and careful definition of punitive damages for environmental infringement cases, and making law enforcement and procuratorial agencies eligible to demand damages to better deter violations.

    Other suggestions at the deliberation included proper consideration of torts on the Internet environment.

    汽车之家媒体基因纯正。由于互联网广告天花板太低,为谋求更大发展空间,汽车之家一度离开“舒适区”,All in新车自营电商。

    短暂的“疯狂”过后,汽车之家放弃自营,只通过线上平台为第三方卖家提供服务。电商业务收入占比回落到10%一线,若按照2016年之前的算法,这部分收入归属于广告业务。总而言之,放弃自营销售之后的汽车之家仍然是一家纯粹的媒体,广告是唯一的变现模式。

    企业改弦更张,不是领导人换了思想就是换了领导人。2016年10月,汽车之家宣布创始人李想、秦致退出董事会,由平安信托方面康雁和王俊朗出任新董事。汽车之家从此改姓“平安”。

But today’s extreme pessimism seems as unwarranted as the extreme optimism we saw a year ago. Maybe in 2019, the public will start to develop more realistic expectations for self-driving technology.
