Cultural tourism, garden tourism, national tide tourism, lighting tourism … Holiday "fancy" travel set off a consumption boom.

CCTV News:During the holidays, cultural tourism has become the choice of many tourists. In Beijing, many museums and art galleries have "upgraded" to welcome tourists from all over the world. Come to see the reporter’s visit. 

The reporter came to the exhibition hall of China Art Museum’s labor theme art exhibition, and saw that it covered many categories such as Chinese painting, oil painting and sculpture. At 9: 00 am on May 1, tourists were waiting in line to enter. In the exhibition hall, the reporter found that there were many tourists who came specially from other places. It is expected that the number of tourists here will exceed 30,000 during the May Day holiday.

The reporter learned that this year’s "May Day", tickets for China Art Museum are more sought after than in previous years, and the number of people making appointments during the holiday period is close to the maximum flow.

In the china national film museum, a 3500-square-meter large screen is showing the "dinosaur creative visual art exhibition". The 30-meter-high dinosaur walks by the visitors, and the visual effect is very shocking. In addition to the dinosaur exhibition, there are also exhibitions such as the starry sky exhibition and the deep sea exhibition. Many parents take their children to punch in and take photos, and tourists sit on the floor and experience the fun brought by the exhibition in an immersive way.

Wang Sijia, a staff member of china national film museum Activity Management Department, said that as of April 29th, all the daily reservation places for the first three days of the "May Day" holiday had been filled, which was about 20% higher than the same period last year.

The data shows that during the "May 1" holiday, the overall search popularity of domestic museums increased by 134% month-on-month, and the booking volume increased by nearly 30% compared with the same period of last year. Among them, the Palace Museum, Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum, China National Museum, Shaanxi History Museum, Luoyang Museum, and other tourist search and booking heat is higher.

Suzhou, Jiangsu: The popular scenic spots in the garden are sold out. 

In Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, the garden scenic spots have also ushered in the peak of tourists in the past two days, and the reservations for popular attractions have also been full. A number of local convenience service initiatives have been launched to provide convenience for tourists.

Tickets for the Humble Administrator’s Garden holiday in Wutian Gate have been sold out in advance, and will receive 160,000 tourists, an increase of 10% over the same period last year. In the past few days, the scenic spot has been closed for half an hour every day to meet the needs of tourists, and one-way traffic has been implemented in areas with concentrated traffic to provide tourists with a comfortable sightseeing experience.

In addition, the five-day admission quota of Suzhou Museum has been reserved in advance. During the holidays, a number of special exhibitions in the museum were exhibited at the same time to attract tourists to visit.

In order to cope with the peak of holiday travel, during the May Day holiday, more than 25,000 parking spaces in Suzhou government agencies, enterprises and institutions were opened to tourists free of charge, and toilets were opened to the public to provide warm-hearted services such as hot water, rain gear and storage.

Kaifeng, Henan Province: Scenery reappears in the Song Dynasty, and the ancient customs and national tides attract visitors.

Every holiday, Kaifeng, an ancient capital with a long history, welcomes a large number of tourists from all over the world. When people come here, they can not only feel the rich history and culture, but also experience many ancient customs and folk cultural activities.

In a Song Wenhua-themed park in Kaifeng, Henan Province, as soon as reporters entered the park, they often heard shouts in their ears, and at the same time, all kinds of staff in ancient costumes passed by. Here, you can experience the various customs of life in the Song Dynasty and feel the prosperity of Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the streets and alleys of the park, various folk customs performances such as Quyi and juggling are staged in turn, and the rich angular interaction has become a popular "punch card" object under the lens of many people.

In addition to interactive scene performances, the park also launched a series of large-scale plays, so that tourists can understand the history of the Song Dynasty more intuitively.

At present, the park also brings together traditional imperial Henan cuisine and dozens of flavor snacks, among which the soup-filled steamed buns in Kaifeng are the special food that can’t be missed.

The data shows that in 2024, 1-mdash; In March, the cumulative reception volume of Kaifeng cultural tourism reached 31,677,600 person-times, an increase of 12.49% compared with the same period in 2023, and the cumulative comprehensive income of cultural tourism reached 21.43 billion yuan.

Linhai, Zhejiang: Millennium Taizhou Fucheng is popular, and special snacks are favored. 

In addition to visiting the ancient capital, visiting the ancient city is also a hot spot in the tourism market. You can wear ancient costumes and travel through the Millennium, and you can also taste the most classic local snacks and delicious food. Go to the ancient city of Linhai, Zhejiang immediately and have a look. 

Taizhou Fucheng, located in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province, has a history of more than 1,500 years. Ziyang Street, the most prosperous commercial district in Taizhou Fucheng, still retains the legacy of Song Dynasty and the pattern of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Linhai is known as the snack capital of China, and there are more than 140 kinds of traditional snacks alone.

Many tourists come to Linhai to punch in their cards. The most classic snack here, Egg White Sheep Tail, is called Egg White Sheep Tail because it looks like a sheep tail. As a state banquet dessert, it is the first famous snack to enter China Menu. Beat the egg white prepared in advance into cream, pick up a piece of bean paste or chestnut stuffing, wrap the egg white outside the stuffing, and then fry it in the oil pan. After the pan is out, sprinkle a layer of icing on it and it will be ready.

In addition to "egg white sheep’s tail", there are various snacks such as black rice, white water tofu and seaweed cakes. In Taizhou, which is rich in seaweed, seaweed cake is a special snack here.

According to the latest statistics, on May 1st, the number of tourists in Taizhou Fucheng exceeded 180,000, and it is expected that the number of tourists during the May 1st holiday will exceed 800,000 this year.

Xi ‘an, Shaanxi: The city that never sleeps in Datang is brightly lit and tourists are weaving.

On the first day of the May Day holiday, Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province also ushered in the peak of passenger flow. If the city is a traditional and quaint street fireworks during the day, it will become a dazzling bustling market at night. Let’s take a look at the unique charm of Xi ‘an at night.

The intangible culture is integrated into the tangible experience, which allows tourists to get an immersive travel experience and promote the release of consumption vitality. At 12 o’clock in Chang ‘an, which is located on Datang Pedestrian Street, tourists can put on Tang Dynasty costumes and paint Tang Dynasty makeup. There are thousands of Hanfu experience halls in the whole pedestrian street, so Hanfu dressing and shooting photography have always been an important part of the whole Tang Dynasty business in the neighborhood. The fiery neighborhood has also promoted the prosperity of the surrounding Hanfu industry, which has greatly boosted the local tourism peripheral income.

During the May Day holiday, major scenic spots in Xi ‘an also ushered in the peak of passenger flow. The continuous consumption of cultural tourism in Xi ‘an is not only the fireworks of the city, but also a new driving force for the consumption of cultural tourism. Using the unique atmosphere and cultural accumulation of the night, this Millennium ancient capital makes tourists immersed and intoxicated.

It is understood that there are more than 30 homestays in the local area, and the booking volume of the "May 1" holiday has exceeded 90%.

Call the roll to "contain China" and force many countries to take sides! The US "Chip Act" engages in economic coercion.

  [Global Times correspondent in the United States Ying Chen Global Times reporter Zhao Juekun Ren Zhong] "We will invest in the United States. We will succeed in America. We will win the economic competition in the 21st century in the United States. " After US President Biden finally signed the Chip and Science Act of 2022 into law on August 9, local time, he released this ambitious tweet. While providing huge subsidies to chip manufacturers in the United States, the bill requires these companies to agree not to develop the manufacturing of precision chips in China. It is no wonder that "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" called the promulgation of this bill the warming of the US "science and technology arms race against China". China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin rebuked the so-called "protective measures" in the law on the 10th, showing a strong geopolitical color and "another example of the United States engaging in economic coercion". Although Washington’s China hawks tried to use this bill to strike a "precise blow" to China’s chip industry, few international mainstream media predicted that the United States could win this selfish and arrogant chip war. On the 9th, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) quoted Jin Keyu, a professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science, as saying that he was worried: "I imagine a world divided into two parts, half of which uses China’s information systems and infrastructure, and the other half uses American information systems and infrastructure.Obviously, there will be a huge loss of efficiency. "

  If you want subsidies, you must "exclude China"

  "More than 30 years ago, the United States owned 40% of the global production of chips. Since then, our economic pillar, the American manufacturing industry, has been hollowed out, and we have made chip manufacturing go overseas. " Biden said in a speech when signing the Chip and Science Act on the 9th, "Now, this law has brought the chip back to the United States."

  Biden explicitly mentioned China many times in his speech at the bill signing ceremony. He said, "It is not surprising that the Communist Party of China (CPC) actively lobbied American companies to oppose this bill" and said that the United States "must lead the world in chip production". According to a BBC9 report on the 9th, the current supply of chips in the United States has dropped from 40% of the global supply in 1990 to only 10% of the global share.

  The Nikkei Asian Review said on the 10th that the passage of the "boldest industry legislation in decades" in the United States marked a rare bipartisan cooperation in Washington. The New York Times commented that the Republican Party, which has always opposed the government’s high degree of intervention in business, now supports the Democratic Party bill, in addition to supporting the domestic chip industry in the United States, "to contain the chip industry in China".

  According to the Wall Street Journal reported on the 10th, the bill is more than 1,000 pages long. The key content of the bill is to allocate 52.7 billion US dollars for domestic manufacturing of chips, including 39 billion US dollars for incentive plans and 11 billion US dollars for R&D and labor development plans. In addition, the government will provide 25% investment tax incentives for chip factories in the United States, with an estimated cost of $24 billion. There are about 200 billion dollars for scientific research.

  Qatar Al Jazeera reported on the 9th that the bill also includes "important restrictions" demanded by Republicans and China hawks, that is, enterprises applying for federal subsidies must promise not to develop precision chip manufacturing in Chinese mainland. The bill stipulates that subsidized companies are prohibited from significantly increasing production of "advanced process" chips (generally referred to as chips below 28 nanometers) in China for a period of 10 years. Companies that violate the ban may be required to refund all subsidies.

  On August 9, Micron, a chip maker, announced that it would seek the federal subsidy. Micron said it plans to invest $40 billion to build a new chip manufacturing plant in the United States by 2030. This investment will increase the share of the United States in the global memory chip manufacturing industry from the current 2% to 10%. Chip giant Intel also said it would apply for subsidies to support its plan to build two chip factories in Ohio. The company will also seek subsidies for its chip factory expansion plan in Arizona and its chip packaging factory in New Mexico. TSMC, the world’s largest chip maker, also said it would seek subsidies for building a chip factory in Phoenix.

  Forcibly change the global pattern of chip industry

  Li Zheng, an associate researcher at the American Institute of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, told the Global Times reporter that the signing of this bill has provided the United States with more chips for international cooperation and negotiation, and the United States may accelerate the construction of the so-called "four-party alliance of chips", with industrial subsidies and market access as chips to win over South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, China, and form the "backyard" of the American chip industry.

  On the 9th, BBC9 reported that the exclusive policy of the bill against China’s chip industry made many chip companies face the problem of "taking sides" between China and the United States. Because Chinese mainland is the largest chip market in the world, this "taking sides" approach makes TSMC, Samsung, Intel and other enterprises fall into a dilemma. Samsung has a memory chip manufacturing factory in Xi ‘an, SK Haishili has memory chip manufacturing factories in Wuxi and Dalian, Intel and Micron also have chip packaging and testing factories in China, and TSMC is the only company that produces advanced process chips below 28 nm in Chinese mainland (its Nanjing factory produces 16 nm chips). "This is directly targeted in the Chip and Science Act". The BBC reported that in fact, in the past, all American equipment manufacturers have received letters from the US Department of Commerce, informing them not to supply China with equipment for the manufacture of chips of 14 nanometers or less.

  Security officials in Taiwan Province are forcing Foxconn to abandon its $800 million investment in Chinese mainland’s chip company Ziguang Group, the Financial Times reported on the 10th. Foxconn announced the investment last month, but an unnamed security official of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities claimed: "This will definitely not pass."

  An unnamed industry insider said in an interview with Global Times that in recent years, the United States has taken various measures to create a "small circle" of chips that crowd out Chinese mainland, and the so-called "China guardrail" clause in this chip bill is seriously harmful to China and even the whole industry. In the future, the United States may rely on this dominant behavior of occupying the industrial chain to "make whatever countries produce", which may break the division of labor and pattern of the global chip industry.

  China’s embassy in the United States said on the 9th that it "resolutely opposes" the bill, denouncing it as "cold war and zero-sum game thinking". The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the China International Chamber of Commerce also issued a document expressing their opposition on the 10th, arguing that the provisions in the bill discriminate against some foreign enterprises, highlighting that the United States and Italy intend to use government forces to forcibly change the international division of labor pattern of the chip industry, which has harmed the interests of enterprises from all over the world, including Chinese and American enterprises. "This is the ultimate arms race in the 21st century." The New York Times said on the 10th that "commercial and geopolitical motives" urged China to make chips as quickly as possible, while the United States had "competitive motives" to prevent China from acquiring advanced technology.

  "It’s just copying China’s plays."

  The New York Times said that shortly before the US bill came into effect, China’s chip manufacturers had just achieved a major technological breakthrough and announced that they had successfully manufactured 7-nanometer chips, "which surprised the world". NPR said on the 9th that the bill "may not be able to curb China’s influence", and it may force China to "make more independent innovations in chip manufacturing to catch up with the United States and its East Asian counterparts".

  Republican lawmakers in the United States who disapprove of the bill say that this may just give more benefits to enterprises with high profits. "I know that Democrats want to say that this is a competitive bill, but it is just copying China’s script." Rep. Rogers, a Republican, said that in 2015, the China administration put forward the "Made in China 2025" action plan to invest or subsidize ten high-tech industries that China considered to have long-term strategic value, and now the Biden administration is only trying to "spend more than China". According to the Nikkei Asia Review, China has invested US$ 150 billion in the chip industry, and TSMC said it plans to invest US$ 100 billion to expand its manufacturing capacity within three years. The European Union is also legislating for its own chip manufacturing. Therefore, the Chip and Science Act may not bring about "earth-shaking changes".

  "None of the well-known American multinational companies, including Intel, grew up with government subsidies." Taiwan Province Zhongshi News Network said on the 10th. According to the estimation of Boston Consulting Group, if Washington adopts the policy of "hard decoupling technology" from China, it may even harm the interests of some American chip companies, or make them lose 18% of the global market share and 37% of the revenue, and reduce 15,000 to 40,000 high-skilled jobs. In other words, the subsidies provided by the Chip and Science Act may not make up for the cost of chip companies moving their factories from China to the United States.

  Zhang Zhongmou, the founder of TSMC, said that the cost of producing the same chip in the United States is "about 50% higher than that in Taiwan Province". He said that it is "futile, wasteful and very expensive" for the United States to increase the local chip manufacturing industry. Collier, a risk management expert at Redford University in Virginia, told CNN on the 9th that no matter how hard countries try to support their manufacturing bases, it is impossible to decouple from the global supply chain, especially the design, manufacturing and raw materials of chips are distributed in many different countries and regions. "This is a huge network. No matter how hard countries try to localize manufacturing, a certain degree of interdependence is inevitable. "

Beijing Huimin cultural consumption season is coming! 50 million subsidies to benefit the people.

  Beijing Cultural Consumption Season has been held for ten consecutive times since its establishment in 2013. Today (July 19th), the 11th Beijing Huimin Cultural Consumption Season was launched in Beijing. In this cultural consumption season, we will upgrade our own brand activities, organize a series of cultural activities to benefit the people through activities such as the Beijing Cultural Consumption Carnival and the Beijing Art Trade Exhibition Month, and launch 50 million yuan to subsidize enterprises to benefit the general public.

  According to the relevant person in charge, this cultural consumption season is "season for year", and the activities cover the whole year. There will be 50 million yuan of matching funds for enterprises, and enterprises will benefit more consumers by making profits and discounts. More than 300 enterprises have participated in it, and through the linkage of the whole market, a relatively perfect cultural consumption system has been formed. In addition, this cultural consumption season will also explore the establishment of a visual Beijing cultural consumption database through data monitoring.

  It is worth mentioning that this year’s Huimin cultural consumption season is also specially combined with the innovative city exploration and operation service platform, connecting more than 100 high-quality merchants in series, and creating a new consumption model with the new gameplay of urban exploration and punching cards, integrating transactions and experiences, and integrating cultural tourism, sports and entertainment.

  Next, nearly 100 events will be held in Beijing, such as the Han Culture Festival in August, the "Belt and Road" food festival in September, the 751 International Design Festival in October, the book fair, and the punching in beautiful countryside, so that the profound cultural heritage and rich cultural consumption will infiltrate people’s hearts.

The Celtics won the tiebreak! In the finals against the Warriors, Butler did his best with 35 points.

Butler has done his best.

King-to-king, will-to-general, give everything he has until he dies.

On May 30th, Beijing time, the Heat and the Celtics fought a tiebreak, and finally the Celtics defeated the Heat 100-96 and returned to the finals after 12 years.

Butler played 48 points and scored 35 points and 9 rebounds, still playing a lonely hero. Unfortunately, this victory failed to favor the Heat …Among other Heat players, Adebayor had 25 points and 11 rebounds. Lori had 15 points and 7 rebounds.

Tatum won the East Finals MVP.

On the Celtics side, Tatum scored 26 points and 10 rebounds to win the East Finals MVP "larry bird Cup"; Jaylen Brown scored 24 points and 6 assists; Smart scored 24 points and 9 rebounds.

It is worth mentioning that in the past 13 seasons, the Celtics won Tianwangshan four times, but in the end they were all reversed by their opponents. Now the Celtics have not let the victory slip away.

Lori clings to Tatum (right).

A narrow escape to a close match.

Before deciding the G6, the data organization FiveThirtyEight predicted that the Celtics’ promotion probability was as high as 89%. At that time, almost everyone thought that the Heat was at the end of the road.

However, when it came to Dong Jue G7, the data agency updated the probability of winning the championship again, and the probability of Celtic advancing to the finals was only 52%, while that of Heat was 48%, which was the closest between the two teams.

From a narrow escape to a close match, it is enough to prove the stalemate of this series.

When it comes to tiebreak, coach Spock of the Heat said, "There is nothing like tiebreak, and I am really happy that we can all experience this."

In the history of the Heat’s team, they played in the tiebreak for 10 times, with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses. Since entering the Spock era, the Heat have won 4-2 in the tiebreaker, including 4-0 at home.

Butler is the only one in the Heat who can be trusted.

On the Celtics’ side, they experienced seven away games, and the Celtics won the most three away games with a winning rate of nearly 80% at home.

Among them, in the NBA finals in 1974, the Green Army beat the Bucks away to win the championship. However, after that, the Celtics lost four away tiebreaks in a row.

But history doesn’t mean that the Celtics have no chance-so far this season, the Celtics have been able to beat their opponents by 7.49 points, ranking fourth in NBA history.

In addition, the Celtics have never lost in a row this season. Since the playoffs, the Green Army has won every game after every defeat, with a record of 6 wins and 0 losses.

Brown broke through in the game.

The ability to adjust after losing is the label of Celtic this season. So at the beginning of the tiebreaker, the Green Army showed their aggressiveness.

They obviously strengthened the speed of changing the attack. In this section, the Celtics’ fast break score was 13-4, far ahead of the Heat, and the Celtics’ fast break score in the first quarter was only 1 point less than G6′ s whole game.

It is worth mentioning that Uduka canceled today’s pre-match shooting training. "In this series, I want players to have energetic legs and make them full of energy and vitality."

Under the continuous switching attack, the Celtics led by 32 to 17 in the first quarter, and the 15-point lead was also the biggest difference in the first quarter in the history of NBA tiebreak, while the Celtics led by 15 points in the first quarter in the history of playoff team, and their record was 21 wins and 0 losses.

At the home of the Heat, the Celtics made a perfect start, and the famous mouth Skip even tweeted: "The Celtics should set their home in Miami when they play the finals."

Butler hit the basket again and again.

Open Fire

In the Celtics’ voice tiebreak, the Heat can only rely on Butler.

In this game, Hiro, who missed three games, returned to the game list. He originally needed to rest for 1-2 weeks with a groin strain, but in the moment of life and death, Hiro forced his comeback.

Hiro’s forced comeback is commendable in spirit, but it’s hard to ask Hiro to do more in the intensity of the tiebreak. As Adebayor said: "This is a sensitive injury and he must take it slowly."

Hero, who appeared in the second quarter, not only failed to score, but also became the weak link of the Celtics’ main attack. Not only Hiro, but also the Heat’s starting lineup is quite weak on the offensive end-Lori made 0 shots in the first 5, and Struce and Tucker all missed the first 4 shots.

So the lonely hero Butler went online again. Butler, who scored 47 points in the last game, was still brave in the tiebreaker. At the beginning of the game, the Heat missed the continuous sports battle, and Butler broke the deadlock with a fast-break dunk.

In the second quarter, when the team’s attack was weak, it was Butler who propped up the whole team’s attack and scored 18 points to tie the single-quarter scoring record of his career in the playoffs.

Butler also made adjustments in the game. At the beginning of the game, Butler tried several shots and found that he felt bad, so he immediately switched the mode to kill the inside. Butler made 11 shots in the first half, and only 3 were out of the three-second zone.

Butler acupuncture treatment of knee.

The most representative goal was in the middle of the second quarter. Butler successfully scored 2+1 against the encirclement of the Green Army in the transition.

Throughout the first half, Butler scored 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting, Adebayor scored 11 points on 5-for-10 shooting, while other Heat players scored only 14 points on 3-for-17 shooting.

Before this game, Butler, who finished shooting training, even needed acupuncture to treat his knee.

In the case of Butler’s continuous attack on the inside, the game has already become a hand-to-hand combat. The Green Army made 16 fouls in the first half, which set a new high for the Green Army in the first half of this season.

Butler, who didn’t rest for a second in the first half, led the Heat to chase the score to 49-55, and the biggest difference between the two teams was only 6 points from 14 points.

Hiro came back with an injury.

Give everything you have until you die.

It’s more about the details that determine the outcome of the game.

As coach Spock said before the game, "It really depends on what kind of team you are, and it is a test of team habits. How much trust do players have?" What can you do at these critical moments? Can you do more than your opponent? "

In the last two minutes of G6, Butler scored a crucial 7-pointer, while Tatum and Brown of Celtic scored only one sports game in the last 4 minutes and 43 seconds. Not only that, Tatum also made many mistakes, and Brown wasted the key two penalty opportunities.

However, at that time, the shooting choice of double exploration was related to the defensive strategy of the Heat. As Tatum said after the game, "I think all I have to do is go on the court and feel the game, attract the defense’s attention and find the dislocation."

The same is true in the second half of the tiebreak. When the heat pressure gave us a double exploration, the role players of the Green Army stabilized the situation-Smart scored 9 points in a single quarter, and the Celtics once played a 17-9 offensive climax, but then the heat approached the score, and the Celtics led by 7 points in the third quarter and entered the last quarter.

Horford (right) tries to block Butler.

By the fourth quarter of the game, both sides had already given everything they had. Even when Adebayor fell, he elbowed White’s head and caused bleeding. Both sides still focused on the ball.

However, the Heat missed 7 shots in the fourth quarter and the score was pulled to double digits. But in the last two minutes of the game, the Heat scored 11-0, but Butler and Struce missed 3 points, and the Celtics finally won the victory.

When the smoke of Dongjue gradually dispersed, the warriors in the west were on a two-day vacation. The warriors who broke into the finals in advance will not start the team’s formal training until tomorrow.

As Cole said, "I think it’s important to rest. Both sides are very tired in the regional finals, and I think both teams in the East have felt this."

The Celtics will face an experienced warrior who has reached the finals six times in eight years.

Tesla FSD landed, how far is China players?

write an article /Tu Yanping
edit /Huangda Road
design /Zhao Yongshun

In May 2023, Musk revealed that Tesla FSD V12 would adopt an end-to-end solution. In March 2024, Tesla began to push V12 on a large scale.

According to the statistics of the third-party website FSD Tracker, after the update of Tesla FSD V12, compared with the previous version, the proportion of trips that users completely took over increased from 47% to 72%, and the average take-over mileage (MPI) increased from 116 miles to 333 miles.

On the Tesla FSD V12, the end-to-end autopilot technology has shown great strength.

With the development of AI and big model technology entering a new stage, end-to-end technology has become the focus of the autonomous driving industry. So, what is end to end? To what extent has its technology evolved?

In June 2024, Chentao Capital, Nanjing University Shanghai Alumni Association Autopilot Branch and Jiuzhang Zhijia jointly released the 2024 End-to-end Autopilot Industry Research Report (hereinafter referred to as the Report), which made an all-round analysis from the basic concepts, participants, development drivers, landing challenges and future prospects of end-to-end autopilot.

The Report systematically sorts out the concept of end-to-end autonomous driving technology, puts forward a set of terminology system for reference, and defines the basic concepts of end-to-end.

The Report pointed out that in the early days, the core definition of end-to-end was "a single neural network model from sensor input to control output". In recent years, the concept of end-to-end has been extended to a wider extent. According to the Report, the end-to-end core definition standard should be: lossless transmission of perceived information and global optimization of autonomous driving system.

Based on this definition, combined with the application degree of AI in the autopilot system, the Report divides the autopilot technology architecture into four stages:

The first stage:Perceive "end to end". The sensing module realizes the "end-to-end" at the module level through BEV (Bird Eye View) technology based on multi-transmitter fusion.

The second stage:Modeling of decision planning. Functional modules from prediction to decision-making to planning have been integrated into the same neural network.

The third stage:Modular end to end. Perception module no longer outputs the results based on human understanding definition, but gives more feature vectors. The comprehensive model of predictive decision planning module outputs the results of motion planning based on feature vectors. The two modules cannot be trained independently, and they must be trained simultaneously by gradient conduction.

The fourth stage:One Model end to end. There is no clear division of functions such as perception and decision planning, and the same deep learning model is directly used from the input of the original signal to the output of the final planning trajectory.

Among them, the last two stages meet the above-mentioned end-to-end definition standards.

In addition, the report also distinguishes and analyzes the differences and connections between end-to-end and big model, world model, pure visual sensor scheme and other confusing concepts.

In April, 2016, NVIDIA team published a paper named End to End Learning for Self-driving Cars, which showed the end-to-end autopilot system DAVE-2 based on Convolutional Neural Network, CNN).

The system processes the camera image in front of the vehicle through CNN, and directly outputs the steering angle. During the training process, the model learns by simulating driving data. The Report calls it a pioneering work in the field of end-to-end autonomous driving in recent years.

At present, there are many players with end-to-end autonomous driving in the market. The Report divides them into several categories:

First, the OEM. Such as Tesla, Xpeng Motors, HarmonyOS Zhixing, Weilai and Zero One.

On May 20, 2024, Xpeng Motors held an AI Day conference to announce that the end-to-end large model was on the bus.

On April 24th, 2024, Huawei launched a new version of intelligent driving system-Gankun ADS 3.0, which realized the modeling of decision-making planning and laid the foundation for the continuous evolution of end-to-end architecture.

In addition, Weilai plans to go online in the first half of 2024 based on the end-to-end active safety function, and Zero One Automobile, a new energy heavy truck technology company, plans to realize the deployment of end-to-end autonomous driving by the end of 2024.

Second, autonomous driving algorithm and system company. Such as Yuanrong Qixing, Zhizhi Robot, Shang Tang Jueying and Xiaoma Zhixing.

Horizon proposed the end-to-end algorithm Sparse4D; for automatic driving perception in 2022; In 2023, UniAD, the first publicly published end-to-end autopilot model in the industry, was published by Horizon Scholar I, and won the best paper of CVPR 2023.

In August, 2023, Xiaoma Zhixing opened three traditional modules of perception, prediction and regulation, and unified them into an end-to-end autopilot model. At present, they have been simultaneously installed in L4 self-driving taxis and L2 auxiliary driving passenger cars.

On the eve of the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, NVIDIA revealed the development plan of the autonomous driving business, and mentioned that the second step of the plan was to "achieve a new breakthrough in L2++ system, and get on the LLM (large language model) and VLM (visual language model) models to realize end-to-end autonomous driving".

At the Beijing Auto Show in April, 2024, Yuanrong Qixing demonstrated the high-level intelligent driving platform DeepRoute IO and the end-to-end solution based on DeepRoute IO. Shang Tang Jueying introduced the end-to-end autopilot solution "UniAD" for mass production and the next generation autopilot technology, DriveAGI. The former belongs to the "modular end-to-end" type, and the latter is "One Model end-to-end".

During the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, Du Dalong, co-founder and CTO of Jianzhi Robot, revealed that GraphAD, the original self-driving end-to-end model of Jianzhi Robot, has been mass-produced and deployed, and is being jointly developed with head car companies.

Third, self-driving generative AI companies, such as Nimbus Intelligence and Nimbus Intelligence.

Founded in early 2023, Optical Wheel Intelligence has developed a self-developed full-link solution for end-to-end data and simulation. In September, 2023, Nimbus Intelligent launched DriveDreamer, a world model of autonomous driving, which can realize full-link closed-loop simulation of end-to-end autonomous driving, and can be extended to directly output end-to-end action instructions.

Fourthly, academic research institutions, such as Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Tsinghua University MARS Lab.

Since 2023, driven by Tesla’s benchmarking role, the AGI technology paradigm represented by the big model, and the anthropomorphization and safety requirements of autonomous driving, the attention of the autonomous driving industry to end-to-end has been heating up, and end-to-end has gradually become the consensus of the autonomous driving industry.

According to a survey of more than 30 front-line experts in the autonomous driving industry in the Report, 90% of the respondents indicated that the company they work for has invested in the research and development of end-to-end technology.

The Report analyzes the challenges faced by the end-to-end solution, including technical route, data and computing power requirements, testing and verification, and organizational resources investment.

First, differences in technical routes.

For example, "modular end-to-end" adopts the training paradigm of supervised learning, and "One Model end-to-end" may pay more attention to autoregressive and generative training paradigms, and both routes have company bets. According to the Report, in the next 1-2 years, as more companies and research institutions increase investment in the end-to-end field and launch products, the technical route will gradually converge.

Second, the demand for training data is unprecedented.

Under the end-to-end technology architecture, the importance of training data has been enhanced as never before. Among them, issues related to data quantity, data labeling, data quality and data distribution may all become challenges that limit end-to-end application. The Report suggests that synthesizing data and establishing a data sharing platform may be the solution.

Third, the demand for training computing power is getting higher and higher.

Most companies say that 100 large computing GPUs can support an end-to-end model training. And end-to-end into the mass production stage, the demand for training computing power has increased dramatically.

At the 2024Q1 earnings conference call, Tesla said that there are already 35,000 H100 GPUs, and plans to increase to more than 85,000 H 100 GPUs in 2024. Previously, it also deployed a larger A100 GPU training cluster.

In August, 2023, Tucki announced the establishment of the "Fuxuan" Intelligent Computing Center for Autopilot, with a computing power of 600PFLOPS (calculated from the FP32 computing power of NVIDIA A100 GPU, it is equivalent to about 30,000 A100 GPUs).

In addition, Shang Tang Big Device has laid out a nationwide integrated intelligent computing network, with 45,000 GPUs, with an overall computing power of 12000PFLOPS, which will reach 18000PFLOPS by the end of 2024.

According to the "Report", "Most companies that develop end-to-end autonomous driving are currently at the kilocalorie level. As the end-to-end gradually moves towards a large model, the training computing power will be stretched."

Fourth, the test and verification methods are not mature.

The existing test and verification methods are not suitable for end-to-end autonomous driving, and the industry urgently needs new test and verification methodology and tool chain.

Fifth, the challenge of organizational resource input.

End-to-end needs to reshape the organizational structure and tilt resources to the data side, which challenges the existing model.

In addition, some people think that the lack of computing power and interpretability are the limiting factors for end-to-end landing, and the Report puts forward the opposite conclusion.

The "Report" predicts that the mass production time of the modular end-to-end scheme of domestic autonomous driving companies may be in 2025, and the end-to-end landing time of One Model will be 1-2 years later than the modular end-to-end, from 2026 to 2027. Start mass production.

This will drive the upstream technological progress and the evolution of the market and industrial structure.

Technically, end-to-end landing will accelerate the progress of upstream tool chains and chips on which it depends; On the market side, the improvement of end-to-end autonomous driving experience will bring about an increase in the penetration rate of high-order assisted driving, and may also drive the application of autonomous driving across geographical regions, countries and scenes; In terms of industrial structure, end-to-end further enhances the importance of data and AI talents, which may lead to new industrial division of labor and business models.

In the early stage of development, autonomous driving draws lessons from the accumulation of many robot industries in perception algorithms, planning algorithms, middleware and sensors. In recent years, autonomous driving technology and industrial maturity have improved, among which the AGI technology paradigm provided by end-to-end autonomous driving has a feedback effect on the universal humanoid robot industry.

The "Report" believes that with the continuous progress of AI technology, the mutual integration and mutual reference of autonomous driving and robotics will be deeper, jointly promoting AGI (General Artificial Intelligence) to the physical world and creating greater social value.
