Shenhao started as a military training anchor

In Holly's judgment, if the market share of driverless taxis reaches more than 15%, it will definitely cause massive unemployment and trigger fierce social conflicts.

Below 15% is a relatively stable state, because the domestic urbanization process has not stopped, cities will continue to expand, and urban expansion will further expand the online car-hailing market.

The current urbanization rate is 66.3%. Based on the final urbanization rate of 70%, it is safe for the online car-hailing industry to maintain the proportion of driverless taxis at 15%.

However, with the rapid development of the AI ​​era, the market for driverless cars will definitely break through this safety point and even occupy half of the online car-hailing market.

How to solve the unemployment problem we are facing?

This needs to be discussed.

Baidu says that driverless cars will not affect employment, but will provide more jobs.

The second half of the sentence is true, it can indeed provide many jobs.

However, these positions are aimed at technical personnel and white-collar workers, and have little to do with the drivers engaged in the online ride-hailing industry.

In the end, all the money went to Baidu and the shareholders behind it.

The employment of the lower-class people is not guaranteed.

That’s why Holly came up with the concept of “technology service provider”.

Just hand over the operating rights of the driverless car and the platform will charge the service fees.

In fact, there is not much difference from the current online car-hailing model, it is just a matter of vehicle ownership and operating entity.

Holly took advantage of the situation to reassure hundreds of thousands of drivers at EasySpeed ​​and said bluntly, "I won't speculate on how other platforms will respond, but here, in front of tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, I assure all EasySpeed ​​employees that you will not face the risk of losing your jobs.

If the era of driverless cars fully arrives, it will only free your hands and allow you to sit at home and make money, rather than making you unemployed. "

These two sentences sparked heated discussions in the live broadcast room.

Holly continued: "Today I can reveal some news to you. In fact, we are already doing relevant scientific research projects.

The team currently has two options.

One is the solution of technical service equipment + AI large model.

This solution is relatively simple and only requires technical upgrades to existing smart trams.

It could be a device or a system.

Drivers only need to purchase technical equipment to complete the upgrade, and then turn their cars into driverless online-hailing taxis, and let the cars make money for you.

We provide big data detection, system upgrade services, maintenance... and other services.

The disadvantage of this solution is that the ecosystems of major domestic automakers and technology companies are not unified, and we cannot provide technical upgrade services for many car models.

Therefore, the team proposed a second solution, in which EasyTravel joined hands with E-Sun Auto and Everest Technology Group to produce low-cost, highly intelligent electric vehicles and put them on the market.

Drivers pay to purchase this car to engage in driverless online ride-hailing services.

The ownership of the car belongs to the driver, and the operating individual remains unchanged, and he is still the driver.

The Yisu platform provides unmanned driving technology services.

We charge technical service fees and subsequent system maintenance fees.

The disadvantage of this plan is that the current automotive industry chain is unable to lower prices. Only when the new energy vehicle market is large enough can costs be reduced.

We are working on both plans at the same time.

I believe it will be realized one day, and it must be realized before driverless cars bring employment pressure.

Therefore, fellow Yisu drivers, as well as the online car-hailing drivers and taxi drivers who are watching the live broadcast in the live broadcast room at this moment, do not need to be too anxious and believe in the benefits brought by technology.

At least in the field of science and technology, I have always adhered to the people-oriented approach.

The last era has already abandoned a group of people, and I don’t want to do the same thing in the next era.

This is what I really think. "

These words touched millions of people in the live broadcast room.

“That’s what technology is really about.”

"I think I understand. It means that we can buy equipment and modify it, or buy an unmanned vehicle and let it run by itself, and we can just sit back and collect money." "The operating entity is still the driver, there is no change, only the operating method has changed, it is unmanned driving."

"I believe Mr. Huo will succeed, and that day will surely come."

"I accept both options. With your hands freed, you can work in the service industry or other industries, and driverless cars can still make money for you."

“We should really change our thinking and embrace new things. The future will definitely be the era of AI intelligence.”

"It should be said that Mr. Huo's plan is much more conscientious than Baidu's crude deployment of vehicles. Baidu's driverless cars, all the money was earned by one company."

"Mr. Huo's live broadcast tonight will definitely affect the development of the entire industry."

"I'm finally at peace with myself. The era that Mr. Huo mentioned is probably still a long way off. Let's just drive sports cars and make money first."

"..."

Holly finally said: "That's all I want to say. Finally, I'll give everyone a lucky bag and wish you all a happy life."

A lucky bag worth tens of millions was distributed.

This is the right given to Instructor Huo by the Qiangyin platform when he was using the Internet.

Only he can give out lucky bags worth millions.

After sending out the lucky bags, the live broadcast ended immediately.

Backend data explosion.

The number of people online at the same time for this live broadcast reached more than 2.5 million, and the number of viewers exceeded million.

His live broadcast today will definitely cause a huge sensation.

That evening, Baidu CEO Robin Li personally spoke out to thank Holly for his affirmation of the entry of "driverless cars" into the market and said that the company would also make changes in the direction mentioned by Holly.

Let Baidu operate the unmanned online car-hailing industry as a technical service provider and return the operating entity to the drivers.

No one knows whether Baidu will do it, but Li Yanhong's standing up and following Holly's words was a very successful public relations move, which gradually dispelled the concerns of online car-hailing drivers.

It also alleviated previous social conflicts.

At the same time, major domestic new energy vehicle companies responded and stood up to support Holly and EasyTravel.

In addition, CEOs of major automobile companies have said that they would actively embrace Everest Technology and want to carry out in-depth cooperation with Everest Technology.

The reason is simple: the second option proposed by Hawley is related to their direct interests.

If Yian Auto and Everest Technology can manufacture low-priced, highly intelligent cars and invest in the driverless online car-hailing market, it will bring a new spring to the new energy market.

The total number of online-hailing cars and taxis in the country has reached more than five million. It is impossible for Yian Auto alone to take over such a huge market.

Production, technical services, maintenance... are all very big problems.

There are millions of smart trams on the market, and everyone can have a share.

Of course we have to stand up and support Holly.

Holly looked at the way these car company CEOs were flattering him, smiled, and came over when he smelled the scent.

He does not rule out cooperating with domestic car companies. Large enterprises are allowed in the country, but monopoly enterprises are not allowed.

The most important thing is that only by combining domestically produced new energy to continue to expand the market can we truly achieve cost reduction in the entire automotive industry chain.

Based on the existing technology, reducing costs is the prerequisite for "driverless online ride-hailing vehicles" to truly occupy the market.

On this road, Holly also hopes that the country can be ahead of the world.

Only by maintaining our advantages in leading areas and catching up in areas where we lag behind can we truly become a strong country in science and technology and stand at the top of the world.

This journey cannot be accomplished by one person or one company alone; it requires the joint efforts of people from all walks of life.

What Holly didn't expect was that the influence of this live broadcast actually saved Big A, which had been sluggish for a long time.

A shares have started to rebound. (End of this chapter)
