Uber's next target: unmanned? transportation cloud!i dark horse: New Year's Day, everyone will go out New Year, when the autopilot if there is enough, no need to worry about the wrong way! Juniper in the United Air Jordan 3 Retro States, a senior software engineer Air Jordan 10 Chen Tian believes that this idea will eventually be achieved, but only to provide a \u0026 ldquo; transportation cloud \u0026 rdquo ;, That day, Uber has a strong brain, it needed all the thousands one million cars to choose the most appropriate vehicle to schedule, which in turn will release what opportunities? Before Wen / Chen Tien, senior software engineer at Juniper edit / Cui Jing 1 autopilot will eventually replace human drivers, I mountain view (CA) while driving can often see google driverless car: the front cover filled with orientation sensor and radar, ceiling contains rapidly rotating laser transmitter, through a variety of sensors to perceive the environment around 360 degrees, and make the best response at the moment. The vigorous development and testing major technology companies and universities, automatic driving car technology is already quite mature, mainstream perception is: the autopilot will eventually replace human drivers, this process is irreversible, just a matter of time. The reason is self-evident: the software that humans can not be compared accurately and efficiently \u0026 mdash; \u0026 mdash; humans nap, distracted, unresponsive, misjudgment, overestimate themselves or underestimate their own, well-designed software is not; humans need good rest , and the software can consistently 7x24-hour operation. For my own part, clear GPS instructions clear, but Nike Shoes also because I misjudged the wrong intersection; if I open a man from San Francisco to Los Angeles, I have to rest for at least two or three times the middle, or even take a nap, to complete the whole turn long and boring journey. Taking into account the United States alone, more than thirty thousand die each year from traffic accidents, which are mostly Air Jordan 7 Retro human weakness (fatigue driving and speeding) result of autonomous vehicles do not have to be perfect, just behaved than humans Well a little bit is enough. 2 world will be like? Assume that 10 years after the autopilot completely replace human drivers, the world will become what? The most direct expression of all and transport-related jobs will be substituted autopilot software. According to the US Labor Department figures, in 2012 the direct and transport-related jobs is 4.4 million, the vast majority of these people might lose their jobs. Due to Kids Nike Trainers lower labor costs, 24x7 to operational efficiency, and significantly reduce the accident rate, the cost of logistics is compressed to a very low level. Prices of commodities prices and transportation-related services (for example, taxi and passenger buses) will be reduced a lot. Tourism industry and the car rental industry will benefit. Cost drivers of group travel is saved, of course, more tourists will choose car travel. Ago in a foreign country because of the unfamiliar car tourists dare sake, no longer have to Nike Free worry about driving problems, Air Jordan 6 rent a driverless car, Mimi enjoy the scenery like. 3Uber's next target: transportation cloud Speaking of taxis, just to talk about the current heady Uber. Uber even the CEO are frank \u0026 ldquo; Uberwill eventually replace its drivers with self-driving cars \u0026 rdquo ;. But I think this is just the second step of Uber. After this step is completed, the next goal is to Air Jordan 17 build perhaps a transportation cloud. To illustrate this conjecture in the transportation cloud, we take the computationcloud-AWS amazon analogy. In AWS Previously, each company has its own private Internet data centers, as one island, the need to build to be as complete, with the largest capacity to accommodate unexpected traffic, even if unexpected situations during the year accounted for only a very few cases. In other words, private data center on weekdays wasting enormous computing resources. Amazon AWS constructed by an almost no limit to the computation cloud, so that any company can Air Jordan 1 use AWS to build data centers of any size, and on-demand pay, not a month, not every day, but (even every minute) per hour. We have a private car for each family the equivalent of the Internet company's private data center. Although I commute time only 1/24 the day not to, but I had to have the whole car. Moreover, not one, is two or more, the use of a work on the car, an SUV (5 seat or 7) In order to cope with children holiday travel purposes. Nike Basketball Two cars had to pay for the insurance, we have to find people change the oil, replace the parts, the bad need of repair, or even buy a new car. This build their own data centers are much alike! My demand is to have one to two car? No. I just need a carrying myself or my family, to reach solutions to point B from point A. In the current environment, own car is one to two program TCO (TotalCost of Ownership, TCO) the province. If Uber offers a autopilot based transportation cloud it? That is, Uber offers an infinite number of cars, or that it is similar Air Jordan 13 Retro to an infinite number of cars, so I want to use when up and running can be ready to use. Of course, I no longer need their own car. Up in the morning to go out, I only need to make an appointment on the phone a compact sedan (similar AWS's t2.micro), sent me to the company, for 5 to 10 minutes after the car I want to reach my house, carrying I automatically selects the current best route travel. On cragslist bought a few pieces of used furniture, a compact sedan to my wife and I received a seller's home, to the satisfaction of our furniture out the door, the door Ford truck has been vigilant. Need not be described more scenes. A transportation cloud most wonderful place is that you need not pay a monthly fee or Air Jordan Others pay by the day, you only need pay-and pay according to the actual use long. Porsche 911 is very expensive, but three days of the day if I spent a total of 2 hours 48 minutes, I only need to pay $ 52.5 + fuel costs (assuming $ 150 911 one day, 8 hours a day count, irrespective of prime time when leisure busy ). My daily commute time is 40 minutes. That is 174 hours a year off (assuming five days a week), 520 (52x5x2). If a compact one hour $ 6, $ 1 per use fee, is $ 1764 a year TCO + oil costs. This should raise their own cost-effective than any car. Construction of such a transportation cloud needs a strong brain. You can from a variety of real-time reservations, select the most appropriate vehicle from millions of cars in scheduling. And that is Uber continuous learning and the ability to evolve at this stage. Uber Nike Free it is likely that Amazon is further to build a transportation cloud, at first it did not need to purchase any vehicle. It only needs to build such an economic model, users Kids Shoes naturally want to rent out their cars to provide the vehicle. As users put their cars rented out more and more (which is inevitable, buying a car autopilot, join Uber, with the equivalent of a printing press), supply and demand imbalance, with cars of TCO too big is not worth it to take money, Uber will ultimately build your very own cloud. This time, maybe the auto industry has been shrinking almost, because the required number of cars worldwide because of superior planning capabilities Uber, while greatly reduced. In the end, just like google and facebook to bypass professional server vendors to build their own server, like, Uber is also the beginning of production they need cars (at least for t2.micro concerned). So a blind pondering, Uber 40B valuation is not really high. A potential integration of all car and can get real benefits company from each use, once the imagination become a reality, how will an integrated than most people, but only to generate revenue through advertising company market capitalization (214B) high, Air Jordan Others right? Moreover, the car's passengers, which was liberated from the driver's position out of people, in the long journey, he will have to do something, this is a big gold mine.
