Meituan shared car settled in Chengdu: the new gameplay after the giant invasion has been launched

Authors: Wang Xunkui and Zhou Xiaodan

Before the trial and error of the blue strands, after the drop of strict prevention, Meituan’s shared car business is destined to wade through a muddy road.

Geek Park has learned that Meituan’s time-sharing car business has been launched in Chengdu’s Pidu urban area, called "Meituan Car Rental", and this app can already be downloaded on the app store. At present, there are only two fuel models, Volkswagen Langyi and Volkswagen Santana. According to the available vehicles on the user map, it is estimated that there are about 50 to 100 vehicles in operation. Orders are still calculated according to "frequent + mileage".

Meituan has established a mobility division internally, and new businesses in the mobility field, including shared cars, Meituan maps, and driverless and taxi-hailing, are slowly being integrated into this division. According to media reports in early November, Meituan is recruiting relevant teams.

After testing the water taxi business in Nanjing at the beginning of this year and launching the Mobike bicycle entrance in September, Meituan’s hunger for big travel has stopped concealing.A former Meituan executive told Geek Park that within Meituan, travel has been listed as one of the company’s key business directions in 2018.

Like the ride-hailing business that went live before, Meituan’s shared car timeshare rental business will be piloted in a single city first.

A person close to Meituan told Geek Park that in the planning stage of this business, domestic second-tier cities including Chengdu, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Chongqing were all considered by decision-makers, but because "Xiamen market is too small, Hangzhou is heavily guarded by Ali, and it is afraid of diverting Nanjing’s taxi business. Chongqing also has a relatively mature start-up company (Panda car) to take root and try," and finally chose Chengdu.

Meituan’s almost borderless business expansion model has made it an "outlier" in Internet companies. Previously, Meituan’s layout in the travel field was explained by Wang Xing as "starting from the needs of customers", "anything related to food and life, we should consider participating."

The shared car timeshare rental market in Chengdu is not a blank. At present, there are already many timeshare rental companies such as Panda Car, Go Fun, EVCARD, and Tuge in the streets of Chengdu.

Although it is far from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Chengdu has long been the best training ground for time-sharing rentals.

The greatest dividends come from the policy levelIn September 2017, the General Office of the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government issued the "Notice on Encouraging and Regulating the Development of New Energy Vehicle Timeshare Leasing Industry", which directly stated that Chengdu will increase policy support for new energy vehicle timeshare leasing enterprises, and gave specific goals: "By the end of 2018, the city will basically form a new energy vehicle timeshare leasing service network, with 2,500 service outlets and 10,000 charging piles; by the end of 2020, the city will form a comprehensive new energy vehicle timeshare leasing service network, with 5,000 service outlets and 20,000 charging piles."

The release of this policy has brought a huge incremental market to Chengdu. At the same time, compared with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which strictly control the number of car license plates issued, Chengdu has not yet issued a license restriction order, which also lowers the threshold for "intruder" Meituan.

"Chengdu government support is relatively strong, the crowd is relatively open, and the traffic conditions are relatively good." Zeng Hao, the head of Panda’s Chengdu operation, said that he has not yet received news that Meituan’s time-sharing rental business is going to land in Chengdu, but he speculates that the good market and policy environment in Chengdu may be an important reason for Meituan’s choice.

The data shows that Chengdu is the second largest car ownership market in the country except Beijing, with car ownership exceeding 4 million and driving license ownership reaching 7 million. After a period of operation, Zeng Hao is very optimistic about the capacity of the Chengdu market:"That is to say, about 3 million people have a driver’s license without a car, and even if only 2% of them use shared cars, there is still 60,000 market space to explore."

In terms of vehicle sources, Chengdu-based shared car operators also have an advantage. Since 2007, Chengdu Economic Development Zone has been turned into a "Chengdu Automobile Industrial Park" specializing in the development of complete vehicles and supporting parts. In the International Automobile City located in Longquan, Chengdu, including Geely Volvo, FAW-Volkswagen, FAW Toyota, Chengdu Ruihuaxian Energy Automobile and other automobile manufacturers have established large production bases.

According to the above-mentioned person close to Meituan, similar to other domestic shared car operators, Meituan will also adopt the cooperation method of financing and leasing with several car factories and rental companies to "get the car": "In the early stage, fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles may be deployed, but in the future, new energy vehicles may be the main one."

For Meituan, choosing Chengdu can be described as the right time and place. But it is not easy to land services in this city in the southwest.

Meituan’s previous data and offline operation and expansion capabilities were largely based on the business of takeaway, in-store service, and even other life services. Whether it was the difficulty of operation or scheduling, it had little in common with car timeshare leasing. In fact, Meituan’s test of the water is very likely to "start from scratch".

But Meituan’s internal expansion into new businesses is also very "goal-oriented", the person close to Meituan said: "Usually a goal is set first, and then external resources are found, rather than judging by how much resources the company has."

The early entry of Go Fun and Panda cars and EVcards has established certain resource barriers to varying degrees.

For example, parking stations are still a scarce resource for the time being, and developing them is not an easy task. At present, Go Fun (Beijing Shouqi Zhixing Technology Co., Ltd.), which has the largest market share in Chengdu, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shouqi Group. In February this year, Go Fun officially signed a cooperation agreement with Sichuan Transportation Investment Group and established a joint venture company, and then launched the Go Fun Sichuan Jiaotong cooperation project.

According to a local car-sharing operator in Chengdu, Sichuan Transportation Investment Group controls all public and road parking spots in the city. "It would be great if the number of on-street parking spaces could be increased, which is very helpful for improving operational efficiency."

In order to facilitate charging and changing electricity and improve operational efficiency, shared car operators generally recommend that users park their vehicles at the company’s stipulated parking spots. And the resources of such parking stations are almost exclusive to each company. At present, Panda has won more than 200 parking stations in Chengdu, each of which can accommodate 10 to 20 vehicles."After all, some of the resources in a city are limited," Zeng Hao admitted that Panda’s parking resources still need to be expanded, "but at least our stations have signed contracts, so it is more difficult for new entrants to expand parking resources in the same places."

As a unicorn whose valuation has soared to $30 billion, Meituan’s every invasion can trigger an earthquake in a specific field. According to a person familiar with Meituan’s travel business, like previous attempts at power banks and convenience stores, Meituan is just pushing forward with a test of the water for shared cars. "Whether it will be done on a large scale in the end is still uncertain."

This is the expansion logic of Meituan’s new business.

In November, Meituan announced the closure of the power bank business. Wang Huiwen, senior vice president of Meituan Review, mentioned in an internal letter that Meituan’s important basis for judging whether to close a new business or increase investment or continue to explore is, "The strategic synergy value between our existing business, if the future market size is not large enough, but the strategic synergy value is large enough, you can consider expanding operations, otherwise it should be closed."

How big is the shared car market? Previously, in an interview with a Geek Park reporter, once CEO Wang Yang used a "self-created" calculation method to roughly estimate the size of the shared car market."The number of people in China who have a driver’s license – the number of private cars in China + 20% of the limited number of people, according to the use of 4 people in a car, and then a 50% discount for urbanization (the requirement for travel), based on the rental price of 150 yuan a day in China. If these are counted as the demand for shared cars, this is about a 300 billion market."

Since 2015, a large number of test-takers have flooded into the shared car timeshare rental field. After a few years, there have been a lot of casualties, and there are very few positive cases for reference.

At the outset of the market, the participants were mixed up and each had their own plans. "Car manufacturers use their left-hand products to buy their right hands and earn subsidies, while the right-hand products are used for shared cars." A practitioner broke the news that there was even a situation in the industry where the subsidy income of new energy vehicles exceeded the income of car sales.

But starting in 2016, subsidies for new energy vehicles were fully reduced and subsidy reviews were upgraded. The "policy dividend" gradually disappeared, the bubble stirred up by the trick of cheating and subsidies was pierced, and shared cars ushered in a real corpse.

This is still a game without a clear business model. This has also directly led to the cautious attitude of capital towards the industry. Several investors contacted by Geek Park expressed their "wait-and-see attitude".

Once the heavy investment of assets, whether it can "make money" has become a harsh criterion for considering the industry, while challenging the patience of investors. The break-even line that shared cars aspire to has risen and fallen, and no explosive breakthrough has been achieved so far. An investor who focuses on the shared car sector told Geek Park: "On average, it takes three orders per car per day to make money, and the GO FUN with the highest market share in the country can reach an average of 1.5 orders."

Most of the experimenters are still looking for a breakthrough from a single city. Not long ago, TOGO Tuge CEO Wang Lifeng mentioned at the B round financing conference that Tuge has been able to "level or even start making profits" in Beijing; according to another person in charge of a shared car company who did not want to be named, they can reach four or five orders a day in a good season, with a daily profit of 150 yuan per car.

In October this year, EZZY, which was closed down after only one and a half years of operation, is a typical example. EZZY, which focuses on the mid-to-high-end market, once used the method of "not caring about wear and tear efficiency" to create the ultimate user experience. The model of "burning money" made it extremely dependent on capital. When the 40 million yuan financing was exhausted, the capital chain was broken, and the business ended.

"This is a very heavy O2O field. Although EZZY has received 40 million before, this amount is too small for this industry." The person in charge of the shared car told Geek Park.

Meituan, which just announced a $4 billion financing in October, may become a giant in this field in terms of capital volume. Once it enters the market, it also means that Meituan has further penetrated the hinterland of Didi after the taxi business.

In fact, existing players in the industry are all worried about Didi’s next move. "Compared to Meituan and Mobike, which recently announced the news, we will be more concerned about Didi’s entry. Didi has government resources, funds, and a lot of travel user data, which is likely to bring about some different changes."

Didi, which has a clear first-mover advantage, is taking action.According to a car-sharing company executive contacted by Geek Park, he has received an invitation from Didi headhunters, but after the exchange, the executive said that Didi has not disclosed the specific gameplay for the time being, "I think they may not have thought about it."

Meanwhile, as recently as November, Didi’s vice president in charge of automotive business, Yang Jun, also publicly stated that Didi wants to become an operator of new energy vehicles and charging stations – a layout that can also help Didi pave the way in the field of shared cars.

"This industry still lacks an Internet company that relies on" technology "and volume to win. At present, the policies for shared cars in various places have become clearer. The next step is to see who can do this job that requires heavy asset control capabilities and extremely refined operations." An investor who focuses on the travel sector told Geek Park.

Before there were uncertain industry attempts, followed by Didi’s strict defense, Meituan’s shared car business attempts were doomed to navigate a muddy road.

However, for the entire industry, the arrival of the era of giant invasion must not be a bad thing.

Hong Jinbao and Liang Jiahui were guests, and Lin Zhiling appeared at the Golden Horse Awards

     The awards ceremony on November 20 has entered the countdown stage, and the executive committee announced the last wave of award winners on the 17th. "Ip Man 2" and "Detectives Di Renjie" were both shortlisted for "Best Action Design" by "Big Brother" Hong Jinbao, and the long-lost Golden Horse Actor Leung Ka Hui were invited to present the awards. Lin Zhiling, who has attracted much attention, finally took a leave of absence from the crew and successfully attended the Golden Horse event. Taiwan’s potential actresses including Li Kangyi, An Yixuan, Xie Xinying, Chen Yanxi and others will serve as the introducers of the best film, marking a beautiful end to the awards ceremony.

    Hong Jinbao, who has long missed the Golden Horse Awards ceremony because of his filmmaking, has been shortlisted for two films at the same time this year. Can he win with the tiger-like "Ip Man 2" or the dazzling and brilliant "Detective Dee Renjie"? The ceremony will be announced on the same day. Hong Jinbao started working as an action director very early, and is best at neat and powerful martial arts moves with a little humor, which makes him not only occupy a unique position in Chinese movies, but also attracts Hollywood to find him for filming. This year, he specially set aside a schedule for the annual Golden Horse Awards event. In addition to paying tribute to this year’s theme – "Action", he can be called the most "weighty" awards guest this year.

    A few days ago, Chen Wenqian said on the program that "he only likes Liang Jiahui and doesn’t like Weizai", which created a lot of news topics. It can be seen that Liang Jiahui, who has been a high-quality and good man for many years, still has a place in the new generation of handsome guys. His excellent acting skills can be said to be a regular finalist for the Golden Horse Awards. Wang Xueqi, who filmed "October Siege" with him, once said that Liang Jiahui took great care of everyone on the set, and would cook chicken soup for everyone to drink from time to time, and took care of him even more.

    Sister Zhiling has performed well in movies in recent years, and many big directors have designated to cooperate with her. The brave breakthrough starring her has made everyone see her determination and strength. After the 10/1 shortlist was announced, Sister Zhiling was the first on the list of inquiries. Not only did the audience look forward to her, but the media also frequently paid attention to her movements. The public relations and jewelry industry of various clothing brands led the way, just waiting for Lin Zhiling to nod and agree to attend the award ceremony. Presumably, the starry sky will shine on the day of the ceremony, and it will be very beautiful.

    The best film introducer design that appeared for the first time last year will be held by a number of potential Taiwanese actresses including Li Kangyi, An Yixuan, Xie Xinying, Chen Yanxi and others this year. In addition to paying tribute to the shortlisted films, it also symbolizes the continuous inheritance of the film’s vitality, and can also bring a slightly relaxed atmosphere to the tense unveiling moment.

  Movie Network News(Photo/Yang Nan, Text/Zhang Wei) On October 9, Fan Bingbing and director Li Yu’s third collaboration on the new film "Second Exposure" held a press conference in Beijing. In addition to these two golden partners, Feng Shaofeng, Huo Siyan, and Kong Wei were also present to help out. Fan Bingbing praised Feng Shaofeng for being very attractive and a public enemy of men, but Feng Shaofeng was a little nervous when he first met Fan Ye, claiming that he "couldn’t let go" when filming emotional dramas.

Feng Shaofeng exposed Fan Ye’s power on the set, and he was nervous about filming emotional scenes

  Feng Shaofeng, who quickly became popular because of a travel drama "Palace", has already taken on a lot of movies, and his partner’s actress is not just Yang Mi. In the role of Overlord Xiang Yu, he plays with Liu Yifei, and when Feng Shaofeng sees Fan Bingbing, who has a strong aura, he is still taken aback. "I didn’t understand before, why should such a flowery girl be called Fan Ye? Later, when filming a scene, there was a crack in the middle of the reflector. If you don’t split it, you will wear it. Bingbing went up and’wow ‘and split it in half with her hands." Fan Bingbing explained that she was catching up at the time, and other methods were too troublesome, so she did it herself.

  Talking about the impression just met, Feng Shaofeng said that he was very nervous, "At the beginning, I was not familiar with Bingbing, and the audition was an emotional play, so I couldn’t let it go. Fortunately, Bingbing kept chatting with me and brought me into the play, and now we have a tacit understanding." And Fan Bingbing praised Feng Shaofeng as "the enemy of men", "he is a very considerate boy, and he will think of everyone in the crew."

The creators had a great conversation

Huo Siyan was drunk at the scene and "competed" with Feng Shaofeng in Fan Bingbing’s play

  Fan Bingbing and Li Yu collaborated on the previous film, which made Fan Ye take the title of after-the-film actress at the Tokyo International Film Festival. This time, Fan Bingbing said that she is no longer looking forward to the award, and she hopes that Feng Shaofeng can become the best actor with this film. Regarding "Double Exposure", Fan Bingbing said that the script is simply tailor-made for himself. "This is a role I have never played, and a Chinese film has never appeared. It is a very good thing to be able to play such a role as a Chinese actress. After reading the script at three in the morning, my back was sweaty, and I felt that everything this character said and did was describing myself."

  The title of "Double Exposure" is only tentative. The film has been publicly solicited before, and there are several candidate names. Fan Bingbing chose "Danfeng Eye", but unfortunately it was not selected, and he was still a little unwilling. The film tells the story of a childhood sweetheart but distant lovers by declassifying two suspicious murders. On that day, the creators refused to reveal too much about the plot. Huo Siyan said that she and Fan Bingbing played girlfriends, but they were also enemies and friends. Both had complex emotional entanglements with Feng Shaofeng. The film’s producer, Fang Li, also made a cameo appearance, having an affair with Kong Wei in the play. In addition, Chen Chong and Yao Anlian also joined the film.

I will answer this question

  Fan Bingbing also revealed that Huo Siyan was drunk because of filming, "She drank too much that day, and she didn’t get up for three hours. If she wanted to start filming, she said she would give me a minute, and then she didn’t get up for an hour. In fact, we drank her, and I kept telling her to drink another sip, and she was really drunk." Huo Siyan was wearing a dark V dress and hat that day, which was very eye-catching.

Douyin Ele.me takeaway new scene cooperation first in the country Nanjing: Nanjing people first experience "see and click"

  Nanjing people have become the "number one" in the country again this time: a few days ago, the takeaway scene innovation jointly launched by Douyin and Ele.me was the first to be launched in Nanjing. Through the new "see-click-reach" service jointly created by the two parties, Nanjing has since become the first city in the country to be able to watch videos and place orders for takeaway. From now on, Nanjing citizens can experience a new takeaway experience of "see-click-reach" through activities such as the "takeaway festival" held by the two platforms.

  Litchi News reporter learned that there are more than 50 brands participating in the first batch of innovation pilots, covering more than 2,000 stores: these include not only the little chef, Nanjing big-name stall, Lion King’s Mansion, agarwood duck and other Jianghuai characteristic brands, but also the national brands of major categories such as Xi Jie fried skewers and Yuan Jiyun dumplings. In addition, more than 1,000 small and medium-sized merchants in Nanjing are also among the first batch of online stores. Most of the merchants have recently made preparations for first-line stores and operation backstage, looking forward to jointly bringing different surprises to Nanjing consumers.

  Founded in Nanjing and deeply loved by local consumers, Little Chef is the first brand to successfully run the new link of "see and click" in this round of launch. In Nanjing, Little Chef has 40 stores, basically covering the whole city. For online takeaway users, it can also meet the needs of the whole city of 3-5 kilometers delivery. At present, all Nanjing stores of Little Chef can place orders through the Ele.me Mini Program on Douyin. In addition, consumers can directly click on the components in the video to place an order during the process of watching the content of Little Chef Douyin.

  "We have been operating in depth on Douyin and Ele.me platforms. We currently have nearly 500,000 fans. Ele.me is our in-depth cooperation takeaway platform. The combination of the two must be a strong alliance." Li Hongxia, vice president of Little Chef Group, said that for the launch of this new scenario service, Little Chef hopes to solve the problem of selling single items on the content platform, delivering to home and private domain retention. In addition, in special periods, Little Chef can also reach customers in a faster and more effective way and provide corresponding supporting services.

(The little chef has launched a variety of signature product packages in the new scene this time)

  Dahui Group, which was also born in Nanjing and has been established for 30 years, also participated in this innovation pilot with its three well-known brands – Nanjing Dabaidang, Lion King’s Mansion and Agarwood Duck. From Agarwood Duck, which has obtained national patents, to Nanjing Dabaidang, which focuses on local flavors in Nanjing, to Lion King’s Mansion, which is a classic Huaiyang dish, these three brands can meet the different needs of Nanjing consumers in terms of store deployment, supply, quality and service.

  "I believe this kind of cooperation will definitely provide more convenience and speed for consumers to eat at home." Xing Guangting, head of takeaway at Dahui Group, said that catering, as a traditional enterprise, has been paying attention to digital transformation in recent years. The rise of short video marketing has brought new opportunities and challenges to the catering industry. Dahui Group is very willing to try the combination of short video and takeaway to provide consumers with a new takeaway method of "instant delivery".

  In the launch process, Dahui Group took out the best-selling takeaway products of various brands, including nearly 10,000 copies of the daily signature dishes, the well-received one-person meal package, and the two-person package selected for the "takeaway festival" activities of the two platforms. At the same time, 1,500 fan gifts were specially prepared for distribution in the live stream.

(Nanjing Dabai Stall, a subsidiary of Dahui Group, focuses on Nanjing local flavors)

  "We believe that this new scenario will bring about subversive consumer innovation." Wang Kuan, founder and chairperson of Xijie Fried String, revealed that the brand has been looking forward to this new scenario cooperation for a long time. As early as August this year, when it saw the official announcement of the cooperation between the two platforms, Ele.me and Douyin, it was immediately forwarded to the company for relevant follow-up and preparation. Now the first stop of the cooperation has landed in Nanjing, which can be described as "the right time and the right place" for Xijie Fried String.

  Wang Kuan believes that in terms of the category characteristics of Sister Xi’s fried skewers, it is very compatible with the "content + takeaway" scene: consumers can see with their own eyes how the store juices and makes tofu, and hear the sizzling sound of fried skewers… These pictures are more intuitive, more attractive and infectious to consumers. When the link between planting grass and takeaway is connected, the advantages of brand products will become more prominent.

  The launch of this new scene coincides with the winter solar term and the World Cup. In order to better enhance the takeaway experience of consumers, Xijie Fried Skewers has recently developed a variety of dipping sauce products, which taste almost the same as those freshly baked in the store. In addition, for the World Cup, Xijie Fried Skewers has also developed more new flavors of fried chicken products such as garlic fried chicken and a variety of drinks, and will launch more live welfare activities during the season.

(Sister Xi’s fried skewers have specially developed a variety of dipping sauce products to enhance the taste and experience of takeaway)

  Yuan Jiyun Dumpling, a leading chain brand of dumplings in the country, is also one of the first batch of specially invited brands to participate this time. Although it is not a local brand, Yuan Jiyun Dumpling attaches great importance to the East China market and regards it as the core strategic expansion area of the brand in the next two to three years. As of now, Yuan Jiyun Dumpling has landed in 59 stores in Nanjing, and the number of stores participating in the new scene has also reached 46, which can basically achieve consumer coverage in all core areas of Nanjing.

  "We are looking forward to this cooperation to open up new consumption scenarios, bring new business possibilities, and allow our consumers to have a more innovative and smoother consumption experience." Zheng Boqi, deputy general manager of Yuan Ji Yun Dumplings and general head of mid-platform strategy, said that because consumers in the East China market have obvious preferences for Internet celebrity eating methods and new flavors compared with other regions, the products launched this time not only include classic flavors that sell well in various places such as fresh shrimp and crab seed wonton, but also new dumplings with newly developed ingredients including winter bamboo shoots and crab roe. It is expected that they will be launched in the new scene in the near future.

(Yuan Jiyun found that consumers in East China especially like to try new products and flavors)

  Regarding why the first stop of the cooperation between Douyin and Ele.me chose Nanjing, Litchi News reporters learned from the two platforms that in the early stage of the cooperation, local brands in Jiangsu were very willing to try to sign up; at the same time, Nanjing consumers’ local catering consumption potential is also very strong; in addition, Ele.me’s logistics team and logistics capabilities in Nanjing are also very mature. Under various factors, Nanjing became the first city to "see and reach".

  It is reported that the teams of both parties are currently stepping up version iterations to optimize various product functions and display experiences. It is expected that more new scene gameplay and surprise benefits will be available to Nanjing consumers with the new version in the near future.

Didi responded positively to the "flight attendant hitchhiking" case for the first time: the platform has loopholes

  China Central Broadcasting Network Beijing May 22 news, according to the voice of China "news vertical and horizontal" report, these days, Zhengzhou stewardess Didi Hitch case caused widespread discussion in the community, what are the loopholes in the management of the Didi platform? In the end is it safe to take Didi Hitch? Didi Chuxing company recently responded positively for the first time, chief development officer Li Jianhua admitted that the alleged offender in the case Liu illegally used his father’s account to receive orders and commit crimes, indicating that the platform did have loopholes before.

  Although the Didi Hitch case has passed for many days, the loopholes exposed in the case are still thought-provoking. What is the security situation of the Didi platform, and how should the safety net of Hitch and online car-hailing be woven?

  According to China Central Radio and Television CCTV, Didi Chuxing said that in order to ensure safety, taking the hitch accident as an example, it has set up five gates, including real-name verification registration, virtual middle contact phone number, facial recognition when the first order is placed, itinerary sharing, and one-click alarm. Among them, real-name verification registration is the first hurdle for driver and vehicle identity confirmation. Didi requires hitch drivers to be at least one year old. When registering, drivers must upload their ID cards, driver’s licenses, and driving licenses to the platform for three-certificate verification.

  But the alleged offender, Hitch driver Liu, only got his license at the end of December. According to the situation of the alleged offender Liu, Didi said that he must not pass the review of Didi’s driver qualification. The reason why he passed the review was because his father’s three certificates were uploaded when the account was registered.

  In addition, facial recognition must be carried out before receiving the first order after registration. Is it the father or the son who passes the facial recognition of this first order? Li Jianhua, chief development officer of Didi Chuxing, said that the registered car owner, the father of the alleged offender Liu, is compared through the facial recognition of the first order.

  However, the person who actually took the order and drove it became the son – the alleged offender Liu. "The problem is that we didn’t find that the driver who took the order was either the registered person or his father," said Li Jianhua. "But it’s not particularly clear who picked up each order."

  So, the people and cars in actual operation are not the same as when they were registered. Is it an accident in this case?

  On May 11, the day Didi issued its statement, at around 6 PM, through the Didi platform, a reporter made an appointment for an express train in Beijing, but another car arrived.

  Reporter: Master, is your tail number 98962?

  Driver: Internet Finance Center.

  Journalist: Yes.

  Driver: Get in the car!

  Reporter: But this one is written as 98962.

  Driver: I’ve changed again, tail number M5.

  It is not uncommon to encounter people and cars when ordering a car through the Didi platform. Some cars are not registered cars, and some people are not registered people. Didi driver told reporters: "I can be a car and a person. I just log in with one account, then take the order and pull it."

  Citizen 1: I found out that it was another car, which was different from the phone number and license plate number on the software. I didn’t pay much attention at the time.

  Citizen 2: He will say that I have this limit number, or that I have changed a car, which is easy to prevaricate.

  According to the drivers, no matter which car it is, no matter which person it is, as long as you log in with your registered account, the platform system will automatically assume that it is the registered person and car for dispatch and checkout. If the registration is Zhang San driving but becomes Li Si, can the Didi platform find out in this situation? Li Jianhua, chief development officer of Didi Chuxing, responded: This case shows that the platform has previously had loopholes.

  So, why did all these "barriers" to ensure safety fail in this case? Didi said that the company is now growing rapidly and on a large scale. In 2017, there were about 21 million car owners on the Didi platform. Wang Sixin, deputy director of the Department of Cultural Studies at Communication University of China, pointed out that no matter how large and fast the development scale of the enterprise, the main responsibility of the enterprise should always be put first.

  On May 16, Didi Chuxing announced rectification measures, including: all personalized tags and comment functions in the offline ride-hailing business, drivers must perform facial recognition before each order, and at the same time launch prizes for reporting people and cars that do not match on all major platforms. In addition to Didi’s self-rectification, the next step is to further strengthen supervision for the problems of people and cars that appear on the online ride-hailing platform, which is also the focus of the competent authorities.

New regulations in November: online car-hailing is included in supervision, and responsibilities for medical quality management are clarified

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 29, issue:In November, a batch of new regulations were opened, and online car-hailing was included in the supervision

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Bai Yang

  Our country’s first online car-hailing management measures are implemented, and the "threshold" for online car-hailing drivers and platforms to enter is strictly controlled; the new regulations of the National Health and Family Planning Commission require the improvement of medical safety management and the clarification of medical quality management responsibilities; the fares of short-distance routes below 800 kilometers are self-determined, and passenger travel is expected to usher in more "special tickets"… This November, a batch of new regulations on people’s livelihood that will be implemented will improve the law and make life more secure.

Known as "the most beautiful BYD", BYD Song L has pre-sold 220,000 pieces with electric tail!

[Wen/Caiquan Society & Dao Ge said Che Ma Jianyu] Since the appearance of Chengdu Auto Show, Song L, known as "the most beautiful BYD", has been widely concerned. Unlike BYD’s current models, Song L, which is a hunting SUV, is more cutting-edge and fashionable. From the consumer’s point of view, it is highly probable that it will be a model with a high return rate.

On October 31st, Song L finally started the pre-sale. Five new models were launched, with the pre-sale price range of 220,000 to 280,000 yuan, and the cruising range of 550 km /662 km /602 km was provided for different models. At the same time, it also provided 24 interest-free, three-power lifetime warranty, free OTA upgrade/car traffic, charging pile installation service within two years and replacement subsidy for this car.

It is worth mentioning that although the current product matrix of BYD Dynasty Network is relatively rich and comprehensive, it is very "regular" and lacks such "characteristic" models as Song L. Lu Tian, general manager of BYD Group’s Chaowang Sales Division, said at the press conference that Song L is Wang Chaowang’s pioneering work for the mainstream mid-to high-end market. Under the background of rapid economic development, consumer demand is constantly upgrading, and mainstream consumer families with good educational background and economic foundation have put forward higher requirements for car use. Song L is the choice for fashion families to upgrade their quality in one step, and it is also the choice for pioneer families to moderately advance their new energy experience.

Of course, as the "most beautiful BYD", Song L, together with BYD’s new platform, mature three-power system and hard-core technologies such as Yunqi C, will also form stronger product strength and provide stronger help for BYD’s sales.

"The most beautiful BYD", Song L and electric tail.

As BYD’s first hunting pure electric SUV, Song L inherits the unique "Dragon Beauty Aesthetics" of BYD Wang Chaowang in design. In the front face, the new car has added "Dragon Tooth" decorative pieces on both sides of the front grille, and with the 3D dragon whiskers of Longjing headlights, it still has the beauty of BYD’s "Dragon Beauty".

Viewed from the side, the whole body posture of Song L is dive-type, with a slip-back design and smooth lines. However, it is worth noting that, unlike other sliding back models, Song L’s sliding down starts from around C-pillar, which has the advantage of ensuring the head space of the rear passengers in the car as much as possible.

The tail is the most recognizable part of Song L. It uses segmented spoiler, double shark fin antenna and through taillight, which is officially called streamer tail light. The light sources on the left and right sides are exquisite and eye-catching. At the same time, the adaptive electric tail wing is also used. This configuration not only makes the vehicle more sporty, but also supports starting the racing mode at any time, providing continuous downforce for the vehicle, effectively reducing the drag coefficient, reducing energy consumption and improving handling.

In terms of size, the car has a length, width and height of 4840*1950*1560mm and a wheelbase of 2930mm, which is the largest among the Song series models. At the same time, it is larger than medium-sized SUVs such as Tiguan L and Tesla Model Y, and it is more like a medium-sized SUV in terms of size. Moreover, in terms of styling and price, Song L has almost no direct competitors. After all, hunting SUVs, especially hunting pure electric SUVs, are very rare in the range of 200,000-300,000 yuan.

The interior is more elegant, and the high-profile models are made of suede.

Besides being called "the most beautiful BYD", the interior of Song L is obviously more elegant. In terms of layout, Song L is still a family cockpit layout. The instrument panel creates a layered feeling through layered contrast design and different wrapping materials. The central armrest area is designed with diamond-cut electronic shift lever, mobile phone wireless charging panel and some physical buttons. BYD’s iconic interior designs such as suspended LCD instrument panel, brand-new four-spoke steering wheel and rotatable large-size central control PAD are not absent.

Although the cockpit is still familiar with the smell, the configuration has been obviously upgraded. Song L will provide AR-HUD head-up display, heat pump air conditioning, HIFI-class Dana audio system, multi-color ambient lights, panoramic images, EC adjustable panoramic canopy and other configurations. The DiLink intelligent network connection system built in the central control has also been upgraded, which comes from a 5G car cockpit platform based on deep customization of Xiaolong processor.

It is worth noting that Song L’s interior materials are also very elegant, using a combination of suede and NAPPA leather, and the soft package in the car exceeds 85%. The high-profile models also have exclusive black interiors, and the identity of the high-profile models is highlighted by fluorescent green stitching. Of course, this is more in line with the high level of 200,000 independent brands.

Yun nian c gets on the bus, and the driving quality may be pleasantly surprised.

As a model of BYD, the power system of Song L is of course a bright spot. It will provide single-motor and dual-motor versions. The four-wheel drive version is equipped with front and rear motors with maximum power of 150/230 kW respectively. According to official data, the acceleration time of the four-wheel drive version is only 4.3 seconds per 100 kilometers, and this data is quite explosive on new energy vehicles. In terms of battery life, equipped with blade battery, CLTC has a pure battery life of 550km, 602km and 662km, and Song L is equipped with silicon carbide module, which improves the comprehensive working condition efficiency to 90%+, and the energy consumption of Song L is as low as 12.8kW·h per 100 km.

At the same time, with BYD’s new platform, CTB battery body integration and hard-core technologies such as Yunqi C and iTAC intelligent torque control system, not only the safety and space of vehicles can be guaranteed, but also the driving texture of Song L will be strengthened. Among them, Yunnian -C intelligent damping body control system can adjust the damping by controlling the electromagnetic valve of the shock absorber, which can realize stepless adaptive adjustment of the damping and meet the needs of users for different scenes. It has been verified in Han and other models at present.

As for intelligent driving, Song L will be equipped with DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system, which can cover most usage scenarios and more than 30 auxiliary functions, such as high-speed assistance, intelligent navigation, automatic parking, fatigue monitoring and reminding, etc., greatly improving driving safety.

Generally speaking, as a brand-new model of BYD, Song L can be regarded as a breakthrough work of BYD, which brings a feeling completely different from the existing models. The data shows that BYD’s sales volume has exceeded 2 million vehicles during the year, firmly holding the position of the domestic automobile sales champion. However, from the perspective of Song L, BYD has obviously not become "complacent". "We also actively embrace changes and constantly seek breakthroughs," Lu Tian said.

Test-drive Starway Eta Ursae Majoris and feel how hard it is to leapfrog.

Test-drive Starway Eta Ursae Majoris and feel how hard it is to leapfrog.

  If the demotion attack is regarded as bullying, then the leapfrog attack means having enough self-confidence. When it comes to leapfrog, the first thing I think of is the brand Starway. Although Starway is a sub-brand of Chery, the cars it produces have basically achieved leapfrog, just like the previous 7-seat SUV with a class of 200,000, and the configuration is still very rich.

  Just some time ago, the appearance of Starway once again verified what is a leapfrog attack. The highest price of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is 200,000, but its target model is actually an SUV within 400,000. Such confidence is not available to any car company, so where does Starway Eta Ursae Majoris come from?

  In fact, it is not difficult to find out if we take a closer look at its configuration. The most 200,000-class model is actually equipped with an intelligent assisted driving system as high as L2.99, and it also has the blessing of CDC electromagnetic suspension system, as well as a brand-new cockpit and design language. Putting these on a car at the same time is really a little bit like dressing up as a pig to eat a tiger.

  It’s useless to talk about it. Only after driving the car and really experiencing it can we know how the so-called L2.99-level assisted driving performance is. But before driving, let’s take a brief look at the appearance and interior of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris.

Test-drive Starway Eta Ursae Majoris and feel how hard it is to leapfrog.

  Starway Eta Ursae Majoris adopts the aesthetic design language of Atlantis Light, and the whole front face will look more layered and futuristic. The air intake grille does not use the traditional modeling design, but boldly uses the borderless "Star Window" design, and the looming feeling also makes it more attractive for future technology.

  The logo in the middle can be lit, which is a continuation of the previous 400T design. Although it is not a new technology, it is also a family-style continuation and inheritance.

  A rose gold color decorative strip symbolizing nobility is added above the penetrating LED headlights, which instantly enhances its temperament. X-shaped daytime running lights are also more exaggerated and fierce. In addition, the car is equipped with three light language configurations for the first time, which is definitely one of the few configurations in the same class or even 300,000-class models.

  Starway Eta Ursae Majoris adopts a slip-back design, especially the rear part of the car creates a feeling of tightening with lines, which makes it look more sporty and youthful. The drag coefficient of this car is 0.326cd, which is not comparable to that of new energy vehicles, but it is not high in the same class of fuel vehicles.

  In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris are 4781x1920x1671mm and the wheelbase is 2815mm, respectively. Although it is not a new energy model, the hidden door handle still appears on this model. The car will be equipped with 20-inch wheels, and the matching Michelin tires are 245/50 R20 to maximize the comfort and quietness of the vehicle.

  The shape of the rear of the car has added more rounded designs. The penetrating taillight group not only plays a layered role, but also has the function of signal language. At present, there are only three signal languages, and if there are any new ones, they can also be directly upgraded through OTA.

  The exhaust design of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris is a style of two-way four-way, but this is only for decoration. The actual exhaust is two-way double-way, but the exhaust of four-way looks really enough for fighting. Moreover, the unique top spoiler is designed like an airplane tail, which gives you the feeling of flying into the sky and looking for stars in the sky.

  The interior adopts the design of the embracing cockpit, and the 24.6-inch high-definition curved screen is also essential, which not only increases the sense of technology, but also minimizes the number of buttons in the car. In terms of materials, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is not soft at all. It not only uses a lot of soft bag materials, but also adds Nappa leather for embellishment. This material and workmanship can really be used as a benchmark for leapfrog products.

  The steering wheel adopts a flat-bottomed sports design, and the two-spoke design is also very scientific and technological. The above multi-function buttons all adopt touch-control design, and the technical attributes have indeed been improved a lot, but relatively speaking, it will also increase the chances of some misoperation, and the panel is really easy to leave fingerprints.

  The central control screen adopts Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 car gauge chip, which has a very high operating fluency, and it also integrates many car functions, including mobile phone interconnection, online entertainment, APP download, driver assistance function setting, air conditioning, voice interaction, etc., with a very high degree of integration.

  Three knobs and two toggle buttons are designed at the bottom of the screen, which has the feeling of an airplane cockpit, and the outward protruding design is also a big surprise. Here, the knobs on the left and right sides and the toggle button are used to control the adjustment of air conditioning, and the knob in the middle is the switching knob of driving mode.

  Because the arms are used, the central passage becomes a huge storage space, and it is designed with a sliding cover, which can be closed when not in use, which can effectively increase the overall feeling of the vehicle. When it is opened, it will change two cup holders and a storage box in seconds.

  The seat adjustment of the car is designed on the door panel, which makes it easier to operate. Moreover, all four doors are designed with electric door opening switches, which directly improves the sense of science and technology to a higher level. However, for the sake of safety, the traditional mechanical handle has also been retained.

  The comfort of the front seats is really high. The main driver supports electric adjustment, seat heating, ventilation and memory functions, and has leg adjustment and waist adjustment. The headrest is also integrated with speakers, which can better ensure the driver to hear the prompts and navigation broadcasts.

  The function of the co-pilot seat is more comprehensive. In addition to electric adjustment, heating and ventilation, there is also a massage function. At the same time, leg rests and foot rests also appear in the co-pilot seat, so it is no exaggeration to call it "the queen’s co-pilot".

  The riding comfort of the rear seats is really high, and the seat cushion and backrest are beyond many models at the same level. The softness is really unknown, and it also has the adjustment of the electric backrest, which is much higher than many manual adjustments.

  In terms of driving experience, the car uses a 2.0T engine and 7DCT powershift, with a maximum output of 192kW and a maximum torque of 400 N m.. This power system is actually very strong, but it may take care of the needs of more drivers and passengers, so the engine power output will be a little slow, but it is still completely acceptable.

  If you switch to sports mode, the throttle response time will be improved a lot instantly, and the feeling of acceleration is very linear, but the noise will be a bit high, but fortunately it is also within the acceptable range.

  The shifting logic of the transmission is actually very clever, but when the vehicle is going downhill, it will occasionally upshift itself, which is still a bit strange. Shifting paddles really add a lot of driving pleasure, especially when driving on mountain roads, and the playability is instantly improved.

  There are seven driving modes to choose from, namely, economy, standard, sports, snow, mud, sand and off-road, and when each mode is switched, there will be a corresponding screen on the central control screen, which is quite interesting design.

  In addition, this car is equipped with a four-wheel drive system. Although we didn’t have any chance to feel its four-wheel drive capability this time, we have felt the power of its four-wheel drive system in the venue test drive before. If you are interested, you can take a look at our previous test drive.

  In addition, the top model of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is equipped with CDC electromagnetic suspension, which can filter out the vibration of the road surface very well, especially on the gravel road surface, and the effect is very obvious.

  However, this suspension also has a small problem, that is, the support for the roll is not as good as expected. Although it can be felt that the chassis is fighting against the roll, the effect is not particularly obvious. I hope it can be adjusted more later, which will bring a better driving experience.

  In terms of assisted driving, Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris has indeed achieved the leading level in its class. It not only has a 540 transparent chassis, but also has lane keeping, lane departure warning, fatigue monitoring, rear car warning, front collision warning, ACC adaptive cruise, lane change assistance, traffic sign recognition and so on. Basically, we can find everything we can think of in Eta Ursae Majoris, which is really worthy of praise and recommendation.

  In addition, the car is also equipped with a HUD, which can display the driving information of the vehicle, including speed, speed, road traffic signs, etc., and can also directly display the navigation information, which is convenient for the driver to observe, so as to maximize the driving safety.

  Summary:

  As a 200,000-class medium-sized SUV, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris did not compare itself with the same-price model, but instead set its goal on the 400,000-class model. This leapfrog comparison is really rare, but Starway Eta Ursae Majoris has proved that it can do it with its own strength and configuration. At present, the car has been delivered to users on a large scale, and we are also expecting that more car companies will set their sights on the longer term and win the market with more practical configurations in the future.
