How to reduce the risks that women may encounter when riding Didi Hitch is one of the topics that the public is most concerned about. There is still a lot of confusion in Didi to solve the problem of women’s car safety. Therefore, there is no clear time for Didi Hitch to go live.
Is Didi Hitch coming back? After 325 days offline, Didi Hitch recently held its first media open day. Zhang Rui, general manager of Didi Chuxing Hitch’s business unit, shared the progress of nearly a year of safety rectification, saying that "the essence of Hitch is the way to go"; but he also revealed that Didi Hitch has no clear launch time. "When it will be launched, I have no idea."
For Didi, whether Hitch can "return", safety is an inescapable topic. Zhang Rui introduced that the core of safety rectification is to ensure that Hitch is a shared ride on the way, so the real journey, real identity verification and peace of mind throughout the process have become the main content of rectification.
"In order to ensure the real journey, we have removed the function of receiving orders nearby. The owner can only set a limited number of commonly used locations first, such as home, company or school. When publishing the journey, the starting and ending points must be commonly used locations, and the number of rides per day is also limited. In terms of real identity verification, not only do all users have to pass real-name authentication, but the owner also needs multiple facial recognition in the registration, order receiving and driving links. At the same time, an information verification card is also designed. Once the order is established, the information of the owner and the passenger will be sent to the other party’s mobile phone. Passengers can verify whether the owner’s information is consistent with the verification card before boarding the car." Zhang Rui said that Didi Hitch will permanently log off user privacy information, such as custom avatars, gender, nicknames and even long text comments. In addition, even if the practice runs in the future, daytime and urban scenes will be opened first.
How to reduce the risks that women may encounter when riding Didi Hitch is one of the topics that the public is most concerned about. According to Zhao Jianong, safety product manager of Didi Chuxing Hitch Division, through the safety assistant function of the women’s exclusive protection plan, female passengers and female car owners can see a series of information about the ride-sharing user, such as the driving age of the current owner, the age of the car, and the time of facial recognition.
However, Didi also admitted that there is still a lot of confusion in solving the safety problem of female passengers. "Many people suggest that only female drivers should be allowed to pick up female passengers, but female drivers only account for 5%, and female passengers account for more than half. In addition, if it is set up like this, once someone impersonates a female car owner, it will be easier to find female passengers," He Di, head of Didi Hitch products, said.
At present, new players in the hitchhiking industry are constantly entering the game. In February this year, Hello Hitchhiking was officially launched nationwide. Data show that from February 1 to February 10 this year, the average carpooling distance of Hello Hitchhiking reached 126.7 kilometers per day, the average carpooling time was 143.3 minutes, and the average fare was 122.6 yuan. In early June, a poster released by Autonavi Map showed that Hitchhiking owners would be recruited in Guangdong Province and Wuhan City; DingTalk connected to the Hitchhiking service of TikTok and Hello in Hangzhou.
Sun Naiyue, a travel industry analyst at Analysys, a market research firm, said this was because there was still a large market demand for Hitch. "In terms of price, Hitch has its advantages, especially for long-distance passengers. For private car owners, it is better to use Hitch to subsidize fuel costs and earn extra money. In addition, compared with private cars, Hitch has a lighter business model and less upfront investment."
However, Didi, which has lingering fears, is clearly still very torn about whether Hitch will "return". Liu Qing, president of Didi Chuxing, said that there is "a huge controversy" within Didi over whether the Hitch business will go live. "The Hitch business has 1 million to 2 million orders every day, accounting for only 5% to 10% of the platform’s business volume. For the sake of the Hitch business, should the platform bear the risk of’returning to zero ‘?" She also said that the increased security measures may make Didi Hitch "the most difficult Hitch product to use" in terms of user experience.
Cheng Wei, CEO of Didi Chuxing, said that in the past year, Didi has gradually realized that it is not only a technology innovation enterprise, but also a social service enterprise. This year, Didi’s budget for safety is 2 billion yuan, including investment in products, online new driver service managers, etc. "The inner standard of all Didi people is that every product we make can be used by our own family and friends with confidence, which is our responsibility." From such a statement, the road back to Didi Hitch is still long. (Reporter, Chen Jing)
The intelligent driving that you can enjoy when you pick up the car, NCA, Huawei’s high-level intelligent driving city, has been fully upgraded recently, without relying on high-precision maps, so that all the main roads and branches of Zhijie S7 can be opened in 40,000+cities and towns across the country. In actual use, the success rate of smart driving urban elevated import/export is up to 99.2%. Intelligent parking supports parking on behalf of drivers, parking service and remote parking, and covers complex special-shaped parking spaces such as ultra-narrow parking spaces and mechanical parking spaces, which can be stopped by opening and stopping.
Intelligent driving is not showmanship, but safety is the true meaning. The omni-directional anti-collision system CAS2.0 protects driving safety in all directions-the effective range of forward AEB is 4-150km/h, and the maximum braking speed is 120 km/h. The effective range of lateral active avoidance is 40-130km/h, and water horses, rows of cones, kerbs, static and dynamic pedestrians, static and dynamic vehicles are actively identified. Backward active safety supports 1-60km/h active braking, actively identifies pedestrians crossing, moving two-wheeled vehicles and vehicles crossing, and reduces the accident probability.
Zhijie S7 Ultra is equipped with a 100kWh battery pack, and the comprehensive cruising range of CLTC reaches 751 kilometers. In terms of passive safety and battery safety, the body of Zhijie S7 meets the C-NCAP five-star collision safety standard and the C-IASI collision safety requirements of China Insurance Research Institute. The battery pack is equipped with 13 layers of hard-core safety protection, which will not deform or catch fire during collision and bottoming.
As the first smart car, Zhijie S7 has been deeply empowered by Huawei in the fields of product definition, ID design, software and hardware development, etc. For example, Zhijie S7 comes standard with HUAWEI DriveONE 800V high-voltage silicon carbide high-efficiency power platform, with the fastest acceleration of 3.3s per 100 kilometers, the lowest power consumption per 100 kilometers and the longest cruising range of 855km. After the super power-saving mode 2.0 is turned on, the comprehensive cruising range of the vehicle can be improved by up to 10%, and the cruising range can be improved by one button. At the same time, Zhijie S7 is equipped with Huawei Turing intelligent chassis for the first time, and has been jointly adjusted by Huawei German Research Institute to intelligently control performance and calmly cope with various working conditions.
It is worth mentioning that the Super Desktop 2.0 of HarmonyOS 4 system in the intelligent cockpit of Zhijie S7 supports the full boarding of mobile phone applications, and HUAWEI MagLink can expand the screen for the back row. It has the ability of data transmission encryption, sensitive authority management and control, and personal data isolation, and is fully protected against network attacks and has no worries about privacy. In addition, in-vehicle intelligent assistant Xiaoyi will be connected to Huawei Pangu model in May and become a smarter private car consultant.
The appearance of the new car adopts the "Dragon Face" design, and the overall look is more refined. The large mouth air intake grille is very family-recognizable, and the air inlets on both sides are increased.
