Historical review of four generations of land rover discovery with iconic body structure

  [Car History] In June 1970, a model named Range Rover was launched, which subverted people’s impression that Land Rover has always been rough and informal. After the birth of Range Rover, it became another hot-selling Land Rover model, which won an excellent reputation for Land Rover. After a lapse of 19 years, Land Rover built a new model based on the Range Rover chassis under the premise of lack of funds-Land Rover Discovery. From the moment the discovery was born, its uniqueness made it the focus of the world’s attention. After 25 years of continuous development of four generations of vehicles, the positioning of Land Rover discovery has been continuously improved, and the only constant is the iconic appearance structure.

(1989-1998)
Originated from Land Rover Range Rover, creating a unique body structure.

The first generation of Land Rover (imported) discovered the classic models in the past.

  In the mid-1980s, Land Rover urgently needed a new model to occupy the increasingly hot SUV market together with Range Rover. However, a new car needs a lot of research and development cycles and funds, which are obviously difficult for Land Rover to achieve. The new car project is imminent. Land Rover, led by Tony Gilroy, used all available funds. The team decided to choose a chassis between the existing Land Rover 110 (Defender) and the Range Rover to develop new models. Finally, the team chose the Range Rover with better road driving performance.

The first generation of Land Rover (imported) discovered the classic models in the past.

  Land Rover’s new car project was named Project Jay, and the sludge model of the car was completed in 1986. The designer built a stepped roof on the chassis of Range Rover, with headlights from Leland Sherpa truck and taillights from Austin Maestro truck. Although designers have racked their brains to make the new car different from the Range Rover, it is inevitable that the car is too similar in size to the Range Rover. In June 1989, Land Rover launched a new model after the Range Rover which was born in 1970-Land Rover Discovery.

The first generation of Land Rover (imported) discovered the classic models in the past.

  The first generation of Land Rover found that there was only one three-door model at the beginning of listing. Although it was based on the Range Rover chassis, its chassis, steering and braking systems were not modified, and the suspension laid a good foundation for discovering and conquering various road conditions. LT230T four-wheel drive is equipped with low-speed four-wheel drive, high-speed four-wheel drive and locking function. It is found that the main difference between the chassis structure and the Range Rover is that it does not use the automatic leveling system of the rear wheel of the Range Rover and the new pressed steel rim, but the carefully designed Land Rover finds that the price is lower than that of the Range Rover. In terms of body size, the first generation Land Rover found that it was 4539mm long, 1793mm wide, 1966mm high and 2540mm high.

  Thanks to the unique stepped roof design, the first generation Land Rover found that it has a high degree of recognition, and the invisible B-pillar design of the three-door model outlines the intriguing lines of the whole vehicle. At the beginning, in order to make the discovery different from the Range Rover, the designer integrated the side window design on both sides of the stepped roof, so that people no longer focused on whether the body size was similar to the Range Rover. The rear-mounted spare tire can be said to be a major feature of off-road vehicles, and the unique rear window shape has also become another major feature.

  In terms of interior, the first generation found that consumers can choose a variety of interior colors, the most representative of which is the interior color called sonar blue, and its center console, steering wheel and door panel are made of blue plastic. In order to reduce the cost of R&D and manufacturing, it was found that the internal structure was similar to that of Range Rover. All switches and instrument lights came from Rover’s Maestro and Montego models. The first generation found that the interior was quite simple, and the two-spoke steering wheel had a strong grip. A large number of function keys were gathered on both sides of the instrument panel, and the functional area of the center console was not rich. The left side of the air-conditioning panel was an electronic clock, the right side was a cigarette lighter, and the audio panel was located upward below the air-conditioning panel. Although it is found to be an SUV that is biased towards road driving, the handle in front of the co-pilot of the center console still highlights its wild side.

  Compared with Range Rover, it is found to be more like a station wagon. The seven-seat design greatly improves the utilization rate of its interior space. The interior ceiling is equipped with a storage mesh bag, and the double skylight design is also refreshing. The charm of Land Rover’s discovery lies not only in its unique design, but also in its price. Compared with the Range Rover with a starting price of 23,784, the price found was only 15,750, and this pricing also enabled it to sell 20,000 vehicles in the first year. However, in order to widen the gap with the higher-priced Range Rover, it was found that it was initially equipped with a 3.5-liter V8 pair with a maximum of 145 horsepower, and there was also a 2.5-liter direct injection to choose from, with a maximum power of 111 horsepower and a maximum power of 203 N m.

  Although the three-door version has outstanding interior space, the three-door layout of such a practical model obviously does not maximize the practicality, so it is imperative to develop the traditional five-door version. In 1990, that is, only one year after the first generation was listed, it was discovered that the five-door edition was officially met with the public. It is found that the appearance of the five-door version is consistent with that of the three-door version. The only difference is that the part that was originally "wasted" was replaced by the back door. 3.5-liter V8 fuel injection replaced the original carburetor engine, the maximum torque was increased from 260N·m to 288N·m, and the exhaust emissions were also reduced.

  At the same time, in order to meet the different needs of consumers, Land Rover launched a series of optional services for discovery, including and exhaust catalytic converters. As for the transmission system, it was found that only 5-speed was initially equipped, and the 4-speed provided by ZF began to be equipped on V8 gasoline engine models in 1992 and applied to Tdi diesel engine models in 1993. In the same year, the 3.9-liter V8 gasoline engine used in the Range Rover also began to be discovered and adopted. Since then, it is not uncommon for this kind of priority to supply the Range Rover and to be discovered and inherited.

  It was not until the early 1990s that Land Rover became interested in its four-wheel drive models, which had a strategic alliance with Leyland. Honda noticed that Land Rover found that sales were extremely hot, and it was particularly jealous of the great success of competitors such as Hehe in the field of off-road vehicles, so it finally decided to produce the OEM model discovered by Land Rover-Ross Road. The car is only sold in Japan, which is also the first overseas model sold under a Japanese brand. Honda Crossroad only has a 3.9-liter V8 gasoline engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Except for the logo, Honda Crossroad and Land Rover find no difference.

  Also in 1993, Land Rover introduced the discovery of a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine. This power system originated from Rover T16 car. Because of its complex structure and high speed, it is not common in four-wheel drive vehicles that focus on multi-road driving. Although this 2.0-liter engine is powerful, its torque is far less than that of V8 gasoline engine and Tdi turbocharged diesel engine. In the same year, Land Rover launched the Discovery Commercial Edition in order to create a market segment. The car was built on the basis of the Discovery Three-door Edition. The rear seat was cancelled and a closed carriage was adopted, which greatly improved the loading capacity. The mechanical structure was consistent with that of the ordinary version. Consumers could choose gasoline or diesel engines. The car was born just in time for the discovery of a small change, and the headlight size was increased. In order to cope with the new regulations, the brake lights were moved to both sides of the rear bumper, the driver became standard, and the blue interior was no longer used.

  At this time, Land Rover found that its position in the market of similar vehicles has been hard to shake, and the sales volume of diesel vehicles is nearly four times higher than that of gasoline vehicles. In order to improve the attractiveness of gasoline vehicles to consumers and balance sales volume, Land Rover launched a new 3.9-liter V8 engine for discovery, and the maximum power of the engine was increased from the previous 164 horsepower to 180 horsepower. Only a five-door version found that this new engine was used, and some people even worried that its appearance would affect the sales volume of Range Rover. In 1994, Land Rover entered the North American market for the first time with this model, and it was awarded the title of four-wheel drive of the year with its richer standard configuration and outstanding performance.

  Five years after the first generation of Land Rover was found on the market, Land Rover released a modified model with internal code name "Romulus", which was found to be equipped with a brand-new hood, headlights, front bumper, taillights integrated on the rear bumper and carbon black wheels. The new center console has a more rounded shape, and the overall style tends to be sedan. It adopts the steering wheel style of Rover 800 and is equipped with front airbags. Anti-lock braking system has become the standard of ES flagship model, and other models can be equipped with this safety configuration. In terms of diesel vehicles, 300Tdi replaced the original 200Tdi. Although it belongs to a 2.5-liter turbocharged diesel engine, its performance and exhaust emissions are even better. The 5-speed manual gearbox was replaced by R380 from the previous LT77/LT77S, with smoother shifting and lower noise. After its launch, it quickly became a hot-selling model in the first generation of discovery families.

  While the first generation found hot sales, Land Rover also launched several special editions, including GoodWood commemorative edition, Horse&Hound edition, Camel Trophy racing edition and 50th anniversary edition. Among them, the most striking is the Camel Cup. Camel Cup is a world cross-country race jointly sponsored by Camel, a well-known tobacco company. Land Rover soon set its sights on this challenging South American rainforest race. Land Rover Range Rover took a dominant position in the second race in 1981. During the 16 years of Camel Cup, all Land Rover models won the title of champion, including the first generation discovery. It was found that Camel Cup racing car was painted with the iconic yellow paint, and necessary modifications were made for the race, including the front bumper, wading throat, roof rack, and so on. The chassis and mechanical structure were the same as those of mass production models. With nearly the same chassis structure and lower price as the Range Rover, the first generation Discovery quickly became the main model of the Land Rover family from its birth in 1989 to its official suspension in 1998.

Biden announced his withdrawal from the election and shocked all parties! US media: He became the first incumbent US president to give up his re-election opportunity in 56 years.

  [Feng Yaren, special correspondent of the Global Times in the United States, and Ren Zhong, special correspondent of the Global Times] Under the strong pressure within the Democratic Party, US President Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 US presidential election in a statement on the afternoon of July 21, local time, and expressed support for Vice President Harris to take over the nomination of the Democratic Party and run for the presidency. The US media said that this decision marked the rapid and shocking end of Biden’s 52-year electoral political career, and Biden became the first incumbent president to give up his re-election opportunity in 56 years. The last person who gave up re-election was President lyndon johnson, who was mired in the Vietnam War. In March 1968, he announced that he would not seek another term. For Biden’s withdrawal from the election, former US President Barack Obama praised his decision and said that "Biden is a patriot of the highest level". Democratic Senator Bennett said Biden’s withdrawal gave the Democratic Party a "chance to beat Trump". However, Republican presidential candidate Trump criticized Biden as the worst president in American history. He also said that Harris will be more easily defeated than Biden. The New York Times commented that Biden led the United States out of the epidemic and the ensuing economic turmoil, but his hope of bridging the widening rift in the United States during Trump’s administration has been shattered, and American society is still seriously polarized. At the same time, Biden’s decision subverted the campaign and laid the foundation for an unprecedented noisy and unpredictable campaign in modern history. Harris has only 107 days left to consolidate the support of Democrats and establish himself as a credible national leader.

  

  Announce online instead of facing the camera

  "Being your president is the greatest honor in my life." Biden said in a letter posted on social media, "Although I have always intended to seek re-election, I believe that it is in the best interests of my party and country to withdraw from the election and focus on fulfilling my duties as president during the remaining term." Later, he posted on social media that he fully supported the nomination of Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate. He also called on Democrats to unite to defeat Republican presidential candidate Trump.

  Since his poor performance in the first TV debate at the end of June, Biden has faced increasing pressure within the Democratic Party. According to US media reports, former President Obama and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi are privately worried about whether Biden can win this autumn’s general election. Senate Majority Leader Schumer and House Minority Leader jeffries persuaded Biden to quit gracefully, while angry "financiers" threatened to refuse to provide funds.

  Although Biden has always insisted that he will not withdraw from the election, the situation changed last weekend. The New York Times quoted an anonymous source as saying that Biden began to change his mind last Saturday. He stayed at his home in Delaware with his family and three assistants, and later called in his long-term adviser, Mike donilon. Because he was still ill, he chose not to make a statement of withdrawal in front of the camera, but wrote the above letter with donilon. According to the report, Biden made up his mind on Sunday morning local time, and separately called Harris, White House Chief of Staff Zintz and Jennifer o’malley Tommy Tam, chairman of his campaign team, to reveal the decision. At 1: 46 pm, the letter was posted online.

  After Biden announced his withdrawal from the election, Harris issued a statement thanking Biden and said, "I am honored to get the support of the president, and my purpose is to win this nomination." Schumer praised Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election, calling Biden "a true patriot and a great American".

  According to Reuters’s report on the 21st, many politicians also reacted to Biden’s decision to withdraw from the election. British Prime Minister Stamer said in a statement: "I respect President Biden’s decision and look forward to working together for the rest of his presidency." Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez said on the social platform: "I admire and recognize President Biden’s brave and solemn decision."

  In an interview with NBC, Trump responded to Biden’s withdrawal, saying, "No president has ever done so much damage to our country, and we will correct what he did." House Speaker Johnson wrote on the social platform: "If Biden is not suitable for running for the presidency, then he is not suitable for the presidency. He must resign immediately. "

  A group of Democrats expressed their support for Harris.

  Washington post said on the 21st that after Biden decided to stop running for re-election, there were two ways to choose a candidate who could replace him as the Democratic presidential candidate. One is virtual voting. Representatives of the Democratic Party decided on a new presidential candidate in early August through online voting. The US media said that this process is likely to benefit Harris to avoid conflicts at the Democratic National Convention.

  If the Democratic Party does not hold a virtual vote, or fails to reach a consensus on a new candidate before the National Congress is held on August 19th, then the final candidate needs to be selected at the meeting. Washington post said that because the final nominator needs more than half of the thousands of delegates attending the meeting, there is a high probability that there will be multiple rounds of voting. "Although this is likely to be a wonderful TV program, it is by no means an ideal situation to have a party split at the conference site."

  Despite Biden’s support, Harris has not yet secured the Democratic nomination. The Wall Street Journal said on the 22nd that representatives of the Democratic National Committee are free to vote for the people of their choice. California Governor Newsom, Michigan Governor Whitmer, Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro and Illinois Governor Pritzker are all strong contenders. Selecting candidates from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio or other "rust belt" States can help Democrats win over key voters.

  According to The New York Times, four influential figures in the Democratic Party did not immediately express their support for Harris. Among them was former President Obama, who made no mention of Harris or any other candidate in his statement after Biden announced his withdrawal. In addition, Schumer, jeffries and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi have not expressed their support for Harris. CNN said that the reason why these top Democratic Party members did not express their position immediately was to avoid appearing that they would force Harris to become a presidential candidate to voters too quickly.

  However, The New York Times and other American media believe that Harris is still the most likely candidate. Former President Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and at least dozens of Democratic Party members have publicly expressed their support for Harris. Some Democrats who are considered as potential rivals or running mates in Harris’ party have also joined the ranks of supporting Harris, including Arizona Senator Kelly, Transportation Minister Butigig, California Governor Newsom and Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro.

  "Harris and Biden are no different"

  According to the Wall Street Journal reported on the 22nd, Harris and her allies took action on the 21st to consolidate the support of the "big money owners". She and her husband had many private conversations with the rich who had supported her that day. According to CNN, Biden’s campaign team submitted a written document to the Federal Election Commission on the 21st, requesting to change the name of the team to "Harris Presidential Campaign Committee". According to the Campaign Law Center, this means that if Harris stays on the list of candidates for the general election, she can control Biden’s campaign account, which had nearly $96 million in cash at the end of June. The New York Times said that in an internal conference call, the head of Biden’s campaign team told the staff that they would now work for Harris.

  Washington post reported on the 21st that although Biden has supported Harris to replace him as the Democratic presidential candidate, a recent poll found that there is no difference between Harris and Biden when facing Trump. After summarizing the recent 11 polls, the newspaper found that Trump led Harris by an average of 1.5 percentage points, only slightly lower than his advantage of 1.9 percentage points ahead of Biden.

  Sources told Reuters that the Trump campaign had been preparing for Harris’s possible "rise" for several weeks, and that immigration and economic policies were closely linked, and it was planned to try to link her with Biden’s immigration and economic policies. CNN quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Trump’s team is planning to launch a series of negative advertisements to attack Harris in the above areas. Reuters said that the Trump team also produced advertisements accusing Harris of hiding Biden’s health problems from the public. "Look what she has done: border invasion, runaway inflation, and the American dream is shattered." The voice in the advertisement said.

  However, the report also quoted political strategists as saying that Harris, as the Democratic presidential candidate, may change the campaign situation in unexpected ways. A 59-year-old black Asian woman will create a new dynamic with 78-year-old Trump. The United States has never elected a female president in its 248-year history. It is wrong for the Trump campaign to think that Harris can be Biden’s simple body double, because she has potential appeal to different voters.

Analysis of the official map of the new generation Honda Accord with Gemini in battle

    [XCAR official map analysis original]

    As a heavyweight model of Honda brand, Accord officially released the official picture of the 2013 model last week. At the same time, the 2013 model is also the ninth generation model in the Accord. The official map released this time shows us two models: one is the ordinary four-door sedan version, and the other is the Coupe version which is very similar to the concept version of the Accord coupe released by Honda at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year. Among them, the four-door sedan version will be officially made in China next year. Below we will give a detailed introduction to the two models.

Analysis of 2013 Accord Official Map

    Judging from the official pictures, the overall design style of the ninth-generation Honda Accord continues the stability of the eighth-generation model, but also highlights the sports style. The design of the front face is more passionate, and there are many changes compared with the eighth generation models.

Analysis of 2013 Accord Official Map

    First of all, let’s look at the changes in the air intake grille. The ninth generation of Accord still uses a double-width chrome-plated air intake grille, but the difference with the eighth generation is that it adopts a horizontal design. At the same time, the upper chrome-plated decorative strip was also cancelled, while the wide U-shaped chrome-plated decorative strip added below was connected with the engine cover in response to the headlights. The lines on the inner side of the U-shaped chrome-plated decorative strip also extend upward to the hood, forming two protruding rib lines, which makes the strength of the front of the car feel spontaneously.

    The new headlight design is more slender than the eighth generation model, and the internal structure of the headlight has also changed, and LED daytime running lights have also been added.

    The design of the front bumper is also very clear and concise, and the redesigned rectangular fog light is clearly distinguished from the black honeycomb lower air intake grille to form an integral area.

    When we come to the side of the car body, we can find that the slightly dry side line of the car body on the eighth generation model has disappeared, and it has been replaced by a line design that highlights the outline. In addition, the turn signal integrated in the exterior rearview mirror is designed to be slimmer, which is similar to the hidden design.

    The most prominent point in the reinterpretation of the tail is the design of the taillights. The brand-new taillights still use red and white color matching design, and LED light sources are added inside the lamp group. The tail light group extending to the trunk lid makes the tail more atmospheric and stable.

    The newly added chrome-plated decorative strip above the license plate frame connects the taillights, which makes the tail feel luxurious. At the same time, the design of the rear bumper is more concise than that of the eighth generation models, eliminating complicated lines and feeling more solid. Slim reflective strips are also added above the exhaust pipes with single outlet on both sides to improve the safety during driving.

    In terms of wheels, the nine-generation Accord model adopts ten-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, which is more restrained than the seven-spoke aluminum alloy wheels of the eight-generation model.

20 songs in 20 years: the whole network writes AI and sings Wenbo.

The Reverse Charm of AI Music

Intelligent composition style is changeable.

"It’s really unexpected. I didn’t expect AI to use rap to present the lyrics of a classical Chinese genre. I feel very nice and cool!" Liu Yuxin, the lyricist of the song Wenbo Fu, told reporters that her lyrics were inspired by Preface to Tengwang Pavilion, and the genre of parallel prose was very suitable for describing this vast cultural event, while AI was presented with the latest rap, which collided with a surprising spark. The reporter learned that Liu Yuxin, a graduate student at China Agricultural University, flew from Beijing to Shenzhen to participate in the activities.

Luo Shutong, who is only 12 years old, is the lyricist of the song "A Journey to Wenbo". According to reports, "AI Taizi" has tailored Chinese pop-style tunes for Luo Shutong’s lyrics. In an interview with a journalist, she shared that the lyrics were inspired by her novel experience of participating in the ICIF. When she first heard the music written by AI for herself, she was attracted by its light melody. "The tunes created by’ AI Taizi’ exceeded my expectations and were refreshing."

ICIF, the "Art Surfing Area"

Let the music "immerse itself in the end"

The audience auditioned AI to create songs at the ICIF site.

"In the past, I heard about martial arts, but now there are cultural fairs", "Hundreds of rivers gather in the sea of passion, and the world shares the splendor of civilization", "Who will freeze the creativity into a picture of the times, sail on the Silk Road, and make civilization far away" … Twenty songs dedicated to the ICIF were officially sung at the press conference, and the lyricists shared their wonderful stories with the ICIF through lyrics, and AI created songs with different styles according to the lyrics. At the booth of Shenzhen Newspaper Group in Hall 14 of ICIF, the audience can experience the charm of the integration of music and technology in an immersive way.

Explore the future of AI music

Everyone can be a creator.

"Through the invitation to write lyrics on the whole network, we have gathered the wisdom and enthusiasm of many creators. It was also composed by Tencent Music’s Qixing platform AI, and Tianqin Lab AI became a song, which together created 20 songs full of creativity and appeal. " Chen Feifei, vice president of public relations for QQ music market of Tencent Music Entertainment Group, said that with the blessing of AI, ordinary music lovers can also participate in high-quality cultural creation and express their beauty with music.

AI takes the son to assist!

New Opportunities for Future Professional Practitioners

"AI music is the current craze, and we find that AI creation is really convenient and very rich." Night Xiaomei, the manager of the Golden Snail Lyrics label of Shenzhen Hezong Culture Group, which was awarded as an excellent organization, said that for professional practitioners, AI is more instrumental, and it is expected that the intervention of AI will allow more fine products to emerge.

It is worth mentioning that in this music creation, the AI creative partner "unique AI" became the "composer". From Chinese pop full of oriental charm to rhythmic blues, various styles of AI "partners" can be easily switched, and it is expected that AI partners will bring colorful auditory feasts to the audience in the future.


2.7 million riders, so that "flash" is no longer science fiction?

Same city delivery, when was the last time you used it?

Recently, BingEx Limited started PDIE (investor education before trading), which is regarded as an important step before IPO.

As of June 30, 2024, Flash disclosed that it had about 2.7 million registered riders.

If the listing is successful, it means that 2.7 million registered riders will hold up an IPO.

According to the prospectus, in the first half of 2021 -2024, the revenue of flash delivery reached 3.040 billion yuan, 4.003 billion yuan, 4.529 billion yuan and 2.284 billion yuan respectively, and the corresponding net profit was-291 million yuan,-180 million yuan, 110 million yuan and 124 million yuan.

This means that since 2023, Flash will begin to turn losses into profits.

However, the media also found that the reason for turning losses is not the increase in business income, but the increase in government subsidies.

In the prospectus, Flash said that the profit in 2023 was mainly due to the increase of government subsidies, which increased other income from 9.2 million yuan in 2022 to 74.32 million yuan, and the operating profit related to the operating conditions was only 11 million yuan.

According to the data of the third party iResearch, according to the revenue in 2023, Flash Delivery is the largest independent express delivery service provider in China, with a market share of about 33.9%.

According to the prospectus, unit economic benefit and replicable network are the core competitive advantages of Flash, which enables the company to continuously expand its scale and order volume and improve its profitability.

Compared with other instant delivery platforms, Flash delivery has said that its biggest feature is to focus on "one-on-one delivery".

This means that a courier is responsible for the whole service process from the sender to the recipient, and a courier can only take one order at a time, and will not take other orders until the current order ends.

With such exclusive service, can you really open the blue ocean of distribution in the same city?

At the same time, at present, giants have cut into the same city distribution, especially after running errands. What challenges will there be for some enterprises without giant resources?

What challenges will be faced after the flash IPO to the United States?

In this regard, Sina science and technology Luo Ning and Shu Le had some exchanges, and this monkey thought:

Users may not like the exclusive "social currency" such as "personal service", but how much it is necessary to make urgent delivery frequently.

In fact, there is still a demand for distribution in the same city. Just to meet this demand, the technology needed is still "sci-fi", which cannot be solved by riders.

In the field of labor-intensive express logistics, it is difficult to reduce the high labor cost only by simple digital management and flat channels.

As a new track, the business in the same city requires higher manpower density and frequency, and it is more difficult to solve it with traditional management.

Distribution in the same city is still in the stage of land reclamation, whether it is a giant or a start-up, its market development is just entry, and there are not many resources available for logistics in different places.

The whole scene of logistics in the same city has not been opened, which is limited to simple running errands or moving, similar to better matching some long tail demands through the network front desk.

However, channel flatness is still not enough to solve the problems of cost and frequency.

Now, market share and monthly living are actually a kind of self-satisfaction.

Any logistics in the same city is faced with the problem of solving the scene of tapping the incremental market and increasing the frequency of user consumption.

The best way is to carry out more optimal solutions in artificial intelligence, big data and unmanned vehicles, so that manpower can play the highest role in the lowest configuration, and relying on equipment such as unmanned vehicles, there are more scenarios.

However, at present, these solutions are too sci-fi

The blue ocean of distribution in the same city is not only a virgin land, but also needs to take root for a long time, waiting for the real wind.
