CCTV News:Didi Chuxing today released the "2017 ****** Festival Car Rental Big Data Report" to reveal the characteristics ** self-driving travel during the ****** Festival. The report shows that the popularity ** car rentals during the ****** Festival holiday has risen by nearly 30% compared with half a month ago; northerners are more inclined to plan their itineraries in advance, such as Qingdao and *******, where more than 70% ** users book cars more than 10 days in advance. From the perspective ** user composition, the car rental group is dominated by men, and the younger age is becoming more and more significant. In January this year, men accounted for 84% ** car rental users, and the post-80s and post-90s accounted for 46.9% and 44.8% respectively, exceeding 90%.

　　Car rental self-driving tours are becoming an important part of the National Spring Festival. According to Didi data, a large number of users chose to car rental self-driving tours during the Spring Festival in 2017. Its popularity began to heat up from the week before the Spring Festival. The holiday week was 29% higher than half a month ago, and the Lantern Festival still maintained a hot topic, an increase of 11% over the usual weekend. It can be seen that in addition to the long "driving period", many users chose to "leave early" or "return late" to avoid the travel peak.

　　How long is the super long "driving period"? According to the big data of Didi Car Rental, a woman in Shanghai rented a car from January 12 to February 4, for a total of 23 days, which is the most time for renting a car in China during the Spring Festival this year. In addition, there are not a few rentals for more than 10 days, and it is speculated that the annual vacation is also used. However, most office workers still play until 7 days and 8 days. During the Spring Festival, orders with a rental time of 7 days and 8 days accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 33%.

　　One of the characteristics of holiday car rentals is that there are many users who book cars in advance, which is the so-called "not moving first". Didi Chuxing car rental big data shows that people in northern cities are more inclined to plan their trips in advance. Take Beijing and Qingdao as an example, more than 70% of the people book car rentals more than 10 days in advance, while in southern cities such as Chengdu, Shenzhen, Wuhan, the proportion is around 55%.

　　Where are the car rental people "lurking" during the ****** Festival? The answer is the airport, railway station and the program ape colony. Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen and Qingdao have airports and railway stations on the list ** popular car rental areas, while *******, Shanghai, Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Wuhan Optics Valley are also quite popular. It can also be inferred that the program ape is one ** the main groups ** car rental, and there are many tourists from different places during the ****** Festival.

　　From the perspective of first- and second-tier cities, in terms of the proportion of car rentals in different places during the Spring Festival, Didi big data shows that Chengdu, Qingdao and Shanghai have the highest. There are many tourist attractions in and around these cities, which attracts a large number of foreign tourists during the Spring Festival, and car rentals are also very popular. Especially in Chengdu, its delicious food in the city, the ancient towns in the suburbs and the beautiful scenery of Yunnan Road in western Sichuan have attracted many self-driving tour enthusiasts from other places. Remember the "Sichuan A Army" that captured Panzhihua, Xichang, western Sichuan and many places in Yunnan during the Spring Festival? Maybe there are also many foreign tourists who are to blame.

　　In early January this year, Didi officially launched its overseas car rental business. Chinese users can rent a car abroad through the international version of Didi Car Rental. With the increasing number of outbound tourists, overseas car rentals have gradually become popular in some countries where intercity and intra-city public transportation is not convenient. According to Didi data, during the Spring Festival, Chinese people like to rent a car in the United States for self-driving trips. Among them, Los Angeles and San Francisco are the most popular overseas cities. The self-driving travel links between the two cities are also very close.

　　It is conceivable that from San Francisco, along Highway 1 south to Los Angeles, or from Los Angeles north to San Francisco, the winding, hundreds of kilometers of coastal roads are breathtaking in epic grandeur.

　　Didi data also shows that users in first- and second-tier cities prefer overseas car rental self-driving trips, with Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou at the top.

　　From the Spring Festival and the recent trend of the distribution of the attributes of Didi car rental users, the younger and masculine are obvious, accounting for about 90%. In January this year, 84% of car rental users were male; the post-80s and post-90s accounted for 46.9% and 44.8% respectively, adding up to more than 90%. However, this group of people is no stranger to self-driving travel, especially holiday travel. (CCTV reporter Liang Zhiwei)

Qichacha’s equity penetration shows that the company is 100% controlled by Avita Technology (Chongqing) Co., Ltd., which is a holding company of Changan Automobile (000625) and NIO.

It is worth noting that, according to previous information, Avita Technology will operate completely in the market, operate independently, develop independently, and join hands with Changan Automobile, Huawei, and Ningde Times to create new products. Previously, the expected carrier company for Changan, Huawei, and Ningde Times to jointly build cars is Avita Technology. This new high-end independent brand launched by Changan will run in parallel with the existing Changan brand.

On May 20, 2021, Chongqing Changan Automobile joint stock company (hereinafter referred to as "Changan Automobile" or "Company") holding subsidiary Changan NIO New Energy Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. has officially changed its name to Avita Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Avita Technology"). Avita Technology will be fully market-oriented, operate independently, and develop independently. Together with Changan Automobile, Huawei, and Ningde Times, we will create a world-leading, autonomous and controllable intelligent electric connected vehicle platform (CHN), create a rich range of intelligent vehicle products, and build a "people-car-family" smart life and smart energy ecosystem.

According to the official, the name "Avatar" is taken from the English Avatar, which means virtual avatar in the game or online world. Avatar Technology has given the word a deeper meaning, that is, to create another self in the intelligent parallel world for each user, knowing "you" worries, understanding "you" thinking, and giving "you" what you want. Based on this, Avatar Technology is committed to creating a new generation of intelligent end point beyond the mobile space through future-forward design aesthetics, discreet driving experience and emotional human-machine interaction. Avatar, yourmostemotionalintelligentcompanion.

Avita technology aggregates the superior technologies of Changan Automobile, Huawei and Ningde Times in the fields of R & D and manufacturing, intelligent solutions and energy management ecology, and deeply integrates the strategic resources of the three parties to redefine the future intelligent electric vehicle (SmartElectricVehicle). Huawei will give full play to its ICT technology advantages and jointly build a full value chain of R & D, channels, services, and ecology with Avita Technology to provide users with full-stack smart vehicle solutions and achieve the intelligent level of electric vehicles; Ningde Times, as a power battery provider and new energy solution service provider, empowers Avita Technology with smart electric vehicle power battery technology and jointly creates a safe and convenient energy ecosystem; Changan Automobile will jointly develop the world’s leading intelligent electric connected vehicle platform (CHN) with Avita Technology based on the capabilities of Huawei and Ningde Times.

In fact, the cooperation between Changan and NIO has been in place for nearly 4 years. On April 9, 2017, Changan Automobile and NIO signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Li Bin, founder, chairperson and CEO of NIO, said at the time that the two parties will establish a joint venture company to develop new products (different from JAC’s foundry cooperation). On August 17, 2018, Changan NIO New Energy Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture jointly funded by Changan Automobile and NIO, settled in Nanjing Jiangning Development Zone. Li Bin is the chairperson of Changan NIO, and the vice chairperson is Li Wei, executive vice president of Changan Automobile.

However, since then, the cooperation between Changan and NIO has been delayed. In June 2020, Changan NIO underwent an industrial and commercial change. NIO Li Bin stepped down as the chairperson of the company, and the new chairperson was Tan Benhong, executive vice president of Changan Automobile. Changan Automobile originally held a 50% stake in Changan NIO, but Changan Automobile increased its investment in Changan NIO through cash increases and other means. After the capital increase was completed, Changan Automobile held a total of 95.38% of Changan NIO’s equity, while NIO only held 4.62%. In other words, in the joint venture relationship of Changan NIO, NIO retreated significantly, and Changan Automobile took over.

On November 15, 2020, Changan officially announced that together with two other giants in the automotive industry, Huawei and Ningde Times will jointly create a new high-end smart car brand. In the future, the AB brand will be built based on the CHN architecture (the architecture jointly created by Changan, Huawei, and Ningde Times), and will launch 5 new energy high-end products. The first model may be a high-end pure electric SUV. The product definition of this model is responsible for Changan, equipped with Huawei’s intelligent cockpit platform CDC, autonomous driving domain controller ADC, and some Sandian components.

In the future, AB brand and the existing Changan New Energy will be two independent operating companies, with different product brands and product segments, providing products and services to customers in different market segments. Among them, Changan New Energy is the new energy business bearer of Changan Automobile brand, and AB brand is a high-end intelligent electric vehicle brand jointly created by aggregating the resources of Changan Automobile, Huawei and Ningde Times.

Andy Lau

　　Andy Lau attended the opening ceremony of the "Andy Lau Life Education Activity Center" on November 9. He said that he had donated 2 million funds from charitable funds earlier to appeal to young people to stay away from drugs and instill correct "sexual knowledge".　

　　Andy Lau pointed out that today’s young people have a lot of freedom and are not closely related to their parents. When asked about the discipline of children, Andy Lau, who is already a father, will accommodate children? He smiled and asked back: "Did I say something wrong, I mean the general society. I dare not say, if I am like this, everyone will remind me."　

　　Andy Lau said that his daughter was still young and did not expect to be severely disciplined, and that "sex education" may be taught by himself or his wife after going to the center for classes. When asked if it was difficult to ask his daughter, Andy Lau pointed out that the media questions were difficult to answer and wanted to go back to study. When asked if he would take his daughter to class, Andy Lau pointed out that he was always busy with work and said he would not answer his daughter’s affairs.　

　　Andy Lau pointed out that when he was a child in a Buddhist school, no one taught "sexual knowledge", but now the world has changed, and programs about "sexual knowledge" can also be seen on TV. In addition, Andy Lau did not respond to the rumor that Liu’s father bought supplements for him to nourish his body and chase his son, emphasizing that he usually takes vitamin supplements. He said: "It’s good that I know the truth, I don’t answer true or false, otherwise next time there is a real report, I will definitely admit it."

Although there are frequent new forces in the car industry, the brand created by Sailis hand in hand with Huawei, the world’s leading intelligent end point provider, is still a special presence in the field of new forces, so that today, people are still talking about the bold attempts of both partners and the various performances of AITO in the field of intelligence after asking the world.

After the launch of AITO, it launched "Accelerate Run", and successively released three smart cars, the M5, the M7, and the M5 pure electric version, which achieved a good reputation. According to the survey, AITO has performed well in the quality rankings of new energy medium and large SUVs in the first half of 2023, and the AITO M7 has been highly recommended by many car owners due to its good performance. In May this year, AITO’s 100th complete vehicle rolled off the assembly line, which means that the brand achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1 in only 15 months. "This represents the recognition and trust of users in us, and also verifies the success of the smart car model." Huawei managing director, end point BG CEO, intelligent car solutions BU CEO Yu Chengdong said.

"Speed up and run" is still going on, and AITO has continued to "intelligentize" the world. On September 12, AITO asked the world to officially launch the new M7. This new car priced at 249,800 – 329,800 yuan has been upgraded in terms of intelligence, among which intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit are especially worth mentioning. AITO asked the world to call them "Double Intelligence".

AITO’s new M7 Max smart driving version is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 high-end intelligent driving system, which is equipped with 27 sensing hardware around the vehicle, combined with high-performance computing platform and Huawei’s self-developed anthropomorphic algorithm, can achieve full-scene, all-weather, and large-scale perception of dynamic and static targets.

The 27 sensing hardware includes 1 overhead lidar, 3 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and 11 high definition visual perception cameras, which are equivalent to the 27 "eyes" of the new M7, which can achieve all-round observation of road conditions without dead ends and 99% fine identification of obstacles. In the product evaluation, rows of cones, stationary water horses, mounds of debris, fallen trees on the roadside, and gravel falling from the mountain are all included in the evaluation range, and they cannot escape the "eyes" of the new M7 by AITO. Not only that, the new car can also recognize foreign-shaped objects passing through the obstacle list, with a recognition rate of 99.9%.

Recognition is not the goal, reasoning through recognition, rapid decision-making, rapid response, and saving danger are the goals. After accurately identifying the behavior of surrounding traffic participants, the "fully armed" AITO Wenjie New M7 can achieve high-level intelligent driving with safety, comfort, and efficiency, which of course includes urban sections and high-speed sections during peak traffic periods; new cars can find parking spaces without self-learning, and park into parking spaces autonomously, truly achieving "visible and parking"; Sentinel mode detects potential dangers nearby, and the system will issue an alarm and record a video…

AITO asked the world that the new M7 is intelligent inside and outside, not only has "clairvoyant" and "downwind ear", but also has a strong "inner", and their equipment makes the title of "double intelligence" more appropriate.

The new AITO M7 is equipped with Hongmeng Smart Cockpit 3.0, which can switch between the mobile phone screen and the car screen freely, allowing drivers to feel the magic of space jumping. For example, before boarding the car, you are playing games, listening to music, swiping dramas, and entering the cockpit. Just touch the connection, you can continue to feel the experience through the large screen in the car. The new car can also realize multi-finger touch to zoom arbitrarily, freely switch tasks, one-click access to the super desktop, and multi-functions are immediately displayed. Experiencers have commented that it is as smooth as the Huawei Mate 60 Pro mobile phone.

Intelligent not only gives the new car a smooth and smooth experience, but also realizes many other functions. For example, the AITO Qinjie new M7 in-car navigation supports offline map voice navigation, and the recognition rate of offline map voice navigation can reach 99%. For example, the AITO Qinjie new M7 can help owners who "park and forget" to find a car accurately through the APP. For example, the one-click reservation reserve car equipped in the cockpit can quickly help drivers and passengers adjust the temperature and air in the car through "memory", and reduce the sound in the car through "soft instructions", making the car as comfortable and quiet as a quiet forest.

Safety is always a topic of concern for drivers and passengers. While creating physical safety, AITO is also using its intelligent advantages to "double blessing" the active and passive safety of vehicles.

In terms of physical safety, the new AITO M7 adopts a cage-type body design structure. The whole body of submarine-grade thermoformed steel accounts for 24.4%, and can withstand 17 tons of weight per square centimeter. The threshold beam of the vehicle is filled with aluminum profiles to increase the "bone density" of the vehicle, and they also protect the battery cells and battery modules of the vehicle body. The new car is equipped with 8 airbags, and it is also equipped with front double preload seat belts.

In terms of intelligent "secondary blessing", the new car can support the low-speed driving scenarios of the vehicle forward and backward by expanding the AEB emergency braking function in the active safety system, covering the rolling scene, and realizing low-speed emergency braking; in the case of reversing, it can identify the collision risk including children, anti-collision columns, cones, etc. The multi-sensor fusion sensing system of the AITO Interview New M7 can realize the longest detection distance of 200m, and the maximum horizontal detection angle can reach 120 °, which increases the vehicle’s anticipation of dangerous situations. The AITO Interview New M7 can increase the maximum braking speed to 90km/h through AEB automatic emergency braking, which can reduce the safety accidents caused by inattention and complex road conditions caused by nine causes. In the tunnel section, AITO’s new M7 can respond quickly through a fully integrated sensing scheme and lidar, enabling emergency avoidance in the event of abnormal weather or rockfalls in mountainous areas.

The highlights of AITO’s new M7 are far more than that. More highlights need to be felt by drivers and passengers. Its 249,800 – 329,800 yuan price is also very friendly to consumers. It hopes to truly target the majority of Chinese household users and become a high-intelligence and cost-effective product that replaces "brand premium" with "intelligent equal rights".

Looking forward to the launch performance of AITO’s new M7, and looking forward to more users being able to experience the new driving experience brought by its high-tech. (Yang Yang)

CCTV News(Reporter/Yao Shuting): A few days ago, some consumers complained on social platforms that they were suspected of encountering "bounced tickets" when purchasing Lin Junjie Nanchang concert tickets on a ticketing platform. After payment, they actually changed from Lin Junjie concert tickets to Pan Weibai concert tickets. Consumers immediately applied for a refund, and the refund page showed that 50% of the handling fee was charged.

Xiaojie snapped up tickets for Lin Junjie’s concert on June 2 on the evening of May 6, and entered the ticket purchase interface of Lin Junjie’s concert through the homepage of the platform. After swiping the ticket, she immediately paid without secret. Xiaojie introduced to CCTV News + reporter: "I bought a ticket of 1380 yuan, and Lin Junjie also has this ticket file, so I didn’t find anything abnormal until the payment was completed. But what I didn’t expect was that the message" Successful purchase of Pan Weibai’s concert tickets "popped up after the payment was completed. After finding out that she bought the wrong ticket, Xiaojie immediately applied for a refund. The page showed that the day was already on the 16th day after Pan Weibai’s concert was issued, and the refund fee was 50% of the ticket price.　

Consumer Tang bought Pan Weibai’s concert tickets for 1,180 yuan. She introduced to the "News +" reporter that all personal information had been pre-filled before invoicing. After Lin Junjie’s concert tickets were opened, the hot window on the platform was only Lin Junjie’s ticket purchase interface. Click to enter the ticket purchase interface, and there is no need to fill in other information again. When Ms. Tang received the ticket purchase text message, she found that she had purchased Pan Weibai’s Nanchang concert tickets.

"It’s obviously the first picture of Lin Junjie’s character, but the jump is Pan Weibai’s concert, and the system automatically jumps around. Isn’t this misleading and deceiving consumers?" Consumer Ms. Chen recalled that the evening of May 6 was during the time period for Lin Junjie’s concert to issue tickets, and the ticket purchase interface of Pan Weibai’s concert was in the state of "reservation and purchase", and tickets could not be purchased. Ms. Chen told reporters that many Pan Weibai fans under the relevant Weibo also raised questions: "I can’t get Pan Weibai’s tickets if I want to. How can so many people buy tickets?"

According to media reports, in early 2024, multiple consumers bought tickets for the "Lin Junjie JJ20 World Tour Concert Chengdu Station" concert on the same platform, but after payment, they found that the ticket information was "2024 Lin Zixiang 50 Jian Concert". Due to the approaching performance time, the platform refused to apply for a refund. The ticket buyers questioned the platform’s deliberate "bounce", and the platform denied the system problem, believing that the ticket buyer accidentally "clicked wrong", but agreed to a full refund.

In April 2024, after consumer Xiaoyu purchased tickets for Xu Song’s concert on the platform, he found that the order showed Su Youpeng’s concert tickets. He called customer service to complain unsuccessfully, but still received tickets for Su Youpeng’s concert the next day.

Ms. Chen told reporters that there are currently nearly 70 consumers with the same experience, and some consumers have received text messages from the Nanjing Jianye District Culture and Tourism Bureau after complaining: "Jianye District Culture and Tourism Bureau has contacted the organizer for communication and coordination, and the organizer has agreed to refund the ticket, but the publicity of the handling fee has been reviewed and filed by the Nanchang Public Security Department and cannot be changed without authorization. Moreover, the ticket purchase error was caused by the ticketing platform, and the organizer was not at fault and could not reach a full refund. In view of the failure of mediation, it is recommended that consumers protect their rights through legal channels."

On May 9, some consumers received a text message reply from the platform: Feedback has been confirmed, and full refunds are not supported.

Beijing Yuecheng Law Firm senior partner Yue Yushan said that the main point of the incident is whether the platform has breached the contract or infringed the situation. According to the "Consumer Rights Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China", consumers have the right to choose goods or services independently, and consumers also have the right to know the specific situation of the relevant goods or services. If the platform deliberately sets up a jump link, causing consumers to fail to buy the tickets they want to buy, which has damaged consumers’ right to choose and know, it is an infringement of consumer rights and interests. The platform needs to bear the corresponding responsibility. Once it constitutes fraud, it may have to bear the responsibility of refunding one to three.

According to the September 2023 "Notice of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security on Further Strengthening the Standardized Management of Large-scale Commercial Performance Activities and Promoting the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Performance Market", performance organizers should establish a ticket refund mechanism for large-scale performance activities, set a reasonable level of ticket refund fees, and protect the legitimate right of ticket buyers to refund tickets. Yue Yushan mentioned that even if the platform does not deliberately set up "bounce tickets," when consumers buy the wrong ticket or need to refund the ticket, they will directly charge a 50% handling fee, which may not be a reasonable and legal behavior.

Under normal circumstances, consumers rarely take photos and collect evidence in advance when purchasing goods and services, so they face the problem of "providing evidence" when protecting their rights. In this regard, Yue Jiushan introduced that consumers can prove the products and services they plan to buy through the background search records, as well as the final payment records, so as to prove that the final purchase results do not match expectations. At the same time, they should also keep relevant ticket purchase records and payment information. After finding problems, they can first negotiate and communicate with the platform. If the negotiation fails, they can call 12315 to complain, or report and report to the market supervision department, or they can directly file a lawsuit with the people’s court to solve the problem through litigation.

Yue Yushan suggested that when consumers conduct transactions on the Internet, they must determine whether the purchased goods and services are correct. In addition, merchants should operate in good faith during the business process and do not seek improper benefits through other means.
