On March 22, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Guangzhou Public Transport Group Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Yiqing Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., and the three parties of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong will jointly carry out in-depth cooperation in the research and development of autonomous vehicles and travel services, campus autonomous driving operations, low-speed autonomous driving application scenarios, joint innovation project application by industry, university, and research, and high-end scientific and technological talent cultivation, Accelerate the maturity of industrial technology and commercial landing, assist Guangzhou in building a complete ecological chain of autonomous driving industry, and jointly implement the "Overall Plan for Deepening Global Cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao in Nansha, Guangzhou". "The tripartite cooperation will achieve resource complementarity and deepen the integration of industry, university, and research in the field of autonomous driving." Li Xiaojun, Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman, and General Manager of Guangzhou Public Transport Group, introduced that Guangzhou Public Transport Group is the largest public transport road transportation enterprise in South China, taking the lead in the field of intelligent transportation, and emphasizing technology to empower traditional transportation; As an institution of higher learning, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) has high-end scientific research resources and the world's leading autonomous driving full stack technology. It focuses on areas such as intelligent transportation robots and autonomous systems, builds a research platform that integrates discrete technology, and studies technologies such as information fusion for multiple traffic sensing methods; As a national high-tech enterprise, Yiqing Innovation has the ability to implement autonomous driving in multiple scenarios, with a diversified product layout. In recent years, the field of intelligent networked vehicles has risen, and the autonomous driving industry has become the wind vane of today's automotive development. National strategic plans such as the "14th Five Year Plan" and the Nansha Plan have all pointed out the importance of intelligent transportation and autonomous driving. Last year, the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China issued a notice announcing the first batch of pilot projects for intelligent transportation applications, including projects led by Guangzhou Public Transport Group and jointly participated by 12 units including Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) and Yiqing Innovation. This signing is also an important measure for HKUST (Guangzhou) to promote the full flow of important development factors such as high-end talent research achievements and industrial information in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. Li Shiwei, President of the System Hub of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), mentioned that "cutting into the intelligent transportation industry through practical cases can give full play to the advantages of autonomous unmanned vehicle landing and improved upstream and downstream industrial chain synergy, driving the rapid landing of intelligent transportation demonstration projects." Liu Ming, founder and chairman of Yiqing Chuangxin, said that in the future, the three parties will deepen cooperation in various aspects such as technological innovation, product iteration, operation services, and so on, Jointly promote autonomous driving solutions, achieve a wider range of public operations, expand real-world unmanned driving to more application scenarios, and promote high-quality development of intelligent transportation.
