London.

The capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the largest city in Europe. It is the world's largest financial center along with New York in the United States, and is known as "Port Newlen" along with New York and Hong Kong

This cosmopolitan city is located on the plains of southeastern England, across the River Thames. It is the political, economic, cultural and financial center of the United Kingdom and a world-famous tourist destination, with a large number of attractions and museums.

If you were to define London, there would probably be only one word: a diverse metropolis!

Its inhabitants come from all over the world, and all races, religions, and cultures teach here, forming a melting pot of cities. With over 300 languages spoken, it's no exaggeration to say that London is a global city.

After the 16th century, with the rapid rise of the British Empire, the scale of London also expanded rapidly. Countless modern streets have been integrated with historic streets, forming a complex urban traffic environment.

In the face of a fixed population of more than 7 million and a floating population of more than 1.5 million, such a traffic environment has always been a nightmare for the municipal government.

London not only has the largest population in Europe, but also the largest number of taxis in Europe. In the city of London, driving on your own is sometimes not a good option, as often you will end up stuck in the streets by making the wrong turn, spending the whole morning.

So, for every hundred cars on the streets here, there are thirteen taxis.

However, such a number of taxis still cannot meet the transportation needs of the city.

Therefore, the leaders and managers of London can only use the simplest and crude way to solve the basic transportation and travel problems of residents. That's ...... Increase the number of taxis.

But even if the total number of taxis is increased to 120,000, there is no guarantee that one out of 10 people will be able to get a taxi in the first place during rush hour.

Some people may not know what this set of data represents, so they can use the data of the capital to make a comparison. In the capital of China, the total population is 21.71 million, and the number of taxis is 66,000.

The number of taxis in London is grossly exceeded, which is neither meeting people's travel needs nor generating more taxi drivers with a commission.

The reality is that for five years in a row, London's taxi unions have protested to the government to stop the aimless and endless increase in taxi licence issuance. Guarantee that the income of taxi drivers will not be reduced.

And every month of the year, London City Hall receives more than 500 complaints about the difficulty of traveling.

So why is this two-pronged situation happening?

The reason for this is still in the road conditions!

In recent years, the city government has been under the complaints of citizens about the inconvenience of travel, as well as the accusations of taxi unions. Over the last five years, more than £12 billion has been invested in the construction of a huge underground rail line.

But then it didn't happen.

London's complex urban environment, as well as many historical buildings that cannot be demolished at all, make it impossible to ensure that each tube station is built with a scientific layout!

It is also such a mess of streets that makes the whole city usually in a sick state all year round.

But today, this pathology seems to have been improved in the slightest.

For the Transport Inspectorate in London, every day is a busy day.

Officer Tyryr, as usual, crossed his shoulders and looked at the 112 traffic screens in front of him, which was his neighborhood, and in addition to any congestion or serious traffic accident, he would face criticism and accusations from the bald commissioner's superiors.

So he didn't dare to be negligent.

But it's still the same, and Hammersmith-Fulham has severe congestion every day, so Deeperier gets scolded every day.

But today, he was surprised to find that the peak of eight o'clock in the morning seemed to ...... It's a little more comfortable than usual!

At this time of day, the traffic on the big screen is basically entangled like countless snakes. But today, although the traffic flow is still huge, at least they are still slowly moving forward under the command of the traffic lights and the traffic police!

Don't underestimate this change, which indicates that today's traffic environment is rated as alarming yellow, not dangerously red!

"Hey, God forbid, it's Monday!" Tyrier muttered, taking off his hat and scratching his Mediterranean hairstyle.

"Sir, it's not God blessed, it's car-sharing!" one of the stewards chuckled softly.

Pril wondered, "Why do you share a car?"

In the past, there was no time for such chat, but today's traffic situation is better, and the supervisor took out a document and handed it to Prior, "This is a document sent yesterday about Rolls-Royce & Zhengxin Britain putting 500 car-sharing cars in our neighborhood and requesting to connect our real-time traffic data to their data processing center." ”

"Oh?" Tyril quickly took the document and looked at it carefully, "Effective?"

"Of course!" said the inspector: "They use our real-time traffic data to optimize the travel plan for users, and rely on automatic driving to avoid rush hour roads and accident-prone road sections, 500 shared cars, with the most scientific and fast routes, have successfully transported more than 1,200 times today, which greatly solves the number of taxi stops in our neighborhood!"

Hearing this, Tiplier was surprised: "There is such a good thing?! Just using data sharing, you can solve such a big traffic problem?!"

"Of course!" the steward laughed.

"But how do you know so clearly?" said Prillier, wondering.

The supervisor took out his mobile phone, pointed to an APP on it, and snickered: "I'm taking a shared car to work today, otherwise you may not see me now, I'm still stuck in traffic at this time of day!"

......

There are six urban districts in London, with more than 30 neighborhoods. Situations like Hammelsmith-Fulham's today are happening on every neighborhood!

The white and blue I3 painted with the Rolls-Royce & Zhengxin British LOGO on the body is constantly shuttling through the streets and alleys with an absolutely stable route and speed, and the color that makes people look particularly comfortable seems to have brought a touch of color to the foggy capital of London today!

London's car-sharing users only know that an app that can easily book a car with their mobile phone saves them a lot of time and energy.

But London's managers see a different side.

Big data operation + scientific autonomous driving car sharing has brought better possibilities to this ancient and congested city!
