[FOCUS] Where does the map industry stand after the artificial intelligence battle?

Jin Jiuyin, with the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and the National Day holiday, the domestic market ushered in the peak of the people's travel. As mobile maps, which are an essential tool for people to travel, the competition among manufacturers is in full swing.

Following the National Day retreat, one month, the Gaode map Baidu map comes back and forth several rounds: On September 1, at Baidu World Congress, Baidu map shows Baidu maps relying on the Baidu brain to depict reality in big data and The ability of artificial intelligence technology to optimize user travel decisions. On September 19, the Gaode map also held a press conference to release the high-definition map AI engine. The release of the high-definition map AI engine will promote the implementation of Goerd’s strategy of “a high morality and multi-screen” and help them complete the layout of “a high morality, two centers”. On September 21st, Baidu Maps held a gathering experience at Shangri-La, which is known as the "Fame in the World," to demonstrate its data collection capabilities. On September 27, Baidu Map United People's Network released the National Day travel forecast report; on September 28, Gao De map and the Sina Weibo held the “2016 Internet + Traffic Travel Service Forum” under the guidance of the Traffic Management Bureau, and released the National Day travel forecast on site. The report, together with the release of the first Internet + Traffic Index Report, was released on the same day. On the same day, Baidu Maps updated the spokesperson and invited popular Yang Xiao Yang to speak for him.

This is the Internet CP you come to me to swip screen friends circle, based on big data AI (artificial intelligence) has been mentioned many times, perhaps AI (artificial intelligence) has become a key magic weapon for the next battle of the map battle, then The two major map vendors are among you and I. What are their differences? What are the maps' thinking powers? Naturally, they have become the focus of the owners.

Artificial Intelligence Becomes Map Field but Different Points

It can be seen that Baidu and Gaode have made the map artificial intelligence an important focal point in this match. However, from the perspective of the artificial intelligence of the two products, it seems that all of them are based on big data and machine learning. So are the two technologies achieving convergence in fact exactly the same or different in magnitude? It has also been discussed by many people.

Personally, although both of them are based on big data and machine learning and have technological convergence in the realization of map artificial intelligence, there are still many differences between the two. For example, there are relative differences in terms of platform interoperability, data sources, and data accumulation. In terms of platform interoperability, Gao De is focusing on the capacity building of the entire map, trying to build a cross-terminal capability of maps in a series of smart hardware devices such as mobile phones, vehicle models, smart watches, smart bicycles, etc., in order to achieve the same in the era of the Internet of Everything. The use of sexual experience, and Baidu is more hope that the map can become its O2O ecosystem service deflector, flying unmanned dream. In terms of data sources, the data of Gaode map comes from Alibaba Group, Gaode itself, open platform, and third-party applications. Based on the attributes of Alibaba's e-commerce platform, it is mostly commercial data, and Baidu is on the search advantage. For the first time, the data has more search attributes, and the high-definition data is more comprehensive and valuable; in terms of data accumulation, the two are also slightly different. Gao De has 14 years of professional accumulation in data accumulation, and his data has been collected by his own data base; Baidu has previously cooperated with NavInfo in this year, and he has begun to change his strategy this year to collaborate with Chang'an on a map. Data mining, its proud automated production capabilities and platform innovation management capabilities have made Baidu's map data processing efficiency increase. However, historical accumulation has been a bit thin, and Gaode has accumulated an advantage.
