CCTV News: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, its applications in various fields are also constantly expanding. The 2025 government work report once again mentioned that we must continue to promote the "Artificial Intelligence +" action and vigorously develop intelligent connected new energy vehicles. When AI empowers transportation, what changes will it bring to our travel?

Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone, with Beijing Yizhuang as the core area, has opened eight autonomous driving scenarios.

Before getting on the car, click on the dedicated app to unlock the door, and the door of the car opened. Here, click on the door and set off on the big screen to start the trip.

A vehicle safety monitoring platform has also been built in the car, which can monitor driving status in real time and feedback abnormal behaviors in a timely manner.

Intelligent transportation is not limited to autonomous driving. AI can also optimize all aspects of urban traffic management through big data analysis and intelligent algorithms. This is a traffic accident that happened on a highway in Zhejiang some time ago. The AI ​​event detection system laid out on this highway was discovered. This abnormal event was discovered and the message was pushed to the duty staff of Hangzhou North Management Center dozens of kilometers away in the form of pop-up alarms.

At the Wuhan West Toll Station of the Hubei-Beijing Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, the orange-red smart toll robot replaces the traditional artificial window. The high-speed payment can be completed in just ten seconds, greatly improving the traffic efficiency. At the same time, Hubei Expressway has also invested in AI intelligent patrol vehicles, which can automatically collect road problems in a short period of time.

In Shuangxing Avenue, Shuangliu District, Chengdu, the traffic management department has created a holographic perception system for integrated road testing of vehicles, roads and clouds to analyze and implement road conditions and avoid major traffic accidents. In addition, this smart lamp pole is closely integrated with the low-altitude economy and becomes an integrated "drone apron", realizing the integrated collaborative management of the air, sky and earth synesthesia.

At present, "artificial intelligence + transportation" is a critical stage of promotion from technical research and development to application practice, from pilot testing to demonstration operation, and from "points" and "lines" to "surfaces". In the future, we will realize the beautiful vision of "people enjoy their actions and things flow freely".

Li Bin, director of the Road Network Monitoring and Emergency Response Center of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that, first, the implementation opinions on "Artificial Intelligence + Transportation" are being studied and drafted to make plans for the work in the next five years. The second is to strengthen coordination with relevant departments, study and improve the construction of artificial intelligence innovation platforms in the transportation field, and carry out scenario research. Third, combine major projects and application scenarios in the industry, and strive to create a number of innovative application projects for artificial intelligence.
