　　The Civil Aviation Administration of China recently issued a notice on the implementation of the Regulations on Normal Flight Management by domestic airlines and airports. The circular summarizes the general transportation conditions announced by domestic airlines, the service content and compensation scheme after flight delay in the emergency plan for on-board delay.

　　According to the circular, 42 domestic airlines announced the flight delay compensation standards. For flight delays caused by airlines, most airlines will give the highest 400 yuan economic compensation; The flight delay compensation schemes of Air China, Hainan Airlines and China Southern Airlines are similar. Some airlines bluntly said: "No matter what causes flight delays or cancellations, no economic compensation will be provided."

　　Passengers with flight delays caused by airline companies receive the highest compensation from 400 yuan.

　　According to the latest data from the Civil Aviation Administration, the normal flight rate reached 76.46% from January to November 2016, up 9.16 percentage points year-on-year. Among the various factors that constitute flight delays, the weather factor rose from 29.5% in 2015 to 56.8% at present, which has become the main reason affecting the normal flight.

　　According to the delay compensation standards of 42 airlines recently issued by the Civil Aviation Administration, passengers have to take care of their own accommodation and meals for flight delays caused by "uncontrollable" reasons such as weather and emergencies, and will not be compensated. That is to say, 42 airlines have adopted the general transportation condition of "assisting in the arrangement and not bearing the expenses" for the delay disposal due to non-airline reasons.

　　In contrast, for flight delays caused by airlines, the disposal methods and compensation standards of airlines are slightly different. The reporter found out that the flight delay compensation standards announced by many airlines such as Air China are basically the same: the delay is more than 4 hours (inclusive) and not more than 8 hours, and each passenger compensates RMB 200 yuan; If the delay is more than 8 hours (inclusive), each passenger shall compensate RMB 400 yuan. Air China said that if the flight is delayed or cancelled at the stop, or the domestic flight is alternated, "whatever the reason, we will provide you with meals or accommodation services."

　　In terms of flight delay compensation standards, Shenzhen Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Kunming Airlines, Dalian Airlines, Air China Inner Mongolia Company, Chongqing Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Grand China Airlines, Capital Airlines, Tianjin Airlines, Jixiang Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, Chengdu Airlines, Donghai Airlines, Tibet Airlines, Qingdao Airlines, Jiangxi Airlines, etc. also have the highest compensation amount for passengers not exceeding 400 yuan.

　　China Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines set the above standards as the "minimum" standards. According to China Eastern Airlines, if the flight is delayed for more than 8 hours (inclusive), the minimum compensation standard is RMB 400 yuan. In other words, the compensation actually received by passengers may be higher than this figure. Other airlines have increased the compensation gear for delays of 4 hours to 6 hours; Or the amount of compensation will be lowered to 100 yuan.

　　Some airlines express that flight delays will not be compensated.

　　For the compensation of flight delay, airlines such as China United Airlines, Changan Airlines, Western Airlines, Urumqi Airlines, Jiuyuan Airlines, Spring Airlines, Guilin Airlines, Guangxi Beibu Gulf Airlines, etc. said that no matter what causes flight delay or cancellation, they will not provide economic compensation.

　　The reporter noted that more than half of the airlines without economic compensation are low-cost airlines. "Based on the differences in business models, it is difficult for low-cost airlines to provide economic compensation to passengers when flights are delayed. Like the terms of not providing meals, this information will be clearly publicized on the ticket purchase page of official website or the cooperative website. " A person in charge of Spring Airlines said.

　　Not making economic compensation for flight delays does not mean lowering the service level. Due to the delay or cancellation of flights due to airline reasons, Changan Airlines said that it will provide free return and change services, meals and accommodation services and assist passengers to complete the follow-up itinerary; Guangxi Beibu Gulf Airlines also said that it can provide services such as meals and accommodation to passengers; Jiuyuan Airlines promised to inform passengers of the delay or cancellation information in time; Spring Airlines also said that it will provide passengers with follow-up refund and change service in time, whether it is free or not, and how to charge depends on the type of ticket purchased by passengers.

　　An emergency plan should be announced for flight delays.

　　Passengers are not allowed to disrupt facilities and order.

　　Major airlines also make regulations on information announcement, catering service provision time, disembarkation conditions and restrictions. At the same time, the Notice also disclosed the websites, complaint telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of major airlines.

　　The Regulations on the Normal Administration of Flights clearly stipulates that the carrier shall formulate and announce the emergency plan for delay to the public after the on-board delay occurs. If the delay on board exceeds 2 hours (inclusive), the carrier shall provide drinking water and food for the passengers on board; If it takes more than 3 hours (inclusive) and there is no clear departure time, passengers should be arranged to get off the plane and wait without violating aviation safety and security regulations. During this period, the normal use of toilet equipment should be guaranteed. During the large-scale flight delay at night, the airport management agency should coordinate the relevant units to extend the airport bus operation time.

　　In addition, the "Regulations" clarify that passengers should take the opportunity in a civilized manner and legally safeguard their rights, and must not engage in acts that disrupt the production order of civil aviation transportation, such as destroying facilities and equipment, otherwise they will be dealt with by the public security organs according to law.

　　Support

　　Aviation delay insurance can be purchased to prevent loss.

　　After the airline’s flight delay compensation policy is revised, in what way can passengers prevent the financial loss caused by flight delay in the future? Some insiders suggest that passengers can purchase flight delay insurance by themselves. Flight delay insurance is an additional service of aviation, with a wide range of compensation. Usually, insurance products will also set a step-by-step payment standard according to the length of delay.

　　In addition, you can also get compensation by swiping a credit card with the function of air delay insurance to purchase air tickets. Comprehensive photo courtesy of Xinhua News Agency such as Yangguang

　　On Friday, local time, with the last-minute leap before the close, the three major indexes in the United States collectively turned red, temporarily stopping the continuous decline in the previous two days and making it difficult to get a good start in April. The difficult trend is enough to show that under heavy pressure, the market is still in the struggling stage where the Federal Reserve is about to raise interest rates aggressively and the geographical situation is still unclear.

　　China Stock Exchange rebounded strongly. Netease Pinduoduo Baidu rose over 6%, leading the Nasdaq 100, bilibili rose nearly 8%. Among the new energy automobile stocks, Xpeng Motors rose nearly 6%, LI rose over 5% and Weilai Automobile rose over 4%.

　　The minutes of the FOMC meeting revealed the determination to raise interest rates.

　　The good news for investors is that April is usually the best month for US stocks in a year. Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist of CFRA, explained that the probability of the S&P 500 index rising in April since World War II reached 70%, with an average increase of 1.7%. In contrast, the average increase of the S&P 500 index in all months is 0.7%.

　　However, it is obvious that "usually" is not suitable to describe April 2022 at a time when guns are rumbling in Ukraine and the Federal Reserve is stepping on the accelerator of raising interest rates.

　　Members of the International Energy Agency agreed to work with the United States to release oil reserves on a large scale.

　　After the United States announced an unprecedented plan to release reserve oil, in order to alleviate the economic damage caused by high energy prices, several American allies also intend to join the Biden administration.

　　Hidechika Koizumi, an official of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, said that members of the International Energy Agency (IEA) agreed to release a new round of emergency fuel reserves on Friday. The time and quantity of oil discharge in each country will be decided later.

　　The steady growth of non-farm employment in the United States in March may push the Fed to raise interest rates by 50 basis points in May.

　　In the United States, jobs continued to grow strongly in March, and wages accelerated again, which will make it possible for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 50 basis points in May.

　　The data shows that the number of non-agricultural employees in the United States increased by 431,000 after the seasonal adjustment in March; The unemployment rate recorded in March was 3.6%, continuing to hit a new low since February 2020; In March, the average hourly wage recorded an annual rate of 5.6%, slightly higher than expected.

It is worth mentioning that the sales data of the two car companies decreased by 15% and 20% respectively. Affected by the surge in oil prices, hybrid models, which account for a quarter of Toyota’s sales, only fell by 3.9% in March.

　　Worried about the decline in smartphone consumption, JPMorgan Chase analysts removed Apple and Qualcomm from the list of concerns

　　JPMorgan Chase analysts removed Apple and Qualcomm from the "watch list", which contains the stocks most recommended by analysts. The bank said that due to the possible decline in consumer spending, iPhone SE may not meet the previous high sales expectations, and Apple’s software service revenue may also usher in a headwind; The weak demand for low-end Android phones will have an impact on Qualcomm.

　　[car home Industry] With the rapid popularization of intelligence, people’s way of life and travel is undergoing significant changes. Users have also become more convenient in driving. But while intelligence brings convenience, these functions also bring a lot of trouble to consumers. Many technical terms and abbreviations are dazzling.

　　At the same time, due to the consideration of safety, many consumers have a mentality of "not commonly used, not daring to use, not using". No matter for the industry or the car companies themselves, these problems need to be solved urgently. High above the intelligent technology, only in the use of the majority of users, can usher in a faster development.

　　While many other car companies, especially the new car-making forces, are still taking unmanned driving as their ultimate development direction and taking the stacking of various hardware and the introduction of obscure functions as their selling points, SAIC-GM-Wuling (hereinafter referred to as SGMW), which has always advocated that "what people need, Wuling will build", has given a seemingly opposite answer.

　　On August 8, SGMW officially announced its important achievements in the field of intelligence at the important moment when SGMW’s first new energy global vehicle, Air ev (right-hand rudder version), rolled off the assembly line in Indonesia and new energy vehicles officially exceeded 1 million, and had in-depth exchanges with the media.

Forget the function and start from the scene.

　　In the communication, SGMW has never mentioned the expressions of various computing powers and the functional introductions that other car companies often say, only the scenes that users encounter every day and the efforts made by Wuling in these familiar scenes. Because in SGMW’s vision, intelligence should "reshape future driving".

　　What should driving be like in the future? For SGMW, it is intelligent driving that everyone dares to use, everyone can use and everyone loves to use, and it is intelligent driving that makes users feel at ease and happy. Since intelligence provides such a platform for cars, it should be well used.

　　In order to realize this vision, SGMW has created the technical concept of "Emotional Engine", focusing more on high-frequency usage scenarios.

　　The "Emotion Engine" takes "users" as the core and is driven by "emotions", focusing on users, segmenting scenes and gaining insight into people’s hearts, deeply focusing on the scenes that users are most concerned about and use the most frequently, and realizing an intelligent closed loop from user emotion capture → scene definition → algorithm realization → simulation test → real vehicle verification → user co-creation.

　　Through the "emotional engine", SGMW can capture the emotional changes of consumers in various car use scenarios. For example, users will feel scared and angry in scenes such as being jammed at close range and parking under the car. Users will feel angry and anxious in scenes such as speeding up and finding a parking space before going straight through the intersection.

　　Based on the emotional engine, SGMW also found that the highest frequency scene of users’ travel is the driving scene of 0-80km/h in the city. With deeper insight, it was further found that "congested road conditions" and "parking links" are two major difficulties that users need to solve urgently. In order to solve these two major pain points of users, SGMW has solemnly launched the "Lingxi Intelligent Driving System".

　　In SGMW’s view, good steel should be used in the cutting edge, and it is the key to effectively solve the user’s problems. Instead of spending money on intelligent functions with few usage scenarios and high cost, it is better to be pragmatic and let users realize the best experience with the least cost.

　　To this end, SGMW has established an intelligent R&D team of more than 4,000 people, including 109 doctors around the world, and built the world’s first public test road integrating 5G communication, V2X, remote driving control and driverless driving. In 2019, it began to lay out unmanned logistics and actively explore the field of intelligent driving.

DJI DJI Technology Endorsement

　　In order to realize the imagined intelligent vision, SGMW chose DJI as its intelligent driving technology partner. Of course, there are some accidental factors in choosing DJI, but more of them are the coincidence of the "user" concepts of both sides. One has millions of new energy users, and the other has tens of millions of product technology applications. The two sides can be described as hitting it off.

　　In the end, the "smart driving system" with the core advantages of "parking scene" and "congestion scene" came into being. On the core hardware, SGMW chose DJI stereo binocular camera as the key component. In SGMW’s view, binocular vision is the best choice after hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

　　Based on DJI’s algorithm accumulation in the field of visual perception and the mass production experience of UAV’s visual perception system, the stereo binocular camera independently developed by DJI has the core technical advantages of stereo visual perception imaging, online self-calibration technology and real-time road online modeling.

　　Moreover, the structure of integrated binocular, not two independent monocular cameras, can bring higher stereoscopic vision synergy, not only can accurately identify common objects, but also can accurately locate any obstacles and estimate their distance, providing stereoscopic and accurate visual perception for the "Linxi Intelligent Driving System".

　　At the same time, relying on DJI’s on-board vehicle regulation domain controller and intention prediction and multi-modal decision-making regulation and control technology, Lingxi Intelligent Driving System has extremely high software and hardware collaborative optimization ability and rich peripheral expansion and integration ability, and has the advantages of user’s intention prediction in complex road conditions, self-learning in various driving styles and full coverage of urban road conditions in China.

　　At the level of test and verification, SGMW has established a complete simulation test system, especially a fully closed-loop virtual test platform for people, vehicles, roads and environment and a complete set of intelligent driving simulation test and evaluation system. AI restores complex and diverse traffic scenes and provides simulation verification for the "Linxi Intelligent Driving System" with more than 20,000 kinds of user usage scenarios.

　　In the real vehicle verification, SGMW has completed more than 5 million kilometers of road tests and more than 1 million intelligent function tests, covering 20 provinces and more than 100 cities across the country, covering a wealth of driving and parking scenarios. What’s more worth mentioning is that SGMW has joined hands with 10,000 real users to create and improve the intelligent driving experience, listen to the feedback from real users, and create a number of "industry-first" intelligent driving functions.

　　At present, the "Lingxi Intelligent Driving System" has taken the lead in landing the 2023 KiWi EV and will be extended to other models in the future. With its excellent performance of "smart parking" and "smart driving" in urban travel scenes, the 2023 KiWi EV once won two honors of "Smart Parking Gold Award" and "Smart Driving Gold Award" in the 2022 World Smart Driving Challenge.

How does the "Lingxi Intelligent Driving System" solve the pain points of users?　

　　Based on the deep thinking of intelligent application and the blessing of "Linxi Intelligent Driving System", many practices of SGMW are very different from those of the industry. For example, in the scene of chaotic lane lines, the general practice of the industry is lane line recognition, while SGMW adopts stereo recognition of the surrounding environment. For shifting the lever to change lanes, the general practice in the industry is to open the limited conditions and fix the speed to change lanes, while SGMW can realize intelligent identification of road conditions and accelerate and decelerate to change lanes.

　　For another example, for obstacle recognition and response, the general practice in the industry is that obstacles need training to be recognized, while SGMW can avoid them intelligently without training; In the case of traffic jam at close range, the industry may suddenly brake or fail to brake, and SGMW can easily deal with traffic jam when the vehicle is 1.5m away from the vehicle.

　　In the parking scene, the "Linxi Intelligent Driving System" can simultaneously support parking space identification in the static, forward and backward all-round states of the vehicle; Stop when visible, effective vertical, parallel and inclined train spaces, and can identify parking space locks; In the process of parking, the parking space limiter can be identified to avoid "offside". In addition, the "Linxi Intelligent Driving System" also pioneered the identification and accurate parking of parking spaces at any angle of 360, which can identify and accurately park parking spaces at any angle with the parking spaces, and can be operated both inside and outside the car.

　　For narrow parking spaces (including horizontal, vertical and inclined train spaces) with one side exceeding the rearview mirror by 15cm, vehicles can park safely and smoothly. Facing the corner parking space, the vehicle can accurately identify and reasonably plan the parking path according to the parking space and the surrounding actual situation.

　　It is worth mentioning that "Linxi Intelligent Driving System" also pioneered "AI Intelligent Parking", which integrates the functions of intelligent parking, direction judgment and path planning. The parking scene is not disturbed by the parking space shape and vehicle state, and any parking method can realize intelligent parking, and can respond to obstacles in time to reserve enough boarding space for drivers.

　　It is understood that after the user’s closed-loop verification, SGMW vehicles using the "Lingxi Intelligent Driving System" can keep users in a pleasant or surprising state regardless of fast road conditions, high-speed road conditions and parking links.

　　Today, SGMW has completed the construction of a pure electric and hybrid power platform. Next, intelligence will become its important development direction. In the field of intelligence, SGMW’s achievements are not only "Linxi Intelligent Driving System". In the future, SGMW will also jointly develop the intelligent cockpit function-Scene Rubik’s Cube based on the concept of emotional engine and bytes, which can realize active interaction among thousands of people.
