On August 9th, AI Zhongtai Company Shanma Intelligent announced the completion of the fourth round of financing of 400 million yuan. This round of financing was jointly led by Zhangjiang Hi -Tech, Zhangjiang Group, Langtai Capital and CCTV Media Fund. Ding and linear capital continue to follow. According to reports, the financing funds will be mainly used for the continuous research and development of new products, the productization of the core system, and the creation of the product operation system. At the same time, it will also increase the scientific research investment in core technology.

As one of the investors in this round, He Dajun, deputy chairman and general manager of Zhangjiang Hi -Tech, said that only when artificial intelligence enables the physical industry, it has the source of motivation for continuous development. Understanding and cognition. Software and hardware decoupling, high -efficiency algorithm iteration, and high -reusing module development solves the pain points of difficulty in the implementation of the AI ​​industry and a high degree of customization.

In the field of artificial intelligence, the difficulty of commercialization is an industry consensus. Therefore, AI companies that can solve the problem of commercialization of commercialization can often get more favors in the capital market. The recently released "Big Data Map of Chinese Artificial Intelligence Enterprises in 2022" shows that there are currently 7,756 artificial intelligence companies currently in the industry, of which 284 companies have financing information, and they are mainly A and strategic financing. For example, AI smart transportation companies Shenzhen Qiyang and Zhuo Shitong completed the Pre-A and A+round financing in 2021, respectively. As of 2022, less than 20 companies have completed financing of Series C and above.

Smart transportation is one of the important vertical markets for AI landing applications. Around this track, Internet manufacturers such as Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and HKUST Xunfei have completed their business layout before 2020.

The "Outline of the Construction of a Powerful Power" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council clearly states that by 2035, the transportation power will be basically established. It is necessary to vigorously develop smart transportation and promote new technologies and transportation such as big data, Internet, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and super computing. In -depth integration of the industry, to promote data resources to further empower traffic development, the digitalization rate of traffic infrastructure must reach 90%.

In the future, based on the evolution of technologies such as AI and 5G, my country's transportation is continuously evolving towards intelligence, and gradually opens up new market space. According to data released by the China Intelligent Transportation Association, from 2011 to 2020, the total scale of my country's intelligent transportation market increased from 42 billion yuan to 165.8 billion yuan, with an annualized growth rate of nearly 20%. According to IDC estimates, the investment scale of China's smart transportation industry will exceed 650 billion yuan in 2027.
