[depth] entrepreneurs can also play artificial intelligence and autopilot?

This year, artificial intelligence and autopilot have clearly ushered in a huge enthusiasm. Not only big companies such as Baidu and Ali have been involved in artificial intelligence and automatic driving, but a series of startup companies have also sneaked into the market. Many people think that the startup's technical strength is not enough, compared with BAT, it has almost no advantage, and it is almost inevitable to enter the market.

However, this is not the case. Artificial intelligence and autopilot technology are moving to a stage of rapid maturation. Large companies as platform companies have made more breakthroughs in overall technology, and they still need to build through open and open source methods in the subdivided areas. Ecology, so that SMEs involved. In addition, SMEs and entrepreneurs often hold key technologies in the subdivided areas. Compared with large companies, sub-sectors often have a irreplaceable alternative. So, entrepreneurs can also play artificial intelligence and autopilot.

Big companies will be the infrastructure for artificial intelligence and automated driving

In the fields of artificial intelligence and automatic driving, large companies such as Ali, Baidu, and Google are very bullish and invest a lot of resources. However, large companies are more likely to “build bridges and build roads” and assume the role of building an ecological system and establishing standards. Large companies often position themselves as infrastructures in the fields of artificial intelligence and automatic driving, and develop a platform where other entrepreneurs can participate and gradually enrich their ecology.

It can be said that large companies often play a fundamental role in the fields of artificial intelligence and automatic driving. They are responsible for the education market and integrate the role of the industrial chain. They are objectively promoting the rapid maturation and popularization of the industry. Big companies and start-up companies are actually complementary and inseparable. Large companies like to invest in or acquire technology-intensive start-up companies to a large extent to reduce their own trial-and-error costs. As we all know, AlphaGo is Google's artificial intelligence robot, but few people know that in January 2014, Google acquired "thinking" company for 630 million US dollars, and finally formed today's AlphaGo.

Large corporations need startup companies to participate in, and the layout of the industries surrounding the big companies in the subdivided areas is explored and explored in depth, constantly expanding the ecology. What a start-up company needs to do is to make use of infrastructure, absorb nutrients in public platforms and technologies, gradually take root, and explore its own technologies.

This concept is actually quite understandable. For example, Tencent has developed WeChat, but Tencent has no way to independently support WeChat's public number content, e-commerce segment, game segment, and facial expression segment in WeChat Ecology. More still need to be gradually opened up to start-ups to support and build up the ecology. In the future, in fact, the field of artificial intelligence and automatic driving is also the same. Large companies can only do common technology in the mass consumer market. In some segments, they still need to rely on startup companies to complete.
