Baidu chief calls for intelligent transportation solutions

China should further strengthen its guidance in establishing a data sharing and usage mechanism, and encourage local authorities to explore and establish intelligent transportation solutions, Robin Li, chairman and CEO of leading Chinese search engine Baidu Inc, said on the sidelines of the annual two sessions.

In his proposal to the second session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Li, a member of the committee, said artificial intelligence technologies should be applied in intelligent traffic solutions that can effectively alleviate traffic congestion, and reduce traffic accidents to offer smooth and safe travel.

"At present, the integration of new technologies with the governance of urban transportation is still in an early stage, so the government's policies play a vital role in this period of time," Li said.
