The future of urban transportation is not simply about smarter cars or smarter roads, but rather a new transportation ecosystem formed by the symbiotic evolution of both. In this "dual-track revolution," the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) plays the role of the central nervous system, responsible for collecting macro-level traffic data across the city, predicting traffic hotspots, and making overall control. Autonomous vehicles, on the other hand, act like sensitive peripheral neurons, not only autonomously sensing and responding to their surrounding micro-environment, but also transmitting real-time driving data back to the central system through V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) technology, forming a complete information loop.
The value of this symbiotic relationship lies in "collaborative decision-making." For example, if the ITS detects an accident ahead, it can directly issue instructions to all autonomous vehicles within the affected area to plan detours in advance and avoid secondary congestion. Conversely, the collective data of the fleet can also help the ITS validate and revise its traffic model. Ultimately…
