Volvo executives: What is the role of VR in the future economy?

On March 24, the Boao Forum for Asia 2017 annual meeting entered the second day. The theme of this forum is "The future of comprehensive globalization and free trade." The sub-forum on the theme of the “fourth industrial revolution” was held. The discussion focused on the landmark technology or innovation of the fourth industrial revolution. What are the main challenges to traditional manufacturing?

According to Niklas GUSTAFSSON, Chief Sustainable Development Officer of the Volvo Group, virtual reality technology is very important for the development of traditional businesses. The most important thing is to understand why these technologies are used, to build a green economy to be sustainable, and efficiency is also critical.

The following is a partial excerpt from the conversation:

Tim SWEENEY: I am optimistic about the prospects of employment and the economy. We may have lost some of our manufacturing jobs. The real economy is always affected by resources and is constrained by real resources. However, the virtual economy has no restrictions in this respect and is not affected by external investment. It is the input of human resources. The real economy and the virtual economy bring you numerous opportunities.

In China, you buy a lot of things through the game, but you can not trade, can not sell, but in the United States can do this, you can sell, you can trade. In the game experience, there is an economy, augmented reality. You wear a pair of sunglasses to see the real world and the virtual world. I think it will create a new economy.

There is no such economy, but in the future, it will bring many job opportunities to those who have lost their jobs in the manufacturing industry. They can enjoy such a job very much in the sharing economy.

Moderator: In China, there is a very heated discussion about the virtual economy and the real economy. The traditional economy can say that the virtual economy is an unfair game. The virtual economy develops too fast and damages the real economy. It also damages the global real economy. For example, employment, the middle class, and the growth of GDP have had a negative impact. Is the virtual economy really at the expense of the real economy?

Niklas GUSTAFSSON: This issue is very important. It is true that we often ask such questions during meetings. And in many cases, we are a traditional economy like us. We are one in the head and people in emerging industries are on the other side. We often argue. I do not believe this argument. For example, like the traditional transportation sector, the new technology of virtual reality is very important to the development of our traditional business. It may not be visible or visible, and it is not as clear as the gaming industry, but There are many examples in this area. These new technologies have been put into new cars and building equipment.

For example, a loading vehicle may be a large yellow machine, but 50% of the cost comes from software. Many new technologies are used in many aspects of transportation and the real economy. The most important thing is that we may want to understand why we use these technologies. We want to build a green economy to be sustainable while efficiency is very critical. We have a lot of waste. There are a lot of waste in the system. This is what we need to solve with new technologies.

We can always discuss how to solve traffic congestion. Volvo cars and trucks can be very clean and very environmentally friendly. This is a good topic. We also often talk about electrification, and from diesel engines, gasoline engines to electric vehicles, starting with buses, which is a good start. Because the city's buses go from point A to point B, from point B to point A, we know how to build such an electric system.

You can also put the battery on the bus, because the bus is from point A to point B every day. We talked about automation. Previous speakers have already talked about the creation of jobs, etc. Automated or automated driving machines will be used more and more in the future. In commercial vehicles, the interaction between the driver and the customer is very important, so it is not possible to adopt the automatic driving method.

Looking at China and Asia, the growth of GDP, many of which come from Asia, 50% of global GDP growth comes from Asia, 30% of which come from China. Look at the transportation and logistics industry. A lot of money is spent on guarantees. The speed of logistics is to move goods from one point to another. Calculations tell us that 11 trillion yuan is spent on transportation and logistics, and that the annual growth rate is more than 33%. China's GDP is probably spent on logistics as a percentage of GDP. 15%, of course, efficiency is constantly improving, so this ratio is declining, before it was 18%, and now it is 15%, and it has dropped.

Logistics accounts for 15%. We have to do a lot of things in the logistics system. Virtual reality and connectivity are key. Today, at Volvo, we have more than 60,000 connected cars worldwide. Through these systems, you can plan when to update the truck software, and when it will be repaired, the truck will be able to conduct 100% of the time. Normal operation.

The growth of GDP has a close relationship with the growth of transportation. Therefore, we must ensure that we must conduct transportation in a sustainable manner. We need green transportation. These new technologies, virtual reality, and batteries are all green. task.
