Lin Qingxia is an idol of many people, and she revealed that she is a fan of Zhen Zhen, and the two have a very good relationship in private. They will meet for afternoon tea.

??In addition, Lin Qingxia shared a fate with the late Shao’s Huadan Li Jing. Li Jing had a difficult life in her later years and could not afford to pay the rent. Once, Lin Qingxia met Li Jing and expressed her desire to write a story about Li Jing. Qingxia said that when she saw Li Jing walking, she needed to use a cane, her body was soft, and her left arm was swollen badly, which was caused by surgery to remove her breasts and lymph. Before leaving, Qingxia gave Li a red envelope and wanted to ask Li Jing to eat her favorite sea cucumber again. Who knew that more than ten days after the meeting, the news of Li Jing’s sudden death came.

On January 15, the Education Working Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee held an expanded meeting to listen to the party secretaries of 160 colleges and universities in the province’s 2023 work on grass-roots party building and make comments.

Suddenly, the 16-inch MacBook Pro replaced its 15-inch predecessor and made it onto Apple’s official website.

Beijing time on the evening of November 13, Apple in the absence of advance maintenance of the official website, the same as AirPods Pro, suddenly launched a 16-inch MacBook Pro, the previous rumors will only be late, not absent.

Coincidentally, in May this year, Apple just updated the 15-inch MacBook Pro, and after a lapse of six months, Apple once again significantly updated this product line, more frequently than in previous years.

To say who can experience this frequency more, it is better to buy a 15-inch MacBook Pro two days ago. Because compared to 15-inch, 16-inch MacBook Pro is more worthy of professional users.

Although the starting price of the 16-inch MacBook Pro is as high as 18,999 yuan, this does not stop its target users.

Looking at the body from the outside, like the 15-inch, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is available in silver and space gray. Not much has changed in appearance, the biggest change is in its screen.

Open the computer, the 16-inch display screen has a resolution of 3072×1920, ppi is 226, and the maximum brightness is 500 nits. The P3 wide color gamut and original color display are retained. As a comparison, the previous 15-inch resolution was 2880×1800 and ppi was 220.

Although the display size has become larger, the display effect of the screen is more delicate, and the supported colors have also been upgraded from "million colors" to "million colors". This display is the best in the current MacBook series, and it is obviously more desired by Pro users.

The display screen has become larger, but Apple has not changed the fuselage much. The length, width and height of the 16-inch are 35.79cm, 26.59cm, and 1.62cm respectively, and the weight is 2kg, while the 15-inch is 34.93cm, 24.07cm, 1.55cm, and the weight is 1.83kg. Almost a 16-inch screen is stuffed into the 15-inch fuselage.

For Pro users, this increase in size and weight is negligible.

By the way, the 16-inch MacBook Pro should have a higher screen ratio. This is also the high screen ratio and narrow bezels we pursue on mobile phones.

The camera in the center of the screen has been upgraded to a Face ID camera as rumored, and it is also a FaceTime camera that supports 720p.

In 2015, Apple, which pursued lightness, added a butterfly keyboard to the MacBook at that time. But this upgrade has been criticized by consumers for its high failure rate and frequent after-sales service. Most importantly, the butterfly keyboard has a short keystroke and a hard typing feel, which is not conducive to long-term coding.

Although Apple later improved it, the effect was still unsatisfactory.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro finally replaced the butterfly keyboard with a scissor keyboard. This is a signal that future MacBook products may be replaced by scissor keyboards, and we officially say goodbye to butterfly keyboards.

However, this scissor keyboard has been optimized by Apple, and its key travel is 1mm. Apple calls it a "second-controlled keyboard". This may also be one of the reasons for its slightly thicker body. As for its typing experience and mute effect, it needs to be actually known. But one thing is for sure, it must be better than the butterfly keyboard.

Key positions have also changed. From top to bottom, the first is that the function area of the Touch Bar is more distinct. The exit key (esc) and the power key (also the fingerprint key) are isolated from the touch area. At the same time, the former is changed from the touch key to the physical key.

This change will solve the "accidental touch" problem that Touch Bar has been criticized by users before, and improve the efficiency of blind typing. For example, pressing the power button but pressing Siri, pressing exit but not easy to find the position.

Further down is the optimization of the arrow keys. The size of the left and right arrow keys is finally no longer the same height as the up and down keys, but has become the same size button. Now you won’t be so awkward to press.

The speakers on either side of the keyboard have been increased to six, still three microphones. Compared with the old model, it will have stronger stereo effect. Apple claims that it offers dual vibration low-efficiency subwoofers for better bass effect.

After talking about external changes, let’s talk about internal improvement.

In fact, this is the last point to mention. As a representative of the top MacBook products, the 16-inch MacBook Pro was born for professional users.

The processor of the 16-inch MacBook Pro starts from the Intel 9th generation Core 6-core i7 processor, and the maximum optional 8-core i9 processor can reach 5.0GHz. Its performance is 2.1 times that of the 4-core MacBook Pro.

At the same time, Apple upgraded the heat dissipation system for this hot processor, officially claiming that its heat sink has increased by 35%, and the maximum continuous power of the MacBook Pro can therefore be increased by up to 12W.

The biggest change comes from the graphics processing unit. The standard and high-end versions of the 16-inch MacBook Pro are equipped with an AMD Radeon Pro 5300M graphics processing unit and a 5500 graphics processing unit, respectively. The standard 4GB video memory is available, and the maximum option is 8GB. This upgrade allows professionals to handle better image work.

Take the common Final Cut Pro X as an example, its rendering speed can be improved by an astonishing 90% compared to the 15-inch MacBook Pro. Therefore, Apple claims that this change can improve the performance of the previous Radeon Pro 560X by 2.1 times.

On the other hand, Apple has also raised the upper limit of options. The storage of the 16-inch MacBook Pro starts from 512 GB solid state drive, and the high-end version is 1TB, with a maximum optional 8TB solid state drive. The memory also starts with 16GB DDR4, but the maximum optional 64GB.

With such powerful performance and storage, there must be a better battery life. The 16-inch MacBook Pro boosts the battery to 100 watt-hours, and comes standard with a 96W charger. As a comparison, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is 83.6 watt-hours and the charger is 87W. Therefore, its battery life has also been increased from 10 hours to 11 hours (calculated by Apple’s wireless network browsing standard).

Other than that, there are no more changes to the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Therefore, it is a bit of a pity in terms of network connection. The 16-inch MacBook Pro does not yet support Wi-Fi 6.

Oh, no, and the price. The 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at 18,999 yuan, with a 2.6GHz i7 processor, 8GB + 512GB. The specific launch date has yet to be announced.

There is no doubt that with the development of the web, video content has become more and more popular. Apple is catering to more and more professional creative workers with products, especially those who have a high demand for images.

Although this group of people is so small, Apple’s product power is enough to make the notebook industry enter its twilight years, which is very rare in the industry.

"Buy or not?"

In Apple’s promotion, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is called "a studio that runs with you." The above problem is naturally solved.

This starting price may be able to buy two laptops for ordinary people, but it is a professional tool suitable for photographers, video workers, game developers and other practitioners who are used to macOS. Whether it is suitable for you depends on your needs and budget.

Recently, my friend asked me to recommend a 5G mobile phone to him, and I did not hesitate to recommend the Meizu 18 series. This series of products is outstanding in strength and comes standard with the Flyme 9 system. Only high-quality mobile phones like this are probably worth pursuing.

New shape, small screen full of blood

In terms of appearance design, the Meizu 18 series has obvious differences from previous versions, such as the return of the rear camera group to the popular vertical layout, but the small screen design that Meizu 18 boldly adopts is also expected by everyone. The screen is only 6.2 inches, which is very suitable for small-handed female users. I believe that small screen enthusiasts can’t hold back their inner love. At the same time, the punching design of the front-facing camera of the screen is in the middle position, and the symmetrical design brings better visual effect. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder don’t have to worry.

From the side, the front of the Meizu 18 series is designed with a four-curved surface, and the arc of the border transition is also more soft. Coupled with the AG matte back cover, the design of the details is more perfect, making the Meizu 18 series feel even better. Even the Meizu 18 Pro with a 6.7-inch screen is comfortable to hold.

Top chip, excellent performance

In terms of core configuration, the Meizu 18 series is equipped with a 5nm Snapdragon 888 processor, and the Adreno 660 GPU core is integrated on the nail-sized chip. In the current market, it can be called the most powerful flagship processor, plus the full blood version of LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 flash memory, the performance has been upgraded again. Another domestic performance flagship was born, and the performance surpassed many peers, which was widely recognized by everyone.

As for the battery configuration, the Meizu 18 Pro is equipped with a 4500mAh battery, which supports 40W wireless overcharging. The battery life is still good, and the charging speed is also very fast. As for the battery capacity of the Meizu 18:4000mAh, which is OK. In addition, the mSmart 5G solution that performed well last year has also been upgraded to 2.0, adding innovative Wi-Fi 6E technology to make the 5G network faster and more stable. I think these configurations are very outstanding in flagship mobile phones.

Personally, Meizu 18 Pro is the most powerful thing is to take pictures. This phone is equipped with a 44 million pixel front-facing camera, which is beyond everyone’s expectations. The configuration is too high to be comparable to the flagship rear camera, and the rear camera is equipped with a more pure night shooting effect. Samsung GN1, Sony IMX616 ultra-wide-angle macro, OV08A10 telephoto combination, and added functions such as extreme night scene, night scene can also easily shoot a professional feeling. Looking at Meizu 18, it also has high-quality camera hardware, 6400W super anti-shake full-scene imaging system, which is worthy of recognition.

Three zero system Flyme 9, safe and worry-free

In terms of security, Meizu 18 series has achieved the most in the industry. In terms of privacy and security protection, Flyme 9 has added four new security protection magic weapons. It completely refuses to shoot, eavesdrop, and track. Flyme 9 is no weaker than Apple iOS in terms of security. The system experience of mobile phones is not ignored. From 0 advertisements, 0 pushes, 0 pre-installed three zero experience, we have also seen the improvement of Meizu, which is also the biggest highlight of Flyme 9.

From the overall performance, the Meizu 18 series can be called the most powerful flagship in China, especially with the support of Flyme 9, this title is even more worthy of the name and is worth recommending to friends and family.

Recently, the traffic police detachment of Fuxin Public Security Bureau, the Fuxin Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, and the Fuxin Branch of China Mobile brought "traffic safety takeout" to the takeaways. The police combined the work characteristics of the takeaways and common traffic violations to remind the takeaways not to run red lights, retrograde or speed in order to grab time during the delivery process, and always keep in mind safety first.

　　The company released June 2021 sales: June sales totaled 173,000 vehicles, year-on-year -11.0%, January-June cumulative sales 1.2008 million vehicles, cumulative year-on-year + 44.5%; June production totaled 165,000 vehicles, year-on-year -15.1%, January-June cumulative production 1.127 million vehicles, cumulative year-on-year 37.5%.

　　Analysis and judgment:

　　Independent growth slows down, Ford improves month-on-month

　　The company’s sales volume in June was 173,040 units, + 22.2%/-11.0% year-on-year and -6.2% month-on-month. We judge that the quarter-on-month decline was mainly affected by the lack of cores. It is expected that with the impact of the lack of cores beginning to ease in the third quarter, the company’s sales growth rate is expected to pick up; the cumulative sales volume from January to June was 12.08 million units, + 45.5%/+ 44.5% year-on-year in 19/20. The data of the Passenger Federation shows that the year-on-year growth rate of wholesale sales of narrow passenger cars in June was -5.1%, and the company’s sales growth rate was weaker than the market average. By brand:

　　1) Self-owned brands (Chongqing + Hebei + Hefei, the same below): June sales of 91,871 units, + 33.5%/+ 0.4% year-on-year in 19/20, -11.2% month-on-month; January-June cumulative sales of 701,926 units, + 79.1%/+ 67.0% year-on-year in 19/20.

　　2) Ford: Sales of 21,752 vehicles in June, + 34.7%/-1.7% year-on-year in 19/20 and + 11.7% month-on-month. We judge that the improvement in the month-on-month was mainly due to the increase in the contribution of the re-listing of the Ferrez model. From January to June, the cumulative sales volume was 120,994 vehicles, + 61.0%/+ 24.2% year-on-year in 19/20.

　　3) Mazda: June sales were 10,068 units, + 4.4%/-20.2% year-on-year and + 4.4% month-on-month; January-June cumulative sales were 60,330 units, -1.4%/+ 7.7% year-on-year.

　　The proportion of independent sales in June was 53.1%, -3.0pct month-on-month, mainly due to the monthly decline in sales of independent brands; Ford’s June sales proportion was 12.6%, + 2.0pct month-on-month. It is expected that with the improvement of product structure and high gross profit brought by the launch of new cars, it will contribute important increments in the future.

　　Investment advice

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 12　Question: Schools also need to regulate eating takeout? Why is there such a "ban"?

　　Xinhua News Agency "China Network" reporters Li Xiongying, Cao Yiming, Tang Yang

　　In the Internet age, takeout has become a dining choice for many groups due to its time-saving and labor-saving characteristics. However, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages has issued a regulation banning takeout into dormitories, which has sparked discussion among netizens. Recently, Chinese online reporters conducted an investigation and interview on this.

　　What is the purpose of banning takeout?

　　A few days ago, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages issued the "Notice on Not Allowing Disposable Tableware and Lunch Boxes to Enter the Campus". The notice requires that in order to strengthen the management of food safety and hygiene on campus, starting from November 1, the school will prohibit takeaway, disposable lunch boxes and plastic bags from entering the dormitory.

　　Convenient and flexible takeaway fast food, why are schools shut out?

　　Su Junlu, director of the Student Affairs Office of Guangxi University of Foreign Languages, told reporters that the school’s introduction of this regulation is mainly based on considerations such as safety and environmental protection.

　　Su Junlu said that at present, the food delivery merchants are mixed with fish, the food production environment is uneven, and there are certain hidden dangers in food hygiene and safety. At the same time, some plastic bags and disposable tableware used for catering may release toxins under high temperature and other conditions, which may cause damage to the health of students. In addition, the delivery vehicles have also disrupted the daily management of the school while increasing the hidden dangers of campus safety.

　　Su Junlu said that the purpose of the school’s introduction of this regulation is to let students develop good living habits. "During the daily management work of the school, some students were found to stay in the dormitory for a long time, eating takeaway while surfing the Internet and playing games." Su Junlu said, "The takeaway makes life easier, but also makes some students develop lazy habits."

　　In addition, Su Junlu introduced that the increase in plastic waste has put tremendous pressure on environmental protection, and students in school should also start with small things around them, try not to use disposable plastics and carton packaging, and contribute to green environmental protection.

　　Are safety and hygiene grounds for the ban?

　　In fact, the ban on takeout at Guangxi University of Foreign Languages is nothing new. In recent years, some domestic universities have successively introduced bans on takeout and packaged food entering the campus, basically on the grounds that foreign food has safety issues and is not conducive to environmental protection.

　　The reporter combed through the opinions of netizens and found that some netizens questioned whether there was some kind of unwritten agreement between Guangxi University of Foreign Languages and the school cafeteria. The regulations were issued to protect the operators of on-campus restaurants.

　　Su Junlu told reporters that the school’s introduction of this regulation only prohibits the use of plastic products to pack hot food into the dormitory, does not prohibit students from eating outside the school, and does not require students to go to the school cafeteria to eat.

　　What did the students think about the school’s ban? The reporter interviewed several students at random on campus.

　　Liu, a freshman student, told reporters that during the peak dining hours, the school cafeteria has a long queue time, and eating in the school cafeteria often takes up lunch breaks, while takeout provides great convenience.

　　Regarding safety and hygiene issues, many students said that since they choose takeout, they must take responsibility for their actions.

　　"For the sake of environmental protection, all the teachers in the school are prohibited from driving to work, okay?"

　　Liu Junhai, a law professor at Renmin University of China, said that strictly speaking, the university’s ban does limit students’ right to choose: the relationship between students and food delivery companies is a civil contractual relationship, which is in principle free of contract, and the school does not control when, what and how students buy.

　　In addition, Liu Junhai said that there is an educational contract between the school and the students, and the students living in the school should accept the management of the school dormitory. As a property manager, the school has basic property management rights, such as not bringing firecrackers and other items that endanger public safety into the dormitory. But takeaway itself is not a dangerous product and does not hinder the public safety of the school. Although the school is under great pressure to clean up, the school also has the obligation to clean up after the students pay the tuition fee.

　　Takeaway should be sparse rather than blocked

　　Many students and netizens have expressed that the reason for choosing takeout is on the one hand because of the convenience and flexibility of takeout; on the other hand, it is also because the school cafeteria itself has objective problems such as serious queues and single food tastes.

　　Zhang Xiang, a professor at Fudan University, said that although lunch boxes may not be safe and cause environmental burden, school administrations should also consider the other side of the problem: why do students choose takeout, and should schools use more thought in cafeteria management?

　　A smart plate system recently unveiled in the third cafeteria of the Emerald Lake Campus of Hefei University of Technology has allowed students to bid farewell to the state of running to the cafeteria after class.

　　At noon, the reporter saw in the dining area of the cafeteria that the students took the dishes on different plates into the tray according to their own taste. As long as they put them on the checkout table, the number of dishes in the tray and the total price will be displayed immediately at the end point. Take out the campus card and swipe it lightly, and the whole settlement process is completed in an instant with a "beep".

　　"This is really good, and it reduces the waiting time in line. In winter, you don’t have to worry about the food being cold, and the efficiency is improved." Li Meng, a dining classmate, said.

　　Mei Rui, manager of the third canteen at the Emerald Lake Campus of Hefei University of Technology, said that they hope to provide more convenient logistics services for students through the application of new technologies.

　　Su Junlu also said that the cafeteria of Guangxi University of Foreign Languages has started to increase the number of dining tables, chairs and sales windows, and plans to open 24-hour dining windows to do its best to meet the needs of students.

　　Students’ choice of takeout may bring some problems, but the solution should not be a one-size-fits-all ban. "First, let takeout operators strengthen their environmental awareness and provide degradable and safe environmentally friendly materials; second, school cafeterias strengthen innovation and provide diverse exploration in terms of time, queuing methods, dish selection, etc.; third, encourage students to eat in cafeterias and strengthen education for students in environmental awareness and good habit formation." Liu Junhai suggested.

　　For Google, there are too many assets under its command, and it is in the order of "100 million" at random. However, the satellite image company that was acquired for 500 million dollars was recently reported to have been sold for 300 million dollars. Although we can’t guarantee the true accuracy of the figures, industry rumors say that Google sold it at a low price. That is to say, this business is sold at a loss by Google, which may also indicate that Google has diluted the satellite image market, or has restarted planning for future development, and even needs to divest these assets. Of course, maybe Google is gradually transforming into a "lightweight" company and needs to divest some less important businesses. It’s just that Google Maps was such a beautiful product line for a while. Won’t divesting satellite image business like this affect map products? What is Google’s ambition behind the scenes, or is it helpless?

　　Has the industry reached a consensus on "selling at a low price"?

　　Google and mapping start-up company Planet Labs announced on Friday that the latter will acquire Google’s satellite imagery company Terra Bella, which Google bought for $500 million about two years ago. Under the agreement reached between the two parties, Planet Labs will acquire the Terra Bella business and satellites, while Google will continue to provide satellite imagery for its map products through licensing. Obviously, Google still needs maps urgently. Although it is sold, it still needs the business product line.

　　According to insiders, Planet Labs’ acquisition price is lower than Google’s $500 million when it acquired Terra Bella at the time, but the price of this transaction is still more than $300 million. The source also revealed that Google will become the majority shareholder of Planet Labs and continue to invest in Terra Bella based on the expectation of long-term success. This also shows that Google cannot give up the map business, and it cannot give up. Too many product lines still need the support and support of Google Maps, and the divestiture may be just the divestiture of assets.

　　The market interpreted the deal as the latest effort by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, to manage expenses, which it is currently taking company-wide. The subconscious is that Google has gone to great lengths to manage expenses, and it may have to divest everything that can be divested. This may also be to "streamline" and help Google have a better financial forecast, right?

　　In fact, over the past year, Alphabet has scrapped plans to offer internet services through solar-powered drones, stopped expanding its Google Fiber internet service, and slowed down the development of drone delivery services. In addition, several company executives have also left. It is reported that several map executives have been poached by Uber. For a ride-hailing platform, maps are also life infra.

　　In addition, Alphabet’s earnings report last month showed that the company’s "Other Bets" business suffered a loss of $1.088 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016, with revenue of $262 million. Perhaps this is the internal factor that forced Google to keep shrinking, and it is also a loss of $1 billion. If it cannot be transferred and adjusted in time, the burden in the future may become more and more large. Even if Google is rich, it cannot withstand such tossing. It may be the best way to shake hands earlier.

　　Poor Terra Bella?

　　For Terra Bella, formerly known as "Skybox Imaging," which Google bought in 2014 for $500 million, it has seven data collection satellites and provides services to third parties in addition to Google Maps.

　　Google spun off this business because "it is more cost-effective to buy image data directly from a third party than to launch and operate its own satellites." Google, which used to be not short of money, now needs to be careful, just like Apple wants to sue Qualcomm. The original patent fee is just a drop in the bucket, but when the performance declines, and the share and profit both decline, Apple has to cut back on revenue and needs to "wipe oil" from Qualcomm. For Google, is it also a bit of "sympathy for the same disease"?

　　In fact, no matter who the owner is, it has little impact on Terra Bella. Its business is still within its familiar range. For Planet Labs, this acquisition will make it more competitive. Of course, for some experts at Google itself, it may be necessary to "invest in another owner". In fact, some executives have chosen to leave.

　　Planet Labs has been struggling to find customers, according to people familiar with the matter. It operates dozens of satellites, each weighing around 10 pounds (4.5 kg), but can only provide low-resolution images. Terra Bella’s satellites, by contrast, are more powerful and capture higher quality images. The acquisition will undoubtedly help Planet Labs expand its business.

　　There is also a saying in the market that with the third-party industrialization of the map business, it is also a good thing for other application users, such as Apple and many mobile phone manufacturers, online car-hailing platforms, etc. After all, after not being under Google’s control, the competition may be more fair. Of course, for Google, there are other secrets.

　　The glorious decade of Google Maps

　　The mapping business was once an unusually prosperous and glorious business for Google. For a time, the application of time was also overwhelming. Google Maps began as a living atlas, with MapQuest, the leader in the online mapping industry at the time, providing a printable list of directions. But Google took a different path: superimposing navigation paths on the map.

　　Moreover, Google Maps can also load maps directly on the web browser, making it convenient for users to explore the whole world anytime and anywhere. There is no need to install special software. At that time, the experience was super strong, and many people quickly fell in love with it. In 2005, no one could really understand the potential of web maps, and no one knew that it would play a crucial role in the future of online life. But it turned out that this business is too powerful. It is reported that the users of Google Maps have already broken through the 1 billion. It has become Google’s second largest asset after the search engine.

　　Google Maps has promoted the concept of "location" on the Internet from the very beginning. In fact, we are now one of the most commonly used in map applications about "location". The reason why modern maps have developed to this day may also be due to the appearance of Google Maps, of course, including the emergence of various LBS applications. Of course, Google is not the first to make maps. As early as 2003, Google had a product called "Search byLocation" (search by location). The service was launched in September 2003 as an experimental project in Google Labs, which was probably Google’s first map-related project.

　　In 2004, Google made three modest acquisitions of Keyhole, Where2 and Zipdash. Keyhole was the largest of the three deals, but the exact price has not been disclosed. At the time, the three-year-old company, which had 30 employees, was selling an enterprise-grade satellite mapping software for $69.95. The key technology was to stitch together satellite imagery into large maps of the world and then cut them into millions of pieces, allowing users to get a bird’s-eye view of the earth and then locate specific locations. In 2004, Zipdash, a start-up company with only three employees, was developing a mobile transportation app. Interestingly, because they were not registered, it was not even a "company". At the time, Zipdash only supported Nextel phones. Zipdash only sold for 2 million dollars. Google picked up a big bargain. Where2 developed a web version of Google Maps, Keyhole developed a desktop version of Google Earth, and the mobile version of Google Maps developed by the smallest Zipdash became the most important product.

　　It is reported that Google Maps’ traffic has been rising due to two things: Google Maps has added satellite data from Keyhole, allowing people to overlook their homes from the sky; Google has optimized the code to make Google Maps run faster. Since then, Google Maps’ growth has been uncontrollable. Selling the satellite imagery business now does not mean that Google does not make maps. On the contrary, it is one of the important pivots of Google. Especially in the era of mobile Internet, this business is indispensable.

　　Uber’s Small Ambitions

　　It is reported that Uber plans to invest $500 million to start drawing its own maps, and the plan also includes launching map viewing vehicles in the United States and Mexico to collect data and images. Uber’s ride-hailing service has always relied on Google Maps, and Google has no plans to enter the ride-hailing service field, so there is no conflict of interest between the two companies, and the two companies are also happy to cooperate on maps.

　　However, as both companies move towards autonomous driving that relies heavily on maps, the former partners have become competitors, and neither company expects further cooperation on maps. It makes sense for Uber to create its own maps to replace Google Maps.

　　Moreover, Uber’s mapping needs are focused on the accuracy of roads and locations, and Google Maps currently includes too much content, some of which is not relevant to Uber’s business. As Uber points out, "Google is great, but information like ocean terrain has nothing to do with Uber."

　　So Uber wanted to start from scratch and create its own maps. They hired Brian McClendon, the head of Google Maps, as a vice president and in charge of the map business. Then, a multi-year partnership agreement was reached with DigitalGlobe, a satellite imaging company, whose satellites would provide Uber with high-definition images.

　　Then, after Brian McClendon, Uber hired a second Google Maps executive, Manik Gupta, director of product management for Google Maps, who has been with Google Maps for seven years, to become director of mapping products.

　　Uber hopes to get rid of its dependence on Google Maps by strengthening its mapping business, so as to better control its own assets. In the future, more products or physically connected applications may come from third-party providers, so as to better participate in the competition. Of course, making maps is also a lot of pressure for Uber, and both technology and investment are key.

　　Google’s sale of its satellite imagery business is undoubtedly beneficial for divesting assets and reducing expenses. Coupled with the fact that its own product space will not be greatly affected, it may also be a better choice for Google Maps to divest its "hardware" business and focus on its own content. With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, mobile applications will become more diverse, and the demand for maps will also give rise to more development opportunities. This is not just a mobile application, including unmanned cars, unmanned aircraft, etc., will rely on the simultaneous follow-up of maps, and the extension of technology will also be more diversified. We also believe that more technologies and products will emerge, truly allowing users to have a better application experience.
