The downstream is the application, which is relatively less worthy of attention at present, at least in the low-altitude economic field.
However, even in the mid- and upper-stream sectors, there are hundreds of companies, and it seems that a hundred flowers are blooming.
The most well-known is the DJI drone, which has long been used in food delivery, which can be regarded as the prototype of the low-altitude economy.
China has also formed a complete industrial chain for the three major pure electric components that drive low-altitude aircraft: electronic control, batteries, and motors.
At least for now, these hundreds of companies have panama telegram data at least two major challenges to overcome.
1. Chip.
The idea of domestic chip substitution has been talked about for many years, and there have indeed been many breakthroughs.
However, we have to admit that China still has serious shortcomings in advanced process chip manufacturing, which has greatly restricted technological breakthroughs in many industries, at least including the low-altitude economy.
2. It’s still a cost issue.
Perception and avoidance, intelligent driving, battery upgrades and even supply chain integration capabilities, each of them costs money.
At this stage, it is difficult to put the technology into practical use. If you can’t apply it, you will have no income.
At the same time, the maintenance costs of infrastructure such as communication base stations and landing fields are also astronomical.
