Introduction | future has come?
Wei to car more and more like “high imitation Tesla”, every move all scraper. Wei sudden increase in share price last night to 37 percentage, return to $ 2.
Following the announcement in October sales rose 61 percentage, this is a shot in the arm just released news: Wei comes with Intel’s autopilot Mobileye technology companies reached a strategic cooperation, travel services for the passenger car market and intelligence, L4 level will build on the Wei to the second-generation platform autopilot intelligent electric models. Mobileye Mobileye EyeQ system is responsible for providing chips and related software, Wei to be responsible for development of vehicle autopilot system-level integration and mass production models.
before Mobileye already reached similar cooperation of many manufacturers, let alone this time Wei to stock back to life, I have to say is a miracle? To know L4 autonomous vehicles production, but ten years later things.
But the miracle happens happens, the reason behind is that this step in the Wei to just pick up the nodes on the North American auto market is driving technology and investment. This time the autopilot comeback, car ownership will no longer belong to the host vendor, but broader technology innovation company.
a, L4, life and death Agency
at leading technology companies
From March last year, Uber unmanned after the test car killed a pedestrian accident, the global development of autonomous vehicles encountered unprecedented setbacks. Despite the accident investigation later showed that the fault is not autonomous vehicles. But the indisputable fact is: September 2016 to March 2018, Uber unmanned vehicle road test, over 37 cases have occurred in crashes.
in real road conditions, the Tesla turned on Autopilot state, killing at least 12 traffic accidents in the world, including last year, Florida 2 dead 1 injured in the tragedy, including three cases of fatal accidents. Therefore, in order to enhance road safety and driving skills automatically open and start their own safety is being questioned.
car poly-jun think that this question precisely reflect, Uber driverless cars in real traffic scenarios significance test of where – in real traffic, has a strong computing power between intelligent automobiles and pedestrians and cyclists are not calculated force, mutual understanding how to live together? In the 5G network, cars and trucks, vehicles and infrastructure Jieke Internet, and automobile and transport users – people, how the Internet?
In fact, people need is not an automatic driving smart cars, but safer, more efficient and intelligent transportation intelligent travel solutions, smart car just to solve part of the solution. The Intelligent Transportation L4 level is highly automated driving base car mass production.
With Uber car accident gradually fade out the horizon, more high-tech enterprises and institutions, such as Mobileye, Uber, even Baidu, and actively seeking to host and car manufacturers L4 level of cooperation. This time, the high-tech companies not only have more say in the Internet car field, in the traditional automotive manufacturers, in addition to silicon and software in the vehicle matching automatic driver assistance systems also began to dominate.
For example, Uber stopped unmanned road test is also not idle more than a year a. Because Pilot Assist technology to provide Volvo’s strong dissatisfaction, Uber independent development of pedestrian monitoring software. XC90 match on the same, the reaction may be reduced to the minimum distance sensor 88 m, the fastest response time of 4.5 seconds, four seconds faster than the original. Volvo XC90 return in December, Uber will be equipped with the software of unmanned road test, the effect of people watching.
two, L3, game console makers spread
When the high-tech enterprise focused on the L4 level height autopilot skillWhen the surgery, car manufacturers are the host level L3 semi-automatic false start driving a car production. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volvo, and even Toyota, Weimaraner are announced: will be delivered in early 2021 L3 autopilot at the end of 2020 production cars.
The real question is, how many Chinese users now have a L2 level car? The answer is less than 5 percentage.
At present, many new cars are known as autonomous driving technology has L2 level, specifically refer to? Remember the following technical terms, to prevent being fooled dealer.
L2 level of a smart car to have: adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, automatic brake assist, automatic parking. So how do the assembly of these systems? By the end of 2018, equipped with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping function of new models, accounting for only 8.8 percentage can collect all four technical level of L2 Smart cars less than five percentage.
According to the NDRC and the Ministry of Planning, the proportion of new cars by 2020 at least 30 percentage intelligent, L2 assembly rate autopilot technology upgrade this year really fast. However, at present with a full set of L2 Smart car, the need to increase hardware costs about $ 50,000, which also made the smart new models threshold stays at more than 200,000 price range.
One can imagine that the majority of Chinese people have not even tried L2, L3 can expect the degree of how high?
So, L3 L2 higher than in the end where? Autopilot classification now commonly used by the American Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) definition. Briefly, Ll is the linear acceleration and deceleration can be achieved in terms of steering, or a single function; L2 of possible to achieve linear acceleration and deceleration and steering; L3 allow the driver to get rid of, the driver only needs to take over when prompted; L4 is not required to drive members participate, automatic driving under certain scenarios. L5 is complete autopilot, without human intervention. L4, L5 is often said unmanned. While technically difficult leap from L2 to L3 is the greatest.
to level L3, the L2 addition to the system, to liberate started to achieve from low speed to high speed automatic pilot, but also real-time connectivity and high-definition map perception automatic parking system parking environment, and these skillsThe core operation is not in the hands of car manufacturers. These functions rely on high-definition map of V2X technology-based interconnect technology 5G and Baidu, Germany and other high-provided.
visible, BMW’s L3 Audi production vehicle, in addition to the price of gas can be expected is not grounded, use more like a “cabinet holding the refrigerator when” game.
car poly Summary
before Wei to announce collaboration with Mobileye day, the US Penske Corp announced in 2021 in Indianapolis Speedway Indy racing challenge organized by the autopilot to Formula one racing shape, 190 km / h speed automatic pilot, to compete for $ 1 million. Already US and South Korean universities five register for the competition.
this news may seem lace, but really hard-core. If the success of the event, will demonstrate autonomous vehicles can cope with the different needs of the market and after modification, then the host car manufacturers will no longer be necessary. This has the potential to revolutionize the entire autonomous vehicles industry pattern.
Specifically, the L3 level autonomous vehicles production begins, the host car manufacturers will gradually lose the ability to control technology and markets, and for consumers, it is loved. IT leading high-tech enterprises, the autopilot for the future to provide more extensive and more efficient solutions, will also enhance the faster pace of development of autonomous vehicles. Cum when, ADAS automatic driver assistance system developed in Europe only 15 years to 75 percentage assembly rate will also become a historical story.
