A few days ago, Baidu founder Li Yanhong took a self-driving car to the Baidu "AI Developer Conference" site to attract a lot of attention. Outside the venue, public opinion disputed the legality of self-driving cars on the road, and relevant departments intervened in the investigation. In the venue, Baidu President Lu Qi announced the opening of an autonomous driving platform called Apollo. Developers can build their own self-driving cars with Apollo capabilities. .

An open, complete and secure software platform will help Chinese and overseas automotive industry and autonomous driving partners to combine their vehicles and hardware systems to quickly build their own complete autonomous driving system.

The reporter learned that since the announcement of the Apollo project in April this year, Baidu has cooperated with more than 50 car companies around the world, including Chery, Beijing Auto, FAW Jiefang, Bosch Group and Continental. According to the Apollo open plan, Baidu plans to open a closed-circuit track autopilot in July 2017, open a fixed lane to follow the car in September, and automatically drive the simple urban road conditions at the end of the year... to achieve high-speed and urban roads by 2020 Automatic driving on the entire road network.

“Unlike traditional cars, smart driving vehicles will have a new industrial chain, in addition to traditional manufacturers, artificial intelligence companies, chip suppliers and other new players will also play an important role. At the same time, intelligent driving requires unprecedented industry collaboration, each Participants will be able to maximize their production efficiency and accelerate the arrival of the intelligent driving era,” said the relevant person in charge of the Continental Group.

“In the current rapid iteration of technology, practitioners engaged in autonomous driving research can hardly keep up with the industry trend by themselves.” Robert, CEO of AutonomouStuff, a US auto parts supplier, believes that with the increase of platform partners, The shared data, resources and technology will multiply, which means that developers and enterprises will directly enter the high-level research of autonomous driving, which will greatly increase the speed of the autonomous driving industry.

At present, technology giants such as Baidu, Google, and Apple have continued to invest in the field of automatic driving and have achieved results. At the same time, in terms of car companies, Tesla is relying on the advantages of the car factory and the platform technology to quickly promote the intelligent driving ability. It has already given the L5 (automatic driving according to the standards of the US traffic management department) level kit on the official website. Some car companies are taking a gradual route to assist driving.

However, in China, the autonomous driving technology is still in the stage of “mainly driving, supplemented by automatic driving”.

"It is recommended that China consider the laws and regulations on automatic driving test as soon as possible, but it is still too early to fully unmanned laws and regulations on the road." Du Fangci, consultant of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said.

Zhang Peng, founder of Geek Park, believes that at the national level, there is a need for policies, standards and regulations, such as whether a driver's license or a special license is required. At the same time, the insurance system is updated for self-driving cars. The same protection as other cars.

The reporter noted that the National Vehicle Network Industry Standard System Construction Guide (Intelligent Network Linked Vehicles (2017)), which is seeking comments, proposes that by 2025, the system will form an intelligent network standard system that can support high-level automatic driving; More than 100 intelligent networked vehicle standards cover intelligent, automatic control, networked collaborative decision-making technology and technical requirements and evaluation methods related to automatic driving functions and performance under typical scenarios.

Insiders pointed out that the current automobile industry is in the stage of intelligent upgrading. "Internet +" "Made in China 2025" has created opportunities for domestic automobile brands, and intelligent network has become the direction of many car companies.

"I hope that through the joint efforts of both parties and other Apollo eco-partners, we will promote the construction of laws and regulations in the autonomous driving industry, accelerate the mass production of intelligent driving technology, and enable autonomous driving to enter the lives of Chinese people faster." General Manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. Assistant Lu Weiyi said.
