April 6th, the arrival of the smart Internet era, smart cars have become a traditional car companies, Internet companies, parts and components and other vendors are competing in the field. However, the technical threshold of smart cars is high, and the demand for R&D funds is large. It is actually not a party's power to complete. Therefore, how to pool the advantages of various parties to promote the mass production of smart cars has become a topic of widespread concern in the industry.
From April 4th to April 6th, 2017, SAE World Congress 2017 was held in Detroit, the US automobile industry center. The SAE Global Automotive Annual Conference is one of the most industry-recognized technology exchanges and display platforms in the international automotive engineering industry, attracting many top industry companies and professionals from all over the world. Gu Weiyi, general manager of Baidu Smart Automotive Division, was invited to present and delivered the keynote speech “Redefining Autopilotâ€. He said that Baidu Smart Cars, as the leading smart car software solution and service provider, is committed to providing low-cost, mass-produced autopilot solutions and services to boost the popularity of smart cars and proposes “safety, comfort, Economic "three major value propositions.
Autopilot enters the commercial production stage: highways, automatic parking, and commercial vehicles will be used first
Gu Weixi believes that automatic driving is in an ivory tower out of the laboratory and gradually explores the stage of commercial mass production. Baidu Smart Car focuses on the needs of users in specific situations and is committed to solving the current challenges of smart car upgrades and effectively promotes the application and popularization of automated driving technology. He explained that at the current stage, Baidu focused on developing auto-driving solutions under three specific scenarios. First, the highway driving scene. Highway driving accounts for more than half of the total driving time, and the road environment is relatively closed and stable. It is an excellent application scenario for autopilot. Second, parking scenes in big cities. Parking problems such as tight parking spaces and dense parking spaces in big cities have seriously affected urban management and urgently need to be solved. Thirdly, trucks and other freight cars are driving automatically. In ports, mines, factories and other places where the environment is relatively closed, intelligent freight cars need only operate at a low speed according to a fixed route, which can save a lot of labor costs and fuel costs while reducing risks. Under these three scenarios, the current level of technology can fully guarantee security, so it has strong realizability.
Behind Baidu's massive efforts in smart cars is Baidu's constant accumulation of technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data. Baidu was ranked second in the 2016 “World’s Smartest 50 Companies†selected by the MIT Technology Review (MIT Technology Review). As the "leader" in the field of artificial intelligence in the world, Baidu is constantly seeking artificial intelligence technology in the driving scene in combination with the needs of the times.
Baidu smart car three value proposition: safety, comfort, economy
Why smart cars will replace traditional cars? What kind of good experience can human intelligence provide for a car? Gu Weijun gave his answer to this question. In his speech, he proposed "three major value propositions" for mass-production smart cars, namely safety, comfort and economy.
Gu Weixi believes that the most important prerequisite for the commercialization of smart cars is safety. He introduced that Baidu will solve the core problem of autopilot security through the combination of multiple sensors and high-precision maps. A multi-sensor combination consisting of a camera, ordinary radar and laser radar will be the mainstream hardware equipment for mass-produced autonomous vehicles. Among them, the laser radar has high precision and far-reaching visible range, but its cost is high. High-precision maps under artificial intelligence are an important force driving the revolution of automobiles and are the key to realizing automatic driving. Baidu's high-precision maps can accurately identify hundreds of targets such as traffic signs, ground signs, lane lines, and signal lights with relative accuracy. 0.1-0.2 meters, to the industry's absolute leading level.
From the perspective of comfort, existing self-driving vehicles are still not able to "imitation" human driving behavior, highlighting the "rigidness" and "suddenness" in cornering, braking, and acceleration. Gu Weijun said that if the car only uses the real-time data sent back by the sensors to make decisions, then there will inevitably appear a blunt "sudden" reaction, and Baidu's high-precision maps can exceed the limitations of the sensors, so that these sudden changes are pre-emptively Knowing, making judgments in advance and making decisions, avoiding the problem of instability in the autopilot situation and achieving a comfortable ride experience.
At the same time, Gu Weixi thinks that if mass production of autopilots is concerned, it must have considerable "economy", otherwise it is difficult to achieve commercial promotion in the true sense. Baidu is committed to establishing cost advantages through strong technological advantages. Baidu's high-precision maps have achieved more than 90% automated production. Baidu is the only high-quality, high-precision map data provider in China with highly automated production from acquisition equipment to data production. At the same time, relying on the Intelligent Map platform composed of multi-source sensing data processing, cloud service centers, and data centers, Baidu's high-precision map data can be updated in minutes. The powerful level of automation and mass production capacity make it a good balance between cost and efficiency.
In addition, Gu Weiyi also introduced Baidu's efforts to promote the commercialization of intelligent driving. At the CES conference in January 2017, Baidu announced the launch of the Road Hackers, an advanced automatic driving platform. It is reported that Road Hackers is Baidu's automatic driving AI model, based on Baidu maps and a large number of real-time driving data, choose reasonable real driving behaviors and habits as learning objects, continue to optimize the algorithm model, and ultimately achieve real-time in the real traffic conditions Excellent decision-making. Baidu defines Road Hackers as an open platform for autopilot, sharing data and technology for all developers, bringing together global forces and accelerating the development of autonomous driving technology.
At the same time, Baidu has also conducted in-depth cooperation with car companies, Tier1 manufacturers, and chip manufacturers to promote the intelligent upgrade of the automotive industry. At present, Baidu has launched strategic cooperation with more than 60 car companies, and its solution has been deployed on more than 200 models. In the future, Baidu will continue to exert its advantages in the field of artificial intelligence and work together with partners to help promote the large-scale commercialization and mass production of smart cars.
