12? Month? 8? Japan, the world's largest autonomous driving country? MaaS platform was officially launched in Huangpu, Guangzhou. Is this Baidu? Apollo? A set of digital transportation operation mode for Huangpu District is also Baidu? ACE？ Intelligent transportation engine landed in the first system-level city.
This mode relies on the real-time linkage of car+road+cloud, which can ensure the automatic driving of taxis, buses, patrol inspections and work vehicles. 4? A group of unmanned vehicles are driving freely and safely on the streets of Huangpu, Guangzhou.
Cars are smart, roads are networked, and cloud engines are on standby in real time. Baidu? Apollo? What I prepared for Guangzhou this time is a "systematic" solution. It can be said that when everyone is still thinking about how to do a good job of unmanned vehicles, Apollo? Cars, roads and clouds have been opened, and the problem has been solved from the level of big traffic and big travel in the city. The key is to achieve landing and get recognition from the Guangzhou government.
China is the most potential and leading land of the Internet of Things. Is this network composed of cars, roads and clouds a local autonomous driving confrontation? Waymo？ Bicycle intelligence is a key card, and Baidu? Apollo? Undoubtedly ahead. The landing of Guangzhou mode means that unmanned vehicles have officially become a regular army with systematic combat capability from a group of "stragglers".
Before becoming a "regular army", the "individual soldier" combat capability was the foundation. It is very important what kind of arms this "individual soldier" is and what kind of skills he has.
From the overall business layout, Apollo? Is it a comprehensive benchmark? Waymo？ A form, network car, authorized private car, The four major areas of unmanned logistics vehicles and urban public transportation can be said to be tit for tat. In recent years, Robotaxi? Demonstration operation is very popular at home and abroad, but I don't know if you have ever thought about it. People's travel scenes are varied, and taking a taxi is just an option. Unmanned driving is definitely not a single scene, but the whole big trip problem.
It is based on the thinking of big travel that Apollo not only landed in Guangzhou this time? Robotaxi, what else? Robot bus. Are you online? Apollo? With the empowerment of taxis and buses, two important travel tools have been unmanned, and their advantages complement each other in travel scenes, providing more diverse travel modes for local residents. In contrast, to? Robotaxi？ Mainly? Waymo？ The product is relatively simple.
On the day before landing in Guangzhou, 12? Month? 7? Fuck, Apollo? Announced the exclusive license for Beijing unmanned test, which means that some unmanned vehicles that Apollo will test in Beijing in the future do not need to be equipped with security officers. Why does the Beijing government trust so much? Apollo? Really "let go" to run, or is it based on? Apollo? A series of previous road test results.
This year? 8? Baidu/kloc-sent a set of data in October, Apollo? Does the number of global patent applications for autonomous driving exceed 1800? Item, the total number of test licenses obtained exceeds? 190, including manned driving test? 120? Zhang, the test mileage exceeds 7 million kilometers.
And the latest data shows that Apollo? Has the unmanned test mileage in Beijing and Changsha exceeded? 52,000 kilometers. Apollo? Going? As the only city in the world? Robotaxi？ With what? Robot bus? Has the tourist service received more than 1000 passengers? 2 1? Ten thousand people.
In the face of dazzling achievements, Baidu set itself a "three-year small goal": Apollo? Going? Will the future service scale be? 3? Extend to? 30? City. If it can be achieved, it will far exceed? Waymo？ Existing? 600? A test car of this size.
In addition to manned this piece, Baidu? Apollo? We continue to make efforts in the field of segmentation, and the first one is aimed at the huge logistics market.
Baidu? Apollo? First, a decision was announced at the ecological meeting? x？ The plan aims to support unicorns that subdivide the track from multiple dimensions such as talents, technology, funds and scenes. x？ The first partner selected in the scheme is lion bridge, the head company in the freight field, and the two sides will set up a joint venture company? DeepWay, on the track of logistics, * * * fights with each other? Waymo？ A company like Tucson Future.
Generally speaking, in terms of product diversity and operation scale, Apollo? Already high? Waymo？ One end, but that doesn't mean a comprehensive benchmark? Waymo？ It becomes very easy, which also requires absolute "technical confidence."
In the polishing of autonomous driving technology, Baidu? Apollo? This time, a surprising answer was also given at the ecological conference.
What is Baidu's strategy? L4？ The automatic driving ability has been reduced and released, and a set of mature and reliable commercial products have been packaged. In line with the mass production rhythm of the main engine factory, it has made rapid progress in empowering private cars. This set is called. Apollo? Simplified version? What are the main product packages? AVP+ANP？ Let's talk about two parts one by one.
AVP？ Is it a set? L4？ Class A automatic parking service products can cover private parking spaces and public parking spaces, and help vehicles achieve completely independent parking functions. Baidu at present? Apollo? Has it been carried out with brands such as Guangzhou Automobile, Weimar and Great Wall? AVP？ Including cooperation, they will achieve it in three years? 100? 1 10,000 sets of mass production target.
ANP？ It's called pilot assisted driving, similar to Tesla's? Noah, Wei Lai? Tucki NOP? NGP can help vehicles realize automatic operations such as cruising, autonomous lane change, entering and leaving ramps, recognizing traffic lights and passing through construction sections according to the navigation planning path. ANP？ The difference between these products and similar products lies in their wider application scenarios. The current navigation system basically supports high-speed and city loop lines, but Baidu's? ANP？ It is said that it can also be used on urban roads.
From parking to driving, AVP? Combination? ANP？ There is a lot of imagination, and you are directly proud of Tesla? Fire department. With help? AVP？ Function, the vehicle completes the autonomous call in the parking lot and then passes? ANP, the car can take passengers to drive automatically in a specific scene according to the navigation path.
Although I haven't had a chance to experience it yet? Apollo? Lite, can't you? AVP+ANP？ Actual performance evaluation, but compared with similar products, Apollo? Simplified version? Some basic advantages can still be judged.
First of all, Baidu? Apollo? With a huge test fleet, these forward-looking technologies have been verified on test roads in many parts of the world for a long time before being dispersed to production cars. This kind of verification scale is by no means comparable to that of general OEMs.
In addition, there are high-precision maps that can help vehicles to "Oracle" the road ahead to ensure the safety and stability of autonomous driving. In contrast, directly benchmarking Tesla? FSD？ There is not even a high-precision map. Baidu itself is a supplier of high-precision maps, with absolute first-hand data and professional data sorting ability.
Finally, the ability of vehicle-road coordination. At present, the solutions on the market rely on bicycle intelligence and will not be interconnected with the roadside in real time. What about Baidu? Apollo? Always laying out smart transportation, ANP? Inherent ability to obtain vehicle-road coordination. That is to say, when carrying? ANP？ Private cars have entered the road of wisdom. Through cooperation with the road network, they are almost a car. L4？ Class automatic driving ability? Robotaxi？ Yes
From where? b？ End to end? c？ End, Baidu? Apollo? Ambition is obvious. Robotaxi？ And then what? Robot bus? Organic combination of let? Apollo? Going? Slightly better in product diversity? Waymo？ Better than others, Baidu's thinking about big travel seems to be more nuanced.
Rapid commercialization is a top priority for many autonomous driving companies, and in the process of commercialization, Baidu has also achieved good results. As far as the cooperation scale of the main engine factory is concerned, Apollo? Obviously, better than that again? Waymo？ Yes Will. L4？ It is very clever to package the ability into a lightweight product and entrust it to OEM. On the one hand, it can be realized quickly, on the other hand, it is a "dimension reduction blow" to the self-developed driving assistance of the main engine factory.
Baidu since 20 13? Since 2008, the layout of autonomous driving has been completed. 7? A few years. 7? Years of accumulation have created Baidu? Apollo? The ability of systematic operation and the scale effect of technology began to stand out. As Li Zhenyu, vice president of Baidu Group and general manager of intelligent driving business group, said at the ecological conference, "Baidu's technological persistence is welcoming accumulation."
