Installing laser thunder reached the trend, the car circle could not help but the boss of the car circle could not help but the named friends have not reached the "university level"

Recently, many collision accidents will assist the safety of driving technology and push it to the cusp of public opinion.

On August 18, Wei brand CMO Qiao Xinyu expressed his views on social media: "The industry said that 2022 is the first year of laser radar on the car. I don't see it. At present, many intelligent assistance driving does not cooperate with laser radar."

He believes that auxiliary driving is not an unmanned driving, especially the model without lidar. "We cannot challenge fancy marketing at the cost of life. In addition, in critical situations, active braking only has limited brakes for vehicles to reduce the speed at the time of possible collision." Qiao Xinyu said.

After that, he reached a dynamic on the topic of the first year of the#laser radar to get on the car in the first year. Some friends and merchants are also equipped with lidar, but they are also limited to applications under high -speed conditions. For assistance driving, urban auxiliary driving is applied to the application of urban road conditions with more complex road conditions. This is the level of 'university' level. "

While expressing the point of view, Qiao Xinyu did not forget to call for his own product, saying that "the new models of the We brand have realized the intelligent piloting of cities such as intelligent followed navigation paths", and even asserted that "this is the first important sense of city to realize mass production of city auxiliary cities auxiliary Driving high -end new energy (model), at least, is the lead! "

This sharp view has attracted the comments from many netizens. Some netizens commented that "don't look at the advertisement to see the effect, look forward to seeing the new model of Wei brand on the road", and some netizens inquire about "I want to ask, how much? (How much money)."

Urban auxiliary driving "get on the car"

At present, with the development of autonomous driving technology, major car companies have begun to lay out mass production of urban domain assistance technology, which is also considered to be the key point for the second half of the autonomous driving industry.

Data show that high -speed scenarios only account for 10%of the driving time of ordinary users, and it is not particularly high -frequency. In the city market, it can "nuggets" from 90%. Car companies can get qualifications to enter the final competition of autonomous driving.

He Xiaopeng, the founder of Xiaopeng Automobile, once publicly throws out the conclusion: "The mass production city market -assisted driving+full -loop closed -loop capability is completed = (smart driving) the second half of the voucher."

However, compared to the more closed environment of high -speed scenes, the complex scenes in the city market are far more than the former. It also means that the vehicles not only need to make more reactions, but also need to plan for the next period. There are many information such as space, speed, acceleration and other information. At present, companies such as Xiaopeng Automobile and the True Zhixing have assisted driving functions in the marketing city market.

It is worth noting that the car companies must first pass the high -precision map review of high -precision map review. Because of this, companies that realize urban leadership functions generally add a sentence in the official statement -gradually open the function according to local laws and regulations.

It is worth mentioning that at present, there are already companies that continue to explore to get rid of high -precision maps. For example, the NOH of the Ji Zhixing adopts the technical route of "light map, emphasis on perception", so that the vehicle is as much as possible to rely on its own sensor to complete the advanced auxiliary driving.

The "struggle" between the two camps

Behind Qiao Xinyu's point of view is hidden in the two major camps in the field of autonomous driving: one is the "visual solution" represented by Tesla, and the other is the "laser radar represented by most car manufacturers. "Paid", the root of the two sides is different from the concept.

The "Visual Plan School" hopes to use as little sensors as possible to reduce the cost of car, and the "Lidar" is based on safety considerations. By using a combination of multiple sensors to ensure redundant properties, ensure that a type of sensor appears when a certain type of sensor appears. When the failure may not run in a specific situation, there will always be a spare sensor working normally.

Over the years, the views between the two camps have been arguing. Tesla CEO Musk even said that "people relying on laser radar are destined to fail" 3 years ago. To this day, Tesla not only abandoned the use of radar sensors, but also announced a high -profile "Tesla Vision" system that rely on cameras.

From the current point of view, domestic car companies are fans of "lidar", including Xiaopeng Automobile, ideal car, Weimar Automobile, Great Wall Motors, Jihu and other car companies have announced the launch of laser radar models. Therefore, some people say that 2022 is the first year of laser radar "getting on the car", and it is also a critical year.

According to statistics from Sisi Steam Research, in the first half of this year, the installation volume of domestic passenger car laser radar reached 24,700. In the second half of this year, more than 10 new laser radar cars were delivered in China. It is expected that the total installation volume for the whole year is expected to exceed 80,000.

Due to the frequent "visual scheme" accidents represented by Tesla, it has been in the disadvantage in this battle. However, laser radar also has "bugs", especially under haze and Blizzard, such as haze and Blizzard, there may be omissions, so its performance requires a longer verification cycle. In addition, the cost is also a difficult problem for the "laser radar". An industry insider revealed in an interview with the media that lidar manufacturers are giving a fixed -point production project to car companies, and the general price is US $ 500 to $ 1,000. Some opinions believe that whether it is a "visual plan" or "lidar", there are corresponding challenges and pain points at this stage. A self -driving solution is bound to rely on the perception level. There is also the intelligent development of the bicycle, the edge calculation of the V2X, etc. behind it to synergize the development of the side. As long as the purpose of autonomous driving can be achieved, any solution is optimal and most effective.
