Giant Million Million Self Driving Car Plans To Speed Up The Global Drive Automatically

Despite a bubble, autopilot has begun to speed up recently.

On the evening of June 23rd, according to media reports, Meng Xing, chief operating officer of dripping autopilot, mentioned in a recent online seminar that dripping is currently developing autopilot technology, and plans to put autopilot in the area where the network is in short supply, and hopes to operate more than 1 million autopilot taxis by its platform in 2030.

At the same time, although the current public acceptance of unmanned passenger cars still takes time, Meng Wah expects that by 2025, no passenger cars will enter mass production.

More than one drop is optimistic about the industry. As early as last April, Tesla founder musk announced that it would drive more than 1 million Tesla self driving vehicles on the road to provide services similar to the net car. This year, musk disclosed that the plan is still in progress.

"2020 -2030 is the" golden ten years "of automatic driving development. Under the policy driven global automatic driving technology is expected to develop rapidly." around the development of automatic driving in the next ten years, the Huatai Securities research team said, "we believe that the L3 level of domestic vehicle enterprises can be produced in volume in the coming 2020-2021 years. In 2025, it is expected to achieve highly intelligent driving at L4 level. With the introduction of superimposed products, the development of China's automatic driving industry is expected to accelerate.

Ambition of giants

Dripping autopilot's ambition is not groundless.

Statistics show that in August last year, drier's automatic driving Department upgraded to an independent company, focusing on automatic driving research and development, product application and related business development.

After independence, dripping autopilot continues to operate. According to the previous report of the economic report in twenty-first Century, in September, Shanghai was awarded the first batch of intelligent vehicle demonstration application road test license. It should be noted that the license is not limited to simple testing behavior, but also includes functionalized manned applications.

At that time, he told the twenty-first Century business reporter that didi is expected to travel to Shanghai in early 2020, and the first batch is expected to invest in 30 L4+ level unmanned vehicles.

Meanwhile, Didi also said it would use autopilot to pick up passengers in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen this year and expand the plan overseas in 2021.

The latest news is that people who are close to dripping are telling the twenty-first Century business reporter that the driverless car put in Shanghai will be open to the public in recent days. Shanghai people can make an appointment to experience the service of the unmanned vehicle on APP.

In addition to landing on the driverless car, dripping autopilot has also prepared "food and grass" recently. Just a month ago, Didi announced that its autopilot company had completed its first round of over $500 million financing. This round of investment is led by Softbank vision fund 2. This is the first external financing after the establishment of dripper autopilot. It is also the largest single financing of the domestic automatic driving company.

Drops said that after obtaining financial support, it will increase autopilot, vehicle routing synergy and related AI technology input, explore regional landing, help local "new infrastructure" development. At the same time, Didi will further deepen cooperation with the upstream and downstream industries, speed up the process of automatic driving mass production, and promote the transformation of the global automotive and transportation industry.

In recent days, Beiqi group has signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with dripping autopilot. The two sides will jointly develop high level automatic driving customized models through in-depth cooperation in the fields of automobile, artificial intelligence and shared travel, so as to promote the industrialization of automatic driving technology in China.

"At present, the cooperation agreement with the BAIC group is still at the frame level, but we can look forward to the future development." A person familiar with the matter told the economic news reporters twenty-first Century.

Player layout faster

At present, the development of domestic driverless vehicle has entered the initial stage of commercialization. Besides dropping, Baidu has also launched its own related plans.

In June 24th, Chengdu high tech Zone reached a strategic cooperation with Baidu. Baidu Apollo and Chengdu high tech Zone will jointly promote the construction of the first intelligent driving Benchmarking Project in Sichuan in the future, and launch the automatic driving operation service including Robotaxi. Previously, Baidu Apollo Robotaxi automated taxi service has been fully opened to trial operation in Changsha.

It should be noted that although the current public acceptance of unattended passenger cars takes time, the industry has already established a recognized time node.

Meng Wah expects that by 2025, no passenger cars will enter mass production. This coincides with the timing of the policy. In February this year, the NDRC jointly issued the "intelligent vehicle innovation and development strategy" with 11 national ministries and commissions, and put forward the strategic goal of domestic automatic driving development, which included the realization of the scale production of conditional automatic driving intelligent vehicle in 2025.

Car enterprises, including Changan automobile, Guangzhou Automobile Group, SAIC Group, the Great Wall, Geely, all plan to launch L3 level intelligent driving mass production vehicle or application this year. According to the intelligent driving planning of each car company, 2020 is the first year of the L3 grade vehicle launched in China, and it is expected to achieve highly intelligent driving at L4 level in 2025.

"We think that in 2020 -2021, domestic car companies began to introduce L3 level high-end models to highlight R & D strength, but the real implementation of mass production has yet to be promulgated by relevant laws and regulations." Huatai Securities research team said, "at present, the main difficulties of the development of automatic driving technology are high cost, immature laws and regulations, and immature technology. L5 level completely driverless implementation requires not only time but also AI technology to further break through.
