In the next three or four years, the "car driver", which has just existed for more than 100 years, may gradually withdraw from the historical stage, just like the newspaper typewriter. At the 2017 Global Driverless Conference, which was opened yesterday, Deng Zhidong, a professor at the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, predicted that by 2021, driverless cars would enter the first year of the industry.
What is even more encouraging is that from the descriptions of Xiaopeng Automobile and Singular Auto, which were attended by the day, China is likely to achieve “curve overtaking†in the driverless automobile industry.
"China has the unparalleled conditions for developing intelligent connected cars and Internet cars, and it will be a great success," said Yin Chengliang, deputy dean of the School of Mechanical and Power Engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University and deputy director of the National Engineering Laboratory for Automotive Electronics Control Technology.
He said that in the field of Internet technology, there is still a certain gap between China and the United States, but China has become the largest Internet application country. This shows that China has the conditions to build a new Internet ecosystem, including “building a new ecosystem around intelligent networked carsâ€.
In his view, the future development opportunities of China's driverless cars have been overwhelming, and the informationization and networking of automobiles and the cooperation of automobile companies with Internet companies are the general trend. The integration of the Internet and automobiles is promising.
Rong Hui, deputy dean of BAIC New Technology Research Institute, is more radical. Taking shared bicycles as an example, he believes that in a very short period of time, traditional auto companies will be replaced by emerging companies.
Fortunately, China's relevant management departments are also actively promoting the "future car" industry.
"When is the first year of the industry of driverless cars, I can hardly judge, but the relevant government departments are actively studying how to give necessary support." Wu Shengwu, deputy director of the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said to the reporters that there are many issues. Being studied.
"With the development of technologies such as cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, mobile Internet of Things, next-generation information technology, artificial intelligence, etc., automobiles are gradually evolving to networking, platform, service and digital, with assisted driving and partial Auto-driving, conditional auto-driving, and even highly automated driving, car intelligence, electrification, and networking have become important development trends for automobiles," he said.
At the inaugural meeting of China Intelligent Networking Automotive Industry Innovation Alliance held on Monday, Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the next step will be to strengthen top-level design, formulate standard regulations, break through key technologies, upgrade infrastructure, and improve information security. Doing work.
In the "Long-term Development Plan for the Automotive Industry" jointly issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Science and Technology not long ago, "increasing key technologies for intelligent networked vehicles" and "developing demonstrations for intelligent networked vehicles" are two important contents. The reporter noted that the plan also includes an "Intelligent Networked Vehicle Propulsion Project", whose time node is 2020. According to the plan, by 2020, the assembly rate of new cars for car DA (drive assist), PA (partial automatic driving), CA (conditional automatic driving) system will exceed 50%, and the assembly rate of network-driven driving assistance system will reach 10%, satisfying wisdom. Transportation city construction needs. By 2025, the assembly rate of new cars DA, PA and CA will reach 80%, of which the assembly rate of new cars of PA and CA will reach 25%, and the height and fully self-driving cars will enter the market.
"If optimistic, no more than 1 million unmanned vehicles will appear on the road in 2020," said Yu Yinan, head of automatic robotics for Horizon robotics.
