"Crawler Intelligent System" officially released Li Shufu: The development of intelligent driving should be people-oriented

" What is the ultimate goal of intelligent driving ? As I understand it, it will be an 'intelligent community of shared future' consisting of safety, health, and interaction between people and vehicles. The key to intelligent driving is intelligence, its essence is cars, its characteristic is the networking of communication infrastructure, and the premise is to ensure safe, smooth and efficient traffic." Li Shufu, chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, said this at the 2019 Geely Auto Technology Day and the 2nd Longwan Forum.

In Li Shufu's view, the development of intelligent driving technology must abandon impetuous utilitarianism and return to humanism .

The current automobile industry is in the midst of a new round of changes. Traditional automobile companies are transforming, new Internet companies are entering the industry, and governments around the world attach great importance to it, elevating the development of smart cars to a national strategy.

The "new four modernizations" of automobiles are the core driving force of this round of technological change. The future transportation system will be reconstructed and the social form will change. Smart cars are coming to us, and the realization of smart driving requires the support of multiple key technologies and basic supporting technologies, as well as collaborative innovation, cross-border integration and the formation of alliances among all sectors of society.

In this context, Geely Auto closely follows the trend of historical development and has formulated a comprehensive intelligent network development strategy. According to Geely Auto's judgment, by 2020, the penetration rate of Internet of Vehicles is expected to exceed 51%, an increase of 34.5% compared with 2018; by 2030, autonomous driving is expected to account for 13% of the total mileage of car owners, and by 2040, this proportion will reach 66%.

Just in April this year, Geely Auto became the official partner of the 19th Asian Games in 2022. In the next three years, it will implement the "Geely Technology Joy Asian Games" strategy, and take this as an opportunity to launch a full-scale brand upgrade strategy to create a world-class technology brand. 

"Crawler Intelligent System" officially released

Through heavy investment in R&D, Geely Auto has now accumulated rich technology and experience in the field of autonomous driving . In 2018, Geely Auto became the first Chinese brand to achieve full mass production of L2 autonomous driving technology. As of April this year, Geely Auto has sold a total of 450,000 vehicles equipped with intelligent driving technology.

According to Feng Qingfeng, Vice President and CTO of Geely Auto Group, Geely Auto currently ranks first in the industry in terms of L2 configuration rate and market share of new mass-produced models, and has applied this technology to mass-produced models of the overseas Proton brand.

Based on a deep understanding of Chinese consumers and China's road environment, Geely Auto has developed autonomous driving technology that is more suitable for China. At this year's Longwan Forum, Geely Auto officially released the "Crawler Intelligent System". The system is based on existing mass-produced sensor configurations, uses V2X technology, and with the help of auxiliary facilities in the "cloud", "road side" and "parking lot side", it can achieve 100% autonomous parking.

It is understood that the "Crawler Intelligent System" will be mass-produced in 2021 and will be equipped on the entire product line. The system has the industry's fastest 3-month OTA continuous iterative update function.

"Leading development does not mean moving forward rashly. We always take safety as our philosophy." Feng Qingfeng said that Geely Auto will actively create a benchmark for autonomous driving safety, and the popularization of high-level autonomous driving will reduce 90% of traffic accidents.

"Autonomous driving brings together almost all the cutting-edge technologies of artificial intelligence today. my country's basic research and core technologies in artificial intelligence lag behind the United States, but its application technology and business models are faster than those of the United States, and each has its own advantages. The mass production of autonomous driving is both a no-man's land for the intelligent industry and has a 'leading goose' effect with strong spillover and driving force, and will become the backbone of my country's intelligent industry." said Li Deyi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

By continuing to make efforts in the field of autonomous driving, Geely Auto aims to become the "leader" in the mass production of autonomous driving vehicles.

Aiming to be the world's leading innovation leader

At present, competition in China's automobile market has upgraded from pure product competition to a multi-dimensional competition pattern of products, technologies and brands. Chinese brands should not only participate deeply, but also seize the historical opportunity to transform and upgrade. After experiencing the development stages of primary imitation, introduction and absorption, independent research and development, and breakthrough innovation, China's automobile industry must enter a high-quality development stage led by intelligence.

As the "number one domestic brand", Geely Auto sets an example by continuously improving its products, technologies, and brands and insisting on innovation. Today, Geely Auto has achieved a comprehensive layout in cutting-edge technology fields such as new energy, autonomous driving, and intelligent networking, and has achieved phased results, becoming a leader in the upward development of domestic brand car companies.

By hosting Geely Auto Technology Day and Longwan Forum, Geely Auto has always used leading technology, people-oriented experience and excellent quality to create a car-centric and enjoyable travel life, and to build Geely Auto into a global technology company with users at its core and innovation as the guide.

"Whether China's auto industry can continue to grow depends on whether it masters core technologies and has the strength and perseverance to lead in continuous innovation." An Conghui, President of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group and CEO and President of Geely Auto Group, said that Geely Auto will seize the opportunities of innovation and transformation in global new energy and autonomous driving, be open and win-win, and form alliances, striving to ensure that Geely Auto ranks among the top in the global auto industry's innovation and application capabilities within five years.
