Under the wave of intelligence, how do consumers understand the "soft power" of automobile intelligence?

It would not be an exaggeration to say that 2022 is the first year of intelligent driving. Lidar and high-computing chips have appeared on different models, and the functions of intelligent assisted driving have also developed from the most basic AEB (automatic emergency braking system) and LCC (lane centering assist system) to navigation that can be used on urban roads Assisted driving (NOA).

However, do you feel uneasy about using these functions? In fact, almost all current mass-produced cars are assisted driving at L2 level and below, rather than so-called "autonomous driving". Therefore, the person responsible for driving safety is still the driver, which gives some "space" to the assisted driving function. Some functions of the models on the market are not that easy to use when the car is delivered, or even unusable, and have to wait for later OTA upgrades.

In fact, it is difficult for users to understand the true level of intelligent driving of a car. If you look at the hardware, taking the current new force "Wei Xiaoli" as an example, the new cars of the three brands all use NVIDIA Orin chips, and the parameter differences in sensors such as lidar are not large. In other words, in the era of software-defined cars, just looking at the hardware is not enough to understand a car.

So, how can ordinary consumers understand the "soft power" of a car, and how can smart cars be "disassembled"?

Automobile intelligent evaluation requires more “professionalism”

From the most basic function-AEB, automatic braking system. This function is designed to automatically brake when it detects people, vehicles and other obstacles ahead when the vehicle speed does not exceed 80km/h (which varies according to different models).

This test sounds simple, but this test requires approaching the target obstacle multiple times at different speeds to test whether a car can successfully brake automatically, so it has a high test cost. On daily urban roads, it is almost impossible for car owners to use their own vehicles for testing. In addition, this test also needs to be carried out with reference to GB/T 39901-2021 "Performance Requirements and Test Methods for Passenger Car Automatic Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS)" formulated by the national standard. Incorrect operations will also lead to deviations in the test results. .

Media and institutions join forces to create professional tests

In recent years, Baidu's automotive content and service platform Youjia has been actively promoting intelligent car evaluation content and launched the original program "Youjia Intelligent Evaluation", which has covered more than 30 models so far. In 2022, the program will test subdivisions ization, launching special daytime and nighttime AEB tests. The test aroused attention and heated discussions among the audience and manufacturers. The AEB showdown between the old and new forces produced "unexpected" test results. It even promoted the algorithm upgrade of the OEM and launched the first AEB model that integrates Lidar into AEB. Working conditions plan.

As Youjia continues to deepen its efforts in the field of intelligent vehicle evaluation, a rigorous and professional evaluation system has become a core factor in whether the program can systematically output "dry information". At the beginning of 2023, Youjia announced new plans for the program.

At the recently held "2023 Youjia New Energy Vehicle Influence Forum", Youjia officially announced that it will launch strategic cooperation with the National Automobile Quality Inspection and Testing Center (Tongzhou, Beijing). The two parties will work together to focus on the field of automobile intelligence, jointly formulate and release A scientific and complete automobile intelligent evaluation system. Among them, the evaluation system developed for the direction of automobile active safety will focus on various scenarios and working conditions such as daytime, nighttime, extreme weather, cars, pedestrians, two-wheelers, crossing, rear-end collision, etc., to test AEB capabilities to the most comprehensive level as much as possible. .

"Driving Active Emergency Braking Evaluation System"

The National Automobile Quality Inspection and Testing Center (Tongzhou, Beijing) is a professional institution authorized and recognized by industry authorities such as the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the State Administration for Market Regulation; it is mainly engaged in road transport vehicle standard models and automotive products. Announcement and other automobile testing and inspection work. In recent years, it has continued to deepen its efforts in the field of automobile intelligence, and has been involved in research on advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) testing and evaluation, autonomous driving system testing and evaluation and other research topics. It is authoritative in testing in the field of automobile intelligence.

In terms of test equipment, it includes internationally advanced test equipment required for ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance System) and autonomous vehicle testing, including EVT target dummy cars, EVT target dummies, full-scale simulation target cars, simulated two-wheeled electric vehicles, simulation Professional testing equipment such as bicycles, target high-speed mobile platforms (GST), combined inertial navigation systems, vehicle-to-vehicle communication control systems, and VBOX ADAS high-precision data acquisition systems can carry out ADAS function verification tests, autonomous driving scene tests, and intelligent vehicle terminal tests.

Test equipment that meets the relevant requirements of the Euro NCAP standard

The National Automobile Quality Inspection and Testing Center (Tongzhou, Beijing) not only has professional testing equipment, but also built multiple test sites such as high-speed loops, smart driving test roads, weather simulation rooms, etc. based on the test facilities of the Ministry of Transport's highway traffic test site. , can simulate different rainfall, visibility, lighting environments, etc., provide a variety of simulated road conditions, and test the true performance of the vehicle's intelligent capabilities under different working conditions and road scenarios.

This strategic cooperation between Youjia and the National Automobile Quality Inspection and Inspection Center (Tongzhou, Beijing) will enhance the professionalism and authority of the automotive media in the field of automotive evaluation. With the blessing of professional institutions, the evaluation system of "Youjia Intelligent Evaluation" will receive a more systematic "optimization and upgrade". At the same time, both parties have also made prospects in terms of testing venues and environments, and the creation and upgrading of professional testing equipment. The "strong alliance" between automotive media and professional organizations can provide consumers with more professional, intuitive and convincing intelligent evaluation results. This is exactly what is missing in the current intelligent driving trend. We look forward to more media , providing users with more professional and intuitive automotive intelligent evaluation content.
