Empowering global customers, can China's smart driving travel across the ocean?

A wave of drivable technology development is sweeping across the entire automotive industry. Established car companies that once dominated the market are also actively pursuing intelligent transformation in this wave.
 
At this year's International Automobile and Intelligent Mobility Expo (IAA Mobility 2023) held in Munich, Germany, the number of upstream and downstream exhibitors in China's intelligent driving industry doubled from the previous one. Many representatives of international car companies stopped at the intelligent driving booth to learn more about intelligent driving. The speed of development is surprising and enviable.
 
Chinese intelligent driving companies have also shown sufficient sincerity for the arrival of many international customers and created local solutions for customers. They firmly believe that under the wave of the times, this IAA Mobility 2023 exhibition will allow them to go in both directions.
 

Yuanrong Qixing participated in the IAA Mobility 2023 exhibition

 
Yuan Rong Qixing is one of them. On September 4, the opening day of the exhibition, Zhou Guang, CEO of Yuanrong Qixing, announced that the company is preparing to take its technology overseas, and Germany will be the first stop. Next year, a European operations center will be established in Germany to simultaneously release the overseas version of the DeepRouté - Driver 3.0 solution (hereinafter referred to as the Driver 3.0 solution), two smart driving products , D-PRO and D- AIR , and smart driving light trucks. Currently, Yuanrong Qixing is in technical discussions with a number of international car companies. In order to fully adapt to the German market, Yuanrong Qixing made localized adjustments to the system according to German road conditions and users' driving habits. Since most highway sections in Germany do not have speed limits or have very high speed limits, Yuanrong Qixing's smart driving system has strengthened functions such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and emergency steering assistance to avoid potential driving dangers to the greatest extent. . In terms of vehicle control, which German users attach great importance to, Yuanrong Qixing continues to strengthen the coupling between the intelligent driving system and the vehicle chassis , further improving the control of the vehicle by the intelligent driving system, allowing the vehicle to perform better when changing lanes, overtaking, accelerating, and decelerating. Silky and smoother. In addition, in order to comply with the legal characteristics of German traffic that emphasizes right of way, Yuanrong Qixing also optimizes the perception and decision-making planning algorithms for German right-of-way rules such as turning to yield to go straight, auxiliary roads to yield to main roads, and those who have not entered the roundabout to yield to those who have entered the roundabout, allowing the system to “When in town, do as the Romans do.”
 

 

 

 
Yuanrong Qixing’s Overseas Strategy

 
Zhou Guang believes that the Driver 3.0 solution can adapt to the German market faster than its peers. Because the Driver 3.0 solution has precise perception capabilities, it does not need to be equipped with high-precision maps. It can achieve point-to-point high-end intelligent driving on urban sections and highway sections with navigation maps alone. Compared with the system equipped with high-precision maps, Driver 3.0 has stronger adaptability and higher cost performance.
 
Not only that, Zhou Guang introduced that Driver 3.0 is a data-driven system with strong data closed-loop capabilities. If you encounter complex long-tail scenarios, the system can also filter the data on its own, complete labeling, training, and integration, and use a large amount of data to promote autonomous learning of the system and solve long-tail scenarios. In terms of functional safety, the Driver 3.0 solution has a multi-layer redundant safety mechanism and complies with the ASIL-D functional safety level vehicle regulatory process development requirements. It is expected to obtain ISO international functional safety certification in 2024 .
 

 
Yuanrong Qixing adjusted the intelligent driving system in accordance with "German habits"

 
It is reported that the hardware configurations of the overseas versions of the two smart driving products D-PRO and D-AIR are the same as the domestic versions. "The cost of our hardware is very attractive to car companies. I am very optimistic about the German market. This is the birthplace of automobiles and is home to many leading companies. I believe that under the wave of smart driving, our smart driving technology can Empower these companies and help them explore more markets," Zhou Guang said.
 
The overseas version of the D-PRO system will be equipped with NVIDIA DRIVE  Orin chips . Rishi Dhall, vice president of NVIDIA's automotive business, said: "From Robotaxi business to mass production business, NVIDIA has witnessed the rapid development of Yuanrong Qixing. We believe that in NVIDIA DRIVE Orin Empowered by chips, Yuanrong Qixing will bring safer and more robust intelligent driving systems to international automobile manufacturers , making the automobile industry better."
