Fully unmanned autonomous driving cars officially enter Shenzhen

To what extent can the driverless technology, which was once only seen and envied in science fiction movies, be realized now?
 
Previously, "AlphaGo" defeated Ke Jie. Can AI beat the "old driver" now?
 
August 1, Futian, Shenzhen. On the busy CBD road section, a car drove by. It was unmanned and the automatically rotating steering wheel was extremely eye-catching.
 
This is Yuanrong Qixing's fully unmanned autonomous driving road test in Shenzhen. This road test, a total of 21 kilometers, performed exceptionally in all scenarios. The fully unmanned autonomous driving car took every step carefully when passing through the narrow and congested two-lane road, and calmly avoided pedestrians who suddenly crossed the road and electric vehicles carrying goods in the opposite direction, attracting the attention of passers-by around.
 
There is no doubt that the era of driverless driving has arrived.
 
There is only one question left: Do you dare to get in the car and experience it?

This road test is the first road test of fully unmanned autonomous driving using a L4 level pre-installed autonomous driving solution car after the first intelligent connected vehicle management regulations in China officially came into effect.
 
From autonomous driving cars with safety officers "on duty" to fully unmanned autonomous driving cars, the algorithmic and engineering capabilities of the autonomous driving system have achieved a phased breakthrough, and the hardware and software equipped in the vehicle have passed the automotive grade standards. In order to ensure safety, Yuanrong Qixing has comprehensively upgraded the overall safety strategy of fully unmanned autonomous driving cars based on the existing technical architecture. If the vehicle encounters a long-tail scenario that is difficult to resolve, the system will promptly remind the cloud security platform to take over the vehicle or brake the vehicle safely based on different scenarios.
 

The appearance of the fully autonomous driving car being tested is almost the same as that of ordinary cars on the market.

 
During the road test, Yuanrong Qixing's fully unmanned self-driving car drove automatically according to the road speed limit. At the intersection of congested roads, it "keeps an eye on all directions" and plays games with oncoming vehicles, avoiding electric vehicles that run red lights, and finally passing smoothly.

This is also a car that can adapt to changing circumstances. On a narrow road, a fully autonomous car encountered two electric vehicles traveling in the opposite direction and loaded with huge plastic foam. Its perception system identified the "abnormality" of the surrounding vehicles in advance, and adjusted its own speed according to the direction and speed of the vehicles traveling in the opposite direction, so that it could pass safely. Faced with a pedestrian who suddenly crossed the road, the fully autonomous car did not panic. The system predicted that the pedestrian would continue to move forward, so it stepped on the brakes and gave way to the pedestrian.

The excellent performance of fully unmanned autonomous vehicles on complex roads with mixed pedestrians, motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles is the result of the technical accumulation over the past three years and the massive road test data of more than 7 million kilometers in the CBD areas of Shenzhen, Wuhan, Hangzhou, etc. Yuanrong Qixing has carried out multiple technical verifications and iterations on complex urban scenes, which continuously improves the system's ability to handle extreme scenes and truly practices the upgrade path of training "AI" into an experienced driver.

The vehicle used in this test is a "prototype" vehicle that Yuanrong Qixing has mass-produced in cooperation with car companies. Its appearance is almost the same as that of ordinary cars on the market, but the body of the car hides a secret - all sensors are embedded in the body, which is completely different from the traditional self-driving car with a "big flower pot" on the top. It is expected that in 2025, mass-produced self-driving cars based on this car will begin to enter the market on a large scale.
 

 
Yuanrong Qixing has been operating in the central city of Shenzhen for more than a year

 
Yuanrong Qixing CEO Zhou Guang said: "The road test of fully unmanned autonomous driving means that autonomous driving technology has the ability to replace human labor with machines, and the commercial value behind it is gradually becoming clear. With the implementation of the "Regulations on the Management of Intelligent Connected Vehicles in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone", the industry standards, traffic accident rights and responsibilities, and commercial operations of autonomous driving vehicles will be standardized, which will greatly benefit the commercialization of autonomous driving companies."
