·Industry: Unmanned car mass production business still has difficulties

As one of the development directions of the automotive industry, China's mainstream car and Internet companies have begun to join the manufacturing camp of driverless cars. However, the industry believes that the mass production of unmanned vehicles still has difficulties. It is recommended that relevant enterprises arrange in advance, build deep cooperation with the platform, and work together to seize the development opportunities of this industry.

Turning on the mobile phone can make the driverless car parked in the parking space with simple operation. The operation can also stop the car in front of it... The Red Flag brand of FAW Group has demonstrated to the public that the mobile phone is called between the two cars. Unmanned operation such as parallel parking. According to Liu Qiuyu, the chief engineer of the Automotive Electronics Division of FAW Technology Center, this red flag H7 map car has functions such as mobile phone calling, automatic parking, formation following, and automatic driving. It is scheduled to be launched in 2018.

In addition to FAW, Changan Automobile said that Changan Automobile has mastered dozens of intelligent technologies and plans to achieve complete driverlessness by 2025. In April of this year, Changan Automobile driverless car arrived in Beijing after nearly 2,000 kilometers of long-distance real road travel, and withstood the test of various complicated road conditions such as mountains, hills and plains.

On December 10 last year, Baidu's driverless car also carried out a full-automatic driving test in Beijing, achieving multiple complex driving actions such as deceleration, lane change, overtaking, up and down ramp, turning around, and completing the high-speed drive. Switching between different road scenes such as high speed. “We have established autonomous vehicles as one of the company's strategic directions, and established a dedicated autopilot decision-making committee and independent business unit, and actively seek out in-depth cooperation with well-known parts manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers and travel service platforms at home and abroad. Cooperation, research and development of self-driving cars for practical products." Huang Linli, director of the Baidu Development Research Center, said, "We are ready to commercialize driverless cars."

In addition, Tencent, LeTV, Alibaba and other Internet companies have also released their own car-making plans.

It is understood that in the aspect of autonomous driving technology, the research and development routes of major automobile companies are generally convergent, starting with safety systems such as lane keeping, automatic parking, blind spot detection, etc., gradually increasing obstacles such as active avoidance and autonomous steering to lane change. Technology eventually evolved into driverless.

“The most significant advantage of driverless cars is convenience and safety.” Huang Linli said that driverless cars can reduce traffic accidents caused by human factors, free people from repetitive work such as driving and navigation, and enhance vehicle carrying capacity. Optimize vehicle and road configurations and implement new car rental models.

At the same time, the current four major problems of pollution, energy consumption, safety and congestion in the automobile society may also be alleviated by the technical update. “The traffic efficiency of driverless cars is twice that of manned vehicles, which helps to alleviate the greenhouse gas emissions caused by congestion and slow driving.” Li Jun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and deputy chief engineer of China FAW Group, said.

However, although China's research on driverless cars started early and received much attention, the industry generally believes that not only in China, global unmanned vehicles are still difficult to mass-produce in the short term. Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd. executives have said that the cars that people can see in the movies that can be unmanned and loaded with high-tech equipment are often a hope for the development of the car, and it may be far away. .

Some experts believe that the implementation of mature highly intelligent unmanned vehicles may take decades. At present, the driverless cars developed by some well-known car companies can drive in deserts and even highways, but there are still many difficulties in dealing with the complicated road conditions of the city.

Not only that, but the car network closely related to intelligence also has security risks. With the car diagnostic equipment available on the market and an application software, you can attack the smart car. Through remote control, hackers can make a driverless car suddenly turn off during driving, or open the trunk to steal.

Wang Yunpeng, dean of the School of Transportation and Engineering at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said that smart car systems need about 60 million lines of code to run, and unmanned vehicles must have more than 200 million lines of code. This results in a car intelligence system that is much more complex, more vulnerable than an intelligent system for computers and mobile phones, and is difficult to protect and cannot directly use existing IT security systems.

At the same time, the industry also believes that driverless driving is an important development direction of the automotive industry. At present, some car powers in Europe and the United States have joined forces in the research and development of smart cars. China should also increase policy support for the development of driverless cars and increase Innovation drive, promote product information and intelligence, and lay out the driverless automobile industry in advance.

Experts suggest that the top-level design should be carried out as soon as possible to speed up the planning and construction of infrastructure facilities such as intelligent transportation systems. Li Jun said that the intelligent networked car has been included in the "Made in China 2025" strategic plan, but the current layout of driverless cars is still insufficient, and the forward-looking technical standards, laws and regulations and insurance should be accelerated. The study is based on evidence of driving qualifications, driving and accident accusations.

Second, promote the in-depth cooperation between domestic traditional auto companies and Internet companies. In the manufacture of driverless cars, traditional car companies have the basic accumulation advantages, specializing in the development of various intelligent auxiliary systems to meet the market demand; Internet companies can rely on their existing resources and technology to have data advantages. Experts believe that the two types of enterprises rely on their own research and development of driverless cars have advantages and disadvantages, cooperation can complement each other, the government should set up a platform to promote cooperation between the two types of enterprises, accelerate the development of the domestic driverless car industry.

Furthermore, establish a new investment system for the automotive industry. “For traditional auto companies, it is not easy to maintain survival. The development of new energy and unmanned driving technology is even more difficult.” Jia Xinguang, chief analyst of China Automotive Industry Consulting and Development Corporation, said that it is recommended to refer to foreign venture capital-led high-risk projects. The model is to improve the investment system in China and guide social capital into high-tech and new-field projects.
