SHANGHAI, Sept. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With the evolving
landscape of the global automotive industry, Cango Inc. (NYSE:
CANG) ("Cango" or the "Company") is issuing a bi-monthly industry
insight called "CANGO Auto View" to bring readers, drivers and
passengers up to speed with what's on offer in the automobile
market, what trends are emerging, and what holes need to be
plugged.
Below is an article from the Company's 4th edition for
June 2021.
Autonomous driving is the future, and when it comes to
autonomous driving solutions, Baidu Apollo has always attracted
much attention. With Baidu's support, Apollo has accumulated L4
autonomous driving test mileage of 10 million kilometers.
Prior to this, Baidu Apollo unveiled Apollo Lite, its
closed-loop solution for pure visual self-driving on urban roads.
According to the company, this is the only L4 pure visual
perception solution for urban roads in China.
According to Wang Liang, chairman
of Apollo Technical Committee, Apollo
Lite can support parallel processing of 10-channel cameras
and data amount of 200 frames/second. The maximum frame loss rate
of single visual link can be controlled below 5‰, realizing
360-degree real-time environmental perception. The visual detection
range for front obstacles is stabilized at 240 meters.
In 2020, Baidu launched ANP (Apollo Navigation Pilot), based on
the L4 assisted driving on complex urban roads powered by Apollo
Lite, high-precision maps and the vehicle-to-everything (V2X)
platform. Through dimensionality reduction of L4 technologies,
high-precision maps, V2X and the mass production solution for the
pure visual system, ANP provides users with assisted driving
capability with zero intervention from start to finish. ANP enables
vehicles to seamlessly switch from AVP to urban roads, pass ramps,
ring roads, highways, high-speed JCT, ETC, and return to urban
roads, completing point-to-point autonomous assisted driving.
Baidu Apollo has opened the Apollo database, that is, Apollo
Scape large-scale autonomous driving dataset to provide solutions
for industry users. It is expected to achieve pre-installation mass
production in 1 million vehicles in 5 years.
Didi Chuxing has also made remarkable progress in self-driving.
During the Shanghai Auto Show this year, Didi introduced Didi
Gemini, a new hardware platform, which incorporates critical
hardware upgrades including electronic components and vehicle-level
experience. Mounted on the Volvo XC90 redundancy model, DiDi Gemini
is architected with multi-layered redundancy protections in four
aspects, including high-performance sensors, on-board autonomous
driving system, remote safety assistance system and high
compatibility with the pre-installed car model. Gemini will be a
major feature for DiDi's next generation of
self-driving fleet.
DiDi Chuxing claims that its Gemini autonomous driving platform
has significantly increased the number and variety of sensors, and
enhanced the computing power and other functionalities of the
system. The new vehicle includes up to 50 high-resolution sensors,
achieving 700 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of performance
with imaging speed as fast as tens of millions of point clouds per
second, while keeping the overall cost unchanged.
Zhang Bo, CTO of Didi Chuxing and
CEO of Automatic Driving, said that safety concerns drove Didi to
do research on automatic driving. Didi Gemini designs multiple
redundancy layers, so that the main and backup systems are both
independent and collaborative, providing multiple security
guarantees for users. It is also intended to lay a good safety
foundation for the unmanned test phase.
In addition to launching a new hardware platform, Didi
Autonomous Driving has also recently upgraded its software. In
early April this year, Didi released the world's first video of
autonomous driving without disengagement for 5 consecutive hours,
showing stable performance in complex scenarios including driving
in continuous backlighting, overtaking on narrow roads, turning
left without protection, and U-turn at a large intersection. In
June 2020, Didi Autonomous Driving
started manned test service to the public in Shanghai. In March this year, Didi Autonomous
Driving announced a collaboration with Huadu District, Guangzhou on an Intelligent Connected Vehicle
(ICV) industry project.
Companies including DJI, SenseTime, Sequoia, PonyTron, QCraft,
and Desay SV have also borne some fruit in self-driving.
Among them, the DJI D80/D80+ intelligent driving system can
cover the 0 to 80 km/h speed range and is suitable for urban
expressway scenarios. The DJI intelligent parking system has four
types of application scenarios including assisted parking, memory
parking, autonomous parking and smart summon.
Desay SV's first autonomous driving domain
controller based on Nvidia's Xavier chip has been installed on
Xiaopeng P7 for mass production. Currently, the main focus is on
L4~L5 autonomous driving and automotive network safety, with
extensive research on the architecture and algorithms.
The SenseAuto smart cabin solution by SenseTime consists of
Driver Monitoring System (DMS), Occupant Monitoring System (OMS),
Keyless Entry, Virtual Companion and multiple in-vehicle
infotainment (IVI) functions powered by augmented reality (AR). It
has established in-depth cooperation with carmakers such as Great
Wall WEY, Chery JETOUR and NETA Auto. SenseTime has cooperated with
more than 30 domestic and foreign industry-leading partners since
2018 and covered over 13 million vehicles in mass production.
