You know, at last year’s Science and Technology Day, Yin Tongyue said, “Chery’s new energy is going to be impolite!” After that, Chery New Energy is really going full steam ahead.
This year, Chery’s monthly sales of new energy have crossed the 40, 000 and 50, 000 mark one after another, approaching 60, 000 in September, and challenging 100000 vehicles in December.
In fact, Chery has also accelerated its momentum in terms of intelligence.
CTO Gao Hua, Executive Deputy General Manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and president of the General Institute of Automotive Engineering and Technology Research and Development, announced at this conference, “Chery Zhizhi has officially entered the first echelon.
” According to the official statement, Chery smart cars have fully entered the first year of NOA, and more than a dozen models will be put on the market in 2025, from the unmapped urban NOA to the independent flagship high-speed NOA, relying on end-to-end technology to accelerate large-scale production of NOA, achieve domestic and international production of double million independent intelligent vehicles, and accelerate the implementation of the manifesto of “Chery Intelligent impolite”.
, a major release of its own flagship NOA, press the million-level mass production acceleration button, Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. deputy general manager, Dazhuo Intelligent CEO Gu Junli, “from the overall market point of view, China’s intelligent driving penetration rate is expected to reach 60% in 2024, high-end intelligent driving (NOA) market penetration will usher in rapid growth in the next three years.
” Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. Deputy general manager, Dazhuo Intelligent CEO Gu Junli said in an interview with the media such as Geshi Automobile a few days ago.
According to Gu Junli, it will fight for Chery to fully enter the first year of NOA, from product integration to self-development of products, to achieve the goal of mass production of one million units in 2025 and 2026 double million units worldwide.
The arrival of the independent flagship high-speed NOA undoubtedly presses the acceleration key for the realization of this goal.
Recently, Chery officially announced that Da Zhuozhi is driving its own flagship highway NOA, which means that Chery has surpassed itself from a “follower” to a “leader” in the field of intelligent driving.
It is reported that Da Zhuo Zhi drives its own flagship high-speed NOA with voice control, humanoid interactive SR, cart avoidance, efficient lane change and other functions, from high-speed humanoid AI to smart and interesting human-computer interaction, which can bring users a new intelligent driving experience of “zero breakpoint”.
According to reports, the Dazhuo Zhi driver’s flagship high-speed NOA adopts a pure vision scheme, which can ensure the ability to identify general obstacles through BEV perception technology and OCC occupying network technology.
At the same time, it adopts the technical architecture of software design and platform design which is compatible with different chips.
At present, the Dazhuo Zhizhi high-speed NOA product platform supports a variety of chips, ranging from less than 30 TOPS to 80 TOPS.
In addition, the independent flagship highway NOA has created anthropomorphic driving and Chery characteristic SR to provide Chery users with an anthropomorphic driving experience and an easy-to-use, good-looking, easy-to-learn and fun smart driving SR.
Of course, not only is it its own flagship high-speed NOA, Chery now has nearly complete shelves of smart-driving products.
Gu Junli revealed that Dazhuo Zhiju has product shelves aligned with industry trends from L2 and L2 + to higher-level L3 and L4.
At the 2024 Chery Global Innovation Conference, Chery unveiled a future-oriented solution for advanced intelligent driving technology, which evolved from C-Pilot 4.
0 to C-Pilot 5.0. It is understood that the mass-produced Chery Dazhuo C-Pilot 4.
0 supports urban smart driving without a map, zero speed activation of NOA, a U-turn at three o’clock, mixed traffic between people and cars, and so on.
C-Pilot 5.
0is under research and development, and the computing power of the car end can reach 1000 TOPS, which will realize the smart driving function from parking space to parking space.
Gu Junli said that at present, the Dazhuo NOA has a wide range of products, which can adapt to product matrices ranging from 130000 to 150000 yuan, 150000 to 180000 yuan and more than 180000 to 200000 yuan.
In the future, Dazhuo Zhizhi plans to reduce the application of high-level smart driving from 200000 yuan to 130000 yuan, accelerating the improvement of permeability.
According to her, this year, the mass production scale of the Da Zhuozhi L2 smart driving program can reach about 300000 units, and it is expected to increase to 2 million to 4 million units in the next few years, becoming the leading intelligent platform.
To accelerate smart driving out to sea, to be a global popularizer of smart driving, and to let Chinese smart cars run on the roads of the world! To be a global high-order universal benefit and equal rights! ” This is Chery’s vision.
In other words, Chery wants to popularize high-end smart driving around the world, not just the domestic market.
According to Gu Junli, the vehicles carrying the L2 basic ADAS driven by Da Zhuozhi have been exported to many overseas countries, and have opened the technical link of going out to sea without a map of NOA, and have carried out capability verification in Saudi Arabia, and will carry out mass production promotion in key sea-going areas in 2025.
By 2025, Chery’s advanced smart driving will cover more than 80 countries and regions, providing users in all countries with personalized smart driving products adapted to local scenes and user needs, and accelerate the realization of the goal of “hitting domestic and international double-million independent production in 2025”.
Of course, behind this, Chery has made a lot of preparations.
For example, the DaZhuozhi flagship high-speed NOA mentioned earlier adopts the technical architecture of software design and platform design compatible with different chips, and simultaneously supports domestic chips and international Ai chips, in order to adapt to the general trend of Chery’s internationalization.
In terms of urban NOA, Gu Junli said that at present, the popularity of NOA in overseas cities is indeed in a very early stage, through the highest end-to-end third-generation technology architecture to achieve a map-less urban NOA, so as to promote smart driving out to sea.
In her view, the greatest attraction of end-to-end is the ability to understand the scene through an unmapped structure, so that it can remove high-precision maps and some of the original operational requirements, so that Chinese smart cars can run on the roads of the world.
In addition, Chery also insists on localization and high-standard construction.
Where Chery goes and where it covers, Chery covers domestic, European, Australian, Saudi and other markets one after another to achieve “In Somewhere, For Somewhere”.
We continue to explore how to do a good job in international intelligence, but the dimensions we explore and the data we can rely on may be more complete.
“Gu Junli said that Dazhuo Zhi driver will fight in combination with the needs of the market, its judgment of technology, its infrastructure, and its reserves in terms of international car networking.
Make every effort to sprint end-to-end production, promote Chery to enter the C-NOA era, end-to-end is considered to be the inevitable battle of the new generation of technological revolution.
Chery is no exception, end-to-end is a must to build a million-magnitude high-level intelligent driving system around the world.
after all, the ease of use of products is a necessary condition for large-scale transformation, and end-to-end can enhance the user experience in multiple dimensions.
According to Cao Guangzhi, intelligent CTO of Dazhuo, as far as C-NOA scenarios are concerned, end-to-end technology will bring about the following dimensions: first, with the rapid expansion of ODD, the region and time range will be greatly improved.
Second, in these relatively difficult scenarios, the current modular technical architecture can not solve the scene, there will be a greater improvement in experience, such as complex road structure and interaction with some dynamic traffic participants.
Cao Guangzhi, the intelligent CTO of Dazhuo, in fact, it is not difficult to see that end-to-end has been filled with Chery’s existing layout and future planning.
Gu Junli revealed that Dazhuo Zhijia’s end-to-end technology has been established and is currently under development, and its initial plan is to be able to run end-to-end in the second half of this year.
It is reported that Dazhuo Zhizhi mainly starts with the layout of the intelligent driving model, big data and the supercomputing center, and makes every effort to promote the mass production of NOA in Chery end-to-end urban area by means of independent control and ecological coordination.
Among them, in the aspect of intelligent driving big model, the Corner Case scene is generated by cloud world model in 2024, and the perceptual large model and planning large model are formed to achieve human brain-like behavior decision-making, and the two-stage end-to-end solution is put into mass production.
In 2025, the perceptual large model and planning large model are further integrated to realize one-stage end-to-end large model mass production.
By 2027, the mass production based on VLA multimodal model will be realized, and the car will really enter the era of intelligent driving like human beings.
In terms of big data platform, the Xinghai big data platform built by Dazhuo Zhizhi achieves a global closed loop of mass production vehicle data through global deployment, providing data power for the continuous update iteration of intelligent driving.
The supercomputing center is an important infrastructure for high-level intelligent driving.
The Dazhuo Zhijia Skydome supercomputing center is now equipped with 1500PFLOS computing power through joint construction with industry strategic partners.
In Gu Junli’s view, Dazhuo Zhiju “backwardness also has the advantage of backwardness”, which can form a closed loop as soon as possible with the help of more mature technological paths and ecological partners, especially Chery’s market.
She said that the end-to-end war is definitely a war of resources.
“there is no absolute technological advantage right now, but there are questions about who has more vehicles, who has a large user base, as well as data assets and cloud assets.
” it’s still a contest between enterprise nature and enterprise value.
” At present, Chery has established international data centers in many markets around the world, and has formed a large-scale global data closed-loop system.
“as far as the mainframe factory is concerned, in the medium to long term, our biggest advantage is the scale and closed loop of data.
” Gu Junli said so.
All in all, through the layout and promotion of end-to-end technology, Dazhuo will quickly get on the bus in the map-free city NOA, create a high-end smart car with Chery’s characteristics, and promote Chery to enter the C-NOA era in an all-round way.
Firmly choose full stack control to create a truly benign and sustainable ecology.
in the era of traditional fuel vehicles, many car companies adopt a fully outsourced product development model, which makes it difficult to grasp the core competitiveness in the process of intelligent transformation.
rely heavily on suppliers.
By contrast, some emerging car companies hope to highlight their brands and technological features through a fully self-developed route, but the high R & D costs put great pressure on them.
In view of the limitations of the above two modes, the “full stack controllable” mode between them is gradually favored.
Gao Jiabing, assistant to the general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. And deputy general manager of Dazhuo Intelligence, believes that the whole stack of the car company itself is controllable, and then the industry is built through ecology, which is a major trend of the great division of labor and cooperation in the whole society.
the smart car industry is no exception.
Gao Jiabing, assistant to the general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and deputy general manager of Dazhuo Intelligence, pointed out that the smart driving industry is not only technology-intensive, but also capital-intensive, but also heavy assets, it also includes cloud services, computing power, and so on, the market is very large, so only through full stack control, through social division of labor and cooperation, can we make full use of funds, talents, infrastructure construction, etc.
In addition, it is also beneficial for each ecological chain partner to give full play to their own strengths.
As far as Dazhuo smart car is concerned, in order to ensure the end-to-end technology development and mass production delivery of millions of high-order smart cars around the world, it has built an ecological model with full stack control and core self-research, and built a mass production system through ecological borrowing and industrial co-creation.
land on Chery models at a faster speed.
Recently, Dazhuo Intelligence announced the innovative cooperation of AI model, big data and supercomputing center in Chery’s smart driving ecosystem.
It held a strategic signing ceremony with iFLYTEK and Shangtang Zuoying respectively, to work closely around the application of end-to-end large model technology in high-level intelligent driving solutions, and accelerate AI capacity building to jointly promote mass production of NOA in Chery Zhizhi city.
Our relationship with our ecological partner is not Party An and Party B.
our real Party An is in the market, in our real end customer.
Therefore, what we have formed with our ecological partners is a symbiotic and co-building relationship that can achieve win-win results through co-creation.
If we reach such a consensus, many problems in cooperation will be easily solved.
” Gao Jiabing said so.
Of course in this process the division of labor should be reasonable enough.
For example, Dazhuo Zhizhi is closer to customers, the understanding of users, the grasp of user needs, the polishing of the whole system may be its strengths, at the same time, it can also do a good job of decomposing the whole system.
On the other hand, its ecological partners can give full play to their advantages and use some of the best technologies or technologies that can be more balanced in terms of cost and performance to promote the rapid landing of more models.
In the view of Gao Jiabing, only in this way can we create a truly benign and sustainable ecology with common development.
