The data of the first seven stops of the second China Intelligent driving Competition (hereinafter referred to as the Intelligent driving Competition) show that intelligent driving is approaching the inflection point.
The Chinese Legion, represented by Xiaopeng, Ji Yue, Huawei, ideal, and L3, is launching a cluster charge to L3.
The key leap, the end-to-end large model boarding, is happening in front of our eyes, six months earlier than the general forecast of the industry at Q1 this year.
Over the past year, we have deeply felt what is meant by “leaps and bounds”.
The progress of the smart driving competition happens to catch up with the amazing progress of China’s smart driving.
The evolutionary ability of the head brand in the competition makes us believe that if Q1 Tesla FSD can be landed in 2025, Chinese enterprises are ready to compete together.
▍ “leaps and bounds” and “user rise”, 
, in May 2023, when the first Electric Network began to prepare for the first smart driving competition, there were only eight brands that could support high-speed NOA.
At the beginning of the first race in September 2023, 13 brands were registered.
By the end of the fourth race in December 2023, 18 brands had the capability of high-speed NOA.
Similarly, in December 2023, there were only four brands that could support City NOA (and not all of them nationwide).
In May 2024, we found that high-speed NOA has become a standard for car companies, and the number of brands supporting urban NOA has reached 8, and today it has expanded to 12, most of which have achieved “full national capacity”, that is, it can be opened all over the country and available to all users (high-level smart driving users).
As you can guess, a larger “brand explosion” is taking place in the urban NOA, like the high-speed NOA at this time last year.
In this process, the smart driving solution provider represented by Huawei Baidu played a very important role.
Huawei, Baidu, DJI, Horizon and Momenta five solution suppliers have successively launched or are about to land a number of products, known as “Baidi Huamo”, to lay an intelligent base for the entire automotive industry.
At the same time, the new power brands, represented by Wei Xiaoli and Xiaomi, play the role of self-research in the whole stack: from the whole vehicle to the energy network, and then to the chip, operating system, supercomputing center and AI model, they all have to do it on their own.
Because their target is Tesla, their goal is not to become a car company, but to become a travel technology company with AI as its core competence.
The competition between the two groups is dazzling, making us face a thrilling and magical moment.
From the beginning of the year to the light map, and then to no map, and then to the end-to-end, the technical route iteration is fast, the competition is fierce, dazzling.
In addition to these two groups, Chinese smart driving consumers are playing another important role: making extensive evaluation and comparison of the capabilities of products and smart driving programs.
From an individual point of view, their opinions may not be systematic, but a variety of test videos and countless discussions uploaded by many intelligent driving users form a very objective independent evaluation system.
And many excellent individuals among users are becoming influential “smart KOL”, and their cognitive level and work quality are also improving at an astonishing speed.
For China’s smart car and AI development, this is a very important third-party force.
With the luck of the times, they are no longer the silent majority, nor are they simple users and audiences, they are participants, judges and shapers.
It is also the most important supporter of the smart driving competition: all the registered drivers and referees in the race are real owners.
all registered vehicles are self-purchased models.
and all intelligent driving versions are mass-produced public push versions.
The audience of tens of thousands at the beginning of each race, and then hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room, are naturally real car owners.
It can be said that in the 11 races that have been completed from last year to this year, we and our users have participated in and witnessed the amazing progress of China’s smart driving.
They not only practice the vision of “let smart drivers re-measure your city”, but also publish their own definitions and explanations of Chinese smart driving products, technologies and services in various ways.
We are honored to be able to do such a thing with such a group of users at such a time.
“leaps and bounds” and “the rise of users” are two basic features of the miraculous progress of China’s smart driving in the past year.
The dynamic ranking of the ▍ Wisdom driving Competition (the first seven races), the first seven races adopt a unified scoring system, and the one with the highest score is the winner of the competition.
This paper focuses on the five aspects of urban NOA “availability”, “sense of security”, “comfort”, “accuracy” and “commuting efficiency”.
The assessment scenarios are as follows: NOA pilot, traffic light start and stop, normal driving, lane change, avoid, U-turn, in / out auxiliary road / ramp, fork road selection, in / out roundabout, violation of regulations and so on.
Score according to the specific performance record of the vehicle, and add three additional items, such as commuting time, whether zero takeover, navigation route and so on.
First of all, the weighted total score ranking of the seven stations is divided into three items: the number of wins, the number of the first three times, and the weighted average score of the seven stations.
, 1, the number of times to win ranking: Ji Yue 3 times, Jihu 2 times, Xiaopeng 1 time, Avita 1 time.
, 
, 2, enter the top three times ranking: polar Fox 5 times, extreme Yue 4 times, Xiaopeng 4 times, Avita 4 times, Wisdom 3 times, ideal 1 time.
, 
, weighted average ranking of 3 and 7 stations: Ji Yue 84.
1, Avita 83.
8, Ji Hu 82.
8, Xiaopeng 80.
6, Wisdom 73.
8, Jian Jie 72.
1, Xilai 70.
2, ideal 68.
3, Zhiji 60.
, , seven races so far, Jiyue is undoubtedly the biggest dark horse.
Relying on Baidu Apollo, Jiyue is the only pure visual high-level smart driving scheme among all the participating brands so far.
At the beginning of the competition, the Jiyue brand was unknown and was not favored by people.
Under the strong pressure of Huawei and Xiaopeng, Ji Yue won the winner in three consecutive stops in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, which was unexpected.
On August 28th, Ji Yue PPA was upgraded to ASD, and the smart driving program began to tangential light map + end-to-end, and won the second place in Chengdu Station at the seventh stop, proving itself once again.
In seven races, Ji Yue has experienced five iterations of V1.4, V1.5, V1.6, V1.7 and V2.0. From obscurity to fame, the speed of its rise is shocking.
In the “Chinese Top four”, the performances of Jihu and Avita are more eye-catching.
The polar fox entered the top three five times and won the trumpet twice.
Avita entered the top three four times and won the trumpet once.
The polar fox won twice in the first smart driving contest high-speed NOA competition.
Lord, this competition also won the champion in Shenzhen and Wuhan, and lost to Avita by 4 points in Chongqing.
Avita beat Ji Hu and Ji Yue, the champion of the three consecutive championships in Chongqing, although he only won the champion once, but he ranked second in the overall average score, with a very balanced performance in each stop, and has always been the top three in the “class”.
Huawei ADS 3.
0 Beta version will be launched in Avita on Sept.
10, with “preference” being expressed.
September 22nd Guangzhou race, looking forward to ADS 3.
0 public push version to participate in the competition! The intellectual world and the question world do not seem to show off in the first seven races, but their overall scores are also ranked fifth and sixth.
The overall performance of the top four in China is impressive.
Of the seven races, Xiaopeng is the most undervalued.
In the Hangzhou race, the Xiaopeng driver was far ahead, and there was a scratch on the way back from all the test points at the end of the race, resulting in NOA being unable to open and being deducted points.
It was a pity to lose the champion.
In the race in Chongqing, the Xiaopeng driver was far ahead again, but without the owner’s knowledge on the eve of the race, the machine was automatically upgraded to the non-public push version of 5.2.5, resulting in disqualification and grieving for everyone.
In spite of this, there are still four times in the top three in the seven races, and Xiaopeng Zhi-driving shows its terrible strength.
The 5.2.5 version finally proved itself in the Chengdu race, showing its calmness and success in the so-called “abnormal level” difficulty route.
September 22nd Guangzhou race, looking forward to the amazing performance of XOS 5.3.0. Ideal Zhizhi is a newly rising star.
Since June, the ideal wisdom driver seems to have got through the governor’s second pulse, and the iterative speed has suddenly accelerated, and it has become faster and faster.
The latest V6.2.0 end-to-end version has the measured capability to keep pace with Huawei Xiaopeng, even exceeding the game performance in some extreme scenarios, such as paths and irregular intersections.
The main scenes in the urban area include a roundabout and a U-turn.
Ideally, like Xiaopeng, there are basically no blind spots at present.
We believe that the launch of the 6.2.0 end-to-end version is the time for ideal smart cars to take off completely.
What is also worth looking forward to is that Weilai and Xiaomi Zhiji have left a deep impression on us in recent measurements.
In addition, Zhiji, Haopin and Tengli, which are based on the Momenta plan, and Baojun, which is based on the DJI plan, are all on the way to catch up.
What is particularly noteworthy is that Huawei, Xiaopeng, ideal, Ji Yue and Weilai are launching a major leap from end to end to get on the bus from August to December 2024.
The smart driving ability of these families has also been reborn during this period of time.
Together, they constitute the first legion of Chinese smart drivers.
From the video comparison, the sleek and smooth smart driving is already on a par with Tesla FSD’s performance in the United States-which makes us look forward to it, given the complexity of the roads in Chinese cities.
