From April 25th to May 4th, the 2024 (18th) Beijing International Automobile Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as “Beijing Auto Show”) will be held in Shunyi Hall of Beijing China International Exhibition Center.
After a four-year absence, the return of the Beijing Auto Show, with the theme of “New era, New cars”, has a total exhibition area of 230000 square meters, including well-known automobile and parts manufacturers at home and abroad, with a total of more than 1500.
In the past four years, the changes in China’s automobile market have not been compared with each other.
According to the latest data from the Federation of passengers, from April 1 to 14, the wholesale and retail penetration rates of China’s new energy vehicles both exceeded 50%, and the oil and electricity market is facing reshaping.
The improvement of the motorized “base” of new energy vehicles will directly promote the intelligent “shift speed” in the second half, and intelligent driving is gradually becoming the standard of new energy vehicles.
In the face of the first international A-class auto show in 2024, companies related to smart driving are also gearing up, scrambling to release new products and technologies at the exhibition, leading the times to change.
In this article, Geshi Automobile has sorted out a number of new technology prospects for smart driving at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show. 1. Wesai Technology will focus on displaying three lidars: ATX, AT128 and ET25,2024 Beijing Auto Show.
Wesai Technology will present a number of high-performance lidar products at the exhibition, focusing on the newly released compact high-performance long-range lidar ATX, ultra-high definition long-range lidar AT128, and ultra-thin cabin long-range lidar ET25.
Among them, the newly released ATX is a platform product, which is based on the fourth-generation chip architecture of Wesai, and has carried out multi-dimensional optimization in ranging, resolution, cost, etc.
, focusing on farther vision, wider viewing angle and higher accuracy: ATX is 60% smaller in size and 50% less in weight than AT128, and the maximum detection distance is 300m, which is 50% higher than AT128.
The horizontal field of view angle is 140°, which is wider than that of similar products in the market at present, and it supports up to 256line scanning, and the best angle resolution is 0.
08° x 0.
1°, which is more than twice that of AT128.
, image source: Hesai Technology, AT128 is an ADAS long-range lidar specially launched for the pre-installed mass production market, with length, width and height of 137×112 × 48mm, power consumption of 18W, global resolution of 1200 × 128, detection distance of 200m (@ 10% reflectivity), more than 1.
53 million point frequency per second.
Since the start of mass production delivery in 2022, a number of mass production multiplication models have been put on the market.
ET25, released in April 2023, is Hesai’s first ultra-thin long-range lidar for the ADAS front production market, designed to be placed behind the front windshield.
While realizing only 25 mm extremely thin fuselage, ET25 also has the characteristics of low noise and low power consumption, and the noise when operating in the cabin is less than 25 decibels, which can increase the ranging capability of 905 nm lidar (under the condition of 10% reflectivity) to more than 250m. 2. RoboSense Suiteng Juchuang will show the new generation of M platform medium and long range lidar MX.
At this auto show, RoboSense Suiteng Juchuang will unveil the new generation of M platform medium and long range lidar MX.
MX, as a platform product, can continuously evolve and upgrade its performance generation by generation while the point cloud scanning shape and data interface remain unchanged, helping customers to continuously optimize the smart driving performance of new models, and the secondary development cost is about “zero” to continue to create a higher-level smart driving experience.
Source: RoboSense, and MX is equipped with RoboSense fully self-developed SoC chip M-Core, and a large number of mature modules and devices on M platform are used, such as two-dimensional scanning architecture, core optical path and optoelectronic devices, so as to ensure that mass production can be accelerated in a short period of time.
The MX is only 25mm in thickness, with ultra-quiet running sound and ultra-low power consumption of less than 10W.
the maximum range can reach 200m, and the field of view angle is 120ox25 °, 126lines (RO | area equivalent 251line).
At the same time, the intelligent “gaze” function is upgraded, and the ROI is globally adjustable, resulting in a safer and more efficient smart driving experience.
Qiu Chunchao, CEO of Suiteng Juchuang, said earlier, “MX will achieve mass production of the first project at a cost of less than 200 US dollars (about 1447.
78 yuan), and lock the price to about 1000 yuan as soon as possible, leading the whole industry to enter the era of thousands of yuan machines.” 3. The original large model of Shangtang Shadow Series will be unveiled at this auto show, which will bring a large number of AI model products and functions covering intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, including mass production-oriented true end-to-end self-driving solution UniAD boarding demo debut, as well as AI large model cockpit product matrix and brand-new cockpit 3D interaction with multi-modal scene brain as the core.
The UniAD scheme is a general model of Shangtang shadow perception and decision-making integrated autopilot, which can deal with the complex environment of the urban area only by the visual perception of the camera, without high-precision map, and through data learning and driving.
Moreover, on the non-center-line rural roads where the traditional scheme is difficult to break through, UniAD can also drive freely, completing a series of difficult operations, including turning left to the bridge at a large angle, avoiding vehicles occupying the road and the construction area, and making a detour of running pedestrians.
At the same time, Shangtang Jueyu will also bring a new generation of self-driving large model DriveAGI, which relies on multi-modal large models and can enhance the explanatory and interactive ability of end-to-end autopilot solutions.
It is suitable for wider scenarios, higher performance, lower threshold, and experience to be perceptible, interactive and reliable.
In the field of intelligent cockpit, Shangtang Jueyu has created an AI large model cockpit product matrix with “multimodal scene brain” as the core.
This auto show, including “travel doctor”, “magic pen”, “child companion” and other innovative applications in the cockpit will be on display.
In addition, Shangtang will bring two new cockpit 3D interactive demonstrations at the auto show: 3D Gaze high-precision line-of-sight interaction and 3D dynamic gesture interaction to create a natural interactive experience that is more in line with human intuition.

At this auto show, Marelli will display the latest area controller (Zone control unit) developed in cooperation with Infineon.
It is reported that Marelli’s latest area controller is an electronic control unit, which can be installed in a specific area of the vehicle and manage a variety of functions.
The area controller integrates electronic control units (ECU) in a number of areas, including lighting, body, audio, power distribution, drive, thermal management, chassis control and vehicle diagnosis.
Marelli says these solutions, combined with service-oriented software and cloud virtualization, have ushered in a new era of vehicle customization and personalization.
By decoupling hardware and software, the Marelli area control unit provides flexibility, scalability, and compatibility to adapt to any OEM architecture, while reducing hardware complexity and cost.
In addition, Marelli’s latest area controller also uses Infineon’s AURIX ™TC4x microcontroller.
The special data routing engine (DRE) in the Infineon AURIX ™microcontroller ensures a very low level of latency when connecting CAN to Ethernet, which enables the area control unit to integrate many electronic computing units into a single hardware.
This consolidation not only does not affect performance, but also provides a robust foundation for a centralized architecture.
In addition, Infineon’s microcontroller supports hardware virtualization, which is another key element of the next-generation regional architecture, which can run multiple virtual machines in a single area control unit at the same time.
Thus, applications in different domains and different functional security levels can run in parallel.
