The major events in the field of smart cars this week are as follows: the United States will issue regulations on Chinese connected cars.
According to foreign media reports, US Commerce Secretary Genna Raimundo (Gina Raimondo) said on May 15 that the US Department of Commerce plans to release proposed rules for Chinese connected cars this autumn.
Raimundo, the official website of the US government, said at a hearing in the US House of Representatives that she was worried about China’s connected cars because they were equipped with thousands of sensors.
Thousands of chips, “may collect a lot of sensitive data about Americans, including their identity, what they said in the car, where they drove, and their driving patterns.
In addition, these vehicles will also record the details of the infrastructure of the United States.
Xiaozhi comments: under the heavy restrictions of overseas markets, Chinese cars still have a long way to go to sea.
It is revealed that Tesla will set up an autopilot data center in China.
Tesla plans to collect data in China and set up a data center in China to conduct data processing and train algorithms for autopilot, according to people familiar with the matter, in order to promote the global deployment of the “fully autonomous driving” (FSD) system.
Two of the sources said that Tesla would need to work with Chinese partners to build a data center in China for FSD technology development.
In addition, it is reported that Tesla has held talks with Nvidia, and the two sides are discussing the issue of supplying GPUs to Tesla’s China data center.
Xiaozhi comments: Tesla FSD to enter China, data collection and localization processing in China, is an insurmountable difficulty.
Baidu radish fast released the sixth generation unmanned car.
A few days ago, Baidu Apollo officially launched the sixth generation unmanned car-Yichi 06, and started delivery at the same time.
Jointly developed by Baidu Apollo and Jiangling New Energy, the highlight of the car is that the price is only 204600 yuan, which is 60% lower than the cost of the fifth-generation unmanned car.
Source: Baidu Apollo, according to Baidu Apollo planning, the first delivery of Yichi 06 will be put into use in Wuhan from now on, and strive to complete the deployment of thousands of units this year.
At present, radish fast running in Wuhan is very close to the break-even “tipping point”.
It is expected that it will break even in Wuhan by the end of 2024 and enter a profit-making period in 2025.
Xiao Zhi comments: Robotaxi’s logic of making money, Baidu is expected to take the lead.
Self-driving test is open at Beijing South Railway Station.
recently, the Beijing High-level self-driving Office issued a notice about the test road and test area of self-driving vehicles in the first zone, clarifying the scope of self-driving test between Beijing Economic Development District and Beijing South Railway Station.
This also means that the autopilot test at Beijing’s first high-speed railway station has been officially opened.
According to the Beijing Municipal self-driving Office, the next step will be to cooperate with relevant enterprises to promote the road testing of self-driving vehicles that already have the qualification for highway testing in the leading area, which is expected to provide passengers with new access options this year.
At that time, passengers can make an appointment through the corporate travel service App, get off at any autopilot feeder station in Beijing Economic Development District, and follow the prescribed route to and from Beijing South Railway Station.
Xiao Zhi comments: for self-driving cars, a larger test range and more diversified test scenarios are more conducive to technical verification and rapid iteration.
Cruise resumes self-driving tests.
According to foreign media reports, General Motors’ self-driving subsidiary Cruise said on May 13 that the company is testing its self-driving technology on public roads, but the vehicles will be equipped with human safety guards in Phoenix.
And the next test phase will start in Phoenix and gradually expand to the suburbs of the city.
Photo: Cruise, the move marks the re-opening of Cruise’s self-driving cars on public roads since testing was suspended last October.
At that time, a pedestrian crossing the road was knocked down by another car and was towed more than 20 feet (about 6 meters) by a Cruise test car.
California regulators then suspended the company’s self-driving license, and Cruise halted operations nationwide.
Small wisdom comments: Cruise has been re-approved to carry out self-driving tests, which is expected to boost market confidence in the development of the L4.
Renault released its future self-driving strategy, and on May 15, Renault Group released its self-driving strategy, saying that it would explore the best application of self-driving technology based on the differentiated needs of individual vehicles and public transport in the future.
In terms of personal vehicles, Renault mainly focuses on L2 and L2 +-level driving assistance systems, which it believes can effectively improve driving safety and comfort, but when using these systems, drivers still need to be responsible for driving.
In the field of public transport, Renault expects the demand for self-driving mini-buses to reach thousands in the next few years.
In the future, Renault Group will launch a robotic electric mini bus platform based on the new Renault Master, which can integrate automation solutions from professional partners such as EasyMile, Milla and Wenyuan Zhixing.
Xiao Zhi comments: from the Japanese system to the legal system, the pace of autopilot layout of foreign car companies has been significantly faster since the beginning of this year.
