From April 24 to 28, at the founding ceremony of the innovation alliance in the national free trade area, China Unicom and e-Cheng automatic driving jointly completed the first unmanned driving application demonstration based on 5g vehicle road coordination and artificial intelligence in Shenzhen Qianhai Free Trade Zone, attracting a large number of media and citizens to visit the event site. "Shenzhen 5GN industry application partner signing ceremony" was held in Qianhai Longzhong at the same time.
As the highland of Shenzhen's industrial development, Qianhai has unique comprehensive advantages in policy, economy and industrial chain, and is one of the most open free trade areas in China. Relying on the good development environment created by Qianhai, Yicheng quickly completed the whole set of automatic driving solutions with independent intellectual property rights and put them into practice, and took the lead in completing the unmanned driving test of 5g technology in Shenzhen.
With the characteristics of ultra-low delay and high reliability of Unicom 5g network, the performance of lidar, camera, intelligent sensor and other equipment carried by unmanned vehicle can be brought into full play, which can greatly accelerate the commercial landing of unmanned driving. At the event site, Yicheng company showed its strong ability of automatic driving technology and the beautiful travel experience brought by unmanned driving by providing the public with the opportunity of test ride and visit and learning.
During the on-site communication, Mr. Song Chaozhong, CEO of Yicheng company, introduced the advantages of Yicheng's automatic driving scheme to everyone. "On the business path, we pursue pragmatism and practicality. Yicheng has built a complete set of automatic driving kits integrating vehicle road coordination, domain controller, middleware and automatic driving algorithm, which can provide mass-produced L3 level unmanned driving function to OEMs or OEMs 。 For example, at present, one of the problems that most affect the travel of ordinary car owners is traffic congestion. In the morning and evening peak hours, whether in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, or in some first and second tier cities in China, traffic congestion is very serious, and the driving experience will be very poor. If there is automatic driving function at this time, the attention of car owners can be greatly liberated, and the social productivity can be improved Use this time to do more valuable things, such as reading books, doing work reports, even video conferencing, and so on. "
As for the future prospects of automatic driving, Mr. Song Chaozhong also shared some of his views, "we want to provide these functions in 2020, which also means that the unmanned driving technology will be implemented in the near future. However, due to the influence of technology maturity and local policies and regulations, it is very difficult for unmanned driving to be realized quickly in passenger cars, so the technology can be reduced Dimension processing is first applied to some special scenes, such as large communities, amusement parks and other large closed parks. In this case, the technology can be applied to the ground and accumulated for testing. At the same time, the industry can attract people. Of course, in the next 10 years, we will also make L4 and L5 vehicles to provide users with a more perfect automatic driving product. "
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the market demand for automobile active safety and intelligence, the huge social and economic value of unmanned driving has become increasingly prominent. First, the problem of insufficient labor force caused by the aging population can be reduced by unmanned driving; second, the road traffic capacity can be improved by more than 30% through vehicle road coordination and driverless driving Third, more than 90% of the current traffic accidents are caused by people, which can be avoided by the automatic driving function; finally, unmanned driving also has great economic value, which can reach the market scale of several trillion dollars in 2030, providing broad development space for all participants.
