Qingzhou Zhihang CEO Yu Yan: Autonomous driving has entered the market to drive from technology drive

On September 17th, the reporter Wang Shuaiguo of Economic Observation Network On September 17, at the 2022 WICV World Intelligent Connected Auto Conference, autonomous driving once again became a hot topic for discussion of many guests. Industry data shows that the penetration rate of domestic L2/L2 ++ -level autonomous driving in the passenger car market is rapidly increasing. It is expected to reach 36%this year, and will increase to 60%by 2025, becoming the mainstream direction of the next three years.

In this trend, many players have emerged in the industry. Vehicle companies represented by new forces and traditional car companies have adopted the "progressive" technology route to gradually promote the application of high -level auxiliary driving in high -speed and urban market views. The self -driving startup companies mostly use leapfrog technology routes to create high -level auxiliary driving solutions for car companies, including Baidu Apollo, Qingzhou Zhihang, Xiaoma Zhixing, Yuan Rong Qixing, Wenyuan Zhixing and so on.

Yu Yan, the co -founder of Qingzhou Zhihang and CEO, said at the conference: "As consumers' awareness of autonomous driving gradually increases, new demand will emerge in large quantities. , Need to work closely upstream to create together in order to create autonomous driving products that truly meet consumers. "

He also pointed out that on the development path of autonomous driving technology, consumers' awareness of the boundaries and safety of autonomous driving technology and the help of laws and regulations are equally important. Because autonomous driving is currently facing many realistic obstacles.

Yu Yan believes that the problems that need to be handled by the high -level assistance driving facing the city market are very similar to the problems facing L4. It is necessary to have various functions including non -protection left turn, stenosis roads, pedestrian politeness, turning around, parking, parking, etc. Essence And these functions are also facing many challenges, such as sensors and calculations that need to be in line with car rules, and the cost and power consumption restrictions brought by it requires solution through stronger algorithm framework optimization and engineering capabilities; The extensive use scenarios need to be used more efficiently to achieve more generalization with data -driven; for the interaction and game scenarios of various complicated traffic participants in the city, it is necessary to ensure security, which is smarter Perform predictions, planning and control to achieve higher efficiency.

As a leading company in the industry, Qingzhou Zhihang has solved some of the above problems. The latest generation of vehicle -level front -level production autonomous driving solutions not only achieve the sensor and calculated car -level adaptation, but also can also be based on different customers' by different customers. Mass production needs, provide different configuration solutions.

While actively promoting the innovation and empowerment of automobile companies, Qingzhou Zhihang is also accelerating the layout in the field of Robobus and Robotaxi. As the Robobus, which has the most open roads in the country in China, Qingzhou Zhihang Autonomous Driver Driver Dragon Boat One appears at the conference. The complex road conditions have been tested and operated in 10 cities including Suzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Beijing, Wuxi, Jiaxing.

As of the end of 2021, Robobus of Qingzhou Zhihang has served more than 200,000 people in low -carbon. In the field of Robotaxi, recently, Qingzhou Zhihang jointly jointly launched the public operation of Robotaxi in Suzhou.

Although the number of autonomous driving projects is increasing, when it can be commercialized on a large scale and bring benefits to enterprises, it is the pursuit of autonomous driving companies. In the competition of major companies in the past two years, the cost of autonomous driving products has fallen rapidly, which is one step closer to large -scale commercialization. In terms of cost, in December 2021, the cost of L4 -level plan issued by Yuan Rong Qixing was less than 10,000 US dollars (about 64,000 yuan), and in April this year, it fell to only 3,000 US dollars (about 20,000 yuan). Subsequently, Qingzhou Zhihang announced in May that the vehicle -level autonomous driving scheme that could be as low as 10,000 yuan was announced.

At the technical application level, in November 2019, Wenyuan Zhiyi launched the Robotaxi operation that was open to the outside world. In February 2021, it obtained an online car -car operation license in Guangzhou; Baidu Apollo's "Radish Run" platform Beijing, Chongqing, Yangquan, Wuhan and other places qualifications; Pony Zhixing has also obtained commercialization permits in Beijing, Guangzhou and other places.

The competition in the autonomous driving industry continues to heat up. CICC said that by 2025, the size of China's autonomous driving decision -making layer software market will exceed 70 billion yuan and maintain rapid growth. As factors such as improvement of technological maturity, market demand release, improvement of policies and regulations, and improvement of supply chain improvement, autonomous driving will enter a new stage of commercial applications.
