Once upon a time, “lack of core technology” once became a hindrance to the development of the domestic auto industry, and the strong limelight of the auto market has long been entrenched on top of many foreign-funded and joint-venture brands. However, when the trend of the times is rushing forward, the automobile industry is undergoing great changes, and industrial system reconstruction and collaborative innovation have become new keywords in the automobile market.
Standing at the key point of industrial transformation, Chinese auto companies and technology companies at the forefront of the market focus on the strategic thinking of “pursuing technology and seeking development” to promote the auto industry to move towards electrification and intelligence.
Due to this, automotive technology has blossomed at key nodes in the innovation chain.
In terms of electrification, a group of internationally competitive component suppliers such as CATL, BYD, and Huawei have emerged, and technologies such as power batteries, drive motors, and electronic system integration have also made significant progress. In terms of intelligence, there are new developments in areas such as autonomous driving operating systems, high-precision wire-controlled actuators, automotive-grade chips, and laser radars.
Today, the Chinese auto market is taking the attitude of “technology-assisted growth” to refresh the biggest variable in the real industry and bring new hope for the Chinese auto industry to overtake on corners.
As one of the top industrial media in the technology industry, Leifeng.com launched the 2022 “Flying to the Earth and Going to the Sea” annual technology list selection plan in October this year.
The 2022 “Flying into the Earth and Going to the Sea” annual technology list, formerly known as Leifeng.com’s annual “Best AI Nuggets Year-end List”, was founded in 2016, and has gone through six selections, with a total of more than 2,000 registered technology companies . In 2022, the list will be fully upgraded and renamed the 2022 “Flying into the Earth and Going to the Sea” Annual Science and Technology List, hoping to find out those products and companies with the most vitality from a more professional and rich dimension.
In the past few months, Leifeng.com has focused on the three best dimensions of technology flying, application into the ground, and business going overseas, artificial intelligence, urban IoT AIoT, industrial intelligent manufacturing, automotive technology, enterprise services, commercial robots, future interaction, Consumer electronics, chips, medical AI and digitalization, cloud and data infrastructure, 12 vertical fields, looking for pioneers and evangelists of the new business order. A total of 49 companies won awards in this selection.
Among them, in the field of “automotive technology”, Baidu Apollo, Black Sesame Smart, and Sagitar Juchuang stood out, and won the “Benchmark Award for Car Parking Integration”, “Benchmark Award for Car Chip Implementation”, and “LiDAR Mass Production Benchmark Award” respectively. .
Parking and Parking Integrated Vehicle Benchmark Award: Baidu Apollo
Baidu Apollo officially established the smart car business unit in the second half of 2021, aiming to help car companies achieve large-scale mass production and serve consumers, and is committed to becoming a new, professional and local Tier 1 required for the intelligent transformation of China’s auto industry . As the pioneer and leader of global autonomous driving, Baidu Apollo has accumulated nearly ten years of technology accumulation in the field of L4 autonomous driving, applied dimensionality reduction to the field of passenger vehicles, and achieved large-scale commercial use. Baidu Apollo intelligent driving solution covers parking, highway and city. Among them, the automatic valet parking system AVP has been installed in more than ten models; ANP2.0 is the industry’s first technical solution based on dual TDA4 ultra-low computing power platforms to realize integrated parking and parking, and has been mass-produced and delivered; ANP3.0 is The high-level intelligent driving solution that realizes the “integration of three domains” in the urban domain, the high-speed domain, and the parking domain has already started generalization tests in many places across the country, and will be the first to be delivered on Jidu Robo-01 in 2023.
In the field of integrated transportation and parking, ANP2.0 is the industry’s first technical solution based on dual TDA4 ultra-low computing power platforms (16TOPS+44kDMIPS) to achieve high-level integrated transportation and parking. The industry believes that it has truly realized the integrated function of high-end travel and parking at a low cost, and solved the pain point of “difficult to balance between cost and capability” in the industry. As the first product in China to reduce the dimensionality of L4 autonomous driving technology and apply it to L2+ assisted driving, it has the advantages of “safety, economy, and good experience”. ANP2.0 will achieve mass production and delivery in 2022, which will also drive the progress of the industry.
In terms of driving ability, ANP2.0 can automatically pass through ramps, Y-shaped roads, large-curvature curves, tunnels and other road sections. Even in harsh environments such as rainy weather and stagnant water, ANP2.0 performs well. ANP2.0 covers more than 30 main driving scenarios in total, with good coherence. At the same time, the generalization test of more than 300,000 kilometers further guarantees the stability of ANP2.0.
In the third quarter, Baidu deepened its partnership with one of China’s largest auto technology companies, and will apply ANP (Apollo Navigator Assisted Driving), AVP (Autonomous Parking) and high-definition maps to one of its popular models, which once again proves that It has won the favor of car manufacturers for Apollo’s car intelligent solutions. Up to now, Apollo car intelligence has cooperated with more than 70 car brands around the world, equipped with more than 1,000 models, and served 20 million car owners. At present, more car companies are being fixed-pointed and signed. In the future, Baidu’s Apollo-powered smart driving products will maintain an average annual growth rate of 100%.
