In fact, this article has been wanted to be written for a long time, but I have always been afraid of it depressing the enthusiasm of some netizens. Not long ago, Xiaopeng G9 successfully passed the closed field test of autonomous driving, which is a very good performance. At present, in terms of autonomous driving, Xiaopeng Motors and Tesla Motors are at the forefront of the industry. Regardless of how many criticisms are, their performance in the sub-field of autonomous driving is worthy of recognition. But that's all.
To be honest, I am not optimistic about the new car-making forces in the market today or traditional car companies, as long as they play autonomous driving. Why do you say so? Because it cannot determine the action of the person in the next second. We don’t deny that sometimes machines react faster than us, but what if we react? Can braking distance be shortened? Unless one day the braking distance from the car's speed drops from 60 to 0 will be within 1 meter, I think it's useless. So, I think I can like it for the successful pass of the closed site test of the Xiaopeng G9, but then what? There is no more.
Don’t look at how outstanding the online self-driving is, and don’t look at how powerful the major auto companies are in the publicity. Take third-party tests as an example. How many models of auto companies’ under the test fail? Not only that, most of the performances that everyone emphasizes now are tested in specific scenarios. If you really can get ahead, I won’t say that, you should know how big the gap is. Overall, don't take it too seriously, just take a look.
Some people may think I am too pessimistic, but I still have the same view. It would be fine if it was just a simple autonomous driving on highways, but there were no other pedestrians. Although there are occasionally people walking secretly on the highway, pedestrians who secretly get on the highway will be very careful. But the city is different. The veteran drivers have all the numbers of people crossing the road and looking for ghosts. Many times, when we pass through complex sections such as the entrances of some communities, people will slow down, and some people will even move forward at a speed, but what about autonomous driving? Can it really plan the speed reasonably every time?
Of course, I also hope that autonomous driving can come out as soon as possible, but at present, don’t take it seriously, and don’t really think that the so-called L2.5 level autonomous driving of some car companies is much higher than L2 level autonomous driving. They are just so-called intelligent driving assistance configurations, remember it is an auxiliary. So, don’t try it on the road, do you understand?
