"New Four Modernizations" for Autonomous Vehicles

China’s automobile industry is facing profound changes that have not been met in a century. From the overtaking of new energy electric vehicles to the start-up of autonomous driving, they all indicate the ambitions of the development of China’s automobile industry. It is proposed to lay the direction for the development of Chinese automobiles. As a novice of automatic driving, the forefront of intelligent driving has peeped into the development mode of automatic driving from the "new four modernizations" of automobiles. The “new four modernizations” of automobiles refer to electrification, intelligence, connectivity, and sharing. Although the concept of sharing has gradually withdrawn from the public’s field of vision after the concept of sharing has become hot, the forefront of smart driving believes that autonomous driving Development in accordance with the direction of the "new four modernizations" of the automobile is not inevitable.

electrification

Automobile electrification refers to the change from fuel-based power source to power battery as the main power source. New energy electric vehicles are gradually reducing fuel resources and emissions Proposed under the background of gradually severe pollution, new energy electric vehicles are becoming more and more well-known to the public for their advantages of pollution-free, low noise, and simple structure. Nowadays, many fully-autonomous vehicles tested mainly use new energy electric vehicles as the carrier. The main reason is that new energy electric vehicles rely on generators and motors to operate the car. Compared with the engines of fuel vehicles, engine , knock, etc. are often uncontrollable. Factors, using software to drive new energy electric vehicles is relatively easier.

However, the low cruising range of new energy electric vehicles is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Now the power battery of new energy electric vehicles changes greatly with the temperature change, and the storage capacity will also change greatly, resulting in a large cruising range. The current range of new energy electric vehicles will be further reduced when the air conditioner is turned on in winter. Problems such as new energy electric vehicles have always existed. If the current technical standards are used in new energy electric vehicles, automatic In the driving experiment, when high-power devices such as lidar and on-board cameras are installed in the vehicle, the actual cruising range is obvious. Therefore, research on power battery technology that can increase cruising range or research on controllable engine control methods,Providing a good carrier for autonomous vehicles is the first step in achieving autonomous driving.

Intelligent

When the car’s electrification achieves a technological breakthrough, the intelligent technology needs a breakthrough. The intelligence here mainly refers to bicycle intelligence, which is also a manifestation of advanced assisted driving. Many brand vehicles have been equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, but only partially automatic driving of L2 and L3 are realized. There is still a long way to go from the automatic driving of L5 . The improvement of bicycle intelligent technology will enable the realization of automatic driving. Provides technical reserves and implementation possibilities, gradually improves the technology of bicycle intelligence, and realizes the automatic driving under bicycle intelligence step by step. It is a transition to realize L5 level automatic driving, and it is also an indispensable solution. Therefore, automobile intelligence is automatic driving. A necessary stage of realization.

Networking

Intelligent autonomous driving of bicycles is far from guaranteeing the true realization of autonomous driving. When a car is driving on the road, it is not just simply driving the vehicle from one area to another, but also observing the change. Nowadays, human drivers need to pay attention to the changes of the road all the time while driving. If all this task is assigned to the car, the accuracy of road environment recognition needs to be explored. The realization of network connection may help bicycle intelligence Identify road conditions more efficiently. Networking is intelligent networking. Through V2X (vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and pedestrians, vehicles and roads, etc.) technology, the changeable road information is transmitted to the cars that have realized bicycle intelligence, so that the vehicles can be able to drive on the road. Being informed in advance and giving corresponding feedback in advance can make autonomous driving safer and more efficient, and it can also promote traffic management and improve driving efficiency. The era of autonomous driving must be inseparable from networking.

Sharing

After the advent of shared bicycles, the concept of sharing has gradually become familiar to the public, but with the completion of companies like OFO , the sense of existence of the sharing concept is getting lower and lower, but autonomous driving The arrival of the times,The concept of sharing may be mentioned again. If the car realizes automatic driving, the vehicle can drive on the road by itself, and when one person is delivered to the destination, it can continue to complete the delivery task of another person, which can save more parking lot development needs and also It can reduce the production of vehicles and maximize resource utilization.

The “new four modernizations” of automobiles may be the optimal path for the development of autonomous driving. First, through the development of “electricity”, provide a good carrier for autonomous vehicles, and then develop “intelligence” to provide autonomous driving Technical reserves, and then the development of "networking" to enable the emergence of autonomous driving to provide higher safety guarantees, and finally through "sharing", to provide feasible means for automatic driving. The above are the most cutting-edge personal views of intelligent driving. So, what do you think? Welcome to pay attention to the forefront of Zhijia and leave a message for exchange.
