Baidu and Changan Automobile jointly launched a smart car
Baidu also prepared a smart car on the way to the Internet of Things and driverless.
What is Baidu Smart Car?
Compared to Baidu unmanned cars that opened in the Fifth Ring Road in December last year, most people may not necessarily know Baidu’s "smart car strategy." This is another plan Baidu announced in March this year that is related to car networking. In March, Baidu also announced that it has signed strategic cooperation with Changan Automobile to jointly develop smart cars.
According to Baidu’s official description:
Smart car will be based on Changan Automobile, and will be Baidu vehicle private cloud, mobile phone - vehicle connectivity solutions into the car; at the same time, Baidu and Changan Automobile will jointly develop vehicle voice control technology, and to achieve the technology on the Changan model Production.
The development of these software and services will be handed over to Baidu’s own Connected TV Division.
In terms of scale, Baidu has also stated that it will build several hundred thousand smart cars with Changan in the coming year, reaching three million to five years.
Later, at the end of April at the Beijing Auto Show, Zotye also announced that it had reached a cooperation with Smart Cars and was the second Baidu Smart Car Cooperative Vehicle Factory.
Baidu General Manager of Intelligent Car Strategy Yuan Xing
Baidu official once summed up the logic of smart cars: (on PCs and mobile phone two generations of terminals) The core functions of the previous two generations of terminals are search and communication, respectively. When the car as the third generation connection terminal becomes mainstream, travel becomes the core. Features. In this context, the demand for maps and navigation will expand dramatically.
The implication is that the map will be the main entry point for Baidu smart cars, and it may even become the key point in Baidu's "car repair" related business.
Baidu prepares how to build "car ecology" based on maps
According to the data released by Baidu, Baidu map has been online for more than 7 years. At present, 300 million monthly live users have been accumulated , of which about 60 million are owners, and the daily positioning request has reached more than 30 billion times. Baidu hopes that a large user base will use information such as the position and driving behavior of the feedback from the map to provide big data support for the intelligence of Baidu’s smart cars.
Yuan Xing, general manager of Baidu Smart Car Strategy, told us that the "car ecology" based on Baidu maps will be:
1, smart map
At the moment, the map itself has begun to evolve due to the driving demand for smart driving:
SD Map - Provides users with simple location and geographic information.
ADAS map - can clearly understand the curvature and slope of the road, the number of lanes, the three-dimensional location of traffic lights, three-dimensional modeling of buildings.
HD Maps - With LiDAR, the point cloud generated by the laser scanner and the high-definition camera can be combined to a precision of 10-20 cm.
Map revolution
If the first two maps are seen, then high-precision maps are created for self-driving cars. Many of the information captured by the high-definition camera, through point cloud and object recognition algorithms, can detect a variety of objects: telegraph poles, fences, curbs, and the three-dimensional coordinates of the object, integrated into the map information for automated driving services.
Yuan Xing, general manager of Baidu’s smart car strategy, told Lei Fengwang that these maps are not only HD but also “liveâ€:
“At present, Baidu is constructing a Learning Map, which will deploy 250 data acquisition vehicles nationwide to collect road information and send it to the map production link to ensure the liveliness and effectiveness of the map.â€
Learning Map Architecture
2. Smart driving
When the live, real-time updated high-precision map can continuously provide the details of the road to the vehicle, there is a “wisdom driving†section in “Car Ecologyâ€.
Baidu’s goal is the third-class automatic driving of the US standard (Level 3, with steering wheel), and it is hoped that mass production will be carried out within 3-5 years.
At the current stage, related products are divided into two layers:
The upper level is the vehicle-to-human interaction (HMI);
The lower level includes high-precision maps, environmental awareness, self-positioning, and in-car decision systems.
Establishing a dialogue between the upper and lower layers is the current product line architecture of Baidu Maps.
At the same time, Baidu's accumulated research in AI and deep learning over the years will also be shared by many of its businesses. The sample size and deep learning network model currently collected will also be smart driving services.
3, intelligence services
After smart maps and smart driving form a virtuous circle, the wisdom service will analyze and excavate major data. The data will be provided as a service ( DaaS) to OEM/4S shops/Tier 1 (level 1 supplier) and enter various types of services. Among various models, the company will further provide big data capabilities to depots. In the past year, there have been 60 depots and 150 models have reached cooperation with Baidu.
In the ideal state conceived by Baidu, the above three groups form an effective closed loop, and a smart car ecology based on Baidu Maps was established. But at what speed these ideas can be landed, Baidu’s competitor on the map, Gao De, is also rapidly deploying smart driving and autonomous driving, and announces the progress of smart cars after six months. Please pay attention to Lei Feng network (search "Lei Feng network" public number attention) in 2 days, Baidu World Congress reported.
This article is a new intellectual article and welcomes attention to new intellectual driving. Wechat add "New Driver" to subscribe to the public number.
Our company specializes in the production and sales of all kinds of terminals, copper terminals, nose wire ears, cold pressed terminals, copper joints, but also according to customer requirements for customization and production, our raw materials are produced and sold by ourselves, we have their own raw materials processing plant, high purity T2 copper, quality and quantity, come to me to order it!
