Industry calls for early opening of driverless road testing, not delaying fighters

Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: On July 5, a video of Baidu's chairman Li Yanhong riding a driverless car caused a huge controversy.

On the same day, Baidu held the 2017 AI Developer Conference. Li Yanhong showed a scene of driving a driverless car developed by the company through live video. In this video, Li Yanhong sits in the co-pilot seat of a red car, and the video shows that the driver's seat does not have a driver. The Beijing Traffic Management Department subsequently stated that the current regulations do not allow unmanned driving.

In fact, the relevant departments of the Chinese government have not yet formulated and promulgated relevant laws and regulations, which has caused certain difficulties for Baidu and other companies that are developing driverless cars. Under the current circumstances, not only the R&D company entering the open road to test the driverless car is illegal, but the traffic management department also has no legal basis for penalizing such behavior.

In an interview recently, the reporter found that the industry generally hopes that relevant government departments will formulate relevant policies and regulations for driverless vehicles as soon as possible, so that driverless cars can enter the open road test as soon as possible, and at the same time, the relevant traffic safety law enforcement can be legally enforceable.

Li Keqiang, professor of automotive engineering at Tsinghua University, and Rong Wenwei, chairman of Shanghai International Automobile City, believe that China has a large market in the field of driverless vehicles, a strong information industry, and the first to enter the 5G era, but if the government If the relevant departments have not formulated relevant policies and regulations so that the driverless cars cannot enter the open road test, China may delay the aircraft in the industry and technology fields.

At present, the international competition in the field of driverless vehicles is becoming increasingly fierce, and the formulation of relevant policies and regulations has become very urgent. Now some enterprises have already formed vehicles. If they can't let enterprises enter the open road test as soon as possible, on the one hand, the driverless auto industry, which is originally at the same starting line with foreign companies in China, will eventually lag behind the international development level. The hidden dangers that companies may have on the road.

It is reported that the first unmanned driving car tested on the road has been tested on the open road in the United States for nearly 3 million kilometers. Foreign companies that have driven cars on open roads are accumulating new experimental data every day, laying the foundation for future research and development and technological breakthroughs. Baidu, Tencent and other companies and institutions jointly invested in "Wei Lai Automobile" recently obtained a driverless vehicle test license issued by the California government. Yu Chen, director of the company's public affairs, said that 18 companies around the world have obtained the driver's license test license issued by the California government.

Liang Weiming, senior manager of SAIC Group, said that the development of the driverless automobile industry is in the window period. In the next five to ten years, the driverless technology will be improved day by day and enter the human society in large numbers. We are currently not lagging behind in technology. The key lies in whether the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Communications and other departments can provide support as soon as possible in terms of policies and regulations to promote the development of driverless cars.

Zhu Xi, a professor at the Automotive College of Tongji University, said that although the National Intelligent Network (Shanghai) Demonstration Zone of Shanghai International Automobile City has the world's most complete closed test site for driverless cars, unmanned vehicles should be investigated to cope with complex traffic conditions. The ability to do so is not fully realized in a closed test site and must be tested on an actual open road. As long as the driverless car is allowed to test on open roads as soon as possible, we can get out of the technical road different from the United States. For example, the high-precision positioning of the Beidou satellite can reach the meter level, and the GPS can only reach 10 meters. If we set the driverless car position directly to the lane through the Beidou satellite's meter-level positioning, and then use the "radar + camera" to achieve centimeter-level positioning, we can get out of a technical route different from the US "GPS + radar" positioning. These experiments need to be tested in the Chinese road environment. Enterprises going to the United States and other countries for road testing will not solve the problems that may be encountered in the Chinese market in the future.

Shanghai International Automobile City National Intelligent Network (Shanghai) Demonstration Zone originally planned to build a 27-square-kilometer open road test zone by the end of 2017, and build a 100-square-kilometer typical urban comprehensive demonstration zone by 2019. By 2020, the area will be 150 square meters. “Demonstration City + Shared Traffic Corridor” with kilometers, 500 kilometers of roads and more than 150 inter-city integrated traffic scenes. Last year, the demonstration area participated in the joint launch of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Communications. The National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee led the study on the “Code for Testing the Use of Public Roads by Intelligent Networked Vehicles”, but the specification has not yet been reviewed by various ministries.

In this regard, Professor He Wei of the Suzhou Automobile Research Institute of Tsinghua University said that the data of enterprises sneaked on the road test cannot be made public, and social resources cannot be fully utilized. While the government approves the enterprise's on-road testing, it can require companies to publish non-trade-clear data resources such as public data and accident data to provide a basis for relevant regulatory and government decisions.

Experts believe that the main development trends of the automotive industry in the future include the two directions of intelligence and network integration. If we stick to existing laws and regulations and cannot encourage and support the driverless industry in an open manner, it will delay our country. The opportunity period for the car to power the country.

Rong Wenwei said that when the car first appeared, it was also required to give way to the carriage. "Human development lies in constantly breaking through its cognitive boundaries. From the perspective of automobile development history, the United States led the automobile industry in the early stage of the last century. In the 1970s, the fuel-efficient Japanese cars defeated the fuel-efficient American cars because they seized them. The direction of the development of the times. Whether we can lead in the era of driverless cars, the key lies in whether we can break through the cognitive limitations as soon as possible and form a favorable policy."

At present, the United States, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and other countries with leading technology in the main driverless field are carrying out relevant legislation to adapt to the development needs of the unmanned field in the new era.

The German Federal Senate passed the first law on driverless cars on May 12, allowing cars with self-driving systems to be on the road and replacing human driving under certain conditions. This is the first time in the world that unmanned driving has been incorporated into the road traffic regulations. As a world powerhouse, Germany is now ahead of the game. German Transport Minister Dobrint said after the passage of the law that drone driving brought the biggest travel changes since the invention of the car, so Germany chose "the most modern road traffic law in the world."

The Japanese Police Agency also announced on June 1 the road use permit standards required for unmanned vehicles to be tested on open roads, making it possible for Japanese unmanned vehicles to enter open road tests. This is the first time in Japan that an unmanned vehicle is allowed to perform an open road test in a state where the driver's seat is unmanned. In 2016, Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism established the Driverless Strategy Headquarters, and promoting the development and application of driverless vehicles is an important part of Japan’s medium- and long-term development strategy “Future Investment Strategy 2017”.

As one of the first countries in the world to start developing driverless car technology, the United States issued the first "Federal Policy for Self-driving Cars" document as early as September 2016. Prior to this, several states have passed the state legislation to provide a green light for driverless cars entering the open road test.

Li Keqiang suggested that China can learn from the experience of the above countries and allow the unmanned vehicles to enter the open road test under certain conditions by formulating temporary regulations. For example, it is necessary to first pass the collision avoidance ability and the sensing ability in the closed test area. test.
