Military Technology

After listening to Zhou Yonghui and others' introduction about this kind of smart landmine, Wu Hao and his team, under the guidance of Zhou Yonghui and others, walked out of the laboratory, took the shuttle bus, and came to a long building about one kilometer away from the laboratory. The strip-shaped white factory building is also a laboratory. However, compared to the previous smart mine laboratory, this laboratory is not high, but its footprint is much larger than the previous one.

Walking into this laboratory, Wu Hao and the others seemed to have entered a high-precision production factory, which also aroused everyone's strong interest in this place.

Looking at the curious eyes of everyone, Zhou Yonghui smiled and introduced: "This is one of our research centers for intelligent unmanned vehicles, mainly engaged in the research of intelligent unmanned vehicles."

Smart self-driving car? After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then became confused.

Regarding the technology of intelligent unmanned vehicles, it is actually not new. Major manufacturers and many research institutions are scrambling to study it, and there are already many very good intelligent unmanned vehicles that have entered the market and have achieved very good results. .

Regarding intelligent unmanned vehicles, they are mainly divided into three parts, one part is civilian-level vehicles. This part of civilian-grade vehicles is mainly divided into three parts: civilian passenger vehicles, civilian freight vehicles, and civilian engineering and technical vehicles.

In fact, strictly speaking, special operation vehicles should be included. However, it is difficult to define the nature of this part of the vehicle. You may say it is a civilian vehicle, but it is also a special vehicle.

Civilian-grade smart unmanned vehicles are currently the most competitive field. Major manufacturers are targeting this field and have launched a series of self-driving vehicles. Riding in unmanned vehicles is not really unmanned. The unmanned person here can only be driverless, which is the autonomous driving that car manufacturers vigorously promote.

Autonomous driving ranges from L1 to L4. Currently, L2 level autopilot is more common. Although many manufacturers claim that they are looking into L4 level autopilot, which does not require driver intervention, the current laws are not perfect yet. Regarding autonomous driving, The law has not been enacted. So most of the current autonomous vehicles are still at the L2 level. Of course, even at the L2 level, the current L2 autonomous driving is much more advanced than the autonomous driving six or seven years ago.

In the past, it was due to technical factors that only L2 autonomous driving could be achieved, but now it is due to legal and policy reasons that the autonomous driving technology is limited to the L2 level. The two are completely different.

For example, the autonomous driving technology cooperated by B Asia Auto and Haoyu Technology has reached the L4 level. But because of this reason, the technical control method is compressed to the L2 level. But its autonomous driving performance has already surpassed the L2 level of the same level, and even the L4 level autonomous driving technology promoted by some manufacturers.

The reason why laws and regulations in this area have not been formulated and improved is mainly because of the great controversy in the identification of accidents involving autonomous vehicles. If it's a minor accident, it doesn't matter if you take out insurance or something. But if it is a major accident, especially an accident caused by an autonomous vehicle unintentionally or malfunctioning, how should the responsibilities be divided? Is it allocated to the owner of the car, the passengers, or is it allocated to the manufacturer of the car?

Assigned to the owner and passengers, they are just pure passengers and do not interfere with the driving of the car, so what responsibilities do they have. Even if there is nature, at most there is joint liability, so who should bear the main responsibility for the accident?

If it is assigned to the manufacturer, they are just a manufacturing unit, so why should they bear the relevant responsibilities that arise during use. Even if the problems are caused by some defects of the vehicle itself, only general liability can be pursued.

It is precisely because of this that responsibilities in this area are difficult to define. There is even a very real problem in the application of autonomous driving technology, that is, insurance companies are generally reluctant to accept such policies because the risks are too great. Even if you accept it, the premium is very high. Just like new energy vehicles, the insurance premium is very high, basically three or four times that of ordinary vehicles.

Therefore, major automobile manufacturers and autonomous driving technology suppliers are currently promoting the formulation and promulgation of relevant domestic laws and regulations. And major manufacturers are also working with relevant departments and units to formulate new national standards for autonomous driving technology.

Only the introduction of standards in this area can regulate the various autonomous driving technologies on the market, rather than what level of autonomous driving technology the manufacturer claims to be.

This is just like the English Level 46 test. You will know your level after taking the test.

Compared with some car manufacturers who hope to muddle along and lower the threshold of autonomous driving technology, Haoyu Technology and an autonomous driving technology manufacturer advocate raising the entry threshold for autonomous driving technology to ensure autonomous driving. Safety of Driving Techniques.

The motivation or purpose of these car manufacturers to lower the threshold of autonomous driving technology is actually very simple. That is, they do not have the technology in this area themselves, and the technologies in this area are all pieced together. Raising the technical threshold of this part will undoubtedly make these manufacturers Blocking it out increased their production costs.

In particular, the rise of new energy vehicles has led to a large number of capital manufacturers entering the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing. These manufacturers and capital have no technology in hand, and they all buy related technologies from others. In order to control costs, these manufacturers bought some technically obsolete or backward technologies, and then repackaged and marketed them, thus launching so-called cost-effective vehicles.

Then they brag about the L3 and L4 levels of their so-called autonomous driving technology, but who knows what level it is, let them define it themselves.

Therefore, these manufacturers are very resistant to the introduction of national standards for autonomous driving technology. However, this is the general trend, so these manufacturers have begun to operate through various channels, hoping to reduce the technical requirements in this area.

As a technology supplier that truly owns the technology, it is natural that it does not want to lower the technical standards in this area. On the one hand, lowering standards is a loss for them. In this way, the so-called autonomous driving technology that people spend millions or tens of millions to develop is at the same level as the autonomous driving that they spent billions or tens of billions to develop. So what does this mean? What are the standards? What's the point?

In addition, if this technical standard is set very low, it will not be conducive to the healthy development of future autonomous driving technology and even the entire automobile industry, and will affect independent innovation of autonomous driving and the automobile industry.
