Zhang Yongwei: Chinese road car the world’s leading collaborative brainstorming but needs

has learned to buy a car, November 12, “the Seventh China and South Korea Automobile Industry Development Seminar” organized by the National Information Center for Information and Development, Industry and Hyundai Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Cooperation (hereinafter referred to as “China and South Korea automobile Forum”) held in Beijing.

It is understood that the forum of “Eastern wisdom, autopilot drive a new era” as the theme. As we all know, the current automotive industry is experiencing an unprecedented large change in order to autopilot core of the intelligent network linking technology is reshaping the entire automotive industry supply chain. Forum site, and Korean automotive industry experts, business leaders, as well as guests from Chinese and foreign enterprises also discuss the latest developments and future direction of the automatic driving skills from multiple angles.

During the General Assembly, Chinese electric car Hundred, Secretary General and Chief expert Zhang Yongwei made the theme of “China autopilot technology trends and industrial prospects,” the speech. Zhang Yongwei believes that the autopilot on major international autopilot, intelligent network-linking, co-carriageway Three Developmental route. Currently, co-carriageway route is attracting more and more attention and discussion. Carriageway collaboration not only in intelligent driving, require intelligent urban development, but also conducive to join its technical characteristics and cost sharing more emerging force of development. At present, China’s road car co-pilot had made a lot of progress, but also come to the forefront of the world. But as an emerging technology, China to explore synergies road car also exposed poor infrastructure, car networking immature, laws and regulations need to be improved and so on. The future, China needs to further improve the construction of the car platform, cloud control platform, the test platform.

At the same time, on autopilot future, some people think that might be commercialized in the next two, three years, Zhang Yongwei think you can start automatic parking, logistics and other fixed place scene began to apply. In any case, the future of the autopilot is still in the discussion stage, but also need more people brainstorming.

The following is the speech Record:

Hello everybody afternoon! Is proud to participate in the discussion in the afternoon, Hyundai this year to our domestic industry the most impressive is its fuel cell technology and the development of autopilot. There are so few big companies to promote the global automotive industry will have a smart accelerated phase, take advantage of this opportunityI wanted to talk about, we think of the idea of ​​a recent aspect of intelligent vehicle development.

We all know smart car, we simple, three more general outlines roadmap, bicycle-based autopilot route, which to some enterprises as the representative of the United States; one is especially in our country State Ministry of the main drivers of the cars to + communications network linking the main road of development; the third and last in the United States put a little more recently in the country we are also of concern is a collaborative model: co-carriageway mode. Of course, intelligent network with a lot of content and collaborative road vehicles are crossed, but from a research and development perspective, these three may still be relatively technical route are essentially different.

I discussed today is in the end what kind of technology will be the future route of the dominant route. It is indeed difficult to want to understand it.

Today, I see the theme of the meeting was very wise, autopilot with thinking look at the future of the East. As China is concerned, recently we discussed relatively hot car synergistic way this route.

road car and shared a number of technical and cost required for intelligent driving, which is a very important everyone’s consensus, the car does not want too much loading equipment, some technical difficulty and cost of things needed by the Road to support the road also like to take this opportunity to become more intelligent, on the one hand to support the need for automatic driving, it can also be used to support intelligent urban development needs, such as urban transport, urban management, in order to develop automatic driving , for the first time in history the Chinese authorities pipeline sector and the tube industry, we have enthusiasm, we feel that the car is a good way synergy logical model. The second carriageway promote collaborative power of some emerging power, the car company is not dominant.

Recently, we looked at several places of the pilot, co-promote the carriageway of the main driving force comes from doing some road test equipment manufacturers and communication. We also now include telecommunications operators, these non-traditional automotive power to become the dominant force of the first wave of collaboration to promote road car, slowly there may be some Internet companies, road construction companies, car companies may join, but the first wave of what I think are some of the equipment manufacturers, of course, they are not to sell equipment I do not know, this is the main driving force some companies.

The third is involved in the transport sector. LiveThe main impetus to the automotive sector is the industrial sector, the transport sector as a management side and the application side, in this era of intelligent network-linking, co-car road network era, the depth of its involvement, the role previously and will have a fundamental difference. This collaborative development of the road car, there will be a significant support. That government resources to promote this route may be dominated by traffic or city these sectors.

A fourth technical conditions conducive to collaborative support road car, and the car is the development of 5G network in China, it addresses the carriageway, communication needs between the truck, the possibility is there. 5G also in an incipient. So whether it is from an economic point of view, from a technical point of view, from the perspective of promoting the participation of the body in terms of technology in China three co-carriageway route which this route does have its wish to further promote the viability of. This is why there is a new route east.

The second really at home we also have some pilot. These pilots are a different enterprises to participate in, and indeed made some very big step forward. For example, our industrial sector, in particular to do communications, equipment to do, do calculations, including cloud services company aggressively enter. Some devices promote collaboration in road car technology advances, the cost reduction is the acceleration. Past a laser radar in the car might be 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, now installed in the road after the change in performance, its rapid decline in costs, because it increases demand. A car, a road, we need to demand large scale. After the end of the road for industrial production of this device, showing an accelerated reduce costs. This provides a very good technical support and products for our armed road.

Second, certain companies have been under a vehicle in road vehicles collaborative environment a number of demonstration or test, such as Guangzhou Automobile, SAIC, Geely, Dongfeng, including steam, has Some vehicles realize the function associated network, but also to achieve the initial connection or interconnection between the carriageway.

In addition collaborative way around the car some new technology platform began to appear, now academia and industry, we put the heat is relatively high cloud platform, a large number of vehicle data, map data, road test traffic data is uploaded to the cloud, and then some AI real-time processing in the cloud to support the need for automatic driving of the vehicle. So some called cloud control platform, and some called the car networking platform, some called wisdom platform travel and so on. ActuallyThat is, some of the supporting platform based on real-time big data.

so carriageway collaboration in the country, from equipment to demonstrate to the construction of a number of platforms, have indeed made great progress, or you can speak to a large extent in China’s car industry cooperative road ecology, should walk in front of the world, the industry ecology, basically taking shape, ahead of the world.

but is really just the beginning of a process, beginning in the early stages of development, many problems are encountered in normal road car to explore the synergy this is no exception. And these questions are difficult and sometimes beyond your imagination. Superposition of many problems can not let go this route – the reality is full of such a question. For example, the issue we are talking about infrastructure: roads, we all feel that way to be intelligent, but now is concerned, there is no standard. To a different place to repair the road is not the same, so that the road can not go in accordance with standard construction, more than make cars in China in terms of product, according to the standard is much more difficult to build, it is a great challenge.

The second is the construction of the main road is not clear, including its business model, who is going to invest such an intelligent facilities, how to make them more intelligent facilities, to produce a commercial operation mode, now speaking, is still very unclear. No business model, there is no subject of investment, lack of sustainability. Build a road can be built hundreds of kilometers, can be thousands of kilometers, all the way to the main road, or are intelligent, really it is a very big investment push the issue.

now several pilot cities have experienced previous government to build the road, behind the capital who encounter such a problem, not the answer.

our technology is in its infancy, we are talking about technical communication, we did a pilot city in Hubei, delay, carriageway 5G collaborative pass over, we had said that 100 or even 200 milliseconds, it can be done, but now it often unstable, sometimes tens of milliseconds of delay, some 1000, 2000 ms, it is two seconds, so this is the case, the transmission speed restricted the development of co-carriageway ,technical problem.

and then we call a road car it takes a collaborative network of independent – vehicle networking, but now this network and the primary network 5G are not the same, is the basis for 5G networkConstruction and operation of parties to a new car networking in construction and operation, or that there will be a new body construction and operation of the network to support a new car with the autopilot of the car and support a coordinated way, or not clear, so this It is also a question of infrastructure. This network is not established, this road is actually not service vehicles. It should be a matter of synchronization. It also encountered the problem of investment, business models and a variety of controls, regulations breakthrough, of course, there are some platform behind the product certification, laws and regulations, this I think these issues add up to let more and more depth suspect vehicle driving routes automatically coordinated way, can not go faster.

now have a beginning, but then, to go down the more problems go more in this route which, it needs to establish some countries must be able to reflect some of the industry platform it will, because it fear autopilot appear more worried about the era of negative externalities. So by leading or be able to monitor the operation of some of the platform, which is to ensure that the industry can reduce the autopilot a basic prerequisite for negative externalities, otherwise it is full of danger.

The first platform inside the car platform, which is connected to the road to go, even up to the cloud, so the platform can not be too much. Moreover, this platform should be under a safe and controlled mode. So-board operating platform in the future will be how to take industrial progress and industrial security responsibilities, these two are not missing. Now many more companies taking into account the technological advances of the car platform, but then, lack of technical safety, so I think it is a question of the future of this country platform properties may also need to be carefully considered. Without such a secure grasp of autonomous, collaborative way that car terminal may be difficult to achieve its high security, this is the first.

The second platform is a cloud platform on the cloud platform, the car road information, the platform not only assumed the role of data collection, more important is the use of this platform can carry a variety of applications. Moreover, this platform can serve the needs of both automatic driving of the vehicle, it can also serve to intelligent traffic and it’s such a smart city management, development needs. So how building this platform? This should not be built, who built? How to how to run its effective supervision, this is also a time to really need to seriously consider. Now this place has been built based on some of the travel management platform,But just a place, the greater are not also taken into account. So this platform is to ensure that our industry can have technological progress, and make sure it’s safe and controllable second basic facilities.

The third test platform, what kind of components can be loaded into the car to go to fit into a way to go, what kind of product, what kind of car and operating system, can on the road, must undergo a rigorous testing and certification. Now test standards, test conditions are not available. We have a lot of testing organizations, and everyone is familiar with the testing and certification of conventional vehicles, for vehicle road test this collaborative intelligent network linking both the lack of standards, lack of conditions. Even in large part, with the smart car, smart technology development, or even do not match. Or is literally cooperate with each other, it does take time to consider.

We want to ensure that our standards to ensure our baton able to guide the development of the industry, rather than allow it to adapt to our traditions, to influence technological progress. So this is our testing and certification, put forward high requirements. Now the country will also set up a lot of open test range, this would provide a good environment for world-class vehicle is able to find the scene.

is an open section of the road in some places, some places are opening up a whole area, which is unique, this open road test environment, I think China may also come to the front. In addition, as in many places in Shanghai, also adapted to the construction of a closed test site autopilot, some institutions, also proposed establishing some services to the research and development of such a simulation or test platform. The overall feeling is just the beginning, the platform, in the end how to locate in the country, how to form a large platform authoritative, this may take time. This is the way to go car coordination, basic conditions that need it, while the autopilot may have different commercial judgment, radical thing is our car for three years, two years can fast commercialization, put a little bit more conservative or cautious it is called the gradual industrialization, lay eggs along the way: from the easiest first commercial, for example, recently we feel that the automatic parking, public parking China is 3-50000, that is, non-registered hundreds of thousands of parking resources, improve parking usage field, this may seem small, but it is most likely to fall, especially automatic driving car road collaboration, autopilot vehicles L2 and L3, and intelligent parkingfield. For example, there are the logistics, we all feel that this is possible at high speed, in which the logistics environment, to be the first to realize the autopilot, which is the level of mass market in China market. Every year we nearly 700 million, more than 6.6 million trucks in the heavy truck fleet, 6-8 years for a year are replaced by the base of one million, the scale is enormous, including specific vehicles, as unmanned landing, or unmanned and plant construction simultaneously, it is possible to landing so some scenes, such as carts, car park logistics, port vehicles and so on, I think this is huge.

passenger car we think the most reliable, the most magical, the most anticipated is that we now RVs – that is, private car. Are seeing more unmanned vehicle is low, which is the first to use them in the feeder area, not only conforms to the rhythm of the current regulatory compliance, while also providing for a gradual maturing process technology. It may be one step more difficult.

Whether it is about its technical route, or around how to secure reliable technical route in China or around the floor of the commercial scene arrangement, the autopilot is required in a brainstorming, a multi-party discussions stage. We think this is just some of the recent research. Just say, a very one-sided thinking. Speak wrong wrong place, please keep criticism.

Thank you!
