On December 27, The China Securities Network reported that recently, at the DJI vehicle experience exchange activity, the person in charge Xie Khotan said that the DJI vehicle team is expanding rapidly, and the team personnel has reached nearly 1,000 people.
DJI is undoubtedly the most famous drone brand, with drones accounting for more than 80% of the global market share. Although DJI's name is thunderous in the field of drones, few people know that it is also quite successful in the field of smart cars.
On April 12, DJI officially launched its intelligent driving business brand, DJI Automotive. On April 14, Xiaopeng Automobile officially launched its first model equipped with lidar - Xiaopeng P5, which is equipped with Livox Technology, which is the Livox technology incubated by DJI.
DJI vehicles mainly include intelligent driving solutions and intelligent components, of which intelligent driving solutions include intelligent driving D80/D80+, intelligent driving D130/D130+ and intelligent parking P100/P1000.
DJI Intelligent Driving Solution is very simple and crudely named, taking the Intelligent Driving D80/ as an example, this intelligent driving solution can support L2+ level autonomous driving in the speed range of 0 to 80km/h. The D80+ adds lidar, driving behavior recognition and early warning cameras and 4 surround view (fisheye) cameras on the basis of the ordinary version, which can reach the level of automatic driving at the L3 level.
The same is true for the D130 and D130+, except that they adjust the speed range to 0 to 130km/h. As for the P100 and P1000, the former is for the last 100 meters of parking scenes, and the latter is for the last 1000 meters of parking scenes.
In addition, in terms of the performance of intelligent driving, the D80/D80+ has been subdivided into "standard" versions and "high-end" versions according to consumer needs. You know, in this era of gradual popularization of smart cars, L2-level autonomous driving technology will sooner or later become standard like the current ESP body stabilization system.
DJI on the UAV, not only has visual obstacle avoidance technology, but also lidar technology, these two technologies perfectly fit the needs of car assisted driving, not to do car assisted driving solutions is a pity. Fortunately, DJI is currently urgently expanding its scale, and the market for electric vehicles is very large, which is completely enough for DJI to raise a huge team. Some traditional car companies have insufficient technical accumulation at the level of assisted driving, which is suitable for cooperation with DJI.
DJI's next step is to accumulate massive user driving data to continuously train AI. Compared with Tesla's Autopilot, the AI trained by DJI may be relatively more suitable for domestic road conditions.
