Songguo Financial News, according to Titanium Media, Baidu Create 2021 (Baidu AI Developer Conference) autonomous driving sub-forum, Baidu Apollo autonomous driving open platform Apollo 7.0 version was officially released, and showed the outside world Apollo X plan in the layout of the multi-car robot ecology.
As an important support for the landing of Baidu's multi-faceted automotive robots, the autonomous driving open platform has achieved a milestone complete evolution from code to tools, from open source platform to tool platform.
On the basis of the four open source platforms of cloud services, open source software, hardware development, and vehicle certification, Apollo 7.0 provides a series of upgrades including the one-stop practice cloud platform Apollo Studio, simulation services, and new models, which not only open code full capabilities, but also provide a full-stack toolchain for autonomous driving.
At the cloud service platform level, Apollo 7.0 officially upgraded the "data pipeline" service in version 6.0 to Apollo Studio, covering the whole process of cloud toolchain for developers from machine to car practice.
At the simulation platform level, Apollo 7.0 launched the industry's first PnC reinforcement learning model training and simulation evaluation platform, which has multiple advantages such as data real, powerful functions, comprehensive evaluation standards, and scalable architecture.
At the level of open source software platform, Apollo 7.0 upgrades the perception and prediction algorithm modules, and introduces three deep learning-based models of MaskPillars, SMOKE and Inter-TNT, effectively reducing missed detection, jitter and other issues.
