In the past two years, self-driving cars are definitely one of the hottest keywords in the automotive industry, after experiencing a series of preparations and accumulations such as questioning, controversy, enlightenment, following the trend, trial and error, etc., Chinese cars have ushered in a new year of intelligent interconnection development, but the entire industrial pattern has not yet formed, still full of variables, what are the trends and misunderstandings of autonomous vehicles? How to build a safe self-driving car? Zhu Xichan, professor of the School of Automotive Science of Tongji University and director of the Institute of Automotive Safety Technology, believes that the revolution of the automobile industry has brought new vitality to the automobile industry, and the current "intelligent battle" is starting, focusing on L3 and L4 automatic driving, and the landing of L3 and L4 does not have to take no accidents and zero accidents as the safety boundary, but tolerates certain residual risks. He said: "With the joint efforts of the government and enterprises, automatic driving should be able to land this year." The future of smart cars is definitely not a means of transportation, but may form a mobile Internet of Things intelligent terminal. We say that car safety is important, but safety will not be a roadblock to the revolution in smart car technology. “

The era of automatic driving has spawned countless topics, and millimeter-wave radar, as the core perception system in automatic driving, has become the center of the topic and is being closely watched by OEMs and capital markets. Dr. Zhang Igong, co-founder and CTO of Nanjing Chuhang Technology Co., Ltd., introduced the characteristics and application scenarios of vehicle-mounted 4D millimeter-wave radar, and he mentioned: "The main battlefield of 4D radar, especially 4D point cloud imaging radar, is the low-speed automatic driving (L4) and vehicle-mounted lidar in the limited scene in terms of performance and cost", "Compared with the target-level fusion of ADAS sensor target-level, the application of L3 above is actually more challenging because of the different sensor principles and failure mechanisms." Finally, he sent a message to the prototype 4D radar prototype of Chuhang Technology in early 2022 - "4D radar Tang Qianyan, early into the homes of ordinary people." ”
