Integrating vision into AEB, Ideal ONE won the first place in the AEB test with excellent results

Smart technology can be expressed in another, more concrete way, and that is smart cars. The car facilitates our travel from the root, and in the hundred years of automobile development, it has gradually become closely related to our lives. But at the same time, there is also the convenience of the intelligent era, and the car is also one of the carriers of intelligent technology.
However, the development of intelligent technology will not stop here, so the intelligent technology system equipped with the car will continue to be upgraded and optimized. Ideal car as a model of home in the industry, it from all aspects of the user's convenience as the starting point, and then in terms of intelligent technology will not fall behind, therefore, ideal ONE with the arrival of the new year, will also upgrade the intelligent system.
To this end, the models also participated in the AEB test, and there are hundreds of models involved. On January 11, 2022, ideal ONE stood out with its strength and won the first place in the AEB test, achieving excellent results here. At the same time, the Ideal ONE is also the only model in the Finals group that has the ability to accurately identify transverse vehicles and two-wheelers.
Horizon J3 chip
Since then, Ideal Auto has become the third brand in the world after Tesla and Xiaopeng to have complete NOA and AEB full-stack self-research capabilities. Starting with this, the road of evolution is fully rolled out at the feet of the ideal car. After the update, the ideal ONE was replaced with the Horizon J3 chip, and the basic ADAS and the basic AEB evolved into NOA and complete AEB.
The Horizon J3 chip can realize NOA navigation assistance and further upgrade the AEB function because it is more suitable for domestic road conditions, so as to clearly identify dynamic obstacles in more driving scenarios. Previously, the 2021 Ideal ONE delivered the basic ADAS and basic AEB functions in June 2021, but in December it delivered noa navigation assisted driving and full AEB functionality.
Differences between the underlying ADAS and NOA
The L2 level driving assistance that we saw more easily before is the basic ADAS, so even if it is called L2 level assisted driving, its use scenarios will be very limited, and it can only play an auxiliary driving role, there are many controls that still require human intervention, but the upgraded NOA has the ability to judge independently.
Even if the vehicle is in a high-speed scenario, it can also achieve autonomous overtaking, lane change, and even take the initiative to enter and exit the ramp, further improving the dynamic driving automation ability of the vehicle. The NOA combines high-precision maps and high-level positioning data, coupled with the fusion perception of millimeter-wave radar and vision, to further stimulate the intelligent and autonomous potential of navigation-assisted driving.
Differences between base AEB and full AEB
AEB is actually an active safety system, the basic AEB mainly relies on the detection results of millimeter-wave radar to identify obstacles in front, and the radar can measure the time of collision based on the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle. But radar can also have false alarms, such as when parking at traffic lights, it is easy to mistake vehicles parked in the surrounding lanes for dangerous objects.
In order to reduce this false positive interference, many data had to be filtered out eventually. This results in vehicles sometimes receiving false collision warnings. The arrival of the complete AEB can effectively improve the false alarm interference, and the complete AEB integrates vision on the basis of the self-developed perception algorithm, so as to more clearly determine the static or dynamic obstacles in front.
At present, most of the models on the market are equipped with AEB functions basically from the packaging solutions provided by suppliers, some of which use millimeter-wave radar for forward obstacle detection, and some use millimeter-wave + visual fusion for detection. Although the solutions proposed by these suppliers are relatively mature, for car companies, they cannot adjust or redefine their capabilities according to their own ideas.
In addition, there are some car companies with independent research and development capabilities, can produce AEB that relies on millimeter-wave radar, and will choose AEB for visual fusion solutions. As far as I know, the only companies that have achieved self-research and landing should be Tesla and Ideal. The vision-introducing AEB detects pedestrians and cyclists, reducing the occurrence of collisions.
If you only rely on millimeter-wave radar for detection, then even if the false touch rate is only 1%, the consequences will be quite terrible. So what we need to do is that the recognition accuracy rate is infinitely close to 100% to avoid probability. It is precisely because of this high demand that AEB can further improve the accuracy after incorporating vision.
summary:
Because of this, the ideal ONE can achieve the first place in the AEB test. Among the models that ranked after it, many came from luxury brands. However, the AEB test tests the core technology of active safety, as well as maturity and accuracy, which is not only to protect pedestrians and cyclists on the road, but also to bring more safe travel protection to users in the car. Based on the complexity of domestic travel modes, in addition to complying with traffic rules, we also need to pay attention to pedestrians and cyclists, and the 2021 Ideal ONE can further increase travel safety after having NOA navigation assisted driving and complete AEB.
