Beijing News Shell Financial News (reporter Chen Weicheng Song Meilu) On January 20, the 17th SuperCarmotive Forum of "Smart Driving Carbon New" in 2021, jointly sponsored by Beijing News Shell Finance and Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, and jointly supported by the Automotive Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the Beijing Municipal High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone Work Office, was held as scheduled.
In the roundtable session of "Exploring the Commercialization of Intelligent Driving", Zhang Ning, vice president of Xiaoma Zhixing and head of the Beijing R&D Center, mentioned that he hopes that the pilot operation area for the commercialization of autonomous driving services can be gradually expanded in 2022, and in the future, autonomous driving enterprises and car companies will cooperate in depth to make the industry up together.
On November 25, 2021, Beijing officially opened the first pilot commercialization of autonomous driving travel services in China, and Baidu and Xiaoma Zhixing became the first batch of enterprises to be allowed to carry out commercial pilot services. What are the current operational experiences? Zhang Ning said that the concept of Robotaxi has been around for many years, and in the early years, everyone questioned the technical feasibility, and then the technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and everyone doubted the commercialization of Robotaxi and the acceptance of users. After more than two months of operation, these questions have been answered.
Zhang Ning believes that to show the public automatic driving technology, to show the industry investors and partners the bright future of autonomous driving, there is a need for an operating model; the charging model allows enterprises to have unmanned technology in their left hand, the landing of commercial operation in the right hand, and the commercialization pilot in November 2021 has opened up the second pulse of Ren Dou.
Zhang Ning introduced that the current operation time of Xiaoma Zhixing is from 8:00 to 22:30, and dozens of vehicles provide commercial services in the core area of Yizhuang. On a 5-point scale, the average score was 4.91, and the overall feedback was very good. Yizhuang passenger experience autonomous driving commercial service has become the norm, and wants to provide passengers with a driverless experience that integrates the wisdom of people and the soul of the driver.
For the charging problem, Zhang Ning said that in the early stage of the charging model, it is hoped to attract more users to test ride the vehicle through a relatively preferential price, although it will be reasonably priced according to the length of the mileage, but it has taken a price of 4.9 yuan to attract the user experience, and users are willing to pay for the service.
What is the room for optimization of commercialization pilots? Zhang Ning said that from the user's point of view, hoping to use autonomous driving travel services on a larger scale also means that the operating area can be gradually expanded in 2022. In addition, to a certain extent, the supply exceeds demand, there will also be queuing, and it is hoped that more transportation capacity can be invested in the future, and after reasonable adjustment, there will be a more market-oriented pricing mechanism to meet the needs of local consumers.
What are the differences between vertically autonomous driving companies and car companies? Zhang Ning believes that the two sides will cooperate more and more in the future, if in the early years, each family can engage in technology behind closed doors, and the scale of users will become larger and larger in the future, and it will definitely sink to the combination with the car more and more, so in the future, autonomous driving companies and car companies will cooperate in depth to do the industry together.
"We also need to use the mature supply chain mechanism of car companies to make the future cost better." On the other hand, we also hope that we can create a virtual driver-enabled smart car that can bring a better travel experience to all users, including private cars. Zhang Ning mentioned.
For the 2021 industry summary, Zhang Ning said that the word "fast" can highlight the development of 2021, the industry is developing very rapidly, and the company's internal technology research and development is also changing with each passing day. The policy promotion in 2021 is very favorable, and the Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone allows passenger testing, issues highway road test qualifications, launches a number of unmanned road tests, and opens commercial pilots.
