Great Wall Network Jiyun Client News (reporter Yan Chengqun) What is the ride experience of self-driving cars and buses on the public road? Is it safe and secure? How exactly is autonomous driving technology achieved?
With these questions in mind, the city image interview activity of "New Atmosphere of the City of The Two Olympics - 2022 Chinese and Foreign Media Beijing Tour" sponsored by the 2022 Beijing News Center came to the Zhongguancun Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone, and 56 reporters from 37 Chinese and foreign media experienced the convenience brought by automatic driving on the spot.

From the Zhongguancun Intelligent Connected Vehicle Frontier Innovation Center to the Daoxianghu Subway Station, the reporters experienced the automatic driving of a pony Zhixing. There is still a person sitting in the main driver's seat, but his identity is no longer that of a driver but a safety officer, and he can only "take over" when the situation is critical. Although it is automatic driving, the car is exceptionally smooth, comparable to the old driver, and even more obedient to traffic rules: turn left and right at the intersection, turn on the turn signal at the first time, the steering wheel operates automatically; when pedestrians cross the road, they know how to stop and give way; there are 3 seconds of green light at the intersection in front of them to turn red, know to slow down and brake; when you arrive at the destination, first observe whether there is a vehicle on the right side, and then pull over...
The staff revealed: "It is precisely under the deep integration of multiple sensors in the whole vehicle that it supports the safe operation of automatic driving." ”

And the performance of the light boat unmanned minibus is also outstanding enough. The introduction of unmanned minibuses is to realize intelligent urban traffic microcirculation and solve the "last three kilometers" travel problems of citizens. Reporters can clearly see the sensor-captured images of motor vehicles, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians from the inside display screen during the test ride. Some foreign media reporters sighed: "It's really too stable!" "This is thanks to the fact that the front of the minibus has 4 lidars, 4 cameras and 1 millimeter-wave radar, and the rear of the bus is equipped with a 64-line lidar and a millimeter-wave radar.
It is reported that automatic driving is driving from "man" to "no one". Not long ago, the Beijing Intelligent Connected Vehicle Policy Pilot Zone has issued a management policy related to unmanned road testing, in line with the principle of "safe and orderly, gradually liberalized", it is clear that the applicant body needs to carry out unmanned road testing in accordance with the three stages of "co-driver", "rear row person" and "remote outside the car", which will gradually remove the safety officer and realize the real unmanned automatic driving.
