Che dongxi March 23 news, today, the heart of the machine held the chief intellectual officer conference, a number of autonomous driving and chip field leaders participated in the conference, the co-founder and CEO of the end of the wisdom of the united nations Gu Weihao also participated in the conference.
Gu Weihao delivered a speech with the theme of "Data Intelligence, the AI Evolution Path of Autonomous Driving", and he believes that in the autonomous driving industry, who can efficiently and cost-effectively mine the value of data can become the king of competition.
At the conference, while showing the outside world a series of outstanding achievements of Miller Zhixing, Gu Weihao also introduced in detail the core driving force of the evolution of Milliper's ability - data intelligence system MANA (Snow Lake).

First, the assisted driving system has been equipped with six models of vehicles, and the user has traveled more than 6 million kilometers
At the beginning of its establishment, Zhixing formulated a windmill strategy, and made efforts in the three aspects of passenger cars, terminal logistics unmanned vehicles, and intelligent hardware, and has achieved good results so far.
In the field of passenger cars, the millimae assisted driving system has been installed on six Great Wall Motors models, covering tens of thousands of vehicles. The mileage of assisted driving users has exceeded 6 million kilometers. In the next two years, assisted driving will cover 1 million vehicles, allowing more people to enjoy the advantages of intelligent driving.

In the field of terminal logistics unmanned vehicles, Zhixing has reached cooperation with Wumart Duodian, Meituan, and Ali Damo Academy, accumulating 1,000 vehicles.
In terms of intelligent hardware, Zhixing has also made some attempts to follow the robot.
Second, the launch of the data intelligence system MANA to establish four core advantages
Gu Weihao said in his speech that behind the 6 million kilometers of usage data, there are many situations that were not considered before mass production, and the road conditions in the real world are more complicated than imagined.
Based on the research and development and landing practice of AI autonomous driving technology, a curve of development of autonomous driving capabilities is summarized: F=Z+M(X). Where F stands for product force, Z stands for millimae first-generation product, and M is a function that transforms data into knowledge, including data acquisition, expression, storage, transmission, computation, verification, and impact on cost and speed.

Here, it also leads to the most core driving force of the zhixing - the data intelligence system MANA.
Gu Weihao believes that the basic perception, decision-making, control and other capabilities of the system module have been relatively mature, but large-scale popularization and generalization, as well as adapting to different regions, environments and scenarios, still face challenges.
Data will be the biggest driver of ARTIFICIAL intelligence and the biggest cost in the evolution of intelligence. At the heart of data intelligence is reducing costs and increasing iteration speed.
Mana is a complete set of data processing tools, algorithm models, test verification systems, simulation tools and computing hardware based on massive data, including FOUR subsystems of TARS (Data Prototype System), LUCAS (Data Generalization System), VENUS (Data Visualization Platform), AND BASE (Underlying System).

In today's speech, Gu Weihao also introduced the data intelligence system MANA in detail from the four dimensions of perception, cognition, simulation and calculation.
In terms of perception, compared with the previous standard result fusion method, Zhixing adopts a more efficient process fusion method, and adds time-series features for spatio-temporal fusion, which better plays the performance of the sensor and then quickly increases the perception ability.

In terms of cognition, Gu Weihao believes that it is necessary to have three major elements: safety, comfort and efficiency. With css, which has a full-stack self-developed safety cognitive model, it can also learn the understanding of the behavior of other traffic participants and the historical experience of time-lapse while ensuring that the system itself does not make mistakes, ensuring sufficient safety.
▲MANA cognitive intelligence
On the basis of safety, we learn comfortable and more efficient quantitative standards from data, formulate driving strategies that are more in line with user preferences, and build a cognitive intelligence closed-loop system through automated scene mining, reinforcement learning, and simulation engines, continuously extract knowledge from massive human driving data, and quickly iterate on the cognitive algorithm capabilities of the vehicle.
Simulation is also a very important part, through simulation tests for perception and cognitive effect verification, can greatly improve efficiency.
As for computing power, Gu Weihao believes that the storage and computing scale of images in the future will dominate, which will bring new revolutions to storage and computing. In order to use enough computing power to support the operation of MANA, it is necessary to establish a supercomputing center, and the MANA supercomputing center is currently in preparation.
▲Zhixing plans to establish a MANA Supercomputing Center
Based on the data intelligence system MANA, the progress of Zhixing in intelligent driving is also very rapid. Gu Weihao said that the urban NOH assisted driving system launched in the middle of this year will be specially optimized for the diverse and complex road conditions of the city, and fully supported by MANA, and will also help the continuous evolution and growth of milli-mo products through MANA's extensive empowerment in the future.
