Recently, Jidu announced the latest progress of car manufacturing, and the sheep carding is the following 3!
1. In the selection of automatic driving routes, the set measurement production vehicle will adopt pure visual route and multi-sensor fusion including lidar, and two algorithm redundancy schemes.

The lidar scheme uses two Hesai Technology radars, and the horizontal viewing angle will reach 180 degrees.
In addition, the model pictures given by the event show that for the first time, Jidu Automobile has laid out lidar on the left and right sides of the front hood.
It can also be seen on the picture of the engineering prototype given by Jidu Automobile that there are bumps on the left and right sides of the hood, which should be two lidars.
These two sets of perception schemes are independent of each other and complement each other - even if it solves the problem of industry vision or lidar route dispute, as for which system is dominant after mass production, and how the two systems work and make decisions, etc., the concentration is not disclosed.
In terms of progress, Dr. Wang Weibao, head of Jidu Automobile Intelligent Driving, revealed that the SOFTWARE INTEGRATION Engineering Prototype SIMUCar 2.0 equipped with 2 lidars has opened the test of multi-sensor solutions.
Compared with the pure visual route of the SIMUCar 1.0 stage, after the addition of lidar, the blind spots processed by the visual scheme can be supplemented with redundancy, such as driving scenes at night.

2. Jidu has started the research and development and pre-research of follow-up models, and its second mass production car will be released at the Guangzhou Auto Show at the end of this year.
3. The epidemic in Shanghai has no impact on the Jidu concept car and the mass production in the later stage.
Some media asked: Under the epidemic situation in Shanghai, several depots have stopped production, or issued a warning of suspension of production, will Jidu's first mass production car be affected and postponed?
Jidu response: The company has set up a special procurement team, Jidu concept car, as well as the first mass production car delivered in 2023, will not be affected by the epidemic.
