On April 28, Beijing issued a notice of unmanned manned demonstration application, Baidu became the first batch of approved enterprises, and its self-driving travel service platform Radish Run officially opened unmanned autonomous driving travel services, which means that the "unmanned behind the steering wheel" automatic driving service was released for the first time in China's megacities. Experts said that in the context of the "Outline for the Construction of a Transportation Powerhouse", this is also an important achievement in Beijing's active efforts to increase the intensity of policy first-movers, seize the opportunity of industrial development strategy, and accelerate the innovation and development of intelligent and connected vehicles, and it is also a major breakthrough in the development of China's automatic driving.
Beijing issued a notice of unmanned manned demonstration application, and Baidu became the first batch of approved enterprises
The Implementation Rules for the Administration of Unmanned Road Testing and Demonstration Applications for Passenger Cars in the Beijing Intelligent Connected Vehicle Policy Pilot Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Rules") formulated and issued by the Beijing Intelligent Connected Vehicle Policy Pilot Zone stipulate that the demonstration application subjects that have obtained the notice can carry out unmanned autonomous driving demonstration applications of open roads within 60 square kilometers of the Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone. On the basis of unmanned road testing, the Detailed Implementing Rules put forward higher requirements for the safety management, network and data security, and risk response of test subjects.
This time, Baidu carried out unmanned manned demonstration applications in accordance with the requirements of the Detailed Implementing Rules, and invested 10 unmanned vehicles in the first batch, and planned to add 30 unmanned vehicles in the follow-up plan. So far, Baidu has the largest fleet of driverless vehicles in China. At the same time, Baidu actively meets the technical challenges of Beijing's complex road scenes, and ensures passengers' travel safety and ride experience in all aspects under the guarantee of bicycle intelligence, monitoring redundancy, parallel driving three-layer safety system and complete travel service system.
It is understood that relying on the solid accumulation of 27 million kilometers of road measurement mileage in 9 years, Baidu Radish Run has achieved autonomous driving manned travel services in megacities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and has become the world's largest autonomous driving travel service provider. In the fourth quarter of 2021 alone, the number of orders for radish fast running manned people has reached 213,000, and this data is still growing at a high speed in 2022.
