Nowadays, many car companies are developing autonomous driving technology, and the goals of these companies' automatic driving are of course the highest, which can be completely without driver control, that is, "no one can be behind the steering wheel".
Just recently, Beijing issued a notice of unmanned manned demonstration application, Baidu became the first approved enterprise, and its autonomous driving travel service platform Radish Run officially opened the unmanned autonomous driving travel service, which means that the "unmanned behind the steering wheel" automatic driving service is officially released in China's megacities.
According to the "Implementation Rules for the Administration of Unmanned Road Testing and Demonstration Applications for Passenger Cars in the Pilot Zone of The Beijing Intelligent Connected Vehicle Policy", the demonstration application subjects who have obtained the notice can carry out unmanned autonomous driving manned 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.
In accordance with the requirements of the Detailed Implementing Rules, Baidu carried out unmanned manned demonstration applications, and the first batch of 10 unmanned vehicles were invested, and the follow-up plan was to increase 30 unmanned vehicles.
In terms of safety, Baidu said that Baidu will actively meet the technical challenges of Beijing's complex road scenes, and ensure passengers' travel safety and riding 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 reported that Radish Run has realized autonomous driving manned travel services in megacities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. 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.
