Recently, Beijing issued a notice of unmanned manned demonstration application, and Baidu's 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 opened for the first time in China's megacities.
The reporter learned that 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 last year, the number of orders for turnip fast running manned people has reached 213,000. However, in the past unmanned autonomous driving service, although it did not require personnel to manually control the car, it was still necessary to have a safety officer sitting in the driver's seat to ensure travel safety. Beijing took the lead in trying "unmanned behind the steering wheel" automatic driving, if the demonstration is successful, "main driver unmanned" or will become the mainstream of future commercialization of automatic driving.
At present, Radish Run has invested 10 unmanned vehicles in the first batch in Beijing, and the follow-up plan is to add 30 unmanned vehicles, using the "mixed dispatch" mode of operation, random dispatch of automatic driving or driverless vehicles, the taxi process is similar to that of ordinary online car-hailing, users book cars through the App, and complete the payment through mobile phones to end the trip after the trip is completed.
According to the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Management of Unmanned Road Testing and Demonstration Applications for Passenger Cars in the Pilot Zone of The Policy for Intelligent and Connected Vehicles in Beijing", the demonstration application subjects that 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.
Shanghai is also actively promoting intelligent connected vehicles from technology research and development to commercial landing, and the four major autonomous driving test areas are misplaced and complementary - "L3+ Highly Autonomous Driving Innovation Demonstration Zone" in Jiading District, "Future Transportation New Model Innovation Demonstration Zone" in Lingang New Area, "Full Travel Chain Intelligent Driving Innovation Demonstration Zone" in Fengxian District, "Integrated Transportation Infrastructure Innovation Demonstration Zone" in Pudong New Area, and Shanghai has innovatively laid out "all models, full travel chain, full risk categories, full test links and integrated new infrastructure infrastructure" in China. Four-all-one fusion"intelligent networked vehicle test scenario.
During the current round of epidemics, unmanned vehicles have also become an important force in the frontline of prevention and control by expanding application scenarios. Anting Town, Jiading District, has a large area and many community points, and the mobile transfer of volunteers and the transportation of daily necessities are facing many problems.
Baidu quickly set up an "unmanned volunteer team" among the employees of the non-sealed control community, dispatched 13 turnip fast running autonomous vehicles, and equipped with 15 safety officer volunteers to provide emergency vehicles for the prevention and control of the epidemic in Anting, shuttled through commercial buildings, apartments, guest hotels and other points, delivered the support materials needed for the lives of the residents in the sealed control area, and delivered meals to the isolated hotels in three periods in the morning, middle and evening. In addition, the team also assisted in the transfer of medical staff and volunteers from 10 mobile nucleic acid sampling teams, improving the efficiency of the sampling teams and assisting Anting Town in solving the transportation capacity problem.
