Zhang Kai: 2022 is a watershed year for the commercialization of autonomous driving

　　Zhongxin Jingwei, September 28 (Wu Xiaowei) Ai artificial intelligence technology has penetrated into all aspects of life today, and smart homes, smart communities, and automatic driving have gradually become a reality. Among them, AI autonomous driving is the product of the deep integration of the automotive industry with a new generation of information technology such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and high-performance computing. It is the main direction of the current intelligent and networked development in the field of global automobile and transportation travel.

　　In the view of Zhang Kai, chairman of Zhixing, the market has never lacked or radical or conservative forecasting agencies for the next 5 years of automatic driving, of which CICC forecast is relatively conservative, believing that by 2025, the penetration rate of high-level automatic driving is greater than 43%. But there are also relatively aggressive predictions, Guosheng Securities believes that by 2025, the penetration rate of high-level autonomous driving will exceed 80%.

　　At the third brand day of TheLmed Wisdom Bank, Zhang Kai deduced that in 2022, the Company will undertake the development task of high-level assisted driving of the 34 models to be listed on the great wall motor, accounting for nearly 80% of the models to be listed by Great Wall Motors throughout the year, of which 30% are standard and the rest are equipped with high equipment.

　　In this way, it is inferred that the penetration rate of High-level Assisted Autonomous Driving of Great Wall Motors will exceed 40% in 2022. Take into account factors such as the upgrading of consumption in subsequent years and the reduction of costs. I think it is very likely that the market penetration rate of high-level assisted autonomous driving will reach 80% by 2025. Zhang Kai said.

　　Zhang Kai pointed out that 2022 will be a watershed year for the commercialization of AI autonomous driving. For startups in the track of autonomous driving, in 2022, we must form our own relatively stable business model, and we can deepen this field under the premise of ensuring that the business model has broad prospects. Because the pace of car driving towards intelligence is unstoppable. With the blessing of AI technology, the development of automobile intelligence is gradually accelerating, and it can be said that high-level automatic driving is already on the eve of large-scale mass production.

　　From the perspective of the synergy between Miller Zhixing and Great Wall Motors, Zhang Kai proposed that it is expected that by the end of 2022, the assisted driving system of Miller Zhixing will land on more than 30 models of Great Wall Motors, and it is expected that the total number of passenger cars equipped with Assisted Autonomous Driving will exceed 1 million units in the next three years, thus forming an effective scale advantage.

　　In terms of technology, Gu Weihao, CEO of Miller Zhixing, introduced that Great Wall Motors and Millima Zhixing jointly launched the world's highest-capacity mass-produced autonomous driving computing platform ICU3.0 (that is, Millima Zhixing "Little Magic Box 3.0"), the platform single board computing power reached 360TOPS, which can be continuously upgraded to 1440TOPS, and all algorithms are full-stack self-developed by Millima Zhixing.

　　"In 2022, Great Wall Motors equipped with Little Magic Box 3.0 will be the most leading product in the Chinese market in terms of perception ability, and will also cover urban commuting scenarios to help car owners drive safer and more securely." It is estimated that by the middle of 2022, Zhixing is expected to become the largest autonomous driving computing platform in China. Gu Weihao said.

　　In addition, Wang Tianpei, director of autonomous driving engineering of passenger cars at The End of the Century, also released the automatic assisted navigation driving NOH function, Wang Tianpei introduced, this system is similar to the current Tesla and Xiaopeng NOA and NGP, can assist drivers to automatically import and export, high-speed transfer. The feature will be launched on the Great Wall Mocha at the end of October.

　　It is reported that at the end of the year, Zhixing completed hundreds of millions of yuan of Pre-A round financing, and this year's revenue achieved more than 100 million yuan of revenue. Great Wall Motor, Shougang Fund, Meituan and Hillhouse are all shareholders. (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)
