Qilunet Lightning News on June 9 On June 9, Lightning News and many media across the country walked into Baidu Apollo Park in Beijing Yizhuang to experience the rapid development of autonomous driving technology and intelligent transportation system.
The reporters visited the booth of Baidu Apollo's previous models, the vehicle calibration laboratory, and the Radish Run Operation Command Center, and immersed themselves in how cloud security officers help unmanned vehicles cope with extremely complex scenarios. Through the professional explanations and test drives of Baidu staff, media observers gained a deep understanding of the history and technological evolution of Baidu's autonomous driving, the changes and R&D breakthroughs of Apollo's previous models, and the technical strength of Baidu's world-leading artificial intelligence.
Baidu is the only Chinese company among the world's four autonomous driving leaders, and Radish Kuairun is the world's largest provider of autonomous driving mobility services. In August 2022, Chongqing and Wuhan took the lead in releasing pilot policies for the commercialization of fully unmanned autonomous driving, and issued the first batch of unmanned demonstration operation qualifications to Baidu in China. On March 17, 2023, following Wuhan and Chongqing, Radish Express was approved to start fully unmanned autonomous driving travel services in Beijing, becoming the first fully unmanned fleet in the world to land in the capital city.
It is reported that Baidu Apollo self-driving car has iterated six models. In this event, the reporter experienced riding the fifth-generation model Beiqi Extreme Fox. Open the Radish Run app, place an order, wait, then the vehicle arrives at the designated pickup location, enters the verification code and gets on the bus, and the rear passengers click to confirm the trip according to the voice prompts of the tablet in front of them, and the vehicle will start automatically. During the driving process, Apollo follows the surrounding vehicle conditions, smoothly accelerates, brakes, changes lanes, and when encountering red lights on the road, it will slow down in advance and stop accurately. Passengers can see real-time traffic conditions through the on-board screen. The whole driving process is safe and smooth, and the safety officer sitting in the main driver has not started the manual takeover.
In addition to Baidu Smart Car, Baidu also has the world's largest Chinese search engine, serving 1 billion Internet users, and launched Baidu Feijiao, the first self-developed industrial-level deep learning open source open source platform in China, the world's first knowledge enhancement 100 billion model Wenxin large model, AI Cloud ranked first in China's market share for five consecutive times. On March 16, Baidu released a new generation of knowledge-enhanced big language models. It is reported that as of early May, Wen Xin Yiyan has carried out internal testing with more than 300 ecological partners, and achieved test results in more than 400 internal scenarios.
In this exchange event, media reporters and Baidu had an in-depth discussion on Wen Xin's words to empower media integration and innovative communication. Some media said that they have tried to use Wen Xin to carry out content creation in some node planning and achieved better product results. At the same time, some media proposed that "Wen Xin Yiyan should carry out deeper exploration and practice with the media in content security, technology integration and business operations, so as to activate the advantageous value of media and platforms and release technical efficiency." ”
As a leading AI company with a strong Internet foundation, Baidu has maintained the first place in the R&D intensity of China's top 500 private enterprises for many years, and Baidu ranks first in China in terms of the number of artificial intelligence patent applications and authorizations, and has ranked first for five consecutive years.
Baidu is "using technology to make the complex world simpler" step by step.
