On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Huawei executive Yu Chengdong chose a special way to return to Shenzhen from his hometown in Anhui Province - self-driving Huawei Wenjie M9. His trip quickly attracted widespread attention from netizens, and he himself shared his feelings about this special journey in the circle of friends.
Yu Chengdong's self-driving experience shows the capabilities and potential of Huawei's ADS2.0 high-end intelligent driving system. Here's a summary of the experience:
1. Driving distance and time:
From his hometown in Anhui to Shenzhen, the whole journey is 1,314 kilometers.
The driving time is 15 hours.
2. Intelligent driving performance:
The whole process of intelligent driving is normal without manual takeover.
Didn't miss a single intersection.
It is not until the high-speed toll booth that it needs to be taken over manually.
3. Yu Chengdong's feelings:
He felt very relaxed because he didn't need to drive nervously.
He believes that Huawei's ADS2.0 advanced intelligent driving system has achieved a huge breakthrough, and will continue to iterate on the version to improve, improve, and stay ahead.
It is worth mentioning that in Yu Chengdong's intelligent driving process, the system was automatically turned off twice. The first time was because his hands were off the steering wheel for a long time, triggering the safety mechanism of the system, which led to him being banned from using the intelligent driving function for three minutes. Later, he was punished again for some reason, resulting in the intelligent driving function being unusable for the entire trip. Despite this, Yu Chengdong still spoke highly of Huawei's intelligent driving system.
Judging from Yu Chengdong's self-driving experience, Huawei's intelligent driving technology has made significant progress in some aspects. The ability to drive intelligently during a journey of 15 hours and 1,314 kilometers and to complete all driving tasks without errors is an impressive achievement. This also shows that Huawei's investment and R&D in intelligent driving technology have achieved substantial results.
However, the development and advancement of technology is a continuous process, and different manufacturers may also have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of intelligent driving technology. Therefore, there may not be an absolute answer to the question of which manufacturer has the most powerful technology. Different techniques may exhibit different advantages and effects in different scenarios and conditions.
Unmanned driving of automobiles can be said to be the end trend of the industry.
The prospect of the autonomous driving industry looks very enticing, not only as an important use case for AI technology, but also as it has the potential to revolutionize the way we travel, improve road safety, improve traffic efficiency, and perhaps even bring new business models and services. This long-term and ambitious vision will undoubtedly attract a lot of capital investment.
Many netizens think that it is a very ridiculous thing to give their lives to unmanned cars. But let's imagine that the performance of the car at that time was not as good as that of the horse-drawn carriage, and there were various problems. But over time, automotive technology has been improved and refined, eventually revolutionizing the traffic and transportation industry.
The initial stages of any new technology are subject to a variety of doubts and challenges. However, with the passage of time and the continuous advancement of technology, it is possible that these problems can be solved. The same is true for autonomous driving technology, although it is still in the early stages of development, but with the continuous breakthrough of technology and the gradual maturity of the market, it may become the main way of our future mobility.
From the perspective of personal travel scenarios, vehicles are parked most of the time, which causes a waste of resources to some extent. Only when a vehicle is driven on the road and provides people with mobility services can it truly exert its value and create a contribution to society.
That's why new modes of travel, such as shared mobility and autonomous driving, are getting so much attention. These modes enable vehicles to create value for society in more time by improving the efficiency of vehicle use and reducing idle driving time. For example, shared mobility can make a vehicle more efficient by allowing it to be shared among multiple users, while autonomous driving has the potential to revolutionize the way we travel, enabling vehicles to drive autonomously without human intervention, further improving vehicle efficiency and safety.
