When it comes to self-driving technology, Tesla will definitely come to mind.
As one of the most mature car companies in the world in terms of autonomous driving technology, Tesla has been continuously developing autonomous driving technology and has made certain achievements.
With the continuous development of technology, autonomous driving technology has evolved to the point where it can be completely unmanned, which is a new revolution for the entire automotive industry.
Tesla's self-driving technology has been widely used and has become the object of learning for other car companies, and if you want to make a breakthrough in this field, you must make certain innovations on the basis of Tesla.
Not only that, Tesla's self-driving technology has also received the attention of various governments, although at the beginning, many countries are not too optimistic about self-driving technology, feel that it has great safety risks, but with the continuous progress of science and technology, the current self-driving technology can ensure relatively safe driving, and it can also be a good way to alleviate traffic congestion.
As a result, more and more countries are beginning to allow the testing and application of autonomous driving technology, which also brings certain opportunities to Tesla.
Tesla's goal has always been to comprehensively promote autonomous driving technology and make it a mainstream way for people to travel, and China, as one of the world's largest car consumer markets, is of great significance to Tesla.
However, in the Chinese market, Tesla has not been as smooth as imagined, although its self-driving technology has been relatively mature, but for some reasons, Tesla has been subject to certain restrictions, and even banned.
However, in this month, Tesla seems to have ushered in some improvements, and the relevant departments in China issued a notice, saying that some of Tesla's models have passed the relevant safety tests, which means that Tesla is expected to lift the ban, and its self-driving technology is also expected to land in China, which is definitely good news for Tesla.
1. Tesla's self-driving technology is banned
Tesla is an automobile company from the United States, it is known for the production of electric vehicles, and it is also at the forefront of the world in autonomous driving technology, it can be said that it has one of the most mature automatic driving technology car companies, its automatic driving technology can achieve automatic driving from high speed to overtaking, and then to parking.
In the Chinese market, Tesla has also achieved certain success, its models have been selling very well in China, and have been loved by many car owners, especially some high-end Tesla models, which have become many people's dream luxury cars.
Not only that, in the development of new energy vehicles, Tesla has also set a good example for other car companies, its electric vehicles not only have a long range, but also fast charging speed, which makes more and more people begin to accept and like electric vehicles.
However, despite Tesla's success in the Chinese market, its self-driving technology has been somewhat limited, and in many parts of the country, Tesla vehicles have even been banned from driving on the road.
One of the main reasons is that China's regulatory authorities have certain concerns about some of Tesla's functions, for example, there is a function called "unattended" on Tesla cars, even if the owner is not in the car, it can automatically take photos and upload them to the cloud.
Such a function is considered by many to be a "spy" function that violates privacy, and there are still some controversies about Tesla's self-driving technology, such as whether there will be miscalculations, and who should bear the responsibility if there is an accident, etc., which has caused some pressure on the regulatory authorities.
As a result, Tesla was banned from driving on the road last year, and some owners had their vehicles restricted by remote "software", causing them to not be able to drive normally.
This is undoubtedly a very big blow to Tesla, and it has also affected its development in the Chinese market to a certain extent.
However, Tesla is not discouraged, but is actively communicating with domestic regulators to find a solution, and this time its efforts seem to have achieved some results.
Second, Tesla is expected to lift the ban and land in China
Not long after Tesla was banned, Musk came to China and communicated with some domestic departments, which also made the outside world speculate that Tesla is expected to lift the ban, and its self-driving technology is also expected to land in China.
In fact, Musk's purpose in coming to China is to fight for the lifting of the ban on Tesla and let its self-driving technology land in China, but this is not a "white prostitute", Tesla wants to land self-driving technology in China, it must meet some domestic conditions, and the most important point is the data problem.
Autonomous driving technology is inseparable from a large amount of road data, and this data must be combined with actual road conditions to enable autonomous driving technology to make correct judgments.
At present, Tesla's data centers are all in the United States, and China does not allow Tesla to use American data centers to study China's data, because China must be very cautious when it comes to national privacy and security issues.
Therefore, in order to implement self-driving technology in China, Tesla must establish a data center in China, and all data must be stored in China, so that China can monitor and verify.
Of course, for Tesla, if it can build a data center in China, it is also a very good opportunity for it to use this data to better improve its self-driving technology and meet the relevant requirements of China.
Not only that, after the data problem is solved, Tesla's self-driving technology has many other problems to overcome, such as technical adaptation, China's road conditions and traffic conditions are different from other countries, which requires Tesla's autonomous driving technology to be able to drive normally in China, and also to ensure a certain degree of safety.
In addition, during the period when Tesla's self-driving technology was banned, other domestic car companies were not idle, they are also actively researching self-driving technology, and have made some progress, for Tesla, it does have a certain competitive pressure, if you want to make a difference in the Chinese market, you must find your own competitive advantage.
The current automobile industry has entered a new era, and the future of automobiles will definitely develop in the direction of intelligence, electrification and networking, and autonomous driving technology, as a new upgrade experience, will be loved and sought after by more and more people.
Tesla's self-driving technology is undoubtedly the most mature and advanced at present, and it can serve as an example for other car companies to learn from and promote the development of the entire industry.
I believe that with Tesla's efforts, its self-driving technology will be lifted and successfully landed in China, and when the time comes, we can truly feel the convenience and surprise brought by self-driving technology to our travel.
