The ideal is on the hot search again. This time, it was not the founder Li Xiang who said anything thunderous, but because the ideal intelligent algorithm was not intelligent enough......
A brief review of how things happened. Ms. Li in Xiangyang, Hubei Province bought an ideal L9 Pro for 409,800 yuan in April, and soon after picking up the car, she turned on the ideal NOA intelligent driving assistance at high speed, but the vehicle triggered emergency braking when she encountered a billboard, causing the rear car to collide.
The owner questioned that the Ideal L9 took the Dongfeng Yufeng pickup truck on the billboard as a real car. The traffic police determined that the owner of the car was fully responsible, and afterwards Ms. Li demanded compensation of 20,000 yuan for the loss, while the ideal party expressed its willingness to compensate 4,000 yuan worth of points, which the owner could not accept.
As soon as the incident came out, it caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Some netizens called this "the defect and curse of visual intelligent driving", "driving is not a good thing, and I always feel that I have not stepped on the accelerator steadily".
Some netizens ridiculed, "Ideal legal counsel began to find relevant people on the billboard to change." "In the future, these advertisements will be dismantled, it will be too dangerous."
Of course, some netizens questioned the distraction of the car owner after seeing the dashcam video. Behind the billboard is the Hui entrance, the vehicle braked before driving to the Hui entrance, the owner did not take over at the Hui entrance, NOA detected that the unmanned supervision system protected and automatically stopped.
Regarding this incident, the relevant person in charge of Li Auto said that the cause of the accident was that the picture was misidentified as a real car, and there was a certain recognition error in the auxiliary driving system.
This explanation can be regarded as ideal, and it is an indirect admission that the cause of the accident was an error in the judgment of the algorithm. For owners who have just picked up a new car, this luck is indeed a bit back. As for whether the owner of the car was distracted at the time of the incident, there is no definite statement.
Turning on intelligent assisted driving at high speeds can alleviate driving fatigue to a certain extent, and over-reliance is not a good thing. In addition, this is not the first time that similar algorithms have identified error events.
In May 2023, a car owner's ideal L7 recognized Su Bingtian's billboard as a real person during driving, and was rear-ended by the rear car after emergency braking;
In March 2023, when an ideal L9 owner was worshipping his ancestors in the cemetery, he found that the radar in the car showed that there were figures around the vehicle, but in fact there were no pedestrians outside the car. It's a little creepy to think about;
In January 2023, an ideal car owner in Shanghai said that when driving on a rainy night, the central control screen showed that someone was running behind the car to chase the car.
For the above incidents, the ideal response is nothing more than "signal problem recognition algorithm error" and "vehicle visual perception algorithm defect".
The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very weird. More than a year has passed, and the ideal new cars have been released one after another, but there have been no fewer ghost incidents. At present, billboards have been set up and placed on most highways in the country, and this time the car advertisement was not recognized, will the spokesperson and house not be identified next time?
It stands to reason that in such a long time span, the intelligent driving of car companies should be more perfect, why do similar accidents occur? Ideally, should there be a rational explanation to dispel public doubts, rather than a perfunctory statement. But looking back, have car companies fulfilled their obligations to truly publicize in this regard?
Take the ideal L9 Pro car as an example, this car is equipped with the AD Pro intelligent driving system, which uses cameras, millimeter-wave radar and ultrasonic radar to achieve intelligent driving assistance functions, and is not equipped with lidar. And the high-end models are equipped with lidar.
The correlation analysis points out that among the sensors, millimeter-wave radar is not good at identifying static objects, and the camera is greatly affected by the external environment. Therefore, millimeter-wave radar does have misjudgments when performing object recognition.
In the relevant publicity, the ideal only emphasizes that the camera and millimeter-wave radar can perceive in an all-round way, and does not popularize the safety hazards in place. Advocacy also needs to be strengthened.
When the 2024 Ideal L9 was launched, it became a sensation due to price cuts. The reason is the result of the cancellation of the LiDAR reduction. It's understandable that lowering the barrier to entry will attract more target users. However, lidar has a wider detection range and higher detection accuracy, which is better than millimeter-wave radar.
This is equivalent to the ideal to make a concession on price, but the reduction also sacrifices some safety. If you want to buy a LiDAR model, the owner has to add money. I have to say that the ideal step by step is more accurate than lidar.
The ideal L9 billboard incident is still fermenting, and it is not difficult to see through this incident that there are still many technical problems to be solved when intelligent driving vehicles are driving. The so-called intelligent driving is basically still in the auxiliary stage, although it can autonomously complete functions such as changing lanes, going up and down ramps, and avoiding obstacles, but the technology is not yet mature.
Car owners should not rely too much on intelligent assisted driving, otherwise the responsibility will be borne by themselves. For frequent ghost incidents, it is also necessary for manufacturers to be aware of the lack of publicity and technical level, and make timely solutions. Finally, what are your thoughts on the ideal driver assistance function?
