The development of autonomous driving technology is unstoppable. Recently, the relevant departments of China have issued relevant notices, marking that the domestic L3 level of autonomous driving has entered the test stage. This news has aroused great interest among car companies, and they have applied for L3 autonomous driving licenses. After review, a total of 6 car companies have obtained L3 autonomous driving licenses. BMW is the first company to announce a license to test their 5 Series models in a designated area under the guidance of the company. In addition to BMW, Zhiji, Mercedes-Benz, AVATAR, Deep Blue and Jihu have also obtained test licenses. The test models of Mercedes-Benz and Zhiji have not yet been announced, while the other four automakers have tested the BMW 5 Series, AVATR 11, Navy SL03 and ARCFOX Alpha S Advance Edition.
It is not difficult to find that two of them (AVATR and ARCFOX) have chosen Huawei's ADS20 technology. This has once again won Huawei in the field of autonomous driving. Both models are equipped with Huawei ADS20 high-end intelligent driving system, and uses Huawei's MDC810 computing power platform, as well as 3 lidars, 6 millimeter-wave radars, 13 high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars, realizing the application of multi-sensor fusion technology. Huawei's ADS20 technology has been continuously improved and upgraded to reach the standard of L3 level. Compared with Level 2 assisted driving, Level 3 autonomous driving is autonomous under certain conditions, allowing the driver to leave the steering wheel for a certain period of time and even perform other activities, such as swiping the mobile phone. Of course, the current traffic laws and laws on autonomous driving need to be further improved, involving a series of issues, such as the driver's use of mobile phones in the state of autonomous driving, the attribution of responsibility, and so on.
However, Level 3 autonomous driving still needs to pass the testing stage and further improve the technology and regulations before it can be truly commercialized. Still, there is reason to believe that day is not too far away. Next, these car companies will actively demonstrate their technical strength, accelerate the implementation of L3 level technology, and realize the liberation of drivers' hands.
Driven by autonomous driving technology, the automotive industry is undergoing a massive transformation. On the one hand, autonomous driving technology will provide drivers with a more convenient and safe driving experience, improving driving efficiency and safety. On the other hand, the commercialization of autonomous driving technology will also drive the development of the entire industry chain, including sensors, communications, algorithms and other links. In addition, the development of autonomous driving technology will also promote the construction of intelligent transportation and smart cities, improve traffic congestion and environmental pollution, and bring more possibilities for people's travel.
However, we should also be aware of the challenges and problems faced by autonomous driving technology. The first is the technical challenge, including the accuracy of the sensor, the reliability of the algorithm, etc. The second is the issue of safety and privacy, and the commercialization of autonomous driving technology must ensure the safety of vehicles and passengers, and strictly protect the privacy of personal information. In addition, there is the issue of the development of regulations and standards, which requires the joint efforts of the state and industry to develop policies and standards that adapt to the development of autonomous driving technology. Finally, there is also the need to address issues of coexistence with conventional driving traffic, such as how to handle the interaction between autonomous vehicles and manually driven vehicles.
While facing these challenges, all parties in the industry should actively cooperate to jointly promote the development of autonomous driving technology. **It is necessary to increase support for autonomous driving technology, provide relevant policies, funds and R&D environment, and create good development opportunities for enterprises. Car companies should strengthen technology research and development and innovation capabilities to promote the commercial application of autonomous driving technology. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation with leading businessmen and research institutions to form a joint force for technological innovation. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation, jointly promote the development of autonomous driving technology with other countries and regions, and promote cooperation and exchanges in the global autonomous driving industry.
To sum up, the issuance of L3 autonomous driving licenses marks the further development of domestic autonomous driving technology. Huawei as ADS20 providers have become the big winners of this autonomous driving license application. However, the development of autonomous driving technology also requires the joint efforts of all parties to solve problems such as technology, safety, and regulations, and promote the implementation and commercialization of technology. It is believed that through joint efforts, autonomous driving technology will bring more convenience and safety to people's travel and bring new development opportunities to the automotive industry.
