Ahead of Huawei, Tesla has fully mastered self-driving technologyThe introduction of national standards has become a breakthrough point.
As mentioned in the article, autonomous driving technology is subdivided into six levels, L0 to L5, of which L0 is completely controlled by humans, while L1 to L2 belong to the scope of assisted automatic driving, and the vehicle can perform basic operations according to road conditions, but the driver needs to be ready to take over at any time. However, L3 to L5 are still in the theoretical stage, and no car company can realize it, including Huawei. So why is it so difficult to achieve Level 3 autonomous driving systems?According to Observer, there are two main reasons: changes in road conditions and restrictions imposed by relevant regulations.
First of all, the uncertainty of road conditions is one of the biggest challenges facing autonomous driving technology. Unstable factors such as pedestrians and battery cars pose huge problems to the autonomous driving system. If these problems cannot be solved, there will be no way to talk about full autonomous driving. In a complex road environment, vehicles need to identify and respond to various emergencies in a timely manner to ensure driving safety. For car companies, how to maintain the stability and accuracy of the system in changing road conditions is a huge challenge.
Second, the relevant regulations set strict restrictions on the introduction of autonomous driving functions above Level 3 by car companies. The state clearly stipulates that if the vehicle is involved in a traffic accident while using the L3 and above autonomous driving function, the car company will be liable. This means that as long as the car owner does not force the intervention, the responsibility for the accident will be borne by the car company. This regulation makes car companies afraid to aggressively launch autonomous driving services above the L3 level, resulting in them can only improve at the L2 level. The strictness of regulatory rules has forced automakers to face up to the limitations of autonomous driving technology and continue to innovate and improve.
However, with the gradual clarification of regulatory rules, the emergence of autonomous driving technology above L3 is inevitable. Tesla, as the world's leading electric vehicle company, has promoted its full self-driving function (FSD) abroad. According to user feedback, FSD performs very well on complex urban roads, and can achieve almost full autonomous driving. At the same time, Huawei's current assisted autonomous driving function (ADS20) is already close to the L3 level, and it can be seen from the test** that Huawei's autonomous driving technology works well in complex urban and rural roads, with little to no driver intervention. If Huawei can further improve its autonomous driving technology, the introduction of Level 3 autonomous driving functions will be just around the corner.
To sum up, L3 and above autonomous driving technology will definitely become the threshold of new energy vehicles in the future. Those so-called new energy vehicle companies that only focus on the interior and appearance of the car are destined to be eliminated in terms of technology. In the future, the new energy vehicle market will become a stage for "hard-core technology players", and only enterprises with leading technology can be invincible in the fierce competition.
I have my own thoughts and opinions on this topic. With the continuous progress of science and technology and technological breakthroughs, autonomous driving technology will become an important development direction of the automotive industry in the future. Despite the current challenges, I am confident that autonomous driving technology will gradually improve and make breakthroughs over time. As consumers, we also need to pay attention to and support companies that are innovating and developing in the field of autonomous driving technology to contribute to the realization of a safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly future of transportation.
