He Xiaopeng's questioning of Huawei's AEB technology has sparked controversy.
Recently, He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xpeng Motors, questioned Huawei's AEB technology, saying that it was 99% fake, which caused widespread controversy. However, AEB technology is not something that can be decided by a single company, but is the result of the joint efforts of multiple companies. This technology is like the braking system of a car, and only those who can really use it can guarantee the safety of driving.
In reality, some companies ridicule AEB technology without realizing that there is a problem with their braking system. It's ridiculous to think that some people who can't drive laugh at others for their poor driving skills. Domestic companies are deficient in learning from the experience of Xi other companies, and sometimes even belittle the achievements of others, which is the current situation.
However, if unmanned driving technology does appear in the future, the automatic emergency braking function of AEB may be basically obsolete.
The advent of autonomous driving technology will completely change the landscape of the automotive industry, and AEB technology may only be a transitional function in autonomous driving. This also explains why Xpeng's attitude towards AEB technology is mostly critical, after all, as an automaker, he is more concerned about the development of cutting-edge technologies in the future.
The importance and development status of AEB technology.
Regardless of whether He Xiaopeng doubts AEB technology or not, we cannot deny the importance of AEB technology to automotive safety.
AEB, or Automatic Emergency Braking System, is a technology that uses sensors such as radar and cameras to achieve emergency braking of vehicles. It can detect obstacles in front of it in time and automatically apply emergency braking to effectively avoid collisions.
AEB technology is now standard for many car manufacturers, especially in high-end models. Some vehicles have even upgraded this technology to integrate with other auxiliary functions such as reversing camera and blind spot monitoring.
The development of AEB technology has also been supported and promoted, and many countries and regions have given tax breaks and incentives to vehicles equipped with AEB technology to encourage vehicle manufacturers to popularize this technology.
However, while much progress has been made in AEB technology, some challenges remain. First of all, there are differences in AEB technology from different manufacturers, which leads to compatibility issues in practical use.
Second, AEB technology sometimes has misjudgments and misfunctions, which require continuous optimization and improvement. In addition, there is no unified AEB technology test standard, which brings certain difficulties to the evaluation and comparison of related technologies.
In response to these problems, various manufacturers and experts in related fields have been working hard. At present, there are already a number of organizations around the world that are committed to promoting the development and standardization of AEB technology, such as the European New Car Evaluation Program (Euro NCAP) and the China Automotive Technology and Research Center.
They have further improved the level of AEB technology by developing a number of standards and test procedures to ensure the efficient operation and reliability of AEB technology.
The impact of autonomous driving technology on AEB.
The emergence of driverless technology will have a certain impact on AEB technology, and may even make it gradually obsolete. Autonomous driving technology relies on sensors such as high-precision maps, lidars, and cameras to drive vehicles autonomously, as well as automatic emergency braking.
Therefore, in the future, it is likely that vehicles will no longer need a stand-alone emergency braking system such as AEB technology.
However, autonomous driving technology is still in its early stages, and there is still a certain distance from practical application. AEB technology still plays an important role in this transition period. It provides the driver with a reliable safety guarantee, reduces the risk of collisions and protects the driver. Whether it is human driving or autonomous driving, AEB technology is needed to achieve a safer driving environment.
Moreover, even if truly driverless transportation is realized in the future, the development of AEB technology cannot be ignored. Although the driverless technology has the ability to automatically emergency braking, the independence and efficiency of AEB technology are still worth retaining. Whether it's due to sensor failure or other unexpected conditions, when an unexpected situation occurs, independent AEB technology can quickly and accurately judge and brake to ensure driving safety.
Therefore, although autonomous driving technology has had a certain impact on AEB technology, the development of AEB technology is still of great significance. It is one of the important guarantees in the field of automotive safety at this stage and is also part of the future development.
Conclusion: As an automatic emergency braking system, AEB technology plays an important role in ensuring driving safety. No matter how He Xiaopeng doubts, the importance of AEB technology cannot be ignored.
While autonomous driving technology may be possible in the future, AEB technology is still crucial as it provides safety for drivers today and will also play an important role in future developments.
However, we should also be aware of some of the current problems and challenges of AEB technology. Technical differences, misjudgments and malfunctions, as well as the lack of unified testing standards from different manufacturers, require our continuous attention and efforts to solve.
