Recently, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business, has attracted widespread attention for his remarks in the field of intelligent driving. He was fined for the phrase "L3 autonomous driving is a hooligan", which not only exposed the complex relationship between AI technology and traffic rules in the field of intelligent driving, but also triggered the public's deep thinking about the application of AI technology in the field of transportation.
As an important application field of AI technology, the goal of intelligent driving is to enable vehicles to autonomously perceive, make decisions, and execute, thereby improving road safety, reducing traffic congestion, and improving travel efficiency. However, in this process, there is often a considerable conflict between the decision-making logic of AI technology and the existing traffic rules.
AI technology is based on a large amount of data and algorithms for learning and decision-making, and its decision-making logic often pursues the optimal solution rather than following fixed rules. In intelligent driving, AI systems need to make decisions based on real-time perception of road information, vehicle status, pedestrian dynamics, etc., which in many cases do not have ready-made rules to refer to. Traffic rules, on the other hand, are based on human experience and safety considerations, emphasizing a universally applicable standard.
Therefore, when the decision-making logic of AI technology conflicts with traffic rules, how to balance the relationship between the two becomes a difficult problem. On the one hand, we can't simply make the AI system follow all the traffic rules, because that would limit its maximum effectiveness. On the other hand, we can't completely let AI systems make decisions freely, because this may pose security risks.
Yu Chengdong's remarks actually reflect this contradiction. He believes that Level 3 autonomous driving cannot fully follow the traffic rules in many cases, so he calls it a "hooligan". This actually points out that there are still great limitations and challenges in the application of AI technology in intelligent driving.
To solve this problem, we need to start from a number of aspects. First of all, technology developers need to continuously improve the decision-making capabilities and safety of AI systems, so that they can achieve optimal driving results while complying with traffic rules. Second, regulators and regulators also need to develop better regulations and standards to clarify the scope and limitations of AI technology in the transportation sector. In addition, the public also needs to enhance their awareness and understanding of intelligent driving technology, and face this emerging technology in a more rational and inclusive manner.
Although Yu Chengdong's "fined" incident is a small episode, it reveals the deep-seated contradiction between AI technology and traffic rules in the field of intelligent driving. With the continuous development and popularization of AI technology, this contradiction will become more prominent and complex. Therefore, we need to start from multiple levels to jointly solve this problem in order to achieve a harmonious coexistence of AI technology and traffic rules.
In short, as an important application field of AI technology, intelligent driving has broad prospects but is also full of challenges. We need to face this technology with an open, inclusive and rational attitude, and at the same time strengthen technology research and development, regulation formulation and public education to promote the healthy development of intelligent driving technology.
