Chengdu's first 12 driverless cars road test

Chengdu, the first 12 driverless cars road test

Chengdu, the first 12 driverless cars road test, in the future, Baidu Intelligent Transportation will also be in Chengdu to develop driverless cabs, the public can play through the taxi software to these driverless cabs. Chengdu's first 12 driverless cars road test.

The first 12 driverless cars in Chengdu were tested on the road.1

Recently, the Chengdu Public Security and Traffic Bureau officially issued the first road test vehicle license plate in Chengdu to Apollo Intelligent Transportation Information Technology (Chengdu) Co.

The situation on the public **** road is not set in stone, in order to make the use more assured, in accordance with the provisions of the first batch of 12 intelligent Internet-connected vehicles will be in the designated public **** road for driverless testing.

The 12 smart internet-connected cars are eight minivans and four buses, which have been tested in Chengdu's Xinchuan Innovation Science and Technology Park, in an area stretching from Jilong Road in the north to the Guangdu subway station in the south, from Yahe North Second Road in the west to Jinhan Road in the east. Staff will do a good job of collecting data for further optimization of the vehicle system.

To ensure safety during traveling, these self-driving vehicles are developed based on Baidu Apollo self-driving platform, applying the latest Apollo's technology. The self-driving vehicles perceive road information through various sensing devices such as radar and cameras on the body, and then transmit the information to the Intelligence Center, which is calculated by the AI to give the vehicle the correct command operation.

At present, Apollo's test fleet size has reached the 500-vehicle level, the number of patents obtained is 2900, the test mileage totals more than 7 million kilometers, and the cumulative number of test mileage of L4-level autonomous driving has exceeded 10 million kilometers. This is the only Chinese company in the world that has realized the accumulation of 10 million kilometers of road testing. The technology is relatively mature. But it still needs more road samples for the AI to learn how to drive vehicles in the area.

In addition to the vehicle itself, the road has also been transformed,*** installing all kinds of roadside equipment more than 500, which contains more LIDAR, RSCU (Road Side Computing Unit), RSU (Road Side Wireless Transmission Unit), high-definition cameras and so on. These can help self-driving vehicles to understand the traffic situation at intersections in advance, providing higher driving safety for self-driving vehicles.

If the test goes well, these driverless buses are expected to be officially put into operation during the Universiade.

And not only in the driverless buses, in the future, Baidu Intelligent Transportation will also develop driverless cabs in Chengdu, and the public can call these driverless cabs through taxi software.

Previously, Baidu has launched the Robotaxi program for urban open road, which is the first driverless solution for passenger cars to provide travel services on the open road. And Robotaxi has been in Changsha, Cangzhou, Beijing fully open test ride service, to fulfill the promise of Baidu to let the driverless cab to run on the street, but also incidentally the realization of a complete industrial chain from the scale of the test, to the front production line, and then to the landing of the complete industrial chain of operation.

In addition to self-driving cabs, also launched a self-driving travel service platform - "radish fast run" (Robocop), do **** enjoy the car, and has begun to officially operate in some cities. According to Baidu's financial report, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the number of orders for carriers of radish fast running was about 213,000 orders, nearly doubled from the previous year.

Now Chengdu has also begun to move towards the era of smart cars, and with the development of technology, driverless has come into more people's lives.

Chengdu's first 12 driverless cars on the road test2

According to the Chengdu release, recently, Chengdu's first batch of intelligent networked cars road test vehicle driving license plate officially issued, in accordance with the provisions of the first 12 intelligent networked cars will be in Chengdu City, the designated public **** road to carry out unmanned testing.

Recently, a row of small cars and buses labeled with the words "self-driving test" are undergoing debugging before the road test in the nearby roads of Chengdu Xinchuan Innovation Science and Technology Park. According to the person in charge of the project site, during the test, staff will follow the vehicle to do a good job of data collection, and further optimization of the vehicle system. It is expected that during the Chengdu Universiade, driverless buses will be officially on-line operation, and driverless cabs will also run in the region in the near future.

It is understood that the vehicles involved in the road test **** there are 12, of which 8 cars, 4 buses, will be in the north to Jilong Road, south to Guangdu Metro Station, west to Yahe North Second Road, east to the area of Jinhan Road to carry out road testing.

According to Baidu, the self-driving vehicles used in the test are based on Baidu's Apollo self-driving platform development, applying the latest Apollo technology. Although the technology has been relatively more mature, but in order to ensure safety, at the same time to make driverless vehicles more intelligent and safer, still need to train the algorithm with the road samples, and constantly let the artificial intelligence to learn how to drive the vehicle in the region.

In fact, the self-driving vehicle itself is equipped with a very large number of sensors, such as LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, cameras, etc. Through the fusion of multiple sensors perception algorithms, it is able to accurately access the environment around the vehicle, so as to tell the vehicle what operations it should perform.

In addition, the entire test section has also carried out intelligent transformation, and has already transformed 35 intersections in the test section, *** installing all kinds of roadside equipment more than 500, which includes LiDAR, RSCU (Road Side Computing Unit), RSU (Road Side Wireless Transmission Unit), high-definition cameras, etc.

According to Chengdu Chengdu, the roadside equipment has been installed on the roadside of the vehicle.

According to the person in charge of intelligent driving at Chengdu 5G Intelligent City, Chengdu Hi-tech Zone Electronic Information Industry Development Co.

Not only driverless buses, in the future, in the new Chuan area people may also be able to hit the driverless cab.

The first 12 driverless cars in Chengdu were tested on the road.3

A few days ago, Chengdu City officially issued the first 12 driverless license plates to Chengdu Hi-tech Zone, which means that these intelligent Internet-connected cars can legally go on the road. At present, the first four buses and eight cabs have been driverless testing on the intelligent transformation road of Xinchuan Innovation and Technology Park in Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone, marking the ushering in of the era of smart internet-connected cars in Chengdu.
