China News Service, September 27 (Zhongxin Finance and Economics Ge Cheng) Assisted driving "can give away for free, but not paid", this view has recently caused heated discussions.
There is a lot of debate in the industry about whether the assisted driving function is "chicken", and users are also worried about the safety of assisted driving, but it cannot be ignored that assisted driving is quietly coming to us with the help of the popularity of new energy vehicles.
The penetration rate of new car market with assisted driving function has exceeded 30%
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in the first half of this year, the sales of passenger vehicles with combined driving assistance functions exceeded 2.88 million, and the penetration rate rose to 32.4%, a year-on-year increase of 46.2%.
In the first half of the year, one of the important reasons for the significant increase in the penetration rate of assisted driving functions is that some new forces need to create brand differentiation through intelligent methods such as assisted driving.
Xu Changming, deputy director of the State Information Center, told Zhongxin Finance, "If (new car-making forces) are like traditional cars, they may not be able to become strong competitors."
"Many new power companies make electric vehicles, relying on intelligence as their selling point, and electrification can also promote intelligence. From the perspective of consumers, everyone's acceptance of intelligence is getting higher and higher." According to Xu Changming judged that in the future, models equipped with L2-level assisted driving and smart cockpits will usher in a period of rapid development.
"At present, the scale of China's intelligent networked vehicle market has exceeded 10 million." Wu Zhixin, deputy general manager of China Automotive Technology Research Center Co., Ltd. told China-Singapore Finance that my country has formed a market scale to lead, the technology level is constantly iterating, and product functions are constantly innovating It is a new format for the development of intelligent networked vehicles, and gradually promotes the core industry of intelligent networked vehicles from the cultivation period to the stage of marketization.
The safety of assisted driving technology needs to be improved
"Currently in the early stage of the development of the Internet of Vehicles technology, industry and supply chain, due to the imperfect system, some unexpected accidents and failures have occurred." Yu Chunjun, deputy director of the Traffic Management Science Institute of the Ministry of Public Security, said that with the assisted driving function With the rapid increase in penetration rate, security problems have gradually emerged.
"In recent years, there have been many vicious traffic accidents involving assisted driving that are similar in shape at home and abroad." Yu Chunjun said, "There are two reasons for this. First, manufacturers exaggerate and mislead car owners by describing assisted driving as automatic driving. Second, there are indeed loopholes in the vehicle perception decision-making algorithm.”
"Analysis of the accident shows that under high-speed driving at a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, the ability of video and radar to identify stationary or low-speed vehicles is significantly weakened, and some perceptions are filtered out as 'interference clutter'." Yu Chunjun further analyzed Said that these accidents also reflect from one aspect that the safety of assisted driving needs to be improved at this stage.
According to Shen Hui, founder, chairman and CEO of WM Motor, two basic logics should be followed when it comes to the promotion of assisted driving.
"On the one hand, users should be allowed to clearly distinguish what is assisted driving, what is automatic driving, and what their respective conditions of use are. On the other hand, implementation standards and evaluation standards should be issued for assisted driving, and each function should be truly and accurately implemented. Evaluation. Clearly tell the user how fast autonomous emergency braking can be used, which scenarios are applicable, and which scenarios fail.”

Assisted driving needs to solve legal and regulatory issues
In the eyes of industry insiders, safety issues are not the only reason that hinders the development of assisted driving technology to autonomous driving, and current laws and regulations are not completely "compatible" with assisted (autonomous) driving technology.
"Some provisions of the current laws and regulations are inapplicable to ICVs." Gong Weijie, secretary general of the China ICV Industry Innovation Alliance, told Zhongxin Finance that it used to be a human-driven car. Now, after autonomous driving, the system All traffic scenarios need to be identified.
At present, the most urgent need for assisted (autonomous) driving is to solve a series of regulations and the definition of responsibilities.
According to Zhang Yongwei, vice chairman, secretary general and chief expert of the China Electric Vehicle Association of 100, whichever region can solve the problem of high-level autonomous vehicles on the road as soon as possible, the region is likely to become a technological innovation cluster.
"The development of intelligent vehicles between regions and countries, the speed of institutional competition, and the speed of institutional innovation are likely to affect the speed of competition between countries and regions and industrial development."
In addition to regulations and regulations, it is also very important to establish testing standards for assisted (autonomous) driving as soon as possible.
"At present, there are still certain challenges in the development of assisted (autonomous) driving and the Internet of Vehicles." Yu Chunjun said that on the whole, the road test of autonomous driving has not yet formed a scientific, systematic, comprehensive, and operational safety-oriented application evaluation technology system .
How to provide the fault tolerance rate and robustness of autonomous driving perception (the ability of the system to survive in abnormal and dangerous situations) requires more diverse test scenarios.
"The development of intelligent and connected vehicles will definitely solve the problems of safety and efficiency for transportation, but it will face practical difficulties in the process of promoting the implementation." According to Song Xianghui, deputy director of the ITS Center of the Highway Academy of the Ministry of Transport, autonomous driving is a collection of technologies. The complex system of , industry, policy, and business model needs to be re-planned from the top.
