China's first autonomous driving policy formulation, smart car is not far away

In 2017, artificial intelligence entered a prosperous period. Whether it is the layout of new retail or the emergence of unmanned driving, it has become a symbol of this smart era and the next hurdle.

In 2018, known as the first year of artificial intelligence, in the coming years of blockchain technology, how far is the era of artificial intelligence. This is the most important proposition of the new year and the trend of the whole year.

Can you see the difference between driverless and automatic driving?

Since Baidu took the road to measure driverless cars, let driverlessness become a hot topic for the Smart Year. Autopilot is also a cutting-edge technology before being drone. So what's the difference between the two?

In fact, the difference between autonomous driving and unmanned driving is mainly due to the difference in the cognitive subjects. If you decide to drive a person, it is automatic driving. Companies such as Audi, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and other companies that have auto-driving functions can drive on their own or they can drive autonomously without hands.

Driverless driving is one level higher than that of automatic driving. Driving is completely given to the machine. It is also called autonomous driving. Such as Google's driverless car, its internal no steering wheel, no throttle, just a start and stop button. Get on the train directly to set the destination, how to go, how fast to open, have to listen to the car.

So, in the true sense of driverlessness, Baidu's unmanned driving vehicle should be a self-driving car.

Beijing Formulates Autonomous Vehicle Regulations

Since the drone has become the new wave of artificial intelligence, it has been receiving the attention of everyone. However, since Baidu's driverless car was punished on the road, how the development of unmanned autopilot technology has been defined has become the key.

On Friday (February 2nd), the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission specifically developed the on-the-spot evaluation criteria and detailed test requirements for automated driving. Although autopilot is still somewhat different from unmanned driving, the emergence of new rules and regulations also makes autopilot, a cutting-edge technology, even more reasonable and legitimate.

According to the guidance document issued by the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, testing a self-driving car on a public road requires a series of tests, with a score of 100 points, and a test score of at least 80 minutes before it can be used.

From the test items, this test basically contains all the contents of the driving test from subject one to subject three and the theory test.

I. Cognition and compliance test

According to the current road traffic safety law, traffic signs/marks, traffic lights, and traffic police command gestures are all traffic signals. Self-driving cars, like human drivers, should abide by the meaning and regulations contained in the signals. This part of the test focuses on the recognition and understanding capabilities of the onboard autopilot system.

Self-driving vehicles should ensure that all traffic signals in the picture can be identified in real time. In addition to understanding the meaning of signals, they must also be able to correctly handle the priorities between different signals. At the junction with the traffic police, traffic should be given in accordance with the command of the traffic police.

Second, vehicle operation and comprehensive driving ability test

About the operation of the vehicle and integrated driving, the simplest such as the vehicle starting, parking, follow-up, changing lanes, a little more complicated, such as right-angled turning, curve driving, ramp start and stop, reverse storage and other items.

This is still the same as ordinary driving vehicles. This time, the rules are used to examine the driving level of autonomous vehicles. Such as Baidu driverless cars on the road but in the Beijing Fifth Ring Road because the cross-solid line and the traffic management department was investigated, is the typical road marking failure.

The regulatory documents on this occasion also put forward different difficulty requirements for different projects on the evaluation criteria.

1. The time for a complete reversal of storage shall not exceed 3.5 minutes, while the side parking shall not exceed 1.5 minutes, and the ramp start and stop shall be completed within 30 seconds.

2. In rainy or wet roads, the automatic driving vehicle should also maintain or reduce the speed and turn on the corresponding flash. In the school section, the speed should be reduced to less than 30 kilometers.

3. In the event that an emergency stop is required, the system of the autopilot vehicle also needs to park within 2 seconds and hand the vehicle control to the driver.

4. If the horn is used incorrectly and the rear vehicle does not pass the signal of overtaking, the automatic driving vehicle that does not allow the line to be braked and is not smooth will be deducted by 10 points.

5. In addition, there are 27 cases that will be directly judged as unqualified. If the vehicle slips more than 30 centimeters at the start, it does not follow the traffic signs, markings and signals.

This time, the rules for autopilot implementation, because of the use of a score system, the corresponding difficulty level (T1-T5) of each test item must reach 80 points or more to be qualified.

Therefore, it is said that it is more difficult and more rigorous than our daily driver's license examination.

Automatic driving rules have been opened. How far is intelligence from us?

Some time ago, the European Union had already conducted a legislative discussion on artificial intelligence. Nowadays, although the full-body unmanned driving has not been formulated, the current unmanned driving is still based on the development of autonomous driving technology.

However, as far as Beijing has already established relevant regulations for autonomous vehicles, the artificial intelligence market in the future is certainly developing at a rapid pace. Driverless technology is also constantly being optimized and improved.

With the layout of artificial intelligence in the last year or two, social rhythm and lifestyle have also changed. Whether it is the emergence of smart audio, expanding the market for voice, or blockchain, new retail, AR, VR and other new technologies The continuous production of these plants has foreshadowed the future.

What is the future and how will we develop in the future? We don't know, and we can hardly anticipate it. However, we know that that day is coming.
