As major automobile manufacturers have successively held their own L4-level high-end autonomous driving conferences, the entire industry and society have become hotly debated about this set of regulations and the L4-level high-end autonomous driving technology of various companies.
For ordinary people, they naturally warmly welcome the release of L4 high-end autonomous driving technology, but at the same time, people are also concerned about the impact of this technology and the promulgation of this regulation on their lives.
In fact, as long as people are exposed to L3 level autonomous driving technology and vehicles, they have already felt the convenience of autonomous driving technology, and everyone has higher expectations for L4 level high-end autonomous driving.
The press conferences of various car companies also let everyone understand what L4-level high-end autonomous driving technology is and what it can bring to the general public. However, these car companies blindly follow the script, but everyone is a little confused. Whether these touted high-end technologies are really practical, everyone can't help but raise a question mark.
At present, all the car companies present in their press conferences are PPT manuscripts, and they all claim that their technology has reached the L4 level, but it is not clear whether it has actually reached the L4 level.
To put it bluntly, this display and introduction is not intuitive.
At the same time, the entire industry, including many people, are wondering why Haoyu Technology, as an important player in the fields of new energy vehicles and autonomous driving technology, has not made any move, which makes everyone confused.
Is it because they don’t pay attention, or because there is no technology release for L4 high-end autonomous driving.
Just when everyone was talking about it, Haoyu Technology announced on its official website and social accounts that Haoyu Technology will hold a technical conference on high-end autonomous technology and related high-end autonomous driving experience activities in the near future.
As soon as this news was released, it attracted the attention of the general public and the industry. You must know that everyone is talking about it at the press conference, but no one has really come up with Chengping for everyone to actually experience. Haoyu Technology is the first, so the attention is very high.
Everyone also wants to know whether this legendary L4 high-end autonomous driving is as powerful as everyone claims.
In fact, several years ago, some car companies announced that they have mastered L4 high-end autonomous driving technology. This technology can be implemented as long as relevant regulations are promulgated.
This is what everyone said at the press conferences of these car companies.
So how big is the gap between L3 level and L4 level? In fact, this is very complicated. The gap may be large or small, but it is not that big.
If you want to use an example to illustrate the picture, you can refer to the difference between a semi-automatic rifle and a fully automatic rifle.
In short, the L3 level is a semi-automatic rifle. It is much more advanced than a bolt-action rifle. Once the bolt is pulled and loaded, continuous shooting can be achieved. However, because it is a semi-automatic mode, the shooter also needs to intervene during continuous shooting. Simply put, how fast a semi-automatic rifle fires depends entirely on how fast the shooter pulls the trigger.
As for a fully automatic rifle, it is much more advanced than a semi-automatic rifle. It only needs to pull the trigger to achieve continuous shooting. The rate of fire has nothing to do with the number of times the shooter pulls the trigger, but is related to the design and manufacturing performance of the gun.
Compared with L3 level autonomous driving technology, L4 high-end autonomous driving is actually taking advantage of automation. L3 level autonomous driving technology can replace the driver's responsibility for controlling the vehicle for a longer or shorter period of time, but it still requires a system for the driver to monitor driving activities.
When encountering some difficult road conditions, the L3 level autonomous driving system may automatically exit and leave it to the driver to take control.
Therefore, the driver needs to monitor the operating status of the entire system in real time and be ready to take over the vehicle at any time.
L4 level high-level autonomous driving can realize a highly automated system, a system that can drive an unmanned vehicle and allow all occupants in the vehicle to engage in other activities without the need for monitoring. This level of automation allows for activities such as computer work, rest and sleep, and other entertainment.
However, this level of autonomous driving also has conditions, and it is not completely autonomous. Complete autonomous driving does not require human intervention at all, and can achieve complete driverless driving in all areas, at all times, and in all environments.
As for the L4 level, high-level autonomous driving and unmanned vehicles can be realized in most areas. However, for some special areas, terrains and environments, it may have a certain impact on the automatic system, making automatic driving impossible.
However, for most people, this level of high-end autonomous driving is completely sufficient. As long as you don't go into some complex terrain environments, this level of autonomous driving technology is enough to meet people's daily travel needs.
Especially in an environment where domestic traffic roads are so developed, this level of high-end autonomous driving technology is enough to meet everyone's basic needs.
It's just that there may be some problems with roads in some remote areas, such as deserts, plateaus, glaciers, and mountainous areas. However, unless they are people living in these areas, they will basically not be affected.
This is also the reason why so many car companies claim that they have already possessed the technology in this area, all of which are based on our excellent urban basic transportation system.
However, don’t just think that L4 level autonomous driving is simple. In fact, it is not simple. Because it has to deal with even all the traffic situations we encounter and need to make the most correct choices, which is not easy.
When L3 level encounters these complex road conditions, the driver can take over because the driver is monitoring the entire system in real time. But L4 high-level autonomous driving is different, because it is completely autonomous, which means that the driver does not need to monitor vehicle information and do his own thing.
Then when the vehicle encounters complex road conditions, it cannot exit at any time and let the driver take over. It must deal with these problems by itself. This places higher requirements on the performance of the entire system.
And this will cause a series of problems. For some complex road conditions and traffic accidents, human handling will have problems. This is normal, after all, it is beyond our capabilities.
But for autonomous driving systems, this is different. People will attribute the responsibility for the accident to the fact that the technology is not advanced enough or there are flaws in the technology, which led to the accident.
Another example is how the autonomous driving system should deal with problems when the vehicle it is controlling has a problem.
For example, how should the automatic driving system deal with the most common tire blowout problem in vehicles, and how should the system solve the problem of sideslip and rollover? Even when the autonomous driving system encounters external or internal factors, such as lightning strikes, the electronic components of the entire vehicle are damaged. What should we do if internal factors such as the driver's drinks and drinking water enter, causing the equipment to burn down?
