At present, L4-level high-end autonomous driving technology can adapt to basically 99% of our daily road conditions. This can already meet our daily needs, but there are still some environments, some road conditions, and some terrains that it cannot adapt to. , which is exactly the limitation of this technology.
And some of our car companies deliberately avoid or ignore this issue for their own publicity needs. This can easily confuse consumers and users, which may cause misjudgment by these consumers and users, thus bringing danger. .
This possibility may seem very small to many people, but small does not mean there is no possibility. As a company, we should uphold a responsible attitude and be responsible for consumers and users. Some small probabilities that may seem insignificant to you can cause a tragedy or even a human life.
I also hope that these colleagues can pay attention to this issue, instead of rushing into public relations after an accident, and then escaping responsibility and smoothing over the incident. This behavior is very shameful.
What I want to emphasize is that it does not mean that we have mastered L5 level fully autonomous driving technology, so we can belittle L4 level high-end autonomous driving technology and the technology of other manufacturers.
Regarding the classification standards of L4 and L5, you can check the relevant information yourself. I think you will have a clearer judgment. In addition, there are also related explanations in the new L4 level high-end autonomous driving technology guarantee.
Speaking of this, Wu Hao paused, then looked at Su Qian and continued with a smile: "As for your second question, regarding the national standards and our own standards, I don't think there is a conflict.
First of all, the national standard is a mandatory access standard, which means it is the bottom line and the foundation. Only technologies and companies that meet the national standard can apply it to smart cars, and it appears to be L4 high-end autonomous driving technology.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a passing line.
When formulating this technical standard, we need to consider the overall strength and development needs of the industry, so we have to put the standard within an appropriate range. It can neither be too high nor too low. It must be appropriate, so Only in this way can we ensure the safety of our consumers and the public, and also ensure the healthy and orderly development of the entire industry.
As one of the many respondents, we have achieved very good results in this regard and are slightly ahead in various technologies. Therefore, the corporate standards we have set for ourselves are higher than the national standards.
This is not a bad thing, on the contrary we believe that higher standards can bring a better experience to users and the public.
Of course, this is just our own behavior. Each company will still formulate their corporate standards according to their own needs, or strictly follow the national standards.
No matter what it is, as long as it meets the national standard, it is a qualified product. On this point, everyone can rest assured. "
As for your third question. Wu Hao paused for a moment, then looked at the reporters in the audience and said with a smile: "This is completely understandable. After all, there will be doubts and concerns about the emergence of any new technology, and there is no problem with it.
After all, no one would dare to hand over the names of themselves and their family members to machines and programs easily. This will take time, a time for the public to accept and trust it.
What I can tell you is that L4 autonomous driving technology is very safe, and the vehicles it uses are far ahead of humans in terms of driving technology and driving capabilities.
Therefore, from this aspect, autonomous driving technology is much safer than human driving. Real people may be tired, distracted, or even make mistakes in judgment, but intelligent driving systems will not.
Another thing I want to tell you is that most traffic accidents are actually caused by failure to strictly abide by traffic rules. This problem does not exist with the intelligent driving system. It will strictly abide by the traffic rules, so safety is greatly guaranteed. .
Moreover, I want to tell you something. The more vehicles equipped with L4 advanced autonomous driving technology in society, the lower the number of traffic accidents and the safer everyone’s travel will be.
This is not to say that we don’t trust human driving skills, but that human driving behavior is full of uncertainties and unknowns, and is too difficult to predict, so it can easily cause accidents.
The intelligent driving system does not have these problems. All its behavioral logic is actually predictable, so these vehicles are safer to drive on the road, and basically no problems occurred before. "
Having said this, Wu Hao spread his hands to everyone and said: "Maybe if I said this today, someone on the Internet will scold me, saying that I, Wu Hao, said it unconscionably to promote my own technology.
But what I assure you is entirely based on technology and data, and I am responsible for what I say. "
After answering this question, Wu Hao immediately picked up the water, opened it and took a sip to moisten his throat.
At this time, Su Ho had continued to select reporters to ask questions. This time, he chose a male reporter, a foreign media reporter. He took the microphone, stood up, and said to Wu Hao.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, I am Qinil from the Lion City Morning News. I would like to ask whether the L4 high-end autonomous driving technology solution released by your company is only for domestic companies or for global companies. For overseas companies looking for Cooperation, does your company have any requirements?
Another thing I would like to ask is that your company's L4 high-end autonomous driving technology solution is currently only based on domestic technical standards, so whether it will use the technical standards of other countries and regions.
Finally, there is Mr. Wu, an issue that everyone is most concerned about. We all know that your company is an important participant and technical contributor in the automotive industry. There should be no obstacles to building cars. We have also noticed that many people outside are calling and requesting your company to build its own cars. So what makes your company willing to give up building cars and become a technology supplier to the automotive industry to provide technical services to the industry? "
Glancing at the face from Southeast Asia, Wu Hao said with a smile: "Of course, we are a global company, and of course our products and technologies are aimed at the global market.
Perhaps you should also note that our press conference is broadcast live globally, so there is no problem in this regard.
As a technology company, of course we welcome all manufacturers, including manufacturers and companies from various overseas regions and countries, to come and discuss cooperation with us.
But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the other party must come with sincerity. And our cooperation should also be conducted under fair and equal conditions. "
