October 20, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that all Tesla's new car will be equipped with "fully automated driving function" hardware system - Autopilot 2.0. Maske said Autopilot 2.0 already has a "fifth-class automatic driving ability", that is fully automated. October 20, Tesla China, told reporters on the First Financial, Tesla in China to push fully automatic driving system will comply with Chinese law, "hands do not leave the steering wheel" is still the fundamental principle must be adhered to.
Autopilot 2.0 has fully automated driving levels
October 17, Musk, said in its Twitter, scheduled for this week held a mysterious product launch held two days later. But he did not disclose the specific reasons, but said, "need more time to improve the details." At that time, some analysts believe that new products may refer to a new generation of repaired autopilot system, some people think that the so-called mysterious new models may be Model 3 cars, and even rumors of the compact cross-border vehicle Model Y.
Ultimately unveiled the mystery of the product is "fully automatic driving function" hardware system - Autopilot 2.0, which includes the three major technologies. First of all, the system will contain eight cameras, covering 360-degree visual range, the monitoring distance of the surrounding environment up to 250 meters. Second, the vehicle equipped with 12 ultrasonic sensors to improve the visual system, detection and sensing of hard and soft objects close to the previous generation system, twice the system. In addition, the enhanced version of the pre-radar through the redundant wavelength to provide a richer surrounding data, radar waves can pass heavy rain, fog, dust, and even the front of the vehicle.
At the same time, the new Tesla vehicles are also equipped with a more powerful vehicle computing system, provided by the NVidia GPU chip, the computing power of 40 times the previous generation version, running Tesla based on deep neural network research and development of visual systems, sonar And radar system software.
"The system provides a world-wide image that the driver can not touch with the eye, detecting every direction around the vehicle by means of band synchronization, which goes far beyond the human senses," Tesla said on its website.
For the hardware's autopilot level, Musker said the Autopilot 2.0 already has "Level 5 autopilot capability." According to the American Society of Automotive Engineers' Automated Driving Criteria, which is selected by the US Department of Transportation, Level 5 is fully automated, meaning that all human drivers can cope with road and environmental conditions, The driving system autonomously performs all of the driving operations.
"Fully automatic driving is certainly the direction of the development of automotive technology, but the industry generally believe that the realization of fully automatic driving to wait until after 2020." Northeast Securities Automotive Electronics analyst Lai Yanjie analysis of the First Financial reporter said, Tesla side of this Revealed that by the end of 2017, it will hold a full automatic driving parade from Los Angeles to New York. Then by 2018 Tesla's fully automatic driving is expected to really come to the public, which is generally estimated to be two years earlier than the industry.
Lai Yanjie introduction, the world's leading auto manufacturers to fully automatic driving is not active, or a conservative attitude, including the system's security and stability concerns. However, Laiyan Jie also said that Tesla in the sensor integration, especially the camera plus millimeter-wave radar settings, such as the situation for the rain and fog, etc., is indeed a great innovation highlights.
"Hands do not leave the steering wheel" is currently must adhere to the principle
2016 can be described as Tesla's troubled. In May 2016, a Tesla S-type car in the Florida highway accident, it was reported that the incident, the vehicle is in the autopilot mode, but the car system is suspected to fail to recognize the white truck, causing the vehicle did not Start the brake and hit the truck.
In January 2016, Gao Yining crash in Hebei Province, when he was driving a Tesla ModelS. Hebei high-speed traffic police Handan detachment Cixian Battalion in the accident after the conclusion is given after the car white Tesla car encountered in front of the construction work of the road cleaning operation vehicle, did not take any emergency braking and avoidance measures.
With several news reports on the accident, on the safety of autopilot technology caused heated debate. In terms of autopilot regulations, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said in July that the ministry was working with the police to develop regulations to regulate autopilot testing and to remind automakers not to test autopilot vehicles on high-speed roads prior to regulatory release. Zhou Wei, chief engineer of the Ministry of Transport, said in April, at present, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Industry and other departments are working together to promote the relevant legislation related to automatic driving work.
Tesla China in the relevant stakeholders in the October 20, told reporters that the Tesla announced the upgrade of the autopilot system is only a hardware system, the software system upgrade will take time. At present, China's Tesla owners of the vehicle system is automatically assisted driving system, the driver's hands should be placed on the steering wheel, the whole system is just a secondary driving function. But the source also said that compared to other manufacturers including Apple, Google, Tesla advantage in addition to technology, there are a lot of road data, these are not other manufacturers to simulate. Even in the event of a car accident, in the face of public pressure, Tesla will not stop to explore the autopilot technology efforts. However, he also stressed that Tesla in China to push the automatic driving system will certainly comply with Chinese law, the current stage, the owner "hands do not leave the steering wheel" is certain must abide by the principle.
