"In addition, we have made breakthrough progress in 4D imaging millimeter wave radar technology, as well as optical imaging technology and image recognition technology. We hope to organically integrate these technologies to combine
The industry's leading autonomous driving technology."
4D imaging millimeter wave radar technology? After Zhang Jun heard Zhou Yonghui’s words, he couldn’t help but said: “This technology is very popular now. All major car manufacturers are promoting it. Is it a gimmick or does this technology really exist?”
After hearing Zhang Jun's words, everyone became interested. Yes, the concept of 4D imaging millimeter wave radar technology has been repeatedly hyped by manufacturers in recent years, all claiming to have mastered this technology. So now everyone has heard Zhou Yonghui say,
Naturally, I became curious.
Zhou Yonghui smiled and nodded when he heard this: "This technology does exist, and it should be said that it is the most advanced millimeter wave radar technology in the industry.
However, there are currently very few companies that have mastered this technology, only a few, and they are uneven. The so-called 4D imaging millimeter-wave radar technology currently being speculated by manufacturers on the market is actually a pseudo-concept, and it is just a false concept.
On the other hand, theoretically it is still ordinary millimeter wave radar technology.
They only optimized it at the system software level, and the overall performance improvement is very limited."
"So, this thing is an IQ tax." Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows and said.
Not necessarily, Zhou Yonghui shook his head and said: "If 4D imaging millimeter wave radar technology is really used, the ability to perceive the surrounding environment will be greatly improved.
However, there is currently a mixed bag in this regard, and the cost of this technology is relatively high. There are relatively few manufacturers and brands that actually use this technology, and they are all high-end vehicles. Due to cost constraints, this technology has not yet been able to reach the mid-to-low-end market.
.
One of the purposes of our research on this technology is to greatly reduce its cost, so that this technology can be applied to low-end vehicles on the road, thereby benefiting more ordinary people."
How big is the performance gap between this technology and ordinary millimeter wave radar? Wu Hao raised a question that interests him.
After hearing Wu Hao's question, Zhou Yonghui quickly replied: "The gap is huge, almost equivalent to the gap between our new generation lidar technology and the first generation lidar technology."
"So big!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhou Yonghui's answer. They originally thought it was just a publicity stunt, but they didn't expect that the gap in technical performance was really so big.
While everyone was discussing, Zhang Jun raised a new question, which successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"Since we already have such an advanced new generation of lidar, why do we need to integrate this 4D imaging millimeter wave radar? Isn't this a bit too much and a waste of resources?"
The question Zhang Jun asked is indeed what many people want to ask. Their new generation lidar technology is so powerful, why do they need to integrate this 4D imaging millimeter wave radar technology into it? Is this really what Zhang Jun said?
As mentioned, there is too much stockpiling and resources are wasted.
Faced with this question, Zhou Yonghui smiled and shook his head.
"In fact, there is no such problem. For consumers, it is better to overstock materials than to cut corners. Of course, this will increase some costs, but the benefits are also very obvious.
And you missed one thing. We are a three-in-one vehicle surrounding environment perception system with laser radar, 4D imaging millimeter wave radar technology, optical imaging technology and image recognition technology.
As everyone knows, we are far ahead in the entire industry in terms of optical imaging technology and image recognition technology.
This time, we have made great enhancements in these two technologies. The first is optical imaging technology. This time, we did not use ordinary high-definition imaging lenses used by ordinary automobile manufacturers or autonomous driving technology suppliers as image capture
sensor.
Instead, we use our own customized synthetic compound eye lens. In this synthetic compound eye lens, we not only integrate a high-definition white light lens, a low-light lens, and an infrared lens.
These three lenses can very clearly detect and capture white light, low light, and infrared images around the vehicle, and process these images to perceive more information about the surrounding environment.
Then, after processing through our intelligent image recognition technology, we can provide the autonomous driving system with very detailed and accurate information about the vehicle's surrounding environment.
From this point of view, our two technologies are far ahead of those pure optical autonomous driving solutions of our peers, or basically all optical autonomous driving solutions.
If it were an ordinary car company, these three major technologies would enable it to thrive in the industry. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is proud of the rest.
But it's not enough for us. We don't want to put the safety of the entire car and the passengers in the car on one technology. The risk is too high.
Once there is a slight problem with this technology, or a scene that has never been encountered before is not recognized, the result may be a tragedy of car crash and death.
We are engaged in technology, but this technology is closely related to the life safety of drivers and passengers. We should take it seriously, and we should be responsible for lives.
So based on this, we brought these three technologies together to integrate them into the most advanced autonomous driving system in the world.
This autonomous driving system will be able to cope with basically all traffic scenarios in reality, and will be able to handle them very well.
I can say right now that the performance of our autonomous driving technology has far exceeded that of humans. Zhou Yonghui announced confidently.
Later, when this technology is released and promoted, we plan to organize a competition to recruit outstanding drivers from all over the world to compete with vehicles equipped with our self-driving technology. If anyone can beat us, then who will win
One million dollar reward.
We just hope to attract everyone's attention through such a competition and expand the imaging technology of our technology as much as possible so that it can be applied to more vehicles.
This allows this technology to serve more people, save more lives, and benefit more people.
Of course, we also hope that through our efforts, we can change the status quo of the entire autonomous driving technology industry, set higher goals for them, inspire and promote the accelerated development of the entire industry, thereby benefiting all aspects related to it and benefiting the entire world.
