Chapter 2857 The national standard is just the bottom line
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.
, this is exactly the limitation of this technology.
Some of our car companies deliberately avoid or ignore this issue for their own publicity needs, which 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 nonexistent. 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,
It will cause a tragedy, even a life.
I also hope that these colleagues can pay attention to this issue, instead of rushing into public relations after an accident occurs, 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 by yourself. I think you will have a clearer judgment. In addition, there is also relevant explanation in the new L4 high-end autonomous driving technology guarantee.
Speaking of this, Wu Hao paused for a moment, 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 that
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 its corporate standards according to its 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, 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 that.
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, self-driving technology is much safer than real-person 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.
.
What’s more, I want to tell you something. The more vehicles equipped with L4-level 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, and all its behavioral logic is actually predictable, so these vehicles are safer to drive on the road, and basically there will be no problems before."
At this point, 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 without conscience just 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 already continued to select reporters to ask questions. This time he chose a male reporter, a foreign media reporter. He took the microphone and 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 be used for the technical standards of other countries and regions.
Finally, Mr. Wu is the question 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 there are many outsiders.
People are calling and requesting your company to build its own cars. So what makes your company willing to give up building cars and instead provide technical services to the industry as a technology supplier to the automotive 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 worldwide simultaneously, so there are no problems in this regard.
As a technology company, we certainly welcome all manufacturers, including manufacturers and companies from various overseas regions and countries, to come and discuss cooperation with us.
But there is a premise for this, that is, the other party must come with sincerity. And our cooperation should also be conducted under fair and equal conditions."
