Autopilot has a quantum leap in improvement. Musk said that L5 level autopilot will be achieved within the year?

Autonomous driving technology has always been the main direction of research and development of major auto manufacturers around the world. Although many automakers are beginning to advertise that their models have entered the L3 level of autonomous driving, the "Car One Circle" that consumers can really experience believes that they are still only at the L2+ level of autonomous driving. And there is such a car company that has always been not interested in L3 level automatic driving in a specific scenario, and the direction of research and development is to skip L3 and directly enter the scene-based L4 level automatic driving. This car company is Tesla.

 

 

Will Tesla achieve L5 autonomous driving within this year?

 

A few days ago, Tesla CEO Musk, known as the Iron Man of Silicon Valley, said that Tesla's autopilot system AutoPilot has achieved a "quantum leap" improvement. If the test results are satisfactory, the company will push OTA upgrades to American car owners in mid-December. At the same time, Musk also said that it will complete the development of the basic functions of L5 level autonomous driving this year. Combining the two, Qin Ge has reason to believe that the key to this L5 autonomous driving will be this "quantum leap" improvement.

 

So what is the level of L5 autonomous driving at the highest stage? To put it simply, a vehicle that reaches the L5 level of autonomous driving can drive the vehicle in any scene and under any condition, of course, under the condition that the car can drive normally. In other words, if you are sitting in the driving position, you are just sitting there, you don't have to do anything. The computer inside the car acts as your driver.

 

 

L4-L5, leaping is not an overnight effort

 

But with the current level of human technology, can such results be achieved in such a short period of time? Although everyone will give a thumbs up to Tesla's self-driving technology, this time the span is really too big. Don't forget that while Tesla's autonomous driving is frequently praised, accidents happen from time to time. As far as the current Tesla models are concerned, I believe that even if Musk dares to say, he can't say that he has completely overcome L4 level autopilot. From L4 to L5, there is still a gap that needs to be improved.

 

 

In fact, carefully consider what Musk said. The realization of L5 level autopilot he said is only the development of basic functions, plus the sentence is very close to L5 level autopilot. In the eyes of Chinese consumers who are accustomed to playing word games, this kind of remark is actually an act of painting a cake. The process is said first, but the result is not accurate. Objectively speaking, the circle brother also recognizes Tesla's autopilot technology, and occasional accidents are acceptable on the journey to new technology. However, in the personal view of L5 level autopilot, it should be just a concept of speculation.

 

 

my country's autonomous driving technology process

 

 

Compared with Tesla's behavior at the forefront of technology at any time, my country's autonomous driving technology appears to be very stable. Recently, we can see many authoritative official reports of L3 level autonomous driving experience. In fact, at the technical level, Quange believes that my country’s technological level has actually overcome L3 level autonomous driving, but it has not been fully scened. There are fewer practical applications. There is a reason why Tesla directly developed the L4 level more or less, because only L4 level autonomous driving can play an "automatic" role in people's normal driving.

 

A few days ago, at the 2020 World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference, the cooperative construction of a national-level car networking pilot area in the Yangtze River Delta was officially launched. This year, Jiading District of Shanghai will open nearly 1,300km of roads for car testing, and also released ten major application scenarios including smart-driving taxi manned applications and driverless retail. All of this is actually laying the foundation for L4 level autonomous driving. Through point-to-line and line-to-surface, L4 level autonomous driving is popularized in people's lives step by step. In this way, although it takes longer, the reliability of the results is greatly improved. This is also the usual practice of Chinese people who do things steadily.

Viewpoint of "Car One Circle"

According to the top ten nationally ranked "Car One Circle", although autonomous driving technology can be regarded as a major research that changes human life, everyone wants to be the first. But because it is closely related to people's lives, is its technology mature? Is it safe or not? All must be 100% guaranteed. Taking every step steadily can save you a lot of follow-up troubles in one step. Of course, Brother Quan also hopes that Tesla can develop a real L5 autonomous driving technology as soon as possible. After all, this is a thing that is good for all mankind.
