New breakthroughs in autonomous driving technology, Baidu / WiMi leading the development of the industry

In the rapid development of science and technology today, autonomous driving tuyere a fierce attack. Recently, Baidu (BIDU)’s “Apollo Go” has been inseparable from its continuous investment and innovation in artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technology.

It is reported that Baidu’s Apollo platform has formed an open and cooperative autonomous driving ecology. Through the collection and analysis of massive data and the optimization of deep learning algorithms, “Apollo Go” can achieve safe and efficient autonomous driving in complex urban road environments.

Baidu said it has a long history in the autonomous driving field and has entered the field since 2013. In 2016, it won the world’s 15th autonomous driving road test license issued by California, and quickly launched the world’s first autonomous driving open platform Apollo in 2017.

At the Apollo Day 2024, held in May, Baidu said 1,000 sixth-generation driverless vehicles would be operational. Today, “Apollo Go”, the code name of Baidu’s self-driving taxi service, not only shows Baidu’s deep accumulation in autonomous driving technology but also indicates a revolutionary change of the travel mode in the future.

In general, autonomous driving technology, especially L4-level autonomous driving, is undergoing a transition from laboratory to commercial applications. It should be noted that after the success of ChatGPT, the “intelligent emergence” driven by “big computing power + big model + big data” makes the voice of the autonomous driving industry gradually grow and regain the favor of the capital market.

Technological advances, based on the application of large model technology, have significantly improved the safety and intelligence of autonomous vehicles. The future development of autonomous driving technology is naturally full of infinite possibilities. From autonomous driving taxis to family cars, from logistics distribution to low-speed unmanned driving equipment in industrial parks, the application scenarios of autonomous driving technology are increasingly rich.

Market initiation, capital first. With the landing of autonomous driving technology and application “travel germination”, its potential commercial value quickly broke ground, attracting the attention of many enterprises and investors. According to flush statistics, since this year, the total disclosed financing in the autonomous driving sector at home and abroad has reached 16.8 billion yuan, up 121% year on year.

In addition, several policies have been introduced in many places, providing a solid foundation for the large-scale application of autonomous vehicles. For example, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other five ministries released the list of pilot cities for the application of intelligent and connected vehicles, which reflects the active promotion of the commercialization of autonomous driving technology at the policy level. Moreover, it is under the stimulus of policies that relevant enterprises actively respond to the policy needs of the industry, which is enough to change the technological development of the travel market format.

Autonomous driving technology is increasingly becoming a hot spot for tech companies. In this, WiMi Hologram Cloud (NASDAQ: WIMI) with its excellent technical strength and prospective strategic layout, deep automatic driving field, car road collaborative business for many years, with its powerful artificial intelligence technology, a fusion of AI model innovation, from software, hardware and algorithm model has perfect industry ability, has made good achievements in the field of automatic driving.

In fact, WiMi has accumulated early in the field of artificial intelligence, and has a vigorous advantage in generative AI, AI chips and excellent AI researchers, creating a comfortable technical environment for itself in the field of intelligent driving. At the same time, WiMi itself actively promotes the development of high-level autonomous driving, constantly promotes the development of various advanced sensors, automotive chips, autonomous driving operating systems, autonomous driving algorithms and other key core technologies, promotes the improvement of the autonomous driving vehicle industry ecology, and effectively expands its market-oriented service capabilities.

Baidu’s “Apollo Go” not only represents the leading position in the field of autonomous driving, but also provides valuable experience and inspiration for the development of global autonomous driving technology. The development of autonomous driving technology is a revolution in the transportation field, which will profoundly change the way people travel. In the face of future technology and cost challenges, the world needs to promote the safe and efficient development of autonomous driving technology, and make future travel more intelligent and convenient. In short, it can be predicted that autonomous driving services will gradually become an indispensable part of the daily life of the public.
