Chinese Startup Nullmax Launches New Tech to Tackle Self-driving Challenges in More Human-like Ways
Nullmax has launched Nullmax Intelligence and plans to launch full-scenario intelligent driving solutions based on the technology by 2025.
Nullmax推出Nullmax Intelligence，並計劃於2025年基於該技術推出全場景智能駕駛解決方案。
Chinese autonomous driving startup Nullmax has unveiled Nullmax Intelligence, a next-generation autonomous driving technology that attempts to allow vehicles to drive autonomously in a way that more closely resembles how humans perceive the world.
中國無人駕駛初創公司Nullmax推出了下一代無人駕駛技術——Nullmax Intelligence。該技術旨在讓車輛以更接近人類感知世界的方式實現自主駕駛。
The startup unveiled Nullmax Intelligence at an event today at its research and development center in Shanghai, saying the system will tackle autonomous driving challenges in a smarter, more human-like way.
今天，在其上海研發中心的活動上，這家初創公司發佈了Nullmax Intelligence，並表示該系統將以更智能、更類人化的方式應對無人駕駛挑戰。
Nullmax Intelligence relies primarily on camera information for visual perception, but adds additional input support for information including voice, text, and gestures.
Nullmax Intelligence主要依靠攝像頭信息進行視覺感知，同時支持包括語音、文本和手勢等信息的其他輸入方式。
This enables the system to reason through tasks with an end-to-end model that outputs visualization results, scene descriptions, and driving behaviors.
這使得該系統能夠通過端到端的模型推理任務，輸出可視化結果、場景描述和駕駛行爲。
Founded in Silicon Valley in 2016, Nullmax is a controlling subsidiary of Shenzhen-listed Shanghai Stonehill Technology Co Ltd.
Nullmax成立於2016年的硅谷，是深交所上市公司上海巖山科技控股的子公司。
Stonehill currently holds 39.20 percent of Nullmax's equity and 50.20 percent of its voting rights, according to an exchange announcement.
根據交易所公告，巖山科技目前持有Nullmax 39.20%的股權和50.20%的表決權。
Prior to founding Nullmax, its two founders, Xu Lei and Song Xinyu, both worked at Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), where they were involved in the development of Autopilot 1.0 and 2.0.
在創立Nullmax之前，其兩位創始人徐磊和宋欣宇都曾在特斯拉（納斯達克代碼：TSLA）工作，參與了Autopilot 1.0和2.0的研發。
With this experience, Nullmax chose to build intelligent driving systems that focus on visual perception.
憑藉這些經驗，Nullmax選擇構建以視覺感知爲核心的智能駕駛系統。
Nullmax Intelligence has a unique architecture designed to think like a human based on incoming images, sounds, and textual information, the startup said today.
Nullmax Intelligence採用獨特的架構，能夠基於輸入的圖像、聲音和文本信息像人類一樣思考，這家初創公司今天宣佈。
Nullmax can perform obstacle detection and 3D reconstruction through pure vision and enable autonomous driving capabilities that do not rely on high-precision maps by generating local maps in real time, according to the company.
據該公司介紹，Nullmax能夠通過純視覺實現障礙物檢測和3D重建，生成實時局部地圖，實現不依賴高精度地圖的自動駕駛能力。
The design of Nullmax Intelligence also allows it to have a lower cost, enabling full-scenario pilot-assisted driving even when having less than 100T of sparse computing power, the company said.
Nullmax Intelligence的設計還能夠降低成本，即使在擁有少於100萬億的稀疏計算能力的情況下，也能實現全場景的駕駛輔助，該公司表示。
Nullmax built a data platform and an algorithm platform for data training to support the expansion of the capabilities of the Nullmax Intelligence model.
Nullmax建立了一個數據平台和一個數據培訓算法平台，以支持Nullmax Intelligence模型的能力擴展。
On top of real data, Nullmax generates virtual data by means of AIGC (AI Generated Content) to accelerate model development and iteration, especially scarce and high-value data, the company said.
除了真實數據，Nullmax還通過AI生成內容（AIGC）生成虛擬數據，以加快模型的開發和迭代，特別是在獲取稀缺和高價值數據方面，該公司表示。
On virtual data, Nullmax has realized the generation of elements, images and videos.
在虛擬數據上，Nullmax已經實現了元素、圖像和視頻的生成。
Based on the capabilities of Nullmax Intelligence, Nullmax plans to launch full-scenario intelligent driving solutions by 2025.
基於Nullmax Intelligence的能力，Nullmax計劃於2025年推出全場景智能駕駛解決方案。
The company also plans to expand its AI capabilities into freight transportation and robotics.
該公司還計劃將其AI能力應用於貨運運輸和機器人領域。
Nullmax has already cooperated with a number of car companies and achieved revenue of about RMB 34 million ($4.7 million) in the first half of 2024, according to an earnings preview by Stonehill on July 10.
據巖山科技7月10日發佈的業績預覽顯示，在與多家汽車公司合作並取得了約3.4億人民幣（約合470萬美元）的營業收入後，Nullmax已經實現了業績。
