Baidu’s open autopilot platform will send you a takeaway

Automated driving is an important direction for the future development of the automotive industry, so we are also actively concerned about the industry dynamics. However, most of the previous online news was from foreign manufacturers, and it seems that they have never heard of any news from China. But the good news is that domestic manufacturers' technical research on autonomous driving has not fallen.

Recently, Baidu announced plans to open an autopilot platform called "Apollo". Baidu said that through this platform, other automotive industry and automation partners can quickly create their own autonomous driving system.

In this process, Baidu mainly provides an open, complete and secure software platform, and related partners combine their own existing vehicle and hardware systems to build their own automatic driving system. Does this sound like something similar to Google's Android system?

If the "Apollo" project can be implemented smoothly, it is foreseeable that Baidu will be able to apply intelligent technology to more and more fields through this platform in the future.

In fact, a few days before the announcement of the "Apollo" program, Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan Review, also talked about the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the take-out platform, and said that "unmanned vehicles and robots are not very distant. I believe that delivery robots will appear faster than unmanned driving." Although it is difficult to understand why the delivery of such a technology needs to be used in the front-end, but from Wang Xing's words, you can see that all the industries at the end are It is bound to develop towards a technological operation.

A technological world, this sounds like it was said in the science fiction book we saw when we were young. Relying on the rapid development of AI technology, such a world may not be too far.
