On March 27th, at the 2018 Intelligent Networking International Symposium, Li Shufu, Chairman of Geely Holding Group, talked about the hottest autopilot .
In combination with Uber's autopilot-induced pedestrian death in the United States, Li Shufu believes that the development of smart-drive vehicles will not be smooth, and reminds that no matter how technology develops, safety is the top priority.
In recent years, developed countries such as Europe and the United States and China are vigorously developing self-driving cars. This year, Shanghai and Beijing have successively issued open road autopilot road test licenses. However, compared with the United States that issued autopilot regulations in 2014, China has fallen behind at least four years in policy development and licensing.
Li Shufu believes that due to the huge market size, China has the basis for guiding the development of smart cars. Moreover, communication technology, big data, etc. are the premise of the development of smart cars, and China's 5G and other technologies are developing rapidly. In turn, this provides data support for the government to develop autonomous driving regulations.
In fact, China is catching up with the pace of Europe and the United States in smart cars. Li Shufu revealed that among the 50 companies in the US road test, 15 of them are enterprises with Chinese capital background.
However, from a global perspective, how to encourage the development of new technologies for autonomous driving under the premise of ensuring the safety of occupants and pedestrians is a question that governments must consider when formulating regulations.
For the moment, how to test and approve mass production is the most urgent challenge for companies and regulations. Li Shufu expressed concern about policy uncertainty. He is worried that the government may adopt a one-size-fits-all policy because of events similar to those of Uber: it is necessary to go all the way and issue licenses uniformly; if anything happens, it will stop. He suggested that the next step is to let some of the leading technologies go up first, mature ones, and seek truth from facts, so that mature technology companies can be consolidated first.
Li Shufu concluded that in the next 2-3 years, some enterprises of smart car development technology will be relatively mature, but if the matching of roads and other technologies can keep up, they need to think. This is not a departmental issue, but a need to link various departments and enterprises.
In fact, many companies, including Volvo, feel that China's regulations on smart cars are inconsistent with those in Europe and the United States. Li Shufu takes high-precision map mapping as an example. At present, the state requires enterprises to have traditional map surveying qualifications in order to carry out high-precision map mapping. However, in fact, high-precision map mapping does not require traditional talent. He believes that these companies have tied their hands and feet because of the serious backward regulations. Li Shufu said that he believed that the relevant departments could solve these problems.
Finally, he made three suggestions for the development of smart cars:
First of all, smart driving vehicles, whether public or commercial, must be safe, otherwise it is not conducive to the development of the industry. He suggested that the government should encourage the commercialization of high-tempo autopilots in areas with simple road conditions.
Secondly, it is necessary to attract more engineering research and development personnel to engage in smart car research and development. Li Shufu revealed that there are currently less than 20,000 technicians engaged in the research and development of smart cars in China, and there are more than 60,000 in the United States. He believes that China's autonomous driving talent is too small and should be cultivated on a large scale.
He also lamented that many outsiders are pretending to be insiders. Adding a radar and camera to the car is called autonomous driving, and many local governments are too convinced of these companies.
Finally, he suggested that the government set up a think tank to allow domestic and foreign companies and academic institutions to work together to study how China can become a leader in autonomous driving and to do its work.
