Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of the clues! CTOnews.com August 27 news, ideal car smart driving product manager Zhao Zhelun recently made a supplementary explanation to the commuter NOA "early bird user" plan announced at the Chengdu auto show, and responded to some of the questions.

Why early bird users rather than full push: Zhao Zhelun said that the principle of "early bird users" is to release the function in advance to users who are more familiar with and willing to function, and then gradually reduce the requirements and cover more users. After that, the number of early Bird users will continue to expand, from 100 to 1000 to 10,000, until the public test, full push.

Zhao Zhelun takes Tesla testing FSD in North America as an example. The test process of FSD is as follows:

The FSD function will be released to early bird users in North America from October 2020.

The number of people reached about 1,000 at the beginning of 2021, and continued to expand through the "security sub -" mechanism.

The scale of ten thousand people by the end of 2021.

In November 2022, the number reached 160000 and a public test was launched (users who buy FSD software can get the software as soon as they apply.

Zhao Zhelun also said that the proliferation of "early bird to full" users is related to the functional features of urban NOA:

Urban NOA is a safety-related innovation function, which is proficient in the acceptance and use of innovation function, and the early stage of the function is more suitable for users with high acceptance of innovation.

The algorithm of urban NOA needs to gradually generalize the applicable scenarios, and a larger number of users means more unfamiliar and complex scenarios for the intelligent driving algorithm model.

Under the premise of ensuring the power of urban NOA products, the generalization of the model for the scene needs to be optimized step by step, which can not be achieved overnight.

Zhao Zhelun said that at present, the ideal car "early Bird test users" is 100 people, and it is expected to reach 10,000 people by the end of the year. Q2 will launch a full push next year, which means that there will be hundreds of thousands of people.

Why a city is a commuter NOA, not a city NOA: city NOA opens available roads through high-precision map coverage, map merchant mapping rules usually give priority to covering high-grade roads, and the opening of a city means that the city's high-grade road mapping is completed. However, this means that there are still many road sections that cannot use urban NOA.

The current "more important" place for the ideal car is the ability for users to use the city NOA from point A to point B where they commute. " As long as the number of users of a city expands and the number of commuting routes increases, we cover the thermal area of the city. We will launch a commuter NOA sharing model in the fourth quarter of this year. When users' routes are shared, all users can use their own training sections, and the NOA in urban areas will actually be opened. "

Why should commuter NOA restrict cities: this functional route is fully trained by users, but there is still a challenge of algorithm generalization, and the engineering team still needs to verify each city "for security reasons". In fact, the urban sinking depth of 100 cities is "basically close to unrestricted cities" (covering more than 95% of AD Max owners), which poses a high challenge to functional generalization verification. If the generalization verification of the algorithm is successful, the recruitment of commuter NOA users can be done "quickly" without restricting the city.

CTOnews.com previously reported that ideal announced during the Chengdu auto show that the commuter NOA will start internal testing for early bird users in September, first covering 10 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In November, it expanded to 50 cities; in December, it further expanded to 100 cities across the country. Commuter NOA coverage for all users is expected to be achieved by the second quarter of 2024.

In addition, the ideal also revealed that the BEV model is about to complete the opening of the highway and the city. Commuter NOA can be used seamlessly on the way to and from work, whether via highways, ring roads or urban roads. Commuter NOA will be pushed to full AD Max users in January next year, followed by AD Pro push.
