What do the big three think about Smart cars?

According to the Chinese voice of "news in the vertical and horizontal" report, see the film "I, Robot" friend certainly to Smith driving that cool Smart car, not only without manual driving, but also relax the closed eyes repose, just move mouth skin to say the destination, the car can reach itself. In fact, in many earlier sci-fi movies, more or less introduced the concept of smart cars, it can be seen that unmanned driving many years ago has become a people's desire for intelligent travel. And now, this desire seems to come true soon.

Yesterday, on the last day of the 2015 Boao Forum for Asia, Baidu chairman Robin Li presided over a breakfast session, in which Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Tesla CEO Ellon MASC. In the meantime Musk said driverless cars could be put into production after five years. So what does the big three think about Smart cars? Is the trend of future cars as they expected?

Three people sitting together, Robin Li is the moderator, their topic from the success of the business began to chat, came to the end, Robin Li asked a big deal with what he is doing in the field-driverless cars, Robin Li asked, how long to make unmanned vehicles mainstream, including the United States, China and the rest of the world? Tesla's family Elonmasch said:

Elonmasch: There are 2 billion cars on the road now, the capacity of the auto industry is 100 million a year, this is a big industry, so it takes a long time to transform. Because the foundation of the automobile industry is too big. If technology were to take shape, it might be possible to produce driverless cars in five years, with technology to ensure the safety of driverless cars, compared to whether unmanned driving is safer than being driven.

Bill Gates, who wants to push the pilot as soon as possible, said companies like Microsoft would do the experiments in the world's most advanced cities, which would solve existing problems.

According to Baidu disclosed content, Baidu currently has two cars are carrying out automatic driving test, a car is based on the BMW White 3 Series GT Modified, a car is based on the red All Terrain SUV modified. Baidu Institute of in-depth learning laboratory to assume the prototype research and development of automatic driving car, research and development team less than 20 people, Baidu and BMW set up a joint project. Baidu said it would not make its own cars, it must choose to cooperate with carmakers, and there is no plan to enter the new energy vehicle sector.

When it comes to unmanned driving, like Baidu, Google, which makes its own search, is now mature enough to achieve mass production in 5 years. Of course, the traditional car companies are not idle, during a visit to China this week by the Swedish Prime Minister, the self-driving car developed by the Swedish Transport Authority and Volvo was measured in the East six ring road in Beijing, and officials from the Swedish Transport Administration also briefed the Chinese media on their intelligent transportation system. They plan to allow self-driving cars to travel around the city's Beltway in 2017, for which they are carrying out a series of complementary measures such as road layout improvement, said Andersley, an official at the Swedish Road Transport Administration.

Swedish Road and Transportation administration officials: if we are going to push the drone on a wider scale, we'll have to start revising the traffic regulations. At the heart of the possible revisions is that the law now requires drivers to control their cars, so how to define the word "control" will be a central issue. Then, there are two more complex problems, one is the car damage compensation problem. The problem is usually solved by the insurance system. They can be solved very easily. And if automatic driving violates the law, this poses another problem that we are now studying. But I personally think that automatic driving is very important to society, and society will find ways to make automatic driving a reality.

For automotive products, to achieve automatic driving must make the car highly intelligent and Internet, the industry believes that the future of automotive development is six-word trend of intelligence, interconnection and electric, North Steam New Energy Co., Ltd. General manager Zhenggang think,

Zhenggang: Now the internet car is very hot, internet companies outside the city want to attack, I am honored to be in town, but at the same time I also want to come out, the future of new energy vehicles will be the new energy and the Internet is an organic component, that is, the technology of PV and Internet, the realization of electric vehicles as mobile storage devices, Eventually we become an integral part of a triple-net fusion, which is our view of the internet car.

And in many domestic internet companies, in addition to Baidu, Tencent, Ali, music, such as the internet giants have related car projects, internet companies to build car heat is very high, the car industry commentator Ho Yujia that the Internet companies are now in their respective areas of expertise to penetrate into the automotive sector.

Ho Yujia: Internet companies believe that the trend is that the carrier of the Internet is divided into two categories, such as mobile phones, tablets and wearable equipment, the other is the car, the car in the future will be an important carrier of the Internet, these internet companies want to be able to enter here earlier, in this side layout, The Internet companies are now based on their own advantages into the automotive sector, the end of everyone's goal may be manufacturing, it is very likely, but now are in their own way to occupy the market.
