Li Yanhong said that this will pave the way for Baidu's autopilot research. Baidu’s autopilot research team in the United States announced earlier this year that its goal is to build a 100-person research team in Silicon Valley.
At the meeting, the CEO of graphics chip maker Nvidia, Huang Renxun, also announced that it will cooperate with Baidu to develop an autonomous driving platform that will be based on cloud computing high-definition maps and the ability to sense and react to different road environments.
Huang Renxun said that no company in the world can prove that it has the ability to integrate these systems and apply them on a large scale to autonomous vehicles. They will bring all the technical capabilities and expertise of artificial intelligence into reality.
Previously, Baidu and Ford jointly invested in the LiDAR laser radar component manufacturer Velodyne for $150 million. The LiDAR laser radar component is the core component of the autopilot system, and the cost of mass production is still very expensive.
On the other hand, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter on Wednesday that Tesla plans to release an upgrade of its semi-autopilot system Autopilot in a few weeks to improve the data processing of the radar system.
Zhitong Finance has learned that the new Autopilot system will improve radar signal processing capabilities and better detect certain previously difficult to detect objects in the event of ambient light, color or weather changes.
