Talk about the distress of unmanned driving.

If you want to make a more intuitive evaluation of new things, the most objective thing is that you can experience it yourself.

In the early years, if unmanned driving was mentioned, everyone would think it was a distant thing. However, with the rapid development of automobile technology, especially the rapid improvement of artificial intelligence technology, when more and more artificial intelligence technologies begin to intervene in our lives, we will find that the once very distant driverless technology has now approached our lives step by step.

At present, L2-level autopilot technology is very mature and gradually popularized in many cars, and many vehicles are also equipped with L3-level autopilot technology. In other words, the feasibility of driverless technology has been preliminarily verified, and purer driverless technology has become a possibility of life.

I tested the brand-new Beijing car? Beijing X7 is equipped with mature L2 driverless technology. Here, I want to share with you some personal experiences of L2 driverless technology.

BAIC brand-new Jing X7 is a brand-new SUV launched by BAIC this year. It is equipped with L2 autonomous driving technology, which is said to be the most mature autonomous driving technology in the automobile market at present. Including adaptive cruise, lane warning, vehicle driver fatigue monitoring, automatic parking, vehicle remote control and other functions.

Automatic parking, remote control and other technologies have been widely used in automobiles, and the most relevant technologies for unmanned driving should be adaptive cruise and vehicle deviation warning technology, including fatigue monitoring of drivers in automobiles.

Therefore, the test drive of Xinjing X7 and its L2 unmanned driving are actually the main experiences of adaptive cruise and lane departure technology.

Although the sales consultant of BAIC told me that the adaptive cruise technology is very mature, I still dare not experience it on the road with a lot of vehicles. That's why I dare to try adaptive cruise slowly, drive to a path where there are basically no vehicles, and then follow another test car of BAIC.

The operation is simple. After adjusting the vehicle to adaptive cruise, both feet can indeed loosen the pedal. It's easy to release the accelerator pedal, but it's really challenging to release the brake pedal, especially when following the vehicle in front.

However, the adaptive cruise technology is really useful and liberates your feet. At first, you were really not used to it. However, after following the vehicle several times, you find that the vehicle in front slows down or stops. Adaptive cruise technology can really feel the state of the vehicle in front, adjust the driving speed and even brake.

However, when the driving of the vehicle is completely handed over to the on-board computer, we still need an adaptation process.

Lane departure warning technology is also very easy to use. After setting, there will be a stable resistance on the steering wheel. When the vehicle deviates, the stable resistance of the steering wheel will make the steering wheel ensure that the vehicle keeps driving in a straight line. Coupled with adaptive cruise technology, it is basically equivalent to unmanned driving.

After several experiences in places with few vehicles, it is found that this adaptive cruise and lane departure technology is actually very easy to use, and it is very convenient to drive after changing to places with relatively high traffic.

However, according to the current national laws and regulations, you can't leave the steering wheel when driving a vehicle. Therefore, although your feet are liberated and your hands don't have to use force, the current state should still be considered as a state driven by people.

Let's take a look at the difference between vehicles equipped with L2 driverless technology and ordinary vehicles. In fact, there are more cameras and radars, and then the on-board computer judges the road conditions by collecting information from several cameras and radars, and issues instructions for acceleration, deceleration or braking.

After this understanding, we can find that if the artificial intelligence technology is quite developed, it doesn't seem to be a very complicated thing to realize completely unmanned driving and fully automatic driving, just need to ensure the stability of the on-board computer.

But let's think about the elevator we are taking now. When the elevator first appeared, wasn't it manually operated? But after the technical improvement, we only need to input instructions, and the elevator can automatically run up and down, which is actually the same as a driverless car.

So, after the test drive of BAIC's brand-new Jing -X7, I thought? Driverless technology is not far away, because many applications are already in front of us.
