Development and present situation of driverless technology

1, driverless cars are developing rapidly.

At present, the global driverless car industry has a good development trend, but few areas have been put into mass production. Driverless technology is developing together with 5G communication technology and related technologies of new energy vehicles. Leading international institutions are suspected of completing the research and development of driverless cars and entering the trial operation and debugging stage. At present, most domestic companies developing driverless cars are in the experimental stage, that is, the development of the industry is in its infancy.

With the continuous maturity of driverless technology and the introduction and adjustment of government policies, it is expected that driverless cars will develop in the industrial field first, then in the commercial field, and finally gradually develop into civilian use. It is estimated that around 2035, global driverless cars will gradually replace traditional cars and enter the explosive stage of sales.

2. Unmanned driving technology has made rapid progress.

At this stage, the main subdivision technologies of artificial intelligence for driverless cars include computer vision and deep learning. At the same time, hardware development based on sensors, high-speed chips and GPU is also an important sector in the field of unmanned research and development. Unmanned driving is the ultimate embodiment of intelligence. It uses computers, modern sensing, information fusion, communication, artificial intelligence and automatic control, and is a typical high-tech complex. With the continuous improvement of driverless technology, the market scale of driverless car industry will grow rapidly.

3. The willingness of driverless car customers still needs to be improved.

At present, most consumers hold a wait-and-see attitude towards buying driverless cars. The main factor lies in the technical maturity of driverless cars. Whether it can really break through the problem of driving safety has become the core issue that consumers care about. Therefore, there will be a wait-and-see period from the listing of vehicles to the large-scale purchase by consumers. Driverless cars need to raise consumer awareness and build consumer confidence in order to promote consumer purchases.

4. The market scale of driverless car industry in China has expanded rapidly.

According to Statista data, the market scale of China driverless car industry has rapidly expanded from 20 15 to 20 19. In 20 19, the market size of driverless cars in China reached 9.84 billion yuan, and the market size affected by the epidemic will decline in 2020, with a forward-looking estimate of 9.54 billion yuan. According to the forecast of Research And Markets, the global driverless car market will reach $27.3 billion in 20021year and $59.4 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 16.84%.

Although there are still various problems in the industrialization of driverless cars, driverless cars are essentially based on the gradual upgrading of active safety technology and intelligent technology. As long as there is continuous demand for these technologies in the market, they can promote the evolution of cars to completely driverless. In the future, the human transportation system will undergo earth-shaking changes. At this stage, the development of driverless technology focuses on assisted driving to improve the safety of manual driving. To truly realize completely unmanned commercial operation requires a breakthrough in artificial intelligence technology.

To sum up, there are still many technical barriers to be broken in the driverless car industry, but the overall industry scale is growing rapidly and has broad prospects.
