On April 28th, Beijing issued a notice of unmanned manned demonstration application. Baidu became the first approved enterprise, and its self-driving travel service platform Radish Kuaipao officially opened unmanned self-driving travel service. According to Wei Dong, vice president and chief safety operation officer of Baidu Intelligent Driving Group, a major feature of this new regulation is that the autopilot service of "no one behind the steering wheel" was released for the first time in China's megacities.
The Detailed Rules for the Administration of Unmanned Road Testing and Demonstration Application of Passenger Cars in Beijing Intelligent Networked Vehicle Policy Pioneer Zone, which was formulated and issued by Beijing Intelligent Networked Vehicle Policy Pioneer Zone, stipulates that the demonstration application subject who has received the notice can carry out unmanned self-driving manned demonstration application on open roads within 6 square kilometers of Beijing High-level Self-driving Demonstration Zone. On the basis of unmanned road test, the Implementation Rules put forward higher requirements for the safety management, network and data security, risk response and other aspects of the test subject.
in an interview with reporters including beiqing daily, Wei dong said that one of the major changes of the new regulations is that the safety officers who were originally in the driver's seat will be cancelled, and according to the requirements of the new regulations, they will continue to ensure vehicle safety by sitting in the co-driver's seat. He said that Baidu has already realized the unmanned driving experience in technology. In the next step, I hope that security officers will continue to reduce the intervention on vehicles and make them smarter.
Previously, the reporter found that the experience of hitting an unmanned vehicle through "radish running" is very similar to that of online car-riding, but passengers can only sit in the back row at present. Even if unmanned vehicles pass through the intersection with the most complicated traffic environment and the highest density of people and vehicles, they can easily cope with these complicated traffic environments.
this time, Baidu has carried out unmanned manned demonstration application according to the requirements of the detailed rules for implementation, and invested 1 unmanned vehicles in the first batch, and plans to add 3 unmanned vehicles in the follow-up. At this point, Baidu has the largest unmanned fleet in China. At the same time, Baidu actively meets the technical challenges of Beijing's complex road scenes, and guarantees passengers' travel safety and ride experience in all aspects under the guarantee of bicycle intelligence, monitoring redundancy, parallel driving and a complete travel service system.
In November last year, Baidu Apollo won the first domestic automatic driving charge order, and officially started commercial operation in Yizhuang area. The reporter saw that "Radish Run" was in the pilot stage of commercialization of some sections in Yizhuang, and it was charged according to the starting price of 18 yuan and the mileage fee of 4 yuan/km (after exceeding 1 km). However, at present, "Radish Run" is also issuing a large number of coupons, and the amount paid per trip is as low as that in 1 yuan.
According to reports, at present, orders increase obviously in the morning and evening peak hours, mainly serving for short-and medium-distance commuter connections. Wei Dong said that since the radish express charging, the number of new users is still increasing, and the number of high-frequency trial passengers is also increasing, which shows that the charging has little impact on the business. He also revealed that in the long run, the pricing of radish running will be higher than that of ordinary network car.
It is understood that relying on the solid accumulation of 27 million kilometers of road test mileage in 9 years, Baidu Radish Run has achieved self-driving manned travel service in megacities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and has become the largest self-driving travel service provider in the world. In the fourth quarter of 221 alone, the number of manned orders for radish running has reached 213,, and this figure is still growing at a high speed in 222.

On April 28th, the Detailed Rules for the Administration of Unmanned Road Testing and Demonstration Application of Passenger Cars in the Pioneer Area of Beijing Intelligent Networked Automobile Policy (hereinafter referred to as the "Detailed Rules") was officially released, which means that the unmanned passenger car operation pilot was launched for the first time in China. The first batch will invest 14 unmanned vehicles to carry out demonstration applications, and Baidu and Xiaoma Zhixing will become the first enterprises to obtain the notice of road test for unmanned demonstration applications in the pioneer area.
It is reported that in October last year, the Municipal Autopilot Office formulated and issued the Detailed Rules for the Management of Unmanned Road Testing in Beijing Intelligent Networked Vehicle Policy Pioneer Zone. Since the detailed rules were put into operation in the policy pioneer zone for half a year, the mileage of self-driving road testing has exceeded 8, kilometers, and the vehicles are in good running condition without any safety accidents, which also laid a solid foundation for this open unmanned operation.
The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Self-driving Office said that this pilot is open to unmanned manned passengers with safety officers in the co-pilot. The relevant policy content is a phased summary and sublimation of the existing unmanned road test policy for intelligent networked passenger cars, and it is also an exploration of unmanned operation and service mode.
Innovation and optimization mainly include four aspects: First, take the lead in opening a new stage of unmanned passenger car operation. From the aspects of mileage, order quantity, safe operation requirements, user tips, mobile Application app, etc., clear access requirements were made for the applicant, test vehicle and safety officer. For the first time in the country, qualified applicants were allowed to carry out unmanned demonstration applications and commercial pilot activities through policy guidance, which laid a good foundation for exploring unmanned business models.
the second is to improve the requirements of unmanned whole process management. According to the characteristics of the three stages of road testing, the mileage indicators are refined and upgraded, the proportion of automatic driving mileage and safe operation indicators are added, and a scientific access system is built from multiple dimensions. In the illegal handling, learn from the mature management experience of the traffic control department, and explore the integral management mechanism for illegal vehicles and applicants.
the third is to enhance the comprehensiveness and flexibility of technical testing. Aiming at the scenarios and problems such as unmanned operation site docking, passenger information security at the vehicle end, and safety risks that are prone to separation, different testing methods and methods such as closed site, laboratory and simulation are flexibly selected, which not only meets the technical requirements but also reduces the cost of enterprises.
the fourth is to provide a wider range of technical verification space. After the release of this policy, the unmanned open area will be expanded from 2 square kilometers in the previous period to 6 square kilometers in the core area of the Economic Development Zone, providing richer test scenarios for test vehicles and supporting the comprehensive verification and iterative update of unmanned technology.
It is reported that the release of the "Detailed Rules for Implementation" marks the official opening of the application for unmanned demonstration application of intelligent networked passenger cars in Beijing, and has entered a new stage of unmanned development of intelligent networked passenger cars. At present, the pioneer zone has started the last stage of research on unmanned policy, that is, the research on manned demonstration policy without safety personnel in the car. In the future, the car will be completely unmanned through long-distance driving by safety personnel, and enterprises will continue to be supported to carry out unmanned technology iteration and business model innovation. Beijing allows self-driving vehicles to cancel the driver's seat. 3
Unmanned automatic driving has ushered in new progress.
On April 28th, Titanium Media APP4 reported that Baidu and Xiaoma Zhixing took the lead in obtaining the first batch of notices of "unmanned demonstration application road test" in Beijing Intelligent Networked Automobile Policy Pioneer Zone, and were allowed to provide the public with the self-driving travel service of "the main driver has no safety officer and the co-driver has safety officer".
This means that the autonomous driving industry has begun to move from unmanned road testing to unmanned commercialization.
Peng Jun, co-founder and CEO of Xiaoma Zhixing, said: "The issuance of unmanned manned demonstration applications is a key policy node in the transition from unmanned road testing to unmanned commercialization pilot, and it also carries industrial and technical significance."
according to the detailed rules for the management of unmanned road test and demonstration application of passenger cars in Beijing intelligent networked automobile policy pioneer zone (hereinafter referred to as the detailed rules) formulated and issued by Beijing intelligent networked automobile policy pioneer zone, the demonstration application subject who has received the notice can carry out unmanned self-driving manned demonstration application on open roads within 6 square kilometers of Beijing high-level self-driving demonstration zone.
titanium media APP noticed that this demonstration applied the management implementation rules and expanded the test scope from the original 2 square kilometers to 6 square kilometers, which included richer and more complex urban road scenes, and put forward higher requirements for self-driving vehicles.
This time, Baidu and Xiaoma Zhixing, which were the first to receive the notice of "Unmanned Demonstration Application Road Test", are both experienced players in the autonomous driving industry, and have successively carried out autonomous driving manned travel services in many parts of the country.
Baidu, in accordance with the requirements of the Implementation Rules, launched unmanned manned demonstration applications. Baidu invested 1 unmanned vehicles in the first batch, and plans to add another 3 unmanned vehicles in the follow-up.
It is reported that Baidu Radish Run has achieved self-driving manned travel service in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other megacities. In the fourth quarter of 221 alone, the number of manned orders for radish running has reached 213,.
In terms of Xiaoma Zhixing, Xiaoma Zhixing has started the unmanned test of "removing the safety officer" of the main driver in Beijing, Guangzhou and other cities, and gradually expanded the test scope, time period and vehicle scale. At the beginning of this month, Xiaoma won the bid for the 222 taxi capacity index in Nansha District, Guangzhou, becoming the first self-driving company in China to obtain a taxi business license.
As of April 222, Xiaoma Zhixing has completed 2, kilometers of autonomous driving unmanned test mileage in China.
