· Baidu teamed up with Chery to push new driverless cars

According to foreign media reports on August 28, Baidu unveiled the mystery of the new all-electric driverless car, which is the perfect combination of Baidu's driverless technology and Chery's improved EQ car. . Previously, Baidu had applied its own AutoBrain software to the improved BMW 3 Series. The software is at the heart of Baidu's driverless technology, with automated components such as driving maps, detection, location, control and planning decisions.
The BMW 3 Series driverless car is able to automatically change lanes, turns and high-speed parallels. Last year, it completed a trial of 18.6 miles (about 29.93 kilometers). The improved version of the Chery EQ will continue the performance of AutoBrain. A Baidu spokesperson said the car was designed specifically for the Chinese market. Baidu will bring its driverless technology to a country and work with local car manufacturers.
At present, Baidu is planning to promote the driverless car to enter the transfer service field and achieve this goal in 2018. Now, the company is drawing route information for the car, such as the height of traffic lights, and where to set limits.
Compared with the BMW 3 Series, Chery EQ is smaller, but the price is more close to the people. Coupled with government incentives, the all-electric Chery EQ market is priced at $9,000 (about 60,228 yuan).
In early August, Baidu cooperated with Ford to jointly invest 150 million US dollars (about 1.003 billion yuan) in the laser radar company Velodyne LiDAR. Velodyne LiDAR is a Silicon Valley technology company that has been developing technologies for light, detection and ranging since 2005. Velodyne LiDAR has reduced the cost of its lidar system from $80,000 ($535,360) to around $8,000 (about 53,536 yuan), an investment that reduces the budget for lidar sensors and further reduces driverlessness. The production cost of the car.
