Gao De map to dream of driving automatically?

"As the map and navigation industry NO.1 and NO.1 in the field of differential positioning services, this collaboration of Gaode Map and Chihiro location will create the strongest high-precision positioning solution for all fields, all scenes and deep integration. After an inventory of the development history of vehicle positioning technology, Gao De Maps CEO Wei Dong said his judgment: "Precise positioning will become the next tipping point."

Based on this judgment, on August 17, the high-tech map of the Internet map navigation and location information service provider and the Chihiro location providing accurate location services announced a strategic cooperation. The two parties will jointly provide customers with comprehensive services of “high-precision map + high-precision positioning”. In addition, the integrated solution for autopilot developed by the two companies will be available soon during the year.

In Weidong's view, the relationship between positioning and map is "the scale does not leave." "Without positioning, there will be no electronic map, and there will be no high-precision map without high-precision positioning." At the same time, the Internet is always concerned about the Internet of Things and the field of autonomous driving. "There is no drone without high-precision positioning and high-precision maps."

According to reports, after the cooperation agreement officially takes effect, Gaode Map and Chihiro location will carry out comprehensive technical integration, and promote a series of joint development to achieve deep integration of high-precision maps and high-precision positioning capabilities, and help the rapid development of the autopilot industry. More ambitious than the average car company, the Gaode map and the Chihiro location have also set a grand ambition to become the infrastructure of the future smart travel system.

As a precision location service company jointly funded by China Ordnance Industry Group and Alibaba Group, Chihiro location not only has the “Big Tree” of Beidou Navigation Satellite System, but also seeks to enhance the system, Internet sensor and intelligence through Beidou Foundation. Computation and other services, integration and construction of a location service cloud platform to meet the needs of the country, industry, mass market for precise location services.

“To truly enable self-driving cars and realize smart travel, positioning business must be more precise and faster.” Chen Jinpei, CEO of Chihiro, said that through ground-based augmentation systems, errors caused by ionospheric signal interference will be eliminated and utilized. Sensors such as vision and gyroscopes eliminate positioning errors that are easy to occur in special scenes such as basements and viaducts.

As an Internet company dedicated to “turning precision space-time capabilities into public services”, Chihiro’s location, like the Gaode map, has become a core supplier to many auto companies. According to reports, since the investment and in-depth study of the Internet of Vehicles in 2006, Gaode has provided platform online map services, POI search services, dynamic traffic information services to many partners, and launched the first Internet car navigation - Gao De map Car version. At present, almost all domestic mainstream automobile brands including Changan, Geely, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and BMW have cooperated with Gaode based on online navigation and location information services. When asked, "Which auto companies have chosen the new auto-driving business provided by Chihiro and Gould?" said Yan Lei, director of the Chihiro location smart driving division. "You can almost imagine all businesses."

It is worth noting that Wei Donggang asserted at the press conference that “automatic driving requires centimeter-level positioning”. On the other hand, Chen Jinpei made a military order on behalf of both parties. “In 2018, the centimeter-level positioning service was covered throughout China; in 2019, the rice level was realized. Service coverage worldwide."

According to reports, the current Chihiro location is based on the high-precision positioning service provided by the Beidou satellite positioning system. Relying on the “one national network” and powerful independent research and development algorithms composed of 1,450 ground-based reinforcement stations all over the country, Chihiro location can provide accurate stopping and heading control functions for vehicles in most parts of the country 24 hours a day. . Gaode Map has established a strong advantage in the field of high-precision maps. At present, it has completed high-precision map collection of highways nationwide, and established a high-precision map UGC system and automated data production model of “autonomous acquisition + crowdsourcing collection”. It realizes the automatic process from data discovery, scheduling, collection, processing to online.

In Chen Jinpei's vision, the Chihiro location and Gaode map will be combined with other integrated terminals such as automobile companies and shared bicycles to build an "iron triangle" matrix of space-time services.

In fact, it is not difficult to find out a little bit about the development trend of global autonomous driving and smart travel. It is not alone to dream of “precision positioning and accurate map service become the new cornerstone of autonomous driving auto”.

As early as 2015, Germany's three major auto giants - Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi - joined forces to acquire Nokia's Here map business for about $3.2 billion. Interestingly, the map of Here has also triggered the bidding of Internet giants such as Baidu and Uber. The German top three, which has always been stunned in the auto market, has actually “reconciled the gun head to the outside world”, which is enough to show high-precision maps to the current car. The importance of the industry.

Some analysts pointed out that the map of Here, which provides about 80% of road information for cars in Europe and the United States, not only allows Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi to reduce costs, is no longer subject to people or even form trade barriers; more importantly, the acquisition also has Helping the German top three in the future smart car market competition to take the lead.

With the continuous improvement of the level of autonomous driving, more and more manufacturers realize that to continuously strengthen the vehicle's ability to cope with road complexities and handle massive data, we cannot rely solely on the "sensor + control system" solution. The deep integration of "high-precision map + high-precision positioning" will play an increasingly important role. Therefore, in a sense, map services have become an indispensable part of the automotive industry chain.

In such an industry background, the cooperation between Gaode Map and Chihiro location will become a bold attempt to integrate the domestic automobile industry chain.

It is understood that an important part of the strategic cooperation between the two parties is to combine the two advantages and jointly develop a comprehensive solution for TIer 1 manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers. This solution can not only help unmanned vehicles achieve their own precision in real time. Positioning, but also timely and accurate understanding of the surrounding environment information, on the basis of making up for the lack of relative positioning technology such as laser radar, to reduce the industry costs on a large scale, and promote the early marketization of driverless technology. According to Wei Dong, the product will be listed as soon as possible within the year.

Different from the previous cooperation focusing on individual projects, the Gaode map and Chihiro location promoted all-round deep cooperation covering the data layer, algorithm layer, positioning service layer, hardware service layer and application layer. Thanks to HD data collection cooperation, cloud computing and automated crowdsourcing systems, targets such as “more accurate initial map information collection” and “data real-time update” are expected to be realized quickly.

“High-precision map + high-precision positioning service will become the necessary foundation for building a smart transportation system.” Wei Dong said, “Gao De is committed to summarizing all kinds of travel big data, and comprehensive analysis and processing in the cloud to achieve the upgrade to the AI ​​2.0 era. I believe that the integration of Chihiro's high-precision positioning capability will provide more powerful data and algorithm support for the entire system, and further enhance people's travel experience." Chen Jinpei said that with the arrival of the Internet of Things era, "high-precision map + The High-precision Positioning service is fully empowering the entire travel industry.

Not long ago, the Economist magazine issued a document saying that "China has become a global leader in artificial intelligence." At the beginning of the article, two examples are listed: In January of this year, former Microsoft executive Lu Qi joined Baidu as chief operating officer; shortly thereafter, the International Artificial Intelligence Association delayed the holding of the annual meeting due to the Chinese New Year holiday.

Now, with Baidu’s software platform called “Apollo”, it is open to all partners in the automotive industry and autonomous driving, and the high-tech map and the Chihiro location are joining forces to enter the field of autonomous driving. The assertion of Scholars seems to have more and more evidence.

There is no doubt that China is at the forefront of the world in certain areas of artificial intelligence. However, from mobile payment to autonomous vehicles, the development of artificial intelligence is increasingly inseparable from the support of traditional industrial systems.

When the booming Chinese Internet company encounters the self-owned brand car that has risen through the rough and the rise, can it raise the banner of the global automobile industry revolution and take the lead in autonomous driving? At a time when there is no breakthrough technological revolution and relevant laws and regulations are still not perfect, it is not easy for people to make judgments.

However, with Internet companies such as Baidu, Gaode and Chihiro, which have made great achievements in their respective fields, more and more independent brands that have solved their survival problems have begun to “look at the sky”, at least let people see one. Kind of possibility.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, an accounting firm and professional services firm, by 2030, growth related to artificial intelligence will increase global GDP by $16 trillion. It is estimated that nearly half of this "windfall" will flow to China.

Imagine that one day, China has 100 million vehicles and one billion mobile phones. The smart travel system based on self-driving cars will surely become the infrastructure for all people to survive. This is enough to convince Gould, Chihiro and the car companies to pick up their sleeves and cheer.
