Local time on February 26, leading the world in unmanned California, also sent a heavy message.
The California Motor Vehicle Administration (DMV) introduced a new test drive deployment for autonomous vehicles that allows for truly unmanned tests where autonomous companies driving companies on California roads no longer have to arrange pilots in the driver's seat And will begin issuing the first permits on April 2. The move opens the door to companies such as Waymo, General Motors and others, which are accelerating the commercial deployment of fully autonomous vehicles.
In recent years, due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles are considered to be one of the most widely used and potential scenarios for artificial intelligence in the future.More and more countries provide more comprehensive rules for autonomous driving.The United States is The first country to liberalize the road test for autonomous driving is Germany. The United Kingdom, Sweden, Japan, China and other countries have all encouraged and regulated the autonomous driving test.
However, the previous rule almost always required that autonomous driving cars have to be properly supervised by the driver on the road, away from the real 'driverless.' California's new regulations mean formal commercialization of autonomous driving technology One step.
As early as May 30, 2013, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a guidance document, "Opinions on Laws for Autonomous Vehicles," proposing legislation on autonomous driving cars in states that make it clear that autonomous driving on cars Driving must be the appropriate driver supervision, autonomous driving car on the road can only be used for experimental purposes, etc. At present, the United States is actively promoting the autonomous driving car related legislation.United States House of Representatives passed the Autonomous Driving Proposal in September last year (Self Drive Act) to allow companies to manufacture and deploy vehicles that do not have traditional controls such as pedals and steering wheels.
In order to encourage and regulate public roads to test automatic driving technology, the Cabinet Office of Japan announced the test of autonomous driving cars on some of the expressways and private test roads in Japan from September 2017 to March 2019. The Japanese Police Agency, as the "Road Traffic Safety Law "Law enforcement agencies in October 2015 organized a study on autonomous driving technology policy issues, published a research report in May 2016 and promulgated the" Autonomous Driving Road Test Guide. "In June 2017, the Japanese police The Office issued the "Benchmark for Road Test Permits for Remote Autonomous Driving Systems" to allow cars to go on-the-road testing without driver's seat.
Since 2014, the German government has begun to attach importance to autonomous driving technology and planned a section of the A9 road test for driverless cars in 2015. In May last year, Germany was prepared to allow autonomous driving Vehicles sailed off the highway, allowing them to carry out road tests on regular roads.
Since January 2015, the UK has officially allowed autonomous driving of cars on the road, but requires all system software to go through a wide range of simulation tests before conducting closed road or dedicated site testing before it can be used for public road testing; on-the-road testing of automatic Driving a car must be supervised by a driver and can be switched to manual driving at any time Sweden also has legislation that allows autonomous vehicles to drive on the road for the purpose of testing.
On February 2, Beijing Municipal Commission of Communications jointly issued the "Contents and Methods of Automated Driving Road Test Capability Assessment (Trial)" (the "Method") and Relevant technical documents According to the new rules, an independent legal entity registered in China may apply for the temporary driving on a self-driving vehicle, which is the first landing measure in China that recognizes and legitimizes autonomous driving technology. Enabling some auto companies that actively deploy autonomous driving technology to have the technical standards to follow.
Although in general, autonomous vehicles are not recognized by law in most countries and regions in the world, in recent years more and more countries and regions have seen that autonomous vehicles are the trend of traffic development and are beginning to pass legislation Encourage and regulate, support and guide its development.
Just six months, Baidu's chairman and chief executive Robin Lee took the driverless car on the road was eating tickets experience will be history.
With policy support and industry push, autonomous driving will accelerate as the 5G accelerates, the cost of sensors plummets, and technologies such as high-precision maps, V2X and AI algorithms progress.
