With the explosive growth trend of artificial intelligence, it has not only become a talking point for many industries, but has also been hailed as the fourth industrial revolution both inside and outside the industry. So, what is the status quo of the development of artificial intelligence? What is the main application area? What role in the industry can play? Recently, SingDai car CEO Shen Haisong came to the Shanghai Pudong Cadre Academy to share his views on artificial intelligence and automatic driving.

Speaking of artificial intelligence, it dates back to the middle of the last century. In 1951, Marvin Minsky and Dunne Edmond succeeded in building the world's first neural network computer. This move also allowed Marvin Mins The foundation was later known as the 'father of artificial intelligence'. In 1956, computer expert John McCarthy formally proposed the term 'artificial intelligence', from which the artificial intelligence development officially ushered in the first peak.
For more than 60 years, artificial intelligence has been sinking in the long river of history. In 1997, IBM's DeepBlue beat the chess champion Garry Kasparov; in 2016, AlphaGo Lee from Google defeated human Go. Champion - South Korea's Li Shishi; AlphaGo Lee was later defeated by his junior AlphaGo Zero. At present, AlphaGo Zero has reached an unprecedented height through self-learning, which also represents a further step in the field of artificial intelligence.
At present, artificial intelligence technology is not only used in the field of robotics, but also is widely equipped in the car. Shen Haixi said: 'In the automotive industry, from the application point of view, AI technology in smart driving, human-computer interaction, car networking and other related automotive The fields have been used in a lot of applications.
How does autopilot achieve this? Shen Haixin believes that autopilot is currently divided into three areas: perception-planning-control, and they all need to be matched with the vehicle itself. For example, radars that allow vehicles to see farther are distributed in Cameras in various corners of the car body, as well as some short-range ultrasonic radars, etc., which together constitute the core perception unit of automatic driving.
These sensors carried by the vehicle can detect the surrounding environmental information of the vehicle in real time, including various kinds of environmental information such as traffic lights, traffic landmarks, and obstacles, etc., and pass it to the control unit. Through the fusion of mutual information, they can make autonomous decisions for the vehicle. And planning, and passing instructions to the implementing agency to complete autopilot.

What Singularity Automotive is doing is to use artificial intelligence technology to build a smart car. For traditional models, its hardware is immutable, but after entering the age of smart cars, smart cars will use software to define hardware. Give the hardware different functions and meanings. For example, the brake of a traditional model has only one curve. When the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brake pedal force output by the vehicle is fixed. The singularity point car has multiple brake curves, for example, Sunny curves, rainy days curves, etc., can control braking force according to different weather and environment.
Singularity Car also added sensors to the tires of vehicles, which can be used to understand the conditions of each road in the city, such as which streets are smooth and which are pits. The collection of these data can better manage the roads of the city without increasing costs. To promote the construction of smart cities.
Shen Haixi also stated: “Singularity car has been doing a lot of things. The most important thing is to rationalize the car brain. On the one hand, we have realized the transition from L2 to L3 through smart driving technology, and on the other hand we have achieved more humanization. The control experience. According to statistics, in traffic accidents, fatigue caused by fatigue driving is more than 50%. Singularity car has installed multiple cameras in the car and uses computer vision to detect the state of the face. When the driver enters a fatigue state, the vehicle will automatically issue an alarm and automatically turn on the air purifier. At the same time, the temperature of the air conditioner will be reduced and the air volume will be increased to reduce the driver's fatigue. If these do not work, the vehicle can also be automatically safe. Parking at the place, greatly reducing the accident rate.

The popularization of smart driving is the key to smart city traffic construction. Through the continuous expansion of the entire urban cloud network, smart cars based on AI big data can more clearly obtain real-time road conditions, road information, pedestrian information, etc. Smart cars and smart cities The integration will create a beautiful blueprint for human beings in science and technology life. This is also the wishful thinking of Singularity Motors to make every trip a beautiful memory.
