This year’s hottest topic at the car show, besides the new cars, has to be “autonomous driving”. The WM Motor W6, the autonomous driving vehicle claiming to be the “first mass-produced L4 autonomous vehicle”, officially launched before the car show, and it seems like we were just discussing who was working hard to perfect L3 when L4 came out.
Not long after the WM Motor W6 was launched, Baidu Apollo invited me to the autonomous driving test open road in Anting, Shanghai, where I experienced the Baidu ANP function for about 10 kilometers.
The full name of Baidu ANP is Apollo Navigation Pilot, which is a pure visual L4 level city navigation driver assist system.
So, compared to the mass-produced WM Motor W6, although Baidu added many cameras and positioning modules to the test vehicle, including side front view, side rear view, and rear view, we will not see any shadow of LiDAR in this set of plans.
After watching the video, I’d like to ask you one question: who do you prefer between LiDAR and pure visual solution?
