From June 26th to 27th, 2021, IM held its second Tech Day offline user exchange event at the Wanda Plaza on Wu Zhong Road in Shanghai. The two special guest speakers were IM’s intelligent driving product experience design expert, Tuo Yue, and its intelligent driving system architecture expert, Dr. He Jinpeng.
1. About ADAS hardware configuration
IM L7, expected to be delivered in Q1 of next year, will be equipped with 12 cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and Xavier chip from NVIDIA which will provide 30 TOPS algorithm computing capability. In Q2 of 23, IM will offer angel round car owners who have paid the pre-order deposit a free upgrade to two NVIDIA Orin chips and two equivalent 128-line solid-state lidars installed on the roof of the car. Dr. He Jinpeng said that the chip interfaces and cooling waterways have been matched and future non-destructive upgrades will be supported.
2. IM AD IM
Tuo Yue said that IM’s intelligent driving relies on user-driven vehicles to feedback data generated from real road conditions to the cloud, and iteratively improve the driving ability through data-driven systems driven by algorithms, rather than solving corner case driving strategies one by one in a rule-based manner by a large number of engineers.
3. ADAS modes
IM AD has four modes, among which the first three preset modes correspond to different driving aggressiveness and overtaking strategies, while the last one is the industry’s first adaptive mode. By providing different driving styles, it can meet the needs of more diverse driving abilities and habits.
4. Trusted enhanced experience
Another innovative feature in the automotive industry is the visualization logic of confidence level, which displays three levels of confidence similar to Wi-Fi signal icons, enabling car owners to have a clearer understanding of the status of their vehicle’s assisted driving. Each downgrade is accompanied by different levels of prompts to improve the user experience quality.
