Chinese and American driverless cars without steering wheels are getting tough, which one is stronger?
On September 3rd, Musk's Cybercab made a mass appearance on the streets, igniting the world.
However, there is no steering wheel engineering test vehicle in China, and actual testing has been carried out in a closed park in Shanghai. The domestically produced 'Cybercab' has officially surfaced.
The two autonomous driving routes between China and the United States are facing each other head-on. Who will emerge victorious? We can find out from a comprehensive comparison of technology, cost, industrial chain, and mass production strength.
Tesla Cybercab | Pure Visual Route in the United States
Perception solution: Completely abandon LiDAR and rely on camera+FSD large model image inference.
✅ Advantages: Excellent algorithm performance in good road conditions and well lit environments; Native Robotaxi exclusive platform, simplified vehicle structure, and low cost.
❌ Short board: camera imaging is disturbed by environment during rainstorm, fog and strong backlight; Facing irregular obstacles on the road, relying solely on AI training samples without hardware protection, I personally feel that it is not safe enough ❗ ️
Industrial chain&mass production: highly self-developed algorithms; The advanced concept of vehicle manufacturing technology. However, most countries outside of the United States do not allow vehicles without steering wheels to be driven on the road, resulting in significant obstacles when landing overseas. Generated domestically in the United States, the cost is very high!
Zhiji No Steering Wheel Engineering Test Vehicle | China Multi Sensor Fusion Route
Perception solution: laser radar+millimeter wave radar+camera multi-sensor deep fusion.
✅ Advantages: Strong strength in complex road conditions such as rain, snow, heavy fog, strong backlight, and mixed traffic of people and vehicles. Lidar directly outputs three-dimensional point clouds without the need to identify objects, as long as there are obstacles in space, it can capture them directly. Multiple hardware supports each other, making it more suitable for complex traffic scenes in Chinese style. Huawei's new energy vehicles are a great example!
Cost performance ratio: Relying on the complete domestic new energy industry chain, domestically produced LiDAR has been widely installed and its price has become "cabbage like".
Industry Chain&Mass Production: China has the world's most complete new energy vehicle industry chain, with wire controlled chassis, LiDAR, and chips all achieving large-scale production and supply, and the supply chain is independently controllable.
So, the answer is simple:
The American route believes in algorithm supremacy, using software to combat physical limitations, and relying on minimalist hardware to lower the cost of bicycles.
The Chinese route relies on a strong and complete new energy industry chain, prioritizes hardware security redundancy, and has stronger reliability in harsh and complex scenarios.
Although Cybercab is a native unmanned rental platform, it is currently leading in mass production progress; And China's complete industrial system represents enormous potential for subsequent explosive growth, with a high probability of being a rising star and catching up from behind!
Which country's non steering wheel autonomous vehicles do you prefer?
I choose China 中国!
