百度試水無人駕駛車 五環路測成功
Chinese search engine giant Baidu announced on Friday that its driverless car has finished road tests and succeeded in automatic driving in mixed road conditions.
本週五,中國的搜尋引擎巨頭百度宣佈,百度無人駕駛汽車已完成路測,成功實現混合路況下的全自動駕駛。The test vehicle left the Baidu building in Beijing Zhongguancun Science Park and drove to the Olympic Forest Park via the G7 Beijing-Urumqi highway and the Fifth Ring Road before returning via the same route.
百度無人駕駛車從中關村軟體園百度大廈附近出發,駛入G7京新高速公路,經五環路,抵達奧林匹克森林公園,隨後按原路線返回。The vehicle reached a top speed of 100km/hr during the test, according to the u said the test was completed with a driver in the car who would take control of the vehicle in case of emergency.
據百度公司稱,無人駕駛車在測試中最高時速達100公里。百度還說測試時車上有一名駕駛員,以防有緊急情況發生時能操控車輛。
Launched in 2013, the company's driverless car project is based on the core "Baidu car brain" technology, which includes high-precision electronic mapping, positioning and decision-making systems.
百度無人駕駛車專案於2013年起步,其技術核心是“百度汽車大腦”,包括高精度地圖、定位、感知、智慧決策與控制四大模組。"Automatic driving faces challenges in a variety of driving conditions such as bad weather and congestion," said Wang Jin, senior vice president of Baidu.
“自動駕駛汽車面臨駕駛路況多樣化的巨大挑戰,比如惡劣天氣和交通擁堵。” 百度高階副總裁王勁說。"It is a great challenge to test in Beijing, a city with so many complicated road conditions, but luckily we made it," said Wang.
他還說,“在北京這種複雜的路況上完成全自動駕駛,挑戰尤其巨大,但幸運的是我們成功了。”Baidu announced its plan to develop a driverless car in June. It has previously worked on "semi-autonomous" cars with German automaker BMW.
百度公司於今年6月公佈了它的無人駕駛汽車研發計劃。百度之前已與德國寶馬汽車公司合作,開發“輔助自動”駕駛汽車。The driverless car is scheduled to make its debut at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen Township in east China's Zhejiang Province from Dec.16 to 18.
這款無人駕駛汽車計劃在12月16日-18日在中國東部浙江烏鎮的世界網際網路大會上首次亮相。IT companies such as Google and Apple are working with auto manufacturers including Toyota and Tesla to develop their own driverless cars. In May 2014, Google presented a concept for a driverless car without a steering wheel or pedals and unveiled a fully functioning prototype in December of that year.
像谷歌和蘋果這樣的網際網路公司也正在與汽車製造商比如豐田、特斯拉合作,以研發他們自己的無人駕駛汽車。2014年5月,谷歌公司提出了一個無方向盤、無操作踏板的無人駕駛汽車概念,並於同年12月展示了一個完全自動駕駛汽車的原型。
