As an important part of the 3rd World Smart Driving Challenge, the 3rd World Intelligent Driving Challenge adheres to the goal of “high starting point, mainstream entry, internationalization, and uniqueness”. The competition is sponsored by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, the State Internet Information Office, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the China Association for Science and Technology and the Tianjin Municipal People’s Government. It is organized by Research Center Co., Ltd., China Association of Productivity Promotion Centers, China Artificial Intelligence Society Intelligent Driving Professional Committee, and Tianjin Dongli District People’s Government.
This year’s World Intelligent Driving Challenge consists of “one competition, one meeting, and one display experience”. “One Competition” is the World Intelligent Driving Challenge – this event is dedicated to building a world-class smart car brand event, building a global smart car communication platform, and building an international technical practice evaluation standard. A series of three-dimensional, practical, and all-round evaluations, such as unmanned driving, provide authoritative, fair, and third-party services for the technological progress of smart cars, the exchange of standards and regulations, and the popular science of the public. It is reported that there are a total of 84 participating teams in this competition, among which there are four adjustments to the content of the competition: First, in terms of competition groups, three groups are set up: unmanned driving challenge, information security challenge and virtual scene challenge , no longer set up intelligent assistance competitions; second, the composition of the unmanned driving challenge has been adjusted from three competitions in the second session to four, including country cross-country races, highway races, urban block races and IEC extreme races, which are newly added this year The IEC extreme competition was launched to test the judgment ability of participating vehicles in terms of path planning and ethical dilemmas; the third is to adjust the number of scenes and scenes in the unmanned driving challenge. Among them, 16 scenes are set for the rural cross-country competition, and 16 scenes are set for the urban block competition. 21 scenes are set up, 5 scenes are set for the highway race, and 3 scenes are set for the IEC extreme race. The change of the scene increases the difficulty of the competition to meet the development needs of intelligent networked vehicle technology; the fourth is the information security challenge The competition system has been changed, and there are four stages of preliminary competition, rematch, final and play-offs. The play-offs can be selected according to the team’s own situation. The change of the competition system has improved the appreciation of the event.
“Yihui” is the World Intelligent Driving Industry Forum – the forum focuses on the fields of artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, Internet of Vehicles and information security, policy standards and legal ethics, shared travel and smart transportation, and focuses on the commercialization of intelligent networked vehicles. For the purpose of discussion, discuss the development process of intelligent and networked automobile technology, share the achievements of industrial innovation and cooperation, and jointly plan the application prospects. Li Deyi, Chairman of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Li Chaochen, Chairman of the China Intelligent Transportation Association, Yu Kai, Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman and General Manager of China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd., Xia Xin, Secretary of the Dongli District Committee of Tianjin, China Automotive Li Wei, deputy general manager of Technology Research Center Co., Ltd., Deng Weiwen, director of the Intelligent Driving Professional Committee of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence, George A. Giannopoulos, member of the Athens Academy of Sciences, Wang Feiyue, director of the Key Laboratory of Complex System Management and Controller, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jiangling Engineering Chen Liwei, deputy director of the Intelligent Electronics Development Department of the Research Institute, Wu Gansha, co-founder of Uisee Technology, Ni Kai, founder and CEO of Heduo Technology, and other leaders, as well as domestic and foreign experts will attend the forum.
“One Demonstration Experience” is a demonstration experience project of the world’s intelligent driving technology – the exhibition experience project is set in various types of scenes such as closed parks, urban open roads and real highways, and mainly focuses on static product exhibitions related to intelligent networked vehicles Demonstration, unmanned minibus and autonomous taxi (RoboTaxi) test ride experience, unmanned logistics vehicle application experience, unmanned passenger vehicle demonstration on the highway, V2X vehicle formation, 5G remote automatic driving demonstration, etc. A series of activities will be displayed to enhance the close-range interactive experience between unmanned vehicles and the general public, comprehensively promote the process of industrialization of unmanned vehicles, and open the first year of commercial operation of intelligent networked vehicles. It is reported that there are a total of 16 participating institutions in the World Intelligent Driving Technology Demonstration Experience Project, including FAW Pentium, Heduo Technology, Leishen Intelligent, Autoware Foundation & Hong Kong Productivity Council, AutoCore UK, China FAW Intelligent Network Development Institute, TierIV, Yu Enterprises and institutions such as Daowujia, Jingdong X Business Unit, Jiangling New Energy, 51VR, and Integrated Command and Dispatching Laboratory participated in the event.
During the event, hundreds of industry leaders and professional scholars in the field of intelligent driving participated in the observation. The competition will be covered by hundreds of domestic and foreign media including CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, and China Daily, presenting a world-class feast of intelligent driving technology to the public.
