Self-driving

The number has surpassed its US counterparts, with Alphabet's Waymo's Robotaxi fleet of about 800 vehicles.

Su Jing, who has held the position of head of Huawei's smart driving product division, will leave the company before the Chinese New Year, local media said.

The model will begin road testing in China this year and enter the daily operation of self-driving mobility services in the first half of 2023.

Pony.ai has begun road testing with the Nvidia DRIVE Orin, and the new computing unit will begin mass production by the end of 2022.

The platform will be built on Black Sesame's HuaShan-2 A1000 self-driving computing chip, with volume production targeted for 2022.

WeRide has also conducted simulations on its in-house developed platform, resulting in over 8 billion simulated test miles.

The two companies will collaborate on a lower cost, mass-production-ready L4 autonomous driving front-end solution based on solid-state LiDARs.

BYD is responsible for the development, testing, and production of the vehicle, and provides the blade battery, motor, and motor controller.

The combined testing mileage of self-driving vehicles in Beijing has exceeded 3 million kilometers.

These all-electric Robobuses have no steering wheel, accelerator pedal or brake pedal and operate seven days a week.
