Liangdao Smart entered the market from testing and verification, and is a rare startup company that entered mass production projects of OEMs.
The development and iteration of autonomous driving functions depends on the improvement of sensing capabilities, and the sensor algorithm upgrade requires a large amount of labeled structured, high-quality data (based on lidar acquisition and labeling). It also needs to comply with international standards. Scene extraction capabilities to support the development of autonomous driving functions.
Beijing Liangdao Intelligent Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Liangdao Intelligent”) is a testing and verification service and data service provider for autonomous driving environment perception system. The company was established in 2017 with the goal of helping customers upgrade their perception algorithms to meet the requirements for mass production of autonomous driving, in order to achieve self-driving car function updates and self-adaptation. Current customers include domestic and foreign OEM vehicle customers (including emerging electric vehicles) Car companies), first-tier suppliers related to intelligent driving in the automotive industry, intelligent driving technology companies or participants in the field of intelligent driving, scientific research institutions, etc.
According to the information provided by the company, their general-purpose lidar algorithm developed by can mark data collected by high-line-number lidars commonly available in the market; their autonomously developed automated scene extraction tool can support sidecut scene Extraction of car following scenes and lane changing overtaking scenes.
At present, Liangdao Intelligence has set up big data centers in China and Germany. Through processing and analysis of large amounts of data, it extracts the behavior of traffic participants in real scenarios, summarizes local traffic conditions and driving habits, and builds a library of autonomous driving scenarios. .
Liangdao Smart has entered the market from testing and verification, and is one of the few startup companies that enters mass production projects of OEMs. The company, in cooperation with Libe system provider Ibeo and Great Wall Motors, will mass-produce the L3 autopilot mass production model WEY VV7 equipped with pure solid-state lidar by the end of 2021. To this end, Liangdao Intelligent will provide a full-stack service to test and verify the environmental awareness system before mass production of automated driving, and a “cloud data brain” service after the mass production of autonomous driving functions is implemented. It also provides data support and complete data tool chain products for the iterative awareness of autonomous driving, the upgrade of autonomous driving functions, and the determination of liability for autonomous driving insurance.
The relevant person in charge of Liangdao Intelligent told that by 2025, the number of Great Wall L3 autonomous driving mass-produced cars will exceed 300,000. After mass production of this project, high-quality 4D pure solid-state lidar data will be transmitted back for future “cloud data brain” training in perceptual decision-making algorithms. The quality of its data will be significantly better than the quality of the cameras and millimeter-wave radar data transmitted by L2 driver assistance production cars on the market, and the data scale will far exceed that of small-scale demonstration operation projects.
