Shanghai has made significant progress in the field of autonomous driving. An autonomous driving data collection fleet composed of 30 Zhiji L6 vehicles was launched in Pudong, marking Shanghai's new heights in the field of intelligent connected vehicles. This fleet will provide massive training data for large self-driving models and help Shanghai build an AI "molded city." Tang Wenkan, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, elaborated on Shanghai’s technical route based on “bicycle intelligence and vehicle-road-cloud collaboration as key support”, demonstrating Shanghai’s strategic layout and ambitions in the field of intelligent transportation. The article details Shanghai's comprehensive layout in the field of autonomous driving, including data collection and processing, training ground construction, and 5G-A Internet of Vehicles demonstration projects.
At a launch ceremony held in Pudong, the Shanghai High-Level Autonomous Driving Leading Zone welcomed a data collection fleet of 30 Zhiji L6 vehicles. This team will shoulder the important mission of providing training data for large-scale autonomous driving models, marking another key step that Shanghai has taken in the field of intelligent connected vehicles.
Tang Wenkan, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, elaborated on Shanghai's grand blueprint for building an AI "molding Shanghai" at the ceremony. He emphasized that Shanghai will take "bicycle intelligence as the basis and vehicle-road-cloud collaboration as the key support" as its technical route to comprehensively promote the ecological construction of the intelligent connected automobile industry.
It is understood that Shanghai’s layout in the field of autonomous driving can be described as comprehensive. First of all, through online ride-hailing and data collection vehicles from major car companies and technology companies, a complete data processing chain of "acquisition, washing, standardization, testing and use" has been established, and we are committed to creating tens of millions of autonomous driving data sets and Scene library. Secondly, an autonomous driving training platform is being built to integrate vehicle data, traffic light data and real-time traffic information across the city, and explore the use of world models to generate virtual scene data to provide support for model training and evaluation. Third, we took the lead in launching a 100-kilometer 5G-A Internet of Vehicles demonstration project in Jinqiao, Pudong, to conduct verification of typical application scenarios.
At present, Shanghai has achieved remarkable results in the field of autonomous driving testing. There are 1,003 open test roads in the city, with a total mileage of more than 2,000 kilometers. A total of 794 vehicles from 32 companies have obtained road test, demonstration application and demonstration operation licenses, with a cumulative test mileage of approximately 22.9 million kilometers and a test time of 1.22 million hours. These data fully demonstrate Shanghai’s determination and strength in promoting the development of autonomous driving technology.
Shanghai's continuous investment and remarkable results in the field of autonomous driving have laid a solid foundation for its future development in the field of intelligent transportation and also provided valuable experience and reference for other cities. It is believed that in the near future, Shanghai will become one of the world's leaders in autonomous driving technology, bringing a more intelligent, efficient and convenient experience to urban transportation.
