According to foreign media reports, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak recently said that he has lost confidence in autonomous driving, although he had hoped that Apple could build the world's first self-driving car.
Steve believes that autonomous vehicles without steering wheels are at least impossible at this stage because the roads are not ready for self-driving cars. However, he recognized the "assisted driving" technology, which allows cars to "see red lights and stop signs to avoid some of today's accidents."
However, the self-driving car is a huge project, the construction of related supporting facilities, the formulation of laws and regulations, the breakthrough of vehicle technology, the construction of 5G base stations, etc., all take time to solve. To truly make autonomous vehicles safely on the road, all walks of life need to work together to complete the work of road coordination.
At present, car companies are working in parallel on bicycle intelligence and road coordination. Vehicle coordination requires more technical support and financial support, and is a more comprehensive layout. The bicycle is intelligent, and it needs to be equipped with various types of on-board sensors to realize the automatic driving function of a single car. Before the era of vehicle and road coordination has not fully arrived, bicycle automation should be the main form of expression to meet the needs of intelligent driving. When the road and the road work work layout is completed, the future automatic driving or the vehicle road coordination and the bicycle intelligent mixing mode.
In the field of automatic driving, Apple is still in the wait-and-see stage. Unlike the smartphone-side field, Apple's layout in autonomous vehicles has fallen behind. It is understood that Google's parent company Alphabe's autopilot company Waymo will launch its self-driving taxi service in a small area in December this year. In addition, GM, Toyota, Renault and Nissan Mitsubishi are also making auto-driving taxi services.
However, no matter how the current car companies are laid out, the future of the era of self-driving cars still needs long-term, large-scale investment. It is still very early stage, the first year of autonomous driving has not yet arrived, and it may be too early to judge who will be No.1 in the future of automatic driving. At present, our era has only realized the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) function. As for the company that will be the first to verify the self-driving car and the first to launch a production model, we are still unpredictable.
