(Original title: foreign media ranking automatic driving technology: Google wins, Apple countdown II)
Which driver is stronger? According to the latest published foreign media list, Google’s self-driving company, Waymo, ranked first in comprehensive scores. Baidu from China ranked seventh, and Didi ranked among the 17 companies with the lowest score in the unmanned area. On June 13th, The Information Technology, an American technology media, conducted an integrated assessment and ranking of 17 leading L4-level and above unmanned driving companies through interviews and research.
Among them, Google’s Waymo, the parent company of Google, scored first with a score of 13 out of perfect score. Uber ranked second with a difference of 1 point. German veteran car manufacturer Daimler and US auto parts supplier Delphi were listed side by side. Third place.
Foreign media ranking autopilot technology: Google wins Baidu seventh apple countdown
The Information scored the above companies mainly from the three indicators of technology, engineering, and business model. Among them, Waymo is the only company with a technical score of 5 points, and it is a big distance from the 2nd place's 3 points, which means that Waymo has already had a big technical advantage. At the same time, only Waymo and Uber scored 4 points or more in the project.
The Information analysis believes that in the key areas of driverlessness, technology companies such as Waymo and Uber have established significant advantages, leaving traditional car companies behind.
Uber is the only company that gets a perfect score on the business model. The droplets traveled by the Chinese version of Uber also scored 4.5 points.
At present, the industry generally believes that the combination of unmanned and shared travel in the future will bring greater business opportunities. Most of the companies on this list are in the form of shared travel or car services. For example, General Motors owns Maven and acquires a large stake in Lyft, BMW owns DriveNow, and Daimler owns Car2Go.
This list also evaluated two Chinese companies - Baidu ranked seventh with a total score of 8.5, and they were all flat in the scores of the three indicators. At present, autopilot has been elevated to a higher strategic position within Baidu. The company put forward the "Apollo Project" in April this year and will open the autopilot software to the entire industry.
Another Chinese company is a drop trip, but it ranks among the lowest among 17 companies, especially with a technical zero. However, this may be related to the fact that DDT started late in deploying drones, and the company is already increasing its investment in this area. It is reported that Didi Travel has hired Charlie Miller, a well-known safety engineer of Uber's autopilot project, and has recruited Waymo engineers who specialize in object detection.
Surprisingly, technology giant Apple Inc. has become a "crane crane" on this list - a total score of 5.5, tied with Fiat Chrysler 15th. Apple was one of the earliest technology companies to deploy unmanned technology. Two years ago, the company launched the "Project Titan," a dedicated unmanned vehicle project, and established a dedicated department for it. Unfortunately, the project has progressed very slowly and abolished the special automobile sector last year. According to foreign media sources, Apple may abandon plans to build independent cars and instead develop in cooperation with mature auto makers.
Taken together, the results of the research conducted by The Information show that traditional automakers do not have an advantage in the higher-level autopilot field, which is different from previous rankings of another organization.
In April of this year, the global auto driving world power rankings published by Navigant Research, a market research organization, showed that traditional car manufacturers gained an overwhelming advantage. Ford ranked first, followed by GM, and the other three were among the top five. Renault Nissan Alliance, Daimler and Volkswagen. Google, the star company in the eyes of the public, ranks only seventh, while Uber and Baidu, both of which are technology companies, have not even made it into the top ten.
The Navigant Research report discusses a total of 18 leading companies' strategies and executions for the development of autonomous driving systems. The aim is to make an objective assessment of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the global autopilot market. It contains 10 criteria, namely: vision; market strategy; partners; production strategy; technology; sales; marketing and distribution; product capabilities; product quality and reliability; product introduction;
The report divides autopilot companies into leaders, competitors, challengers and followers. The three leading companies - Ford, General Motors and Daimler - are in fact also giants of the traditional automotive industry. Google’s parent companies Waymo and Tesla were classified as competitors, while Baidu and Uber were placed in third-tier challengers.
This report also pointed out that competition in the field of automated driving is a long-running arms race. With the development of technology and the release of future strategies of these companies, various factors will affect the rankings. It is difficult to see general victory in this field. The company will present a dynamic ranking.
