光大证券:L4纯视觉或再掀技术变革 持续关注智驾主题

Group 1 - The report from Everbright Securities indicates a positive outlook for the domestic urban intelligent driving penetration rate, expecting a turning point in 2025E and rapid growth thereafter in 2026E and beyond [1] - The focus for the L2+ market is on promoting affordable intelligent vehicles priced between 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, while the L4 market is centered on the breakthrough of commercial scale for Robotaxi [1] - Recommendations include Tesla and the steering supplier Nextracker for L4 pure vision Robotaxi commercialization, as well as Xpeng Motors, with a suggestion to pay attention to Li Auto, NIO, and Pony.ai [1] Group 2 - The acceleration of Robotaxi commercialization is nearing a scale-up inflection point, with significant breakthroughs in order volumes and external collaborations among leading global Robotaxi companies since the second half of 2024 [1] - The report suggests that the core methodology for achieving L4 may involve reinforcement learning combined with world models, contrasting with L2+ which primarily relies on imitation learning [2] - The complexity of L4 implementation is expected to increase due to challenges in data construction, algorithm development, and the need for substantial computational resources [2] Group 3 - The report highlights that the dual paths of lidar and pure vision technology will continue from L2+ to L4, despite the drawbacks of lidar technology such as delays and conflicts in multi-sensor fusion [3] - The key to achieving commercial scalability for L4 lies in technological upgrades and cost reductions, as hardware costs are expected to rise [3] - The VLA (Vision-Language-Action) model combined with world models is anticipated to be a mainstream trend in the intelligent driving industry, although it has not yet been fully realized [4]
