真·自动驾驶要来了，但它可能没你想的那么好

Core Viewpoint - The approval of two new vehicles for L3 conditional autonomous driving marks a significant milestone in the domestic market, transitioning from testing to mass production capabilities, which is expected to invigorate the entire autonomous driving industry [1][12]. Group 1: Industry Impact - The recent news has led to a surge in stock prices for companies related to autonomous driving, indicating a strong market reaction and excitement within the industry [3]. - The approval signifies a shift in focus for car manufacturers from merely developing driver assistance systems to fully embracing autonomous driving technologies [3][12]. - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is now the approving authority, which indicates a more formalized regulatory framework for L3 vehicles compared to previous local government approvals [9][12]. Group 2: Technical Specifications - L3 autonomous driving allows vehicles to operate independently under certain conditions, relieving drivers of the need to control the vehicle, and placing liability on the manufacturers in case of accidents [7][12]. - The two approved vehicles are the Changan Deep Blue SL03 and the Arcfox Alpha S6, utilizing advanced technologies from Horizon Robotics and Huawei, respectively [13]. - The operational parameters for these vehicles are still limited, with the SL03 restricted to a maximum speed of 50 km/h on specific roads, and the Alpha S6 allowed up to 80 km/h but also limited to a single lane without overtaking [19][21]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The national standards for L3 autonomous driving are expected to be released for public consultation early next year, which may lead to a rapid increase in the number of L3 vehicles available in the market [15]. - There is an anticipation that 2024 could be a significant year for the mass production of L3 vehicles, as more manufacturers are likely to enter the market [15]. - Despite the advancements, the experience of L3 driving may still be conservative compared to current L2 systems, focusing on safety over efficiency, which may affect consumer adoption [17][21].
