近日，有网民发现，小米汽车的宣传物料上，对其智能驾驶功能换了宣传术语，将原有的"智驾"更改 为"辅助驾驶"。问界、理想等多家新能源车企，近期也降低了"智驾"的使用频次或换了说法。 在应对策略上，车企已经从单纯的技术炫技转向了注重安全教育。小米汽车在APP内测"安全分Beta"， 借助算法对驾驶行为风险进行评估；小鹏汽车计划推出"AI辅助驾驶安全训练营"，旨在强化用户对辅助 驾驶功能边界的认知。这些举措充分表明，车企正从单纯的技术提供者转变为安全责任的共担者。正如 一位汽车工程师所说："最好的智能驾驶宣传，应该像安全气囊广告一样，既要彰显技术实力，又要提 醒消费者这仅仅是最后一道防线。" 车企的纠偏行动，也是对消费者认知偏差的一次修正。北京科协曾明确辟谣"辅助驾驶等于自动驾驶"这 一说法，但"L2+""L2.9"等宣传标语仍在暗示技术已经接近L3级。这种"过度包装"使得消费者对技术能 力产生了不切实际的幻想，甚至催生出了"脱手驾驶"这种危险的文化。 "智驾"更名"辅助驾驶"，这不仅仅是一场技术命名层面的变革，更是智能汽车行业的一次价值观重塑。 从以营销为导向转变为以安全为首要考量，这场纠偏也将推动行业走向成熟。 ...

作者 | 耿宸斐 编辑 | 宋婉心 一路高歌猛进的"智驾"被按下了暂停键。小米SU7事故后半个月，工信部出台了监管文件限制智驾功能及宣传，有参会人士透露 了几大重点：L2不允许用"接管"进行宣传、不再受理"代客泊车"等驾驶员不能完全控制的功能、不允许公测等。 最新消息是，5月4日，小米调整了SU7新车定购页面中的措辞，将"智驾"更名为"辅助驾驶"。 在这场掀起舆论危机的车祸事故之前，小米等几家新能源车企进行了一轮配股融资，刚准备加满弹药推动"智驾平权"。 3月，小米、比亚迪各自配股融资425亿港元和435亿港元，蔚来也宣布拟配售约1.4亿股A类普通股融资40.3亿港元。其中，比亚 迪和小米均选择高位配股，蔚来则在股价处于历史低位的情况下实施配售。 蔚来管理层也曾在财报会上透露，相较于采用4颗Orin芯片，其自研的神玑NX9031智驾芯片可节省约1万元成本。 硬件层面，激光雷达是核心成本。尽管激光雷达近年来价格不断下探，已至千元左右，但在主打性价比的汽车市场中，激光雷 达堆叠仍旧带来不低的成本。 在这一背景下，车企开始采用差异化的智能驾驶方案：在基础款车型上主推成本更低的纯视觉方案，而在高阶版本中则配备激 光雷 ...
