Core Viewpoint - General Motors (GM) is accelerating its efforts in autonomous driving by recalling approximately 1,000 former Cruise engineers to refocus on passenger vehicle autonomous driving research, aiming for L3 to L5 levels of automation [1][4]. Group 1: Strategic Shift - GM is shifting from a previous focus on Robotaxi platform expansion to a more pragmatic approach centered on passenger vehicle Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), emphasizing safety redundancy, cost constraints, and production rhythm [1][4]. - The new Chief Product Officer, Sterling Anderson, is driving this strategic pivot, leveraging his experience from Aurora, a company known for its fully autonomous truck services [3][6]. Group 2: Technical Integration - The recall of former Cruise talent is intended to integrate the advanced perception, planning, simulation, and safety systems developed in complex urban environments into new passenger vehicle production platforms, thereby shortening engineering ramp-up time and preventing the loss of critical capabilities [4][6]. - GM's previous autonomous driving strategy faced challenges, leading to a pause in the expansion of Cruise's Robotaxi services due to regulatory pressures, financial losses, and operational vulnerabilities [8][9]. Group 3: Future Outlook - The decision to restart ADAS research reflects GM's confidence in the technology and a strategic prioritization of "deliverable, regulatory-compliant, and sustainable" passenger vehicle automation over fully autonomous driving in the short term [9]. - By focusing on L2+/L3 systems across more vehicle models and scenarios, GM aims to build a foundation of safety data and engineering capabilities for future advancements in higher-level autonomous driving [9].

更前沿的AI技术正深度赋能高阶辅助驾驶和自动驾驶的各个环节，持续突破功能边界。标普全球汽车指出，如今应用广泛的端到端技术架构，就是基 于深度学习，通过多层神经网络将感知规控等模块深度融合联合训练，来提供高效拟人的驾驶行为输出。在端到端之外，车企还将大语言模型，VLM乃至 VLA模型应用在高阶辅助驾驶，进一步提高场景推理能力从而提高性能上限。可以说AI的全方位应用，是促成高阶辅助驾驶向自动驾驶迈进的重要技术支 撑。 但标普全球汽车同时指出，辅助驾驶系统的技术边界依然清晰。在突发极端天气、无保护左转等复杂场景下，系统仍需驾驶员即时接管——这背后是 AI模型对"长尾场景"的泛化能力不足。更棘手的是伦理困境，如"电车难题"所示，当危险不可避免时，系统的决策逻辑缺乏全球统一标准。对此，我国已出 台《驾驶自动化技术研发伦理指引》，前瞻性地为技术发展划定伦理红线，强调"生命优先"的核心原则。 未来，AI对高阶辅助驾驶的赋能将呈现清晰的阶梯式推进，其落地节奏深度依赖技术突破与场景成熟度的双重加持。 短期内，推理大模型上车将成为关键突破口。多模态、高参数量的推理模型将显著提升系统对复杂场景的处理能力，尤其在城市快速路、高速公路 ...
