辅助驾驶私家车传感器多以摄像头、普通雷达为主。但自动驾驶网约车为了达到极高的安全冗余，通常 采用"传感器融合"方案，确保车辆在某个传感器单点失效的情况下仍然能正常运行。车顶通常会有一个 显眼的激光雷达，并配备多个摄像头、盲区雷达，构成360度无死角的感知系统，其计算平台的算力也 远超有辅助驾驶功能的乘用车。因此自动驾驶网约车的单车成本此前可高达几十万元甚至上百万元，限 制了大规模商业运营的潜力。 "如今，零部件成本在大幅下降。以前一个激光雷达要几万美元，如今激光雷达的价格已经降到几千元 人民币。再如，文远知行研发了'WeRide One自动驾驶通用技术平台'，这个平台可在多场景下使用，因 此算法成本得以大幅下降。"张羽雪说。 今年7月，文远知行推出与联想车计算共同研发的、搭载NVIDIA最新一代DRIVE Thor X芯片的HPC 3.0 高性能计算平台，并率先在其自动驾驶网约车GXR上应用，助力GXR自动驾驶套件成本下降了50%， 为其大规模商业应用按下加速键。 "硬件和软件的成本都在下降，一辆自动驾驶网约车的成本已经下降到现在的小几十万元，而且还在不 断下降中。"张羽雪说。 新华财经广州10月10日电（记 ...

Core Viewpoint - Baidu plays a pivotal role in China's autonomous driving sector, particularly in the Robotaxi market, similar to Google's influence with Waymo. The development paths of companies like WeRide, Pony.ai, and Apollo Go reflect the broader commercialization process of Robotaxi in China [1]. Group 1: WeRide - WeRide was founded by Han Xu, a former chief scientist at Baidu's autonomous driving division, and initially operated under the name Jingchi Technology. The company faced legal challenges from Baidu over alleged trade secret violations [3][4]. - The company shifted its focus from solely Robotaxi services to a multi-scenario approach, including the launch of RoboBus, a Level 4 autonomous minibus, and Robosweeper, an autonomous cleaning vehicle [4][5]. - In Q1 2023, WeRide reported revenue of approximately 72.44 million yuan, with Robotaxi contributing only 22.3% of that. However, by Q2 2023, revenue surged to 127 million yuan, with Robotaxi revenue increasing to 36.1% [5]. Group 2: Pony.ai - Pony.ai was co-founded by Peng Jun and Lou Tiancheng, both of whom have strong backgrounds in technology and experience at Baidu. The company established partnerships with automakers like Toyota to integrate autonomous driving into mass-produced vehicles [8][11]. - By 2023, Pony.ai had provided over 2.5 million autonomous rides, with a peak daily order volume of 15,000. The company also launched a "driverless heavy truck" business, completing over 500,000 kilometers of testing [12]. - Pony.ai's strategy emphasizes dual engines of Robotaxi and commercial freight, allowing it to diversify revenue streams and maintain a robust R&D team despite industry challenges [12]. Group 3: Apollo Go - Apollo Go, Baidu's in-house Robotaxi brand, benefits from the company's extensive resources in AI, mapping, and computing power. It was launched in 2021 and has rapidly expanded its operations across multiple cities [14][15]. - By Q2 2023, Apollo Go had provided over 14 million rides globally, with a quarterly order volume exceeding 1.4 million, making it the largest Robotaxi platform in China [16][18]. - Unlike its competitors, Apollo Go is fully funded by Baidu, allowing it to focus on scaling operations without the immediate pressure for profitability [18].
