第十五届全运会火炬传递11月2日在广州、深圳、香港、澳门四地开启。广州站的火炬传递加入了无人 驾驶车接力环节。无人驾驶车在越秀公园参与全运会的火种灯护送，并顺利将火种灯运送到广东体育馆 的火炬传递点位，火炬手在此通过火种灯引燃手中的火炬，继续火炬传递。这是全运会历史上首次由无 人驾驶车参与火炬传递环节。 此次参与火炬传递的第七代埃安霸王龙Robotaxi是小马智行最新一代产品，该车全车搭载6大类34个传 感器，覆盖从车身盲区到最远650米范围内的物体和环境检测。该车还搭载了小马智行自研的全球首个 L4Robotaxi车规级域控制器，配备4颗自动驾驶芯片Orin-X，算力使用效能较上一代提升3倍。值得关注 的是，第七代自动驾驶系统采用100%车规级零部件，设计寿命达60万公里，系统套件BOM成本较上代 下降70%，为未来规模化应用奠定了基础。 莫璐怡透露，小马智行第七代Robotaxi即将在广州、深圳等地投入运营，不仅有埃安霸王龙Robotaxi， 还有第七代Robotaxi家族的其他车型， 据了解，该款无人驾驶车是搭载了小马智行第七代自动驾驶系统的埃安霸王龙Robotaxi。截至目前，小 马智行是中国首个在北 ...

Core Insights - The article highlights the advancements in autonomous driving technology, specifically focusing on the capabilities of Xiaoma Zhixing's seventh-generation autonomous driving system [2][4][5]. Company Overview - Xiaoma Zhixing has developed a seventh-generation autonomous driving system that includes 34 sensors across six categories, such as 9 LiDARs, 14 cameras, and 4 millimeter-wave radars, enabling comprehensive environmental detection within a 650-meter range [4]. - The system is equipped with a state-of-the-art domain controller based on automotive-grade chips, achieving three times the computational efficiency through software algorithm optimization [5]. Industry Context - The article contrasts autonomous driving (Level 4) with driver assistance systems (Level 2), emphasizing that the former requires higher safety, stability, and reliability standards, while the latter still relies on human drivers for oversight [6]. - Guangzhou's Nansha District is recognized as the first area in Guangdong Province to fully open roads for intelligent connected vehicle testing, having opened 1,340 test roads and accumulated 2,601 kilometers of one-way mileage since 2018, leading the nation in testing road mileage [6].

Core Viewpoint - The seventh-generation autonomous driving system developed by Pony.ai has officially entered public road testing in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, marking a significant step towards mass production and commercialization [2][7]. Group 1: Technological Advancements - The seventh-generation autonomous driving system features three core breakthroughs: 100% automotive-grade components, a 70% reduction in the cost of the autonomous driving suite compared to previous generations, and rapid adaptability for multiple vehicle models based on a platform design [3]. - It is the world's first fully automotive-grade chip-based system capable of L4-level full-scene autonomous driving, achieving safety at a lower hardware cost through optimized algorithms and inference efficiency [3]. - The system incorporates a multi-redundancy architecture with over 20 safety redundancies and more than 1,000 detection designs, laying a solid foundation for safe driving [3]. Group 2: Operational Experience - Pony.ai has established an operational network covering over 2,000 square kilometers in major cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, through its fifth and sixth-generation autonomous vehicles [6]. - The company has accumulated over 45 million kilometers of global autonomous driving testing mileage, achieving over 500,000 hours of safe operation in all-weather and all-scenario conditions over the past two years [6]. Group 3: Strategic Partnerships - The GAC Aion Bawanglong autonomous vehicle, developed in collaboration with Pony.ai, represents the culmination of their strategic partnership that began in 2018, focusing on L4-level autonomous vehicle technology [7]. - In 2024, the partnership will further enhance cooperation to develop a fully redundant pre-installed mass production autonomous vehicle platform, aiming for deployment in the Greater Bay Area by 2025 [7]. Group 4: Future Plans - 2025 is projected to be the "year of mass production for autonomous vehicles" for Pony.ai, as the company transitions from technology validation to large-scale operations, planning to establish a fleet of over 1,000 vehicles within the year [8]. - Pony.ai is actively building a commercial ecosystem through deep collaborations with various partners, including Tencent Cloud, Alipay, and Uber, to accelerate the deployment of its seventh-generation autonomous driving system into everyday life [8].

Group 1 - The new Leap C16 has started pre-sales with a price range of 169,800 to 189,800 yuan [1][4] - The 6-seat pure electric version is upgraded to an 81.9 kWh battery with a CLTC range of 630 km and features 800V high-voltage silicon carbide fast charging [2] - The 5-seat version includes 10 standard features such as luxury rear seats, front seat massage, and end-to-end assisted driving with laser radar, enhancing its competitive edge in the mid-large SUV market [3] Group 2 - Pony.ai announced the launch of its seventh-generation autonomous driving vehicles for public road testing in Guangzhou and Shenzhen [5] - The seventh-generation autonomous driving system features three core breakthroughs: 100% automotive-grade components, a 70% reduction in total cost of the autonomous driving kit compared to the previous generation, and rapid adaptability for multiple vehicle models based on platform design [6] - The transition from L2 to L3 in assisted driving and the commercialization of autonomous driving indicate a blurring line between the two, emphasizing the importance of cost and profit in replacing human drivers [6]

Core Viewpoint - The GAC Aion Baolong autonomous driving vehicle equipped with Pony.ai's seventh-generation autonomous driving system has officially received a road testing license for intelligent connected vehicles, marking its entry into real traffic environments for public road testing in Guangzhou and Shenzhen [1] Group 1 - The vehicle has completed validation in laboratory and closed environments before moving to real-world testing [1] - This development signifies a significant step forward in the deployment of autonomous driving technology in urban settings [1]
