虽然MB.Drive Assist Pro无法实现Drive Pilot曾经承诺的完全自动驾驶功能，但梅赛德斯-奔驰将其 视为通往未来可全球推广系统的桥梁。"我们不想提供一个对客户而言益处甚微的系统，而且我们知 道，未来两三年内将会推出一个能为客户带来更多益处的系统，"公司发言人托比亚斯·穆勒告诉The Verge。 梅赛德斯-奔驰暂停了其Drive Pilot自动驾驶辅助系统项目，由于成本不断攀升、可用性有限以及供 应商格局变化，该公司正在调整其自动驾驶发展路线。该系统是美国首款也是目前唯一一款获得L3 级认证的自动驾驶产品，能够实现真正的"手不离手、眼不看"驾驶，但仅限于特定条件。Drive Pilot 系统原计划于2023年搭载于EQS电动轿车和S级旗舰车型上，但预计本月发布的新款S级轿车将不会 配备该系统。 （来源 ： 编译自 techspot ） 公众号记得加星标⭐️，第一时间看推送不会错过。 自动驾驶仍然是梅赛德斯-奔驰的长期目标，但监管框架不断限制着"无人值守"系统的运行方式和范 围。目前，该公司似乎专注于完善能够在这些限制条件下可靠运行的解决方案，而不是过早地推进完 全自动化。 该系统在汽车行 ...

Core Viewpoint - Nvidia is attempting to challenge Tesla and a few other companies in the autonomous vehicle sector, while Tesla's CEO Elon Musk expresses no concern about this competition [1][4]. Group 1: Nvidia's Developments - Nvidia launched a series of open-source autonomous driving models named Alpamayo, which are designed to make "human-like" decisions and handle rare or tricky scenarios through reasoning rather than traditional rule-based methods [5][6]. - The new model series is expected to enhance Nvidia's influence in the growing autonomous vehicle industry, which the company views as a significant opportunity [6]. - Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang stated that the company has been developing autonomous vehicle technology for eight years and has thousands of employees dedicated to this sector [6]. Group 2: Industry Reactions and Competitors - Companies like Uber, Jaguar Land Rover, and Lucid Group are interested in using Alpamayo to develop fully autonomous vehicles, and they have previously collaborated with Nvidia on autonomous technology [6]. - Mercedes-Benz announced plans to launch a CLA model equipped with advanced driver assistance features similar to those offered by Tesla later this year [6]. - Lucid and Uber also unveiled a near-production vehicle designed for autonomous taxi services this week [6]. Group 3: Market Impact - Following Nvidia's announcements, its stock rose by 1.6%, while Tesla's stock faced selling pressure, dropping approximately 3% [7]. - Nvidia introduced its next-generation AI, the Vera Rubin series of chips, which is expected to significantly improve performance and cost-effectiveness compared to the current Blackwell platform [7]. - Tesla plans to reduce its reliance on Nvidia chips in its data centers, while xAI is collaborating with Nvidia to build a large data center in Saudi Arabia, expected to utilize the Rubin platform [7][3].

Core Insights - On September 25, a significant event occurred in China's smart driving sector as Mercedes-Benz announced two key moves: the mass production of an intelligent driving system developed in collaboration with Momenta for the domestic CLA model, and the acquisition of a 3% stake in Qianli Technology at a price of 9.87 yuan per share, representing a nearly 24% discount [2][3]. Group 1: Mercedes-Benz's Strategic Moves - The simultaneous announcements reflect Mercedes-Benz's strategy to establish a foothold in the local smart driving ecosystem while addressing immediate product deployment needs [2]. - The investment in Qianli Technology, costing approximately 1.339 billion yuan, positions Mercedes-Benz as the fifth-largest shareholder, with a commitment not to sell shares within the next 12 months [3]. Group 2: Qianli Technology's Background - Qianli Technology, which emerged from the restructuring of Lifan Holdings, was once the first private passenger car company listed in A-shares but faced bankruptcy in 2020 before being acquired by Geely [3]. - The company has shifted its focus from traditional manufacturing to smart driving and intelligent cockpit technologies, with a workforce expansion to about 2,000 people through partnerships with Geely and Megvii [3]. Group 3: Industry Context and Implications - Qianli Zhijia, formed by Qianli Technology, Geely, and Megvii, aims to operate independently and provide solutions not only for Geely but for the entire industry [4]. - Mercedes-Benz's investment aligns with its earlier investment in Momenta in 2017, indicating a commitment to local data training and simulation for its new intelligent driving system, which will debut in the upcoming CLA model [4]. - The discount on the share purchase highlights the urgency of Lifan Holdings' divestment while simultaneously providing Qianli Technology with international brand recognition, crucial for its expansion [4]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The effectiveness of these strategic moves will ultimately be determined by real-world testing and consumer acceptance, as user experience will be the final measure of the value of these capital and technological investments [5].
