Didi's autonomous driving expert Zhang Bo: A mixed mobility network is the best path for the cold start of autonomous driving.

Didi's autonomous driving company CEO, Zhang Bo, stated on the Intelligent Electric Vehicle Development Forum on the 11th that building a hybrid network of manual driving and autonomous driving based on the travel platform to provide Robotaxi services to the public is the best path for the cold start of autonomous driving. He pointed out that although AI technology has made significant progress in recent years, it is still difficult to achieve a level several times higher than human driving in harsh weather and complex road conditions. Therefore, for a long time, it is still necessary to rely on a hybrid network to provide stable travel services. On the same day, the new generation of Robotaxi vehicles co-produced by Didi and GAC-Aion were unveiled simultaneously. It is reported that this vehicle has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in L4 level software and hardware technology and intelligent cabin experience, and has already started road testing.
