Shangtang Technology's Xu Li: Self-driving cars need to learn how to merge into traffic autonomously.

The 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference will be held in Shanghai from July 26 to 28. Xu Li, Chairman and CEO of SenseTime, said that cutting in line is very common in automated driving, which is also a challenge for human drivers. New drivers are afraid to cut in line and end up stuck behind for a long time. The accident rate for experienced drivers cutting in line is 22%, so automated driving systems need to learn how to cut in line. He pointed out that this is a difficult problem because driving too conservatively will lead to being stuck, while driving too aggressively may result in accidents.
