On August 28, JIDU Auto unveiled its all-new V2.0 software at an AI driving conference themed "Evolution: AI Reshaping Intelligent Driving" in Chengdu. The newly launched software will debut on the JIDU 07 model. Powered by Baidu Apollo's Level 4 autonomous driving atomic capabilities and safety framework, JIDU Auto has achieved the milestone to offer pure vision technology for advanced intelligent driving, which is China's exclusive and one of only two such offerings worldwide, maintaining the company's leading position in the industry.

2024 is poised to be a breakthrough year for intelligent driving technology, as it increasingly becomes a key factor for consumers when choosing cars. End-to-end large models utilize two distinct data processing and transmission methods: one-stage and two-stage. Tesla's one-stage approach prioritizes lossless transmission and direct information processing. However, this method presents challenges like unpredictable outputs, high debugging costs, and difficulties in guaranteeing a consistent minimum performance level. While the two-stage end-to-end model simplifies system design and implementation by processing data in phases, separating perception and decision-making. Each component performs its specific function, making test and maintenance more straightforward. By processing data in segments, it also allows for optimization at each stage, contributing to the overall system's stability.

Considering safety, user experience, and other factors, JIDU Auto has opted for a two-stage end-to-end approach. While both JIDU Auto's ASD and Tesla's FSD are intelligent driving assistance systems based on pure vision technology, ASD is developed in China and has a deeper understanding of Chinese road conditions, which makes ASD a more suitable intelligent driving assistance system for the country's specific traffic environment.

"Businesses will make their decisions between one-stage and two-stage models based on specific needs, recognizing the tangible benefits that end-to-end models offer. For us, the potential of intelligent driving technology is full of surprises," said Wang Liang, Chair of Baidu Intelligent Driving Group Technical Committee. "Theoretically, using one-stage model to address the lower bound challenges is more difficult, requiring us to collect an exceptionally large amount of data with fast growth at an exponential rate compared to the two-stage model, as well as manage a large scale model and handle large amount of data."

With the newly launched V2.0 software, JIDU Auto's ASD has achieved a breakthrough by combining pure vision with an end-to-end large-scale model, which places ASD a generation ahead of the industry. Leveraging the Level 4 autonomous driving model Apollo ADFM, ASD strikes a balance between safety and generalizability, offering more safety to human drivers and encompasses the entire range of high-speed and complex urban scenarios.

JIDU is a joint-venture between Geely and Baidu. We stand at the forefront of the AI-driven mobility revolution, crafting premium intelligent robocars that integrate Baidu's advanced AI capabilities, Apollo's Level 4 autonomous driving technologies, and Geely's SEA Platform.
