What is the difference between intelligent networked cars and self-driving cars?

The intelligent networked car of Pacific Car Network includes the functions of surfing the Internet, listening to music, map navigation, car housekeeper, mobile phone remote control and even playing games, so that cars can participate more in life. Self-driving is a kind of intelligent car that realizes unmanned driving through computer system. In other words, autonomous driving depends on the strength of the car factory to integrate the solutions of other upstream suppliers. The core of "autonomous driving" is the car.

For the field of smart cars, the past 20 18 is definitely a significant year. This year, the first batch of self-driving trucks were loaded on the road, the first batch of unmanned taxis were commercialized, and self-driving road tests were started in many places across the country. The state departments issued policies to support the development of related fields. In a large number of news reports, three words appear very frequently, namely "automatic driving", "unmanned driving" and "intelligent network connection". Many people are very confused about these three concepts, so what is the relationship between them and what is the difference?

I. Intelligent Networked Intelligent Networked Vehicle refers to the organic combination of the Internet of Vehicles and smart cars. It is a new generation of vehicles equipped with advanced on-board sensors, controllers, actuators and other devices. It integrates modern communication and network technologies, and realizes intelligent information exchange between vehicles and people, vehicles, roads and backgrounds, and realizes safe, comfortable, energy-saving and efficient driving, which can eventually replace people to operate.

Figuratively speaking, the intelligent networked car uses the mobile network to realize the interaction between people and cars, just like a computer with wheels that can run. As for what functions can be realized, it depends on the software installed in the system. You can surf the Internet by installing a browser, watch videos by installing a player, and check navigation by installing a map. Similarly, you can realize automatic driving by installing intelligent driving software.

At present, many vehicles have built-in functions such as automatic parking and cruise control, which have been put into the market and are relatively mature. It sounds like automatic driving, but all the above operations have restrictive conditions, which require drivers to pay attention to driving conditions at all times. There is still a long way to go before it is truly "automatic" and "unmanned".

Second, self-driving and driverless self-driving cars, also known as driverless cars, computer-driven cars, or wheeled mobile robots, are a kind of smart cars that realize unmanned driving through computer systems.

In fact, autonomous driving and driverless driving are almost the relationship between "potato" and "potato" and "preserved egg", but it is not impossible to point out the difference between them. The focus of unmanned driving is "unmanned driving". The vehicle may not have a pedal and steering wheel, but it is completely controlled by a computer. Similar driverless vehicles will be used for public transportation and logistics. The driver can freely switch between automatic and manual modes. Whether to set the driver's seat depends entirely on the purpose of the vehicle and the wishes of the buyer. They can be regarded as two AB configurations of the same product.

Not all intelligent networked cars can achieve automatic driving, but self-driving cars must rely on intelligent networked technology, and there is an inclusive relationship between them. Compared with intelligent networked cars, autonomous driving needs to consider many scenarios, involving many fields, and even involving interdisciplinary subjects such as ethics and law.
