[EV Vision Report]On December 21, the 2021 Huawei Smart Car Solutions Ecological Forum was held online. As one of the important partners, the smart driving solution developer MINIEYE shared the latest results of the cooperation between the two parties and announced for the first time The iPilot intelligent pilot assisted mass production solution developed for L2+/L2++ scenarios. The solution is developed based on Huawei’s MDC 610 platform, and has been designated by two automotive customer projects including new car manufacturers and traditional OEMs.
Huawei’s intelligent driving computing platform MDC 610 has a computing power of 200 TOPS and features high performance, high safety, high reliability, and high energy efficiency. It has perfect support for neural networks and can group computing power as needed to adapt to different tasks. Combining the complete tool chain and fast-response service mechanism of the MDC platform, partners can flexibly and quickly develop intelligent driving applications for different application scenarios.
In terms of sensor configuration, the iPilot solution uses a 7V5R2L combination, that is, 7 cameras, 5 millimeter wave radars, and 2 lidars. The front-view direction is two 8-megapixel high-definition cameras, and the lidar is 96 lines. Based on the industry-leading computing platform and sensor combination, the application scenarios of the iPilot solution cover structured roads such as highways, urban expressways, and urban roads, and support multiple intelligent driving system functions such as AEB, ACC, TJA, ICA, and HWP. According to MINIEYE, one of the models designated by the plan is a new energy coupe, which will be SOP in the third quarter of next year.
MINIEYE has been adhering to a gradual route since its establishment, with mass production as the core, developing smart driving solutions of different levels. In the field of L0-L2, MINIEYE has won new car manufacturers, FAW, Geely, SAIC, BYD, Jiangxi Isuzu, Dongfeng, Liuzhou and other OEM customers. It is expected to ship 400,000 units in 2021.
Dr. Guoqing Liu, the founder and CEO of MINIEYE, judged that due to the influence of Tesla and other new car forces and increased market demand, L2+/L2++ level intelligent driving functions will become the mainstream demand in the next 3-5 years, and this is also an important part of MINIEYE’s deep cultivation. field. According to Liu Guoqing, at present, MINIEYE has achieved 4 L2+/L2++ level mass production projects, including cars, coupes, and SUVs, covering new energy and fuel vehicles.
Join hands with Huawei again to expand the domestic autonomous driving landscape with ecology
As a leading domestic smart driving computing platform manufacturer, Huawei MDC has always been an important partner of MINIEYE. Huawei MDC adheres to the concept of platformization + openness, and builds a good ecosystem with customers and the upstream and downstream industry chains. The iPilot solution developed based on the Huawei MDC 610 is the second cooperation between MINIEYE and Huawei following the MDC 210.
In March of this year, the L2+ solution developed by MINIEYE based on the MDC 210 platform not only successfully achieved the project designation of a new car-making force, but also gained customer recognition through high-quality development and delivery capabilities. Liu Guoqing said that Huawei MDC has a rich product line and excellent performance, and is a leader in intelligent driving computing platforms. The two parties have in-depth cooperation and coordinated development, relying on localization, customization, and rapid response to jointly develop the market structure.
At present, the automotive industry is in the wave of “software-defined cars”. It is not only changing the electrical and electronic architecture of automobiles, but also reshaping the pattern of the automotive industry chain: from the original vertical structure to a network structure. The OEMs, Tier1 and Tier2 have transformed from the original structure with distinct levels to collaborative development and win-win cooperation.
Liu Guoqing believes that the industrialization of autonomous driving is inseparable from the joint efforts of the entire industry. MINIEYE has always maintained an open attitude and has established a good cooperation and win-win relationship with the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. In the future, MINIEYE will continue to focus on the technological innovation and practice of intelligent driving solutions, and work with more industry chain partners to power up and empower the intelligent transformation of the Chinese automobile industry.Return to Sohu to see more
