Core tip: the development of driverless technology is accelerating, and driverless cars will spring up like mushrooms in the next 3-5 years. However, under the halo of rapid development, the safety and reliability of driverless technology is always intriguing.

Today, with the rapid development of automobile technology, many scenes that could only be seen in science fiction movies can actually happen around us. The Letv and chang 'an self-driving cars at the Beijing auto show have made people sigh that the driverless technology, the "secret agent standard" in people's impression, has come into our life step by step.

New energy vehicles, which have been pursued by the automotive industry in recent years, have entered the stage of continuous improvement and optimization with the development of technology. Many carmakers have turned their attention to a new battleground: the development of driverless technology. In 2016, Toyota, Honda, nissan, suzuki and other companies invested heavily in the research and development of driverless technology, seeking to accelerate the development of this field. Many luxury car brands have also jumped on the technology bandwagon. Wei yongxin, CEO of audi China, said that "assisted driving and autonomous driving technology will be an important aspect of the competition among luxury car brands". Audi will lean towards the autonomous driving of luxury cars in the future, and choose the auxiliary driving system on the newly launched products to promote the practical application of driverless technology step by step. Volvo is teaming up with Uber to turn 100 XC90 plug-in hybrids into autonomous vehicles, turning them into a seven-seat driverless SUV. BMW has also been actively promoting its own self-driving strategy, and its iNEXT all-electric self-driving car will become the highlight of BMW's self-driving strategy. BMW is also working with baidu and Intel to build a driverless car platform.

The development of driverless technology is accelerating, and driverless cars will spring up like mushrooms in the next 3-5 years. However, under the halo of rapid development, the safety and reliability of driverless technology is always intriguing. The constant news that driverless cars are being wrecked and killed has made its PALS nervous. Lidar technology is very important for driverless cars, but its high price makes the production of driverless cars difficult. Road coordination, policy, traffic system and other aspects also need to be improved. Just like new energy vehicles, driverless cars are bound to become the development trend of the future automobile industry. However, it still needs to wait patiently for it to come into our life and change the existing travel status.
