2021: DeepRoute-Driver 2.0 View

AmericanaChinese startup DeepRoute.ai-, specializing in autonomous driving systems for, cars announced the DeepRoute-Driver 2.0 solution, which will require no human involvement in driving. At the same time, the system will cost very little money - about $10 thousand.

According to the developer, DeepRoute-Driver 2.0 refers to fourth-level autonomous control systems, which involves complete independence, however, in a limited geographical range and on roads with predictable traffic. Automation systems of this level are supposed to be used in unmanned taxis and public transport. In the event of a failure or negative environmental conditions, such as zero-visibility weather, the system may stop functioning to ensure the safety of passengers. In this case, the intervention of the human driver will be required, provided that it is in principle provided for by the design of the car.

The market already has level 4 unmanned vehicle automation systems such as Waymo and Cruise. They offer very efficient algorithms and equipment for unmanned navigation, but their cost is very high.

The system will include five solid state lidars, eight cameras, a proprietary computer system and, as an additional option, a radar on millimeter waves.

Half of the cost of the system falls on lidars. As of December 2021, China is actively developing, aimed at reducing their cost as much as possible. DeepRoute uses systems created by Robosense, based in Shenzhen, and ZVision, whose headquarters are located in Beijing. ZVision and DeepRouteodin have the same investor, the company FosunRZCapital.

The demonstration of the DeepRoute system showed that it is able to overcome given routes even in conditions of very heavy traffic along the streets of Shenzhen, rebuild along the lanes, give way to pedestrians and integrate into the flow at junctions. The^[1].
