Foreign Media: Chinese autonomous vehicles can now perform parking, lane changes, and other operations as smoothly as human drivers, and are aiming at the European market.
During rush hour in Sanlitun, Beijing, pedestrians are bustling, non-motorized lanes are crowded, and vehicle traffic surges through intersections the moment the traffic lights change. Yet within this chaotic scene, Bernd Woltermann, a test driver, sits relaxed inside a Mercedes-Benz CLA — he is merely a "passenger" in his own vehicle. After setting the navigation and handing control over to the system, the electronic system guides the car through complex urban traffic conditions.
Chinese autonomous vehicles have already achieved fine control capabilities close to those of human drivers, including flexible lane changing in heavy traffic, precise parking, and even automated parking after passengers have left the vehicle. The maturity of this technology is attracting increasing attention from automakers, and related autonomous driving solutions are expected to gradually expand from the Chinese market to Europe in the future.
