On March 4th, more and more delegates have put forward their suggestions for the two sessions, including He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xiaopeng Motors.
He Xiaopeng proposed exploring the policies and regulations for limited-scenario low-speed autonomous driving and conducting pilot applications of limited-scenario low-speed autonomous driving + energy replenishment at night.
In He Xiaopeng's view, low-speed autonomous driving can transform from "finding a spot by humans" to "finding a spot by cars", while fully utilizing the advantages of surplus nighttime electricity and low cost.
Compared to driving at normal speeds, driving at speeds below 30 km/h and parking have higher safety levels. If accidents occur, the harm is smaller. Compared to daytime, the number of users in communities, parks, parking lots, and roads during the night and early morning is significantly reduced, making road traffic smoother and safer.
In addition, He Xiaopeng stated that efforts should be made to accelerate the application of flying cars, allowing consumers to enjoy future travel experiences brought by high-tech developments more quickly and conveniently.
Earlier, He Xiaopeng stated that according to data from Xiaopeng Laboratory in 2023, the accident rate of autonomous driving is only one-tenth of that of human driving.
In fact, the debate over whether autonomous driving or human driving is safer has been going on for a long time. Some argue for humans, believing that machines are still imperfect in recognizing special scenarios and objects, and similar accidents are often reported. Others argue for machines, believing that human stability is not as reliable as machines, as machines have powerful evolutionary capabilities and are more advantageous in perceiving the environment.
