On March 10th, news broke out regarding a leaked video from an internal meeting at Great Wall, unveiling the City True Map NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) technology for the first time and sparking widespread discussion. Challenges that were previously insurmountable for automated driving have now been resolved by Great Wall.
Recently, Great Wall's CTO, Wang Yuan, responded to inquiries, stating, "Many friends have been asking me about the video footage from yesterday's leaked meeting. In fact, this video was part of an internal presentation on autonomous driving that we filmed several months ago."
Since the cat is out of the bag, we've noticed significant interest from the media and online community regarding our autonomous driving technology, particularly in traversing rural landscapes, navigating through complex urban environments, and accurately identifying irregular obstacles. Therefore, I've asked the team to release the full version of the video to share with everyone.
"Our autonomous driving team is currently working tirelessly to ensure full-scene, true map capabilities! Soon, a more advanced urban NOA will be unveiled," he emphasized.
From the demonstration in the video, there are several core technological advantages highlighted.
Firstly, there's the true mapless navigation system, allowing for driving anywhere. Whether it's urban areas or rural roads, it's adaptable.
It's understood that Great Wall Motors has adopted a "heavy perception" technology route, breaking free from reliance on highly precise maps. This system is not bound to fixed routes and can be used on various road types, offering more freedom in travel choices.
Additionally, leveraging powerful algorithmic capabilities, the full-scenario NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) system can proactively plan for various scenarios and automatically navigate according to the route provided. It can function normally in scenarios such as urban villages, county towns, and rural areas, truly achieving the capability to "drive wherever there's a road, and it's easy to go anywhere."
Secondly, while being intelligent, it also ensures safety.
According to reports, Great Wall Motors equips its vehicles with dozens of intelligent safety control capabilities including AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking), ESS (Emergency Steering Support), LKA (Lane Keeping Assist), and ELK (Emergency Lane Keeping), among others. In addition to meeting regulatory standards, it enhances obstacle and pedestrian recognition and response capabilities, further improving safety in complex scenarios. It can provide a smooth experience and comprehensive safety protection in various scenarios around the clock.
Overall, Great Wall Motors' full-scenario NOA system is a true mapless intelligent driving solution that can navigate through challenging scenarios such as complex intersections, village roads, and narrow urban streets, showcasing its technological value tailored to the local context.
Compared to other NOA systems, it offers faster perception, more agile response, and richer experience, truly embodying the essence of an "intelligent veteran driver."
Looking forward to seeing Great Wall's implementation on the road soon.
