AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)01/16 Report--

Today, a video of "the ideal owner driving at night shows that someone is chasing the car" has gone viral on the Internet. The video shows that the central control screen of the car shows a simulated picture of the car running on the road, and the picture also shows that someone is running after the car, one at the rear of the car, the other at the left of the car. According to reports, on January 15, an ideal car owner in Pudong, Shanghai, said that when he was driving at night to buy an ideal car for only a month, he inadvertently found that the central control screen of his vehicle suddenly showed that someone was chasing the car. After repeated inspection, he found that there was no one in the car, and after a period of time, the villain on the central control screen disappeared.

After the video was posted on the Internet, many netizens said: "good boy, if this is a female driver, isn't it frightening to cry?", "the owner of the car is so big that he dares to confirm it back." it looks very weird, "and" it's a weird thing again. " . In response to this incident, the ideal customer service staff told the car owner that the rain may affect the radar judgment and the relevant parts need to be wiped clean; the ideal car after-sales service staff said that the L2-level auxiliary driving is mainly based on human judgment, and it is possible to identify errors in rainy and snowy weather, night and fog.

At noon today, the ideal car official released its Weibo response: "the ideal owner's nighttime driving control shows that someone chasing the car is neither a psychic event nor stray into high-dimensional warped debris, but the BUG of the ideal L8 Pro (version 4.2 of the AD Pro platform) visual perception algorithm, with a certain probability that the rearview camera will be disturbed by water droplets in rainy night environments.

The ideal car explains that the above problems only affect the perceptual environment display and will not affect the function control. Please rest assured to drive. In addition, the ideal L9 Max and the ideal L8 Max of the AD Max platform do not have this BUG. Our rearview camera is arranged in the rear windshield, and when there are water droplets in the rear windshield camera position, if illuminated by the lights or street lamps of the rear vehicle, a halo will be formed on the image screen. The current mass production version of the AD Pro algorithm has a certain probability of mistakenly recognizing the halo as a human feature, so it results in the BUG of perceptual environment display. At present, our algorithm research and development has added negative sample labeling data of halo image for this kind of scenario, and the algorithm is being verified internally. It is expected that the algorithm will be updated in the next version (OTA 4.3) to optimize this problem. The current car owner can open the wiper on a rainy day, and after eliminating the interference of water droplets, the probability of occurrence will be greatly reduced.

According to the official website, ideal car models on sale so far include ideal L8 and ideal L9, both of which were launched in 2022. Ideal L9 is the second mass production model of ideal car, which was officially launched on June 21, with a vehicle price of 459800 yuan. Ideal car founder Li wants to define the car as "the best household flagship SUV within 5 million", at the previous new car launch. Li Xiang said bluntly: "the ideal L9 suspension uses a front double-arm, rear five-link structure, providing flagship driving performance and ride comfort, with millisecond response CDC damping system, even compared with Curinan, we are not afraid at all."

The ideal L8 is a replacement model for the ideal ONE, which will be launched on September 30th, 2022. The new car has launched a total of two models with a positioning of six luxury medium and large SUV. The price range is 35.98-399800 yuan, which is only 10, 000 yuan more expensive than the old ideal ONE (349800 yuan), while the top model is 50, 000 yuan more expensive. As the connecting rod model of the ideal ONE, the ideal L8 has a completely new appearance, completely abandoning the ideal ONE large-size grille design and adopting a styling design that is highly similar to the ideal L9. At the press conference, the ideal car CEO Li wanted to create momentum for the new car, saying: "the ideal L8 is the first choice for the six-seat luxury medium and large SUV within 400000, the Pro model is the top match, and the Max model is in the sky. There is no such car in the world before."

Data show that a total of 133246 ideal cars were delivered in 2022, leading Xiaopeng and Xilai to become the second largest car company in annual delivery, with a monthly delivery record in December and becoming the top of the new power with sales of 21233 vehicles.

In addition to the ideal L8 and ideal L9 models, the ideal L7 will be released on February 8 this year. The car will be located in a medium-and large-sized five-seater SUV, with a total of two models with a price range of 33.98-379800 yuan, which will compete with the Xiaopeng G9 after its launch. In addition, Li would like to disclose recently that the first model of ideal car, the ideal L6, which focuses on the market within 300000 yuan, will be postponed until next year, and the car will be positioned as a family intelligent luxury five-seat medium-sized SUV. With the launch of more new cars, the product line of ideal cars will be richer.
