Is automatic parking an automatic driving?

Automatic parking of Pacific Auto Network is not automatic driving. Automatic parking refers to the parking of all kinds of parking spaces by automatic control beside the parking spaces; Autonomous parking means that the vehicle does not have to be next to the parking space. Even if there is a considerable distance from the parking space, vehicles can still park their vehicles in the warehouse through automatic driving and automatic parking.

In the domestic market, Roewe MarvelX and Baojun E200 are the first to be equipped with AVP function. Among other independent brands, Geely and FAW will also launch production models equipped with AVP in the second half of 2020 or early 20021. Among the new forces to build cars, Xpeng Motors P7 will be mass-produced in 2020 and equipped with low-speed parking service AVP function.

Excerpted from Che Yun's Weimar, Tucki and Weilai: Three-dimensional Confrontation of Autopilot. At present, there are two schools in the industry about how to do AVP, namely "changing cars" and "changing garages". Domestic independent brands are mostly "car-changing", and their AVP system suppliers are mainly domestic start-up companies, such as Mu Zong Science and Technology and Shi Yu Science and Technology. The representative of "garage reformist" is Daimler and other global OEMs, and its AVP system supplier is Bosch.

The purpose of changing the car school is to pursue "the intelligence of the car", that is, to realize AVP without transforming the basement. The car modification scheme has three advantages:

First, it can better control the cost-the cost of rebuilding the basement is relatively high, and it limits the geographical scope of AVP use;

Second, there are few partners involved in the automobile modification scheme, and OEM is dominant, so the commercial characteristics of AVP can be rapidly matured through mass production and shipment. Rebuilding the garage involves cooperation with real estate developers and properties, and the market is fragmented and the regional attributes are too strong, which increases the difficulty of commercial landing;

Thirdly, the scheme of rebuilding the basement doesn't require high intelligence of the car, but the AVP realized by "rebuilding the car" is closer to the future high-speed L4 automatic driving scene, which is beneficial to the long-term intelligent development of the car.

By changing the garage, different models can realize "automatic parking" through the transformation of the garage. The vehicle itself only needs basic functions such as electronic braking, automatic shifting, electronic power steering and remote interconnection, and does not need any environmental awareness function.
