Baidu wants to realize mass production of small-scale commercial buses for driverless cars

A few days ago, Baidu and Jinlong Bus entered into a strategic partnership. It plans to implement small-scale mass production and trial operation of a driverless micro-circulator in the commercial class with Baidu's Apollo technology intelligent brain in 2018. This is another round of new actions following the strategic cooperation between Baidu and FAW.

In the past two years, there has been an upsurge of research on driverless technology worldwide. At present, it seems that the development of driverless technology can be broadly divided into two camps: Tesla, Audi, Honda-based car companies and Google, Baidu and other Internet companies.

As for Baidu's involvement in driverless technology, it is ultimately due to the slowdown in Baidu's search business. After Baidu showed off the trend in the BAT Big Three, Li Yanhong wanted to explore and research in areas such as artificial intelligence and driverless technology to boost the company’s revenue growth.

Back to Baidu's earliest research on driverless vehicle research projects, since 2013, Baidu Research Institute has been leading research and development of the “Baidu Automotive Brain” including the four modules of high-precision maps, positioning, perception, and intelligent decision-making and control.

In the past two years, there have been more and more news about Baidu driverless cars. Baidu is even free to open its driverless modules, including software, hardware, cloud and vehicle platforms, to the automotive industry and its partners in the auto-driving industry. Prior to this, Li Yanhong personally drove the Baidu-developed driverless car to experience the news on the North Fifth Ring and brushed his friends. In addition, this year, Baidu frequently negotiated cooperation with domestic automakers. Does this mean that Baidu's driverless technology solution has become possible?

Say that Baidu entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Jinlong Bus to launch a commercial unmanned micro-circulator in 2018. If Baidu's driverless micro-circulators will be able to be used commercially next year, is there still a need to examine the driver's license?

We know that with the continuous development of the automotive industry, the overall performance, driving convenience, and safety of the car have been gradually improved. To put it plainly, the safety factor of cars is getting higher and higher, and the difficulty of driving is getting lower and lower, but this cannot deny the importance of a driver's license to regulate driving and driving safely. Really capable of realizing the commercial application of driverless vehicles, do not need to drive by yourself, and the driver's license as a visual vehicle driving a certain driving skills requires the existence of the significance of it?

Will Baidu really be able to achieve commercial-grade unmanned bus mass production operations next year? In the future, really do not need to test driver's license?

Industrial Power Supplies

Industrial power supplies are power products specially designed and produced for a certain industrial production industry. For industrial power supplies, absolute balance of electronics characteristics is not the main focus. Different industrial applications focus on different specific electronics index, some focus on the stability of the power supply output voltage or current, but the ripple is not the key judging criteria; some industrial applications have customized requirements for power supplies, such as adding time control, adding pulse functions, adding multiple outputs, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the cost requirements of large-scale purchases of industrial applications, so for industrial power supplies, Application adaptability, Long-term operating Reliability and Reasonable cost control are the main points of attention for industrial power supplies.


Switching Mode Customized Dc Power SuppliesStp Full Series


Our industrial power supply mainly involves three industries:
1. Capacitor testing industry: The main products are capacitor leakage current ripple test power supplies used for capacitor life and quality testing. It is an industrial power supply product mainly adopted by capacitor manufacturers` for products quality control or capacitor use manufacturers` for sourcing capacitor inspections with current endurance life test, according to the variety of output voltage and frequency required for different capacitance tests, the DC output voltage of this power supply is up to 3000V, the AC voltage output is up to 400V, the AC current is up to 400A, and the output frequency can be 50Hz-100KHz according to customer requirements.

2. Capacitor aging industry: The main products are our first-generation high-power DC power supply products, based on the development of IGBT-based hard-switching technology, with high output accuracy, low ripple, high efficiency, fast response speed and good cost advantages, the power supplies are featured with constant voltage, constant current working mode automatic switching function, overvoltage protection circuit, overheat protection circuit, short circuit protection function. For the convenience of industry users, this power supply can also add customized functions, such as: automatic shutdown for load discharge function, overvoltage, overcurrent protection value preset and view function and pulse aging function, etc., to adapt to the use of sophisticated capacitors of capacitor manufacturers.

3. Surface treatment industry: The DC rectifier based on the high frequency switching technology of IGBT switching devices is a product developed by our company for industrial applications such as electroplating, electrolysis, water treatment, and hard oxidation. There is no mandatory requirement for output ripple in this industry application. So, this industrial power products do not put too much LC circuit processing to the input and output ends. It has high requirements for output current stability and long-term operation capability, mostly low-voltage and high-current output, up to 2000KW, with ultra-high DC output of 50000A.

To overcomes the harsh application environment and long-term operating conditions. The industrial power supplies basically adopt water cooling, and the internal components of the power supplies are treated with three preventions, which can realize the effective heat dissipation and effective protection of internal devices of the power supply.

The above-mentioned industrial power products can accept customized production requirements without minimum order quantity restrictions.
