Hello, Secretary Dong! Recently, there has been an increasing number of people saying “focus on perception, not maps”, and more and more companies have launched autonomous driving solutions that do not rely on high-precision maps. This is very bad news for your company. If a consensus is formed in the industry, it will be a fatal blow to your company. Do you have a plan to deal with such market opinions and technological trends?

NavInfo: Hello, high-precision maps can provide prior data that is not affected by the environment in beyond-line-of-sight situations, becoming a necessary safety redundancy for other types of sensors, while greatly reducing the computing power requirements for the back-end algorithm. Therefore, scenes such as intersections and ramps require map matching, which has become an important component and feature of our autonomous driving solution. Mainstream car manufacturers will come with autonomous driving maps as standard starting from the L2+ function, which is precisely the "industry consensus". The "Guidelines for the Construction of the Basic Map Standard System for Intelligent Vehicles (2023 Edition)" recently issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources, in which the company participated deeply in the formulation, is also a good proof for your reference.
