Baidu invested in the largest project unmanned, has exceeded 20 billion yuan

"The biggest project Baidu has invested so far is unmanned, far exceeding the Baidu glutinous rice project with an investment of 20 billion yuan." On March 30, Wang Jin, senior vice president and general manager of Baidu's unmanned driving division, said.

On the same day, Wang Jin and Baidu Chief Scientist Wu Enda, Baidu Deep Learning Lab Director and Deputy General Manager of the Automated Driving Division, Lin Yuanqing shared the latest developments in Baidu unmanned vehicles and artificial intelligence technology at Baidu Building in Beijing.

In the "BAT" camp, Ali is known for e-commerce, and Tencent's socialization is very strong. Baidu's impression of the outside world seems to have been always on the search. However, Wang Jin said that Baidu is strengthening artificial intelligence technology, and hopes to use artificial intelligence technology to transform various product lines and use artificial intelligence to reconstruct the entire company's technology.

"The development of Baidu's future technology will be highly dependent on the development of artificial intelligence. Baidu's future development will be highly dependent on the development of artificial intelligence." Wang Jin said.

Baidu is ahead of other Chinese technology companies in artificial intelligence. In addition to recruiting well-known experts such as Wu Enda and Lin Yuanqing, it is not unrelated to its investment in computing, data and algorithms.

According to reports, Baidu has deployed hundreds of thousands of servers, and the supercomputer Minwa, which is developed, is equivalent to two Tianhe No. 1. In terms of data, Baidu has stored terabytes of EB-level data on the entire network. In terms of algorithms, Baidu has reached the world's largest DNN, supporting trillion parameters, 100 billion samples, and hundreds of billions of character training.

At present, Baidu's artificial intelligence technology has been applied to Baidu's search and advertising product lines and business lines.

What is more noteworthy is that with the help of artificial intelligence technology, in December 2015, Baidu's driverless car was the first in China to achieve fully automatic driving under mixed road conditions of cities, loops and highways. Recently, Wu Enda revealed that Baidu driverless cars will go to the United States for testing.

It is reported that the unmanned vehicle project is the most important technical direction of Baidu this year. Previously, Baidu had proposed a three-year commercialization of unmanned vehicles and a five-year mass production plan.

Cost is the key to whether an unmanned vehicle can finally be successfully commercialized. The cost of the Baidu unmanned vehicle that was tested last year was extremely high, and only one vehicle-mounted radar cost 700,000 yuan.

Wang Jin said that Baidu is working with partners and hopes to reduce the vehicle radar to less than 20,000 yuan within three to five years. It is reported that Baidu’s recently purchased unmanned vehicle-mounted radar has dropped to 500,000 yuan. Wang Jin further stated that when the unmanned vehicle is officially commercialized, the depreciation and usage fees are added up compared with the manual driving. The integrated price of the unmanned vehicle is only between one-fifth and one-third of the latter.

Talking about Google, another big player in the global unmanned field, Wang Jin said frankly that Google is still ahead of Baidu in general, but Baidu surpasses Google in some single items. "Baidu hopes to surpass Google in this five-year mass production."

At the end of 2015, Tesla, a luxury electric vehicle manufacturer in the United States, said that it will launch a complete driverless car in two years. In this regard, Wang Jin believes that "Eron Musk is very courageous."

For the next step in the development of Baidu's artificial intelligence project, Wu Enda believes that there are too many opportunities for artificial intelligence, but there are too few talents.

“I saw a lot of very valuable projects in Baidu, but there are not so many suitable people to try. In addition to unmanned projects, there are many opportunities in finance. I still have a lot of confident ideas on artificial intelligence.” Wu Enda said.

The FirstPower CFPS(2V) and LFPS(6V/12V) series stationary batteries (Opzs Battery) are the newly products which were developed at the end of 2005.
