Six hours after Musk arrived in China, the restriction order on autonomous driving FSD was lifted!
Musk's influence is not to be underestimated!
Just six hours after he set foot in Beijing, the Tesla ban evaporated.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers released the good news that 76 models such as Tesla successfully passed the four checkpoints of car data security, and the former organ parking ban and airport high-speed restrictions have become the past.
Tesla, a superstar in the field of smart cars, is once again back at the center of China's new energy vehicles.
Tesla's FSD (full autonomous driving system) also appears to be accelerating its entry into the Chinese market, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for domestic electric vehicle competitors.
Tesla's Autopilot system is very different from other solutions on the market!
FSD represents true autonomous driving at the L4-L5 level, relying on pure visual neural networks that enable vehicles to respond as nimbly as experienced drivers, rather than rigidly following preset algorithms.
Every meter of the 1.6 billion kilometers of driving accumulated by global car owners contains valuable experience in intelligent driving, and combined with OpenAI's artificial intelligence deep learning, a large number of human driving habits, these advantages are difficult to match other domestic car companies.
Humans usually rely on vision to observe the front, left and right rearview mirrors and reverse images, so the scheme through full camera recognition can theoretically simulate the driving behavior of human drivers well, and the probability of human mistakes is lower.
On the evening of April 28, Chinese officials certified that the products of Tesla's Shanghai factory meet the standards, becoming the only foreign brand to meet the requirements of automobile data security.
The no-travel and no-stop restrictions began to lift, and Tesla has been unimpeded in all key institutions in Beijing.
This is not only a recognition of Tesla, but also a milestone in China's smart car safety compliance.
So how does Tesla ensure compliance?
Anonymous processing of faces outside the car, no collection of cockpit data by default, closed-loop processing of data inside the car, transparency of privacy protection, coupled with the completion of the Shanghai data center in 2021, data localization storage, Musk has made a comprehensive security commitment.
Musk proved with practical actions that whether it is a local brand or a foreign brand, China treats data security equally and implements fair competition.
The spring of intelligent driving has quietly arrived.
Tesla's cooperation with Baidu Maps has excited the market, and its stock price has skyrocketed before the market.
Although it will take time for FSD to be rolled out in the country, the green light for data security is already on, indicating that anything is possible.
The litmus test of the intelligent driving strength of domestic new energy vehicles has appeared.
For domestic car companies, liDAR combined with vision sensors, although the cost is higher, but under the promotion of Tesla, it is likely to make faster progress.
Looking back, there is no doubt that China was a good place for Tesla.
The production capacity of the Shanghai Gigafactory has become the support of its soaring global sales and helped it sit on the throne of Musk's richest man in the world.
However, the five-year product "desert period" has made Tesla's halo gradually dimmed, the rise of independent brands, and the distribution of overseas markets, forcing Tesla to urgently need a new strategy.
Fortunately, the Chinese market is still full of hope, if Tesla's FSD can successfully land, it will undoubtedly bring new vitality to the field of intelligent driving in China, and also indicates that the win-win new era of cooperation between foreign brands and the Chinese market is about to open, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for domestic cars.
Musk's trip to China is definitely not for nothing.
Tesla has not only unlocked the achievements of safety compliance, but is more likely to lead the next outlet of intelligent driving in China.
