According to news on June 20, NIO’s Intelligent Driving R&D Department has recently completed a major structural adjustment to better adapt to and promote the development of intelligent driving technology. According to a report by LatePost, this adjustment involves many key areas of the R&D department.
Before this adjustment, the structure of NIO’s Intelligent Driving R&D Department mainly included perception, control, and integration. However, after recent reorganization, the perception and control teams have been merged to form a new large model team. At the same time, the original integration team was also reorganized and transformed into a delivery team. This change means that NIO will pay more attention to the application and development of large models in the research and development of intelligent driving technology. The newly established large model team will be led by Peng Chao, the former head of NIO’s perception team.
We have learned that despite such a large-scale structural adjustment, the overall person in charge of NIO’s Intelligent Driving Department has not changed and is still the Vice President of NIO’s Intelligent Driving Department. After the adjustment was completed, the vice president clearly conveyed a message to the team: Weilai will abandon the traditional R&D model of "perception-decision-control" that has been used for a long time in the industry. This decision shows NIO’s determination and innovative spirit in intelligent driving technology. They plan to implement higher-level intelligent driving functions through end-to-end large models. Compared with the smart driving teams of other major automakers,Nio’s smart driving team is relatively small, currently about 1,500 people. In comparison, Huawei's smart driving team has more than 7,000 people, and BYD and Xpeng's team sizes have reached about 4,000 and 3,000 respectively. Although the team is small, NIO’s performance in the field of intelligent driving is still eye-catching.
Previously, Weilai’s May smart driving operation report showed that itstotal number of smart driving users has reached 515,811, and its smart driving mileage in a single month has exceeded 100 million kilometers, while Linghang The total assisted mileage is also close to 1 billion kilometers. These data fully prove NIO’s leading position in intelligent driving technology and users’ high recognition and trust in NIO’s intelligent driving system.
The above is the detailed content of NIO is revealed to have restructured its smart driving team, and its end-to-end large model helps high-end smart driving. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
