The lab has pioneered a smart drag system that surpasses the industry norm. It allows for seamless switching between scenarios and precise replication of traffic participant behaviors.
Against the backdrop of gradually enacted automatic driving policies, the industry faces unprecedented high demands for security and reliability of smart vehicles. The lab empowers automakers to thoroughly validate L3 and higher-level systems under extreme and complex scenarios. Through the verification, the automakers can ensure compliance, shorten development cycles, and mitigate risks.
Its operation means that every high-level autonomous vehicle must pass stricter, more comprehensive and more realistic risk assessments before hitting the road, significantly enhancing safety. The lab turns smart technology from theory into reality, translating technical advancement into tangible public benefits.
With a total area exceeding 5,000 square meters, the lab has established an advanced validation system that is more realistic and effective than any existing domestic facility. It ranks among the global leaders in overall capabilities owing to its breakthroughs in multiple core technologies.
