From appearance, this vehicle equipped with L3 level automatic driving system is no different from ordinary mass-produced vehicles, and there isn’t even any external sensing equipment such as lidar. According to the staff of AutoBrain, this systme named "Mr.Pilot" does not use lidar, but uses a vehicle-regulation-level device of millimeter wave + camera + ultrasonic, covering the entire use of Highway Entry to Exit. The car is equipped with ABU (AutoBrain Unit), a Vehicle regulation level controller independently developed by AutoBrain, which can be embedded in the body without occupying the trunk space. It uses low-power consumption ARM + FPGA chips and has multiple scalable Interface of CAN and LAN, embeds software modules such as perception, decision-making, fusion, planning, control, recording, interaction, and OTA, and has system security redundancy. At the site of IEEVChina, this mass-produced autonomous driving product received attentions from government leaders, executives form tier 1, motor and car manufacturers.
