It also allows our technology to easily adapt to new vehicle types and explore new applications. Fully redundant： Fully Redundant System. WeRide One has full redundancy to ensure safe running during all range of driverless scenarios, on both the hardware and software layers as well as on the operation level. Meanwhile, our remote assistance ranges from offers additional support to our autonomous vehicles amid complex traffic situations and road conditions. Self-evolving： WeRide One employs deep learning models designed in-house for perception, prediction, and planning modules. Instead of using predefined rules, these models are designed to learn from driving data collected by all of our fleets. Apart from the WeRide One, as an autonomous driving company, WeRide Technologies has many leading advantages in various technical modules of autonomous driving. Perception： We adopt a sophisticated perception framework with dual paths. The combination, or "fusion" of the camera, LiDAR, radar, and inertial motion sensors also enables 360-degree sensing with redundancy for our autonomous vehicles free of blind spots, with best-in-class performance also at poor visibility ensured by AI-based enhancement algorithms. Most of our perception models can achieve a latency of less than 10ms. With our perception system, we can achieve 99% detection accuracy, and the object contour error is less than 5 centimeters. The modules provide results not only from detection but also from understanding of surrounding objects and scenes. Prediction： Our deep-learning prediction model has been trained with vast amounts of real-world traffic data. The best-in-class performance prediction model enables our vehicles to more intelligently with other road users. Hence, this results in a better quality of decision makings, like the reduced chance of being stuck in heavy traffic scenarios. At the 2nd second of the predicted trajectory, our algorithm achieved a displacement error of less than 0.2 meters. We are able to accurately predict 97% of bicycle cut-ins and 98% of automobile cut-ins using our prediction algorithm. Planning and control： The planning algorithm is based on a “search and optimize” approach. Millions of possible ego-car trajectories are sampled by a neural network model, and ultimately the system comes up with a dozen most likely proposals. Then an optimization model that takes into account comprehensive metrics, including safety, comfort, efficiency, etc., selects the optimal among the candidates. Our control module is capable of performing precise autonomous vehicle maneuvers at centimeter-level accuracy to put into action a safe and efficient driving trajectory. During road tests, our control system was able to maintain its stability up to 120 km/h. Localization： With our industry-leading positioning technology, we are able to pinpoint the location of our autonomous vehicles in real time within two centimeters. Our multi-sensor fusion approach ensures that we can rely on multiple sources of positioning and are therefore able to realize full-scenario localization. Leveraging the strength of our sensors in real-time are able to achieve a sufficient level of positioning accuracy for safe autonomous driving in various challenging scenes including tunnels, bridges, multi-layer interchanges, and while encircled by a dense forest of skyscrapers. Modular sensor suite： LiDAR, cameras and radars are all part of our sensor suite, which includes a universal set of interchangeable components. These sensors can be easily assembled into different form factors to provide long-range, peripheral, and perimeter sensing, catering to the differences in dimensions and other specifications of our different autonomous vehicles. We adopt a fast iterative design for our sensor suite and have successfully developed five generations of products in a short span of time. We released WeRide Sensor Suite 5.0 in June 2022. Simulation platform： By using high-fidelity and physically accurate simulations, we are able to prepare our autonomous vehicle for real-world use in a safe, scalable, and cost-effective manner. It supports flexible specifications of digital assets (such as urban layouts, buildings, vehicles, and traffic lights), traffic scenarios, and environmental conditions. It is capable of generating a wide range of real-world scenarios for the development and validation of our automatic fleet. Our simulation platform currently features more than 230,000 scenarios. Training efficiency is over 200 times higher on our simulation platform than in real road tests. Analytics platform： Our engineers are able to view all vehicles' real-time running data in a single user interface remotely. All videos, system logs, and raw data are also indexed and ready for speedy searches offline. New data are labeled and added to our training dataset on a weekly basis and our models are automatically and periodically refreshed with new data on our cloud platform. Our analytics platform contains a data sanitization component that automatically anonymizes all sensitive data such as license plate numbers, GPS information, and human face from the data visualization before access is granted to our engineers.

Prospect
McKinsey predicts that China is likely to become the world's largest autonomous driving market in the future, with new vehicle sales and travel services related to autonomous driving generating more than $500 billion in revenue by 2030. According to McKinsey's key insights into the development of China's autonomous driving market: 1. Autonomous driving technology will deliver significant economic and customer value Autonomous driving will improve personal safety, reduce accidents by more than 90%, save drivers an average of 50 minutes a day, and help people who cannot drive (e.g., people with disabilities and the elderly) to travel autonomously; the new travel model brought about by autonomous driving can reduce the cost per kilometer compared to renting or buying a car. And, with fewer accidents, the cost of traffic jams and medical expenses are correspondingly lower. 2. The future of autonomous driving in China will be optimistic By 2030, autonomous driving will account for about 13% of total passenger miles traveled (PKMT) and will reach about 66% by 2040; self-driving passenger cars will reach about 8 million; by 2040, they will reach about 13.5 million; total sales of self-driving cars will reach about $230 billion by 2030 and about $360 billion by 2040; by 2030, the amount of orders for autonomous driving-based travel services will reach about $260 billion and by 2040 will reach about $940 billion. 3. Digitization of automobiles facilitates cost reductions, making the mass rollout of autonomous driving easier to achieve McKinsey predicts that 2025-2027 will be the inflection point for autonomous driving. Based on estimates of the underlying technology cost curve for autonomous driving, this will be the point of economic parity between autonomous driving and human driving. In other words, the total cost per kilometer of autonomous driving will be roughly equal to the cost of a driver driving a traditional car. After this inflection point, the market demand for autonomous driving will steadily increase. 4. The rollout of autonomous driving will grow in tandem with travel services China is rapidly promoting mobility services. Vehicles used for mobility services now account for about 10% of total vehicle sales in China. Private vehicles still dominate. Currently, 90% of PKMT comes from private passenger vehicles, with the rest coming from other travel services such as cabs and vehicle sharing. McKinsey predicts that by 2030, self-driving vehicles deployed by travel service providers will account for 11% of PKMT, and privately owned self-driving vehicles will account for 2%. By 2040, travel service providers will account for up to 55% of PKMT, and privately owned self-driving vehicles will account for only 11%. 5. Chinese consumers have a strong interest in autonomous driving According to a recent McKinsey study, 49 percent of Chinese consumers consider fully autonomous driving to be "very important" and another 49 percent consider it to be "optional. This is in stark contrast to German and U.S. consumers: only 16% of German and U.S. consumers consider fully autonomous driving to be "very important" and another 53% of German and U.S. consumers consider it to be "optional. Chinese consumers are willing to pay a premium of up to $4,600 for a self-driving vehicle, compared to $3,900 and $2,900 in the U.S. and Germany, respectively.
