On March 1, the national recommended standard of "Auto Driving Automation Classification" (GB/T 40429-2021) was officially implemented, meaning that the pace of large-scale commercialization of autonomous driving in China is accelerating and domestic head players have become leading players in the autonomous driving industry.

Recently, the city of Hefei released a new version of the "Management Specifications for Intelligent Networked Vehicle Road Testing and Demonstration Applications in Hefei", which will open up no less than 100 square kilometres of automated driving testing areas and no less than 400 kilometres of open roads for automated driving testing, and promote the testing and operation of 100-class automated driving vehicles. As the first bus company to be granted a driverless test license in Anhui, Ankai bus will once again start a new journey of driverlessness!

Since 2017, when Ankai's driverless buses first ran on the open road in Shenzhen, Ankai has continued to promote the update and upgrade of driverless technology and has put them into operation on the open road in many cities, including Shenzhen, Wuhan, Tianjin, Macau and Hefei, and exported them to Japan. Through the road trials in different cities, Ankai buses have accumulated rich experience in driverless operation, bringing more possibilities for urban transportation development.

As early as many years ago, Ankai bus carried out basic data exploration and research and development reserves, and participated in the research and development of national key projects, combining self-driving technology with artificial intelligence, data processing, Internet of Things and cloud computing and other technologies, creating the "high value and intelligence" Ankai driverless bus.

The Ankai driverless bus is small and agile, with smooth lines and a highly technological and futuristic design. With the support of many high technologies such as LIDAR, millimetre wave radar, cameras and GPS antennas, it can automatically sense and identify traffic signs, pedestrians and motor buses, and has automatic driving functions such as real-time bus positioning, automatic turning, stopping at stations, intelligent identification of traffic lights, avoiding pedestrians, and automatic detouring when encountering obstacles.

In addition, the bus can also achieve scheduling control and status control, independent selection of pre-defined planning routes, automatic driving and other modes, promoting the innovation and application of key technologies of automatic driving and bus-road collaboration.

In the key year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the innovation of driverless vehicles industry has accelerated and upgraded. In the development process of intelligent networked vehicles, Ankai bus has continued to innovate and explore. The new intelligent models will promote the development and operation of self-driving technology and provide strong technical support and product support for the development of driverless vehicle industry.

With a lot of great achievements , Ankai bus is a pioneer in the field of driverless driving, which is expected to accelerate the iteration of driverless technology, the gathering of driverless industry in Anhui and the process of commercialization of driverless vehicles nationwide.
