Expert Says China Driving Systems Are Behind Tesla FSD

According to Zhu Xichan’s, a professor at the School of Automotive Engineering of Tongji University, observation, the current capabilities of domestic [chinese] assisted intelligent driving systems are basically equivalent to FSD V11. However, the outside world has also questioned before that China’s road conditions are more complicated than those in the United States. Will Tesla FSD be “acclimated” after entering China? The aforementioned autonomous driving industry insiders told reporters that Tesla will use “shadow mode” when iterating FSD, collecting data through embedded hardware and running the test version of FSD like a “shadow” without directly outputting control commands, but the calculation results will be It is compared with the actual operation of the driver or the control command output by the current version of FSD to iterate its own capabilities. According to his speculation, Tesla has already conducted similar training in China and is just waiting to obtain “road rules.”

In the second half of last year, many domestic car companies launched L2+ intelligent driving functions on the market, which are between L2 and L3. Zhu Xichan, a professor at the School of Automotive Engineering of Tongji University, once said that L2+ level intelligent driving has made significant progress in capabilities compared with the traditional L2 level, with the number of takeovers reduced from more than 20 times per 100 kilometers to 1 to 2 times per 1000 kilometers.

On April 28, Musk paid a “whirlwind” visit to China, aiming to promote the implementation of FSD in the country. In the evening of the same day, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and the National Computer Network Emergency Technology Coordination Center issued the “Notice on the Testing of Four Safety Requirements for Automotive Data Processing (First Batch)”. The main content of the test is vehicle data security compliance. BYD 76 models from six companies including Li Auto, Lotus, Hezhong New Energy, Tesla and NIO meet the requirements. This means that Tesla FSD’s restrictions on stopping and moving in China will be gradually lifted.
