According to Electric Home News, on July 22, according to 36Kr's "Future Automobile Daily" report today, Zhou Peng, the former head of Baidu's cabin-driving fusion intelligent driving technology, has joined BYD and is responsible for the development of end-to-end large-model regulatory control algorithms.

Zhou Peng is not affiliated with the Intelligent Driving R&D Center of BYD Planning Institute, but works in a department independent of the Planning Institute, which focuses on the application of intelligent driving algorithms. The report disclosed the organizational structure: the department is on the same level as the Intelligent Driving R&D Center, the head of the Intelligent Driving R&D Center is Han Bing, and the head of the algorithm application department is Xu Lingyun, the former intelligent driving director of HiPhi Auto. Zhou Peng will report to Xu Lingyun. People familiar with the matter said that end-to-end intelligent driving has gradually become a clear industry consensus, and BYD is currently in the initial exploration stage. As of press time, BYD has not responded to this news.

Smart driving industry insiders said that the mass production of end-to-end large models is based on investment in R&D and training models. "The training of AI models requires a lot of algorithm investment, which corresponds to the increase in computing power and heavy R&D costs." "End-to-end is very demanding on algorithms, and it is necessary to compress dozens of lines of code into one line. If there is no technology,big cow（parameter丨picture) is in charge, it is easy to do useless work. "To train end-to-end algorithms, massive and high-quality data is required, which requires the development of an efficient technical framework and team. "It is difficult for a person in charge without mature project experience to build a technical framework and coordinate the team."

At present, BYD's intelligent driving strength is obvious to all in the industry. At BYD Dream Day on January 16, 2024, Wang Chuanfu personally admitted that the size of the intelligent driving team has expanded to 4,000 people. At the same time, BYD Vice President Yang Dongsheng also revealed that BYD cars will be equipped with cockpit integrated chips with computing power of 1000TOPS and 2000TOPS in the future. More than a month later, BYD was exposed to the merger of the Intelligent Cabin Center and the Intelligent Driving Center, and BYD's goal has also expanded to cockpit integration and full-vehicle intelligence. On June 4 this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the first batch of "Smart Internet Car Access and Road Traffic Pilot" list, with a total of only 9 car companies, covering passenger cars, trucks, buses and other types. Most of these companies have state-owned backgrounds, and the only passenger car companies without state-owned backgrounds are BYD and Weilai.

On July 16, Zhang Zhuo, general manager of BYD Auto Ocean Network Sales Division, said in an interview with the media that BYD's intelligent driving team currently has thousands of people and hundreds of millions of investments. At the same time, it adheres to the goal of "mass production as soon as it is released" and will never make PPT intelligent driving. At the same time, BYD will continue to play its "low-cost" advantage and hopes to fully realize BYD's self-developed, self-produced and self-sold intelligent driving system as standard in models around 150,000 yuan or even below 150,000 yuan within 2 to 3 years.
