The Evolution of End-to-End Autonomous Driving
How Li Auto Became a Leader in Intelligent Driving
Dublin, Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “End-to-end Autonomous Driving Industry Report, 2024-2025” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Global vs. Segmented Autonomous Driving
There are two types of end-to-end autonomous driving: global (one-stage) and segmented (two-stage) types. The former has a clear concept and much lower R&D cost than the latter. Global end-to-end autonomous driving relies on multimodal foundation models developed by technology giants like Google, META, Alibaba, and OpenAI. On the other hand, segmented end-to-end autonomous driving uses traditional CNN backbone networks for perception and end-to-end path planning.
Advancements in Autonomous Driving Technology
End-to-end autonomous driving researches can be conducted in simulators or based on real data collection. Companies like Horizon Robotics have been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge solutions in this field. The evolution of end-to-end autonomous driving technology has led to significant performance improvements over the years.
