GUIYANG, China, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- About 30 global
autonomous driving engineers and 10 mentors from 12 countries
gathered in southwest China's
Guiyang City to join an open
collaboration camping program which kicked off on March 9. The "Move it Hackthon" program will see
two autonomous vehicles made and tested on roads within five days,
according to the Publicity Department of the CPC Guiyang
Committee.
An open smart factory named Czone and one global collaboration
platform were also launched by "Move it". The first "Move it"
global autonomous driving challenge was open for registration.
"Move it" is a global innovative open source community on
autonomous driving dedicated to the development, manufacturing and
promotion of latest automobile technologies. The "Move it
Hackathon" is the community's first offline activity, aiming to
address common challenges facing autonomous driving by cooperation.
The solutions will be shared to reduce innovation and application
thresholds of driverless cars and expand the technology's use.
The engineers and mentors who participate in this collaborative
camp all come from first-class self-driving enterprises and
universities. The activities covered wire control technology
transformation, algorithm debugging, automatic driving sample car
installation and commissioning, mentor sharing and so on. The
engineers will implement the line-controlled vehicle technology on
the spot and create the basic chassis of the line-controlled
vehicle. The automatic driving system will be installed and
debugged on a full-size car to achieve tracking and obstacle
avoidance based on differential GPS or laser radar as well as
traffic control personnel gesture recognition and control. The last
phase will be installing and debugging the self-driving cars and
then set for group competition.
