As of December 21, Changan Automobile has completed 34 days of intensive road testing, which involved 17 vehicles. Vehicles with L3 level autonomous driving systems. These tests were mainly conducted on the Inner Ring Expressway in Chongqing. This section is 74.1 kilometers in total and contains various complex road conditions, such as construction areas, long slopes, continuous curves, bridges, tunnels, and ramp merging. The traffic volume on this section of the road is extremely high, with the maximum one-way traffic volume reaching 94,000 vehicles per day, and the traffic volume during peak hours being as high as 7,300 vehicles per hour, providing a very challenging environment for autonomous driving testing.

According to the editor’s understanding, the self-driving model participating in the test this time is the Deep Blue SL03. This model is equipped with advanced L3 traffic jam autonomous driving system. The system uses multi-sensor fusion technology to achieve autonomous driving in single-lane traffic jams on structured roads, including automatic lane keeping and automatic car following functions. This means the vehicle can automatically follow the path of the vehicle ahead, adjust its speed, and ensure the driver is ready to take over control via a driver status monitoring camera.

It should be pointed out that although the L3 level autonomous driving function has been implemented on these test vehicles, it is currently only in the testing stage and has not been installed in actual models sold on the market. This means that although this technology demonstrates its advancement and potential, it does not mean that it is ready for use in all Changan vehicles.
