近日,据36氪报道,百度Apollo调整了组织架构。一方面,百度正推动IDG(智能驾驶事业群组)下属的智能汽车事业部(L3)、自动驾驶事业部(L4)二者的合并;另一方面,百度新增了智能交通业务组,该部门未来将专注交通基础设施智能化升级,为城市提供车路协同系统、区域智能信号优化系统等下一代智能交通解决方案。与此同时,原有的车联网业务组将继续开展小度车载OS等智能车联业务。
有百度员工表示,公司分拆了智能汽车事业部(L3)的技术部分和业务部分,将前者整合进自动驾驶事业部(L4),同时保留后者。亿欧汽车获悉,该变化在大概两周之前就已发生,智能汽车事业部(L3)的总经理由原百度地图负责人顾维灏担任,但两周前该事业部技术线人员的汇报对象变为自动驾驶事业部(L4)的技术负责人王云鹏,顾维灏去向未定。对此,百度表示不予置评。
据了解,百度智能汽车事业部(L3)主要面向车企提供L3级量产方案,包括高速自动驾驶、自主泊车解决方案、以及高精地图;自动驾驶事业部(L4)则主要提供自动驾驶出租车、无人小巴等解决方案。
业内普遍认为,相较于L3级自动驾驶技术而言,L4级的实现难度更大、技术要求更高、商业化进程趋缓,资本也在今年逐渐变得更为冷静。而L3则是为大多数主机厂所接受的方案与现阶段追求的目标。
因此,百度智能汽车事业部(L3)被公司寄予了一定的商业化希望。最初,该事业部的研发重点集中在高速自动驾驶领域,但在今年上半年,百度内部逐渐将业务重心转向自主泊车解决方案方面。今年7月的百度AI开发者大会上,自主泊车(Valet Parking)被当作重点业务进行介绍,当时顾维灏在现场详解了自主泊车(Valet Parking)的使用场景、软硬件配置、合作对象、最新进展以及未来规划,为参会者描绘了一幅未来驾驶员在停车场门口下车、用手机操控车辆自动泊入停车位的美好画卷。
与此同时,百度自动驾驶事业部(L4)的RoboTaxi项目也仍在进行中,该项目首先将目光瞄准长沙。今年9月,百度在长沙投放45辆RoboTaxi,开始面向普通市民试运营,算是兑现了7月份开发者大会上“在长沙打造全国最大规模L4级自动驾驶车队”的Flag。在长春,百度与一汽红旗打造的中国首条L4级乘用车前装产线也已投产下线。
从表层意义来看,百度决定将两个事业部进行部分合并,或许是出于整合资源的目的,毕竟百度现在的智能驾驶事业群组内部架构稍显分散,L3和L4群组的某些工作有所重复,如将二者整合,将提高工作效率,减少成本。但另一方面,L3和L4群组大部分工作内容仍存在较大差异,如L3的高精地图就不适配于L4,之所以出现如此变动,或许是由公司内部人事变动引起。但无论如何,随着两个事业部的部分整合,未来百度自动驾驶战略或会出现新变化。
