The debate about AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking System) is escalating!
Following the "mutual hatred" between Huawei Yu Chengdong and Xiaopeng Motors He Xiaopeng, Zhao Changjiang, General Manager of Tengshi Sales Division under BYD, and Zhang Yong, CEO of Nezha Motors, also expressed their views on AEB on November 4th and 5th.
AEB Debate Continues
According to multiple media reports, on November 3rd, Huawei's executive director and terminal BG CEO Yu Chengdong posted on his Moments about AEB technology, stating, "There are even car company leaders who haven't figured it out yet." He said, "Some people haven't figured out what AEB is! Saying to someone that intelligent driving is deceiving, almost identical

Before Yu Chengdong made the aforementioned remarks, He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xiaopeng Automobile, also mentioned the aforementioned technology in a media interview. However, contrary to Yu Chengdong's viewpoint, He Xiaopeng stated, "Firstly, most people may never have touched the AEB. Secondly, when a friend told me about the AEB, I think 99% of it is fake. It's just fake, and the publicity is not official from the company. It's all from small videos. Our people also asked, and its AEB can't be driven at all. There are too many cases of accidental braking on the road
He Xiaopeng believes that the current discussion of AEB in the automotive industry is mainly focused on vertical AEB, which, in most cases, has a speed of less than 60 kilometers per hour when triggered. If the speed is too high, once the brake is accidentally applied, it will be a huge shock to the user.
We are now (using) We will focus on AEB as one of the directions in the future for XNGP technology. For example, a term we have been mentioning is called static AEB, which means that once there are obstacles around, the vehicle will actively avoid them and cannot hit them even if they want to. I think it's wrong to treat customers like mice. Some companies dare to do so, but there will also be backlash. I have been working in the automotive industry for a few years and I am not very willing to do so. But we will definitely do AEB better He Xiaopeng said.
After Yu Chengdong's above remarks were made, on the evening of November 4th, He Xiaopeng posted an article on his Moments, seemingly responding once again to this matter: "I recently evaluated an industry disorder, but the industry was not in a hurry, non industry people were in a hurry, I don't know what he was in a hurry about
Securities Times reporters have noticed that the current discussion on AEB is no longer limited to Yu Chengdong and He Xiaopeng, and several car company leaders are also joining in.
On November 4th, Zhao Changjiang, General Manager of Tengshi Sales Business Unit, stated on Weibo that AEB is an automatic emergency braking system for automobiles, an electronic system that assists in braking. It detects the distance from vehicles or obstacles in front through radar and analyzes it through electronic control units. Based on different distances and speeds, it determines whether there is a risk of collision, and maximizes the development of automatic emergency braking or slows down the vehicle, In order to reduce the probability of collisions with vehicles or pedestrians in front and avoid accidents. Zhao Changjiang said, "The Tengshi N7 can now start AEB at 60km/h, and in the future, the high-end intelligent driving version can achieve 80km/h or above. In addition, it has industry-leading false start capability
On November 5th, Zhang Yong, CEO of Nezha Motors, also expressed his opinion on AEB on his personal Weibo account, saying, "We have now delivered AEB on the ADC, J3, and ME platforms, with a starting speed of 100 kilometers per hour and a stable braking and stopping speed of 50+. The data from field tests is 80 kilometers per hour, with a score of around 98%
However, Zhang Yong admitted in the comment section of the Weibo account that the difficulty of AEB is very high: "The complexity of AEB scenarios is too high, and the functional performance may vary in various scenarios, such as weather, rainfall, sunlight, speed, and the size of obstacles. It is indeed very difficult to do a good job, requiring a large mileage and sample size testing
AEB is becoming increasingly popular
What is the AEB that sparked the big debate in the automotive industry?
According to public information, AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking), also known as the Automotive Emergency Braking System, is an electronic system that assists in braking. It detects the distance from the vehicle or obstacle in front through radar and analyzes it through an electronic control unit. Based on different distances and speeds, it determines whether there is a risk of collision, alerts the driver, and maximizes automatic emergency braking or slows down the vehicle, In order to reduce the probability of collisions with vehicles or pedestrians in front and avoid accidents.
At a time when consumers are increasingly concerned about the intelligence and safety of cars, some active safety configurations have become a key area of competition among major car manufacturers, with AEB being one of the key areas.
The reason why Yu Chengdong is so concerned about AEB may be because it is one of the important selling points of this year's AITO Inquire New M7.
In September of this year, AITO Wenjie's new M7 was launched, and within 50 days of its launch, it was expected to exceed 80000 units. In terms of intelligent safety, it is reported that the AEB active safety capability of the new M7 has once again broken through. During the testing process, the HUAWEI ADS 2.0 achieved a maximum braking speed of 90km/h in the mixed scenario of front and rear stationary vehicles and pedestrians, as well as in the side overturning scenario.
In fact, not only in the industry, but also in the current new cars, the assembly rate of AEB is getting higher and higher.
Passenger Association; According to the "Insight Report on Automotive Intelligent Networking in May 2023" released by Kerui Consulting, the current popularity of AEB automatic emergency braking system is very good, with passenger cars priced over 320000 yuan having basically completed the popularization of AEB, and the proportion of installed vehicles exceeds 90%. In the field of new energy, the popularization price of AEB has even moved down to the 240000 price range. In the range of 160000 to 320000 yuan, the popularity trend of AEB is also very obvious, with a loading proportion of over 60%, which is a very popular configuration in the market. In the range of 80000-160000 yuan, due to the pressure of new energy passenger vehicle costs, the proportion of AEB's vehicle installation lags behind the overall proportion of passenger vehicle installation, only two-thirds of the overall level of passenger vehicles. In the market range below 80000 yuan, the proportion of AEB has significantly decreased, and it has dropped to less than 1% in the first quarter of 2023.
These A-share companies have relevant layouts
Securities Times reporters have found that currently, multiple domestic A-share companies have also announced AEB related businesses on platforms such as announcements and interactive platforms.
Haoen Auto Electric stated that in the face of the rapid development trend of automotive intelligence, Haoen Auto Electric has laid out multifunctional ADAS front view integrated machine products in advance based on the mass production of low-speed intelligent parking.
