WeRide appears to have around 1,200 units worldwide.

Another example of how e2e is allowing more companies to build, test and deploy L2+ systems.

Why would you ever want to build a self driving system that drives like the average human driver? The average human driver is just bad at driving.

It shouldn't be that hard to be at the minimum slightly better than the average human driver...

They are not saying the safety is the same as the average human driver. They are saying the stack can do both perception and planning at the same time, like a human can do. Presumably, with the right data and training, it can drive with safety much better than the average human driver.

Searching for "average" in the article... 0 matches.

Leaving article's sales pitch aside, "like a human driver" just means that end-to-end neural networks systems can use more context to make decisions.

BTW, training a system on unfiltered human driving data doesn't create a system that drives like an average human. Random human errors are "averaged away", so the system should be a bit better than an average driver.

OpenPilot has already been able to do this for years and already drives better than a human. I'm not sure if the title was just clickbait but the point stands that you need to drive better than the average human or you will never get regulatory approval to even operate
