8月15日,贵阳市金仓路一处双向单车道窄街,成为第二届智驾大赛贵阳站预赛的关键考点。12辆车按顺序驶入,考核三点式掉头;37分钟后,11辆车未能自主通过,原因包括系统提前退出、车辆卡住、动作偏离或车主接管。埃安N60在车内人员与社会车辆协调后完成这一动作,搭载文远知行方案,总算力为200 TOPS

On August 15, a narrow, two-way single-lane street on Jincang Road in Guiyang became the key test point in the Guiyang qualifier for the second Smart Driving Competition. The 12 vehicles entered in sequence and were evaluated on a three-point turn; after 37 minutes, 11 vehicles had failed to complete it autonomously. Reasons included the system exiting early, the vehicle becoming stuck, the maneuver deviating from the intended path, or the owner taking over. The Aion N60 completed the maneuver after occupants coordinated with other road users’ vehicles. It uses a WeRide solution and has total computing power of 200 TOPS.

埃安N60最终得到117.81分(满分120),全场最高;其NOA全场景能力零扣分,接管次数为零。蔚来ES8配备三颗激光雷达、1000+TOPS算力,取得97.5分;智界R7得分88.42分,问界M9得分84.92分。最终晋级决赛的五辆车为埃安N60、蔚来ES8、风云T9L、智界R7和智己LS8。

Translation · English

The Aion N60 ultimately scored 117.81 points (out of 120), the highest score in the event; its full-scenario NOA capability received no deductions, and the number of interventions was zero. The Nio ES8, equipped with three lidar units and more than 1000 TOPS of computing power, scored 97.5 points. The Luxeed R7 scored 88.42 points, while the AITO M9 scored 84.92 points. The five vehicles that ultimately advanced to the final were the Aion N60, Nio ES8, Fengyun T9L, Luxeed R7 and IM LS8.

这次掉头也说明,硬件规模与单点表现并不总是同步。ES8识别到对向车流会等待并完成了转向,但在窄路博弈中因等待、后车逼近和读秒,最终由车主接管。星纪元ET抢先转过车头,却被一辆公交车顶住,在5秒读秒即将结束时触发接管。乐道L60此前在火车站路口择路成功,但在这里虽有掉头意图,最终仍被卡住。

Translation · English

The U-turn also showed that hardware scale and performance in a specific scenario do not always move in tandem. The ES8 recognized that oncoming traffic would wait and completed the initial steering maneuver, but ultimately required the owner to take over during the narrow-road negotiation because of the wait, a vehicle approaching from behind and the countdown. The Exeed Sterra ET turned its front end first, but was blocked by a bus and triggered an intervention with the five-second countdown about to end. The Onvo L60 had previously chosen the correct route at a railway-station intersection, but here, despite indicating an intention to turn around, it ultimately became stuck.

Original · Chinese

N60的“零接管”需要附带两个前提。此前一次接管记录在赛后被主裁判复议取消,理由是单行道两侧被堵死、没有通行空间;此外,车辆掉头时,车内随行人员向场外社会车辆喊话,前车随后让出半个车位,N60借弯完成动作。比赛规则尚未书面界定这种道路沟通是否构成人为干预,相关录像已公开供核对。

Translation · English

The N60’s “zero interventions” result comes with two qualifications. One intervention recorded earlier was overturned by the chief judge after the event, on the grounds that both sides of the one-way street were blocked and there was no space to pass. In addition, as the vehicle was turning around, accompanying personnel inside the vehicle called out to other road users’ vehicles outside, after which the vehicle ahead gave up half a parking space and the N60 completed the maneuver by using the bend. The competition rules have not yet defined in writing whether this kind of road communication constitutes human intervention; the relevant footage has been made public for verification.

具体而言,这场结果对比赛意味着,单车道掉头、社会车辆博弈等细节足以重新排列参赛车辆的表现顺序,但分数仍受裁定口径影响。在下一场山路决赛开始前,赛事需要回答喊话如何计入规则;参赛车辆则将在次日12:30面对新的测试。

Translation · English

Specifically, the result means that details such as single-lane U-turns and negotiating with other road users’ vehicles are enough to reshuffle the performance order of competing vehicles, while scores remain subject to the judging criteria applied. Before the mountain-road final begins, the event needs to answer how calling out should be counted under the rules; the competing vehicles will face a new test at 12:30 the following day.
