TapTechNews September 19th news, IM Motors today announced that the IMAD map-free urban NOA will beactivated nationwide in October, available for all vehicle models (TapTechNews note: including 2024 IM Motors L7/LS7 LiDAR version, LS6/L6, and the new IM Motors LS6). The U-turn and ETC toll booth functions are expected to be pushed within the year.
The urban NOAdoes not rely on high-precision maps. Under the condition of effective user monitoring, it has basically realized functions such as automatically planning paths, autonomous lane changing, autonomous intersection passage, and avoiding and detouring in complex scenarios. IM Motors stated that it will focus on the development of the map-free urban NOA, based on visual perception and data-driven, accurately identifying road features, traffic markings, etc., and ultimately achieving urban NOA that can be driven across the country.
It is known that this function will be widely applicable toregular and various irregular roads in areas where the map-free urban NOA function is activated. In the areas covered by navigation, including urban main roads, secondary roads, and even rural roads, mountain roads, and scenic area roads can be used. In addition, the end-to-end large model algorithm can also empower NOA to cover extreme scenarios such as roundabouts, U-turns, and ETC toll booths 2 to achieve easy driving in all national road conditions.
