Ford to buy cheaper CATL EV batteries to catch Tesla​

DETROIT, July 21 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) on Thursday said it will import lower-cost lithium iron batteries for its North American electric pickup trucks and SUVs from Chinese battery champion CATL (300750.SZ), as it works on a broader alliance with CATL and an array of separate deals to secure battery and battery materials into the next decade.

Ford Vice President Lisa Drake said the automaker plans to secure lithium-iron, or LFP, batteries from a new 40 GWh factory in North America starting in 2026. Drake would not say if that factory would be built by CATL. Reuters reported in May that CATL was looking at U.S. sites to build EV batteries to serve Ford and BMW. read more

Ford announces series of deals to accelerate EV push​

DETROIT, July 21 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) on Thursday announced a series of deals to accelerate its shift to electric vehicles, including sourcing battery capacity and raw materials from such companies as Chinese battery maker CATL (300750.SZ) and Australian mining giant Rio Tinto (RIO.AX).

The deals are part of Ford's push to have its annual EV production rate globally reach 600,000 vehicles by late 2023 and more than 2 million by the end of 2026. Ford said it expects a compound annual growth rate for EVs to top 90% through 2026, more than doubling the forecast industry growth rate.

搞笑的是丰田电动车的车机系统是买的福特两年前的技术，明年才能升级。福特的车机系统已经比特斯拉和比亚迪落后了。这次电动车专利壁垒把日本和德国车打疼了，哈哈

德国车只有博世还掌握一些刹车系统核心专利，其他的厂家都被抛到后面了。

中国搜索公司百度公开了下一代自动驾驶车辆“Apollo RT6”，并宣称其自动驾驶技术，相当于拥有20年驾龄的司机。

目前的中国法规仍然规定自动驾驶汽车必须有一名安全驾驶员在座。

但百度表示，未来有一天终将能够拆掉RT6的可拆卸式方向盘，空出来的位置可以多装一个座位，或者视需要安装自动贩卖机、办公桌、或是游戏机。

百度表示，Apollo RT6成本仅为25万元人民币（31,000英镑），远远低于上一代型号。

百度共同创办人兼首席执行官李彦宏在2022百度世界大会上表示，“无人驾驶汽车成本的大幅下降，以至于我们可以部署上万辆这样的车在全国各地了。未来打无人车，要比现在打车便宜一半。”

根据百度规划，RT6将在2023年后半年度加入现行的Apollo Go自动驾驶出租车服务，进行小规模试验，并最终计划投放10万辆上路。

Apollo RT6一共有38个传感器，包括12个摄像头，12个超声波传感器，八个光学雷达（Lidar）。

百度表示，在深圳、上海、北京等10个城市试验的Apollo Go自动驾驶出租车服务，从2020年开始以来已经有超过100万次试乘次数。

• 北京首批付费自动驾驶计程车载客上路
• 特斯拉无人驾驶汽车司机因“超速时打瞌睡”被控
• 百度现象折射中国互联网：牢笼又是丛林

但BBC中国媒体分析员凯丽·艾伦（Kerry Allen）表示，中国社交媒体上有许多讨论，担心自动驾驶出租车的安全以及对就业的冲击。

“在一些试点地区，许多网友也表示想要体验自动驾驶出租车但却‘很难叫得到’。”

中国其他发展自动驾驶出租车的公司还包括阿里巴巴的AutoX，前谷歌和百度工程师创建的小马智行（Pony.ai）。

日本不是铁了心整氢能源汽车吗

王八吃秤砣也无法解决氢储存的问题，基本上放弃了。
