i-VISTA Grand Challenge to Start in September

As one of the highest-profile matches of Smart China Expo (SCE), i-VISTA Grand Challenge 2020 is scheduled for early September with four sub-matches — Strongest Car Brain Challenge, ADAS Challenge, Virtual Simulation Challenge, and Commercialization Process Challenge.

With the success of the previous two SCE events, i-VISTA Grand Challenge has emerged as an industry focus in China. It can be seen from the number of teams participating in this year's match. Some come from car enterprises and scientific innovation enterprises, and some universities and research institutes. Therefore, the Organizing Committee will launch a nationwide recruitment campaign for individual participants and continue to expand the scope of participating car types, thereby offering a competition platform for car types that have realized mass production.

Among the four sub-contests, the Virtual Simulation Challenge is a new addition. Its simulation scenarios include automatic driving and highway high-level automatic driving. Specifically, the automatic driving will simulate the environment of China Automotive Technology and Research Center Lijia Park and set up 15 test scenarios; the highway automatic driving will simulate the environment of the Beijing section of Yanqing-Chongli Highway and set up 29 test scenarios.

Moreover, the ADAS Challenge will attract participants from both car enterprises and individual car owners, and set up competition scenarios such as collision avoidance, parallel parking space and vertical parking space; the Strongest Car Brain Challenge will simulate urban transportation scenarios for automatic driving to conduct all kinds of automatic driving skill competitions on Chongqing's mountain roads; the Commercialization Process Challenge will be held on an about 4.8-kilometer-long section of Jinhai Avenue in two groups. One is for car types that will realize mass production, and the other is for automatic driving.
