Perception, as the information input module of the automatic driving system, determines the lower limit of the entire automatic driving system. Both autonomous driving perception and robot perception are constantly approaching the real physical world through digital methods, and this real physical world is only limited to the scope of human perception, such as lane lines, traffic lights, driving obstacles, and so on. The main premise of this process is that humans already know the categories or properties of the physical world, and only allow machines and systems to replicate human responses. Whether it is a pure visual route or a multi-source fusion route, the essence is the difference between the perceptual system schemes, one focusing on the vertical and the other on the horizontal. The pure vision solution represented by Tesla or the multi-source sensor fusion file represented by Waymo. In fact, the perception module of the automatic driving system usually has multiple sensors to achieve information redundancy and information complementarity through multiple dimensions, but there is the possibility of information conflict between different sensors. This paper aims at the advantages of perception-driven artificial intelligence to achieve breakthroughs in autonomous driving innovation, and analyzes how perception fusion drive is applied to the practical application of autonomous driving, so as to analyze the future development prospects of artificial intelligence.
