Intelligent Internet will lead the new round of automotive technology development trend

After a hundred years of automotive industry, with many rounds of technology and process development has grown so far. So the next five years, the most important battlefield car manufacturers technology competition is what? New energy vehicles? Non-also, GIC Research to nearly a thousand industry experts, executives and young users found that automotive intelligence and car networking technology over new energy vehicles is considered the real focus of the car manufacturers Competition.

Quite a few automakers are not ready for the smart car that will lead the new wave of automotive technology, as drivers of this round of technological trends are not carmakers at this juncture; rather, they are a new generation of information and intelligence around the world The wave of technology in the field of automotive extension, the prevalence of intelligent hardware, consumer demand for ubiquitous connectivity, so that car manufacturers are gradually passive in understanding and adaptation.

Define car intelligence and connectivity

Today, when the topic of "intelligent car" is getting rid of, the definition of authoritative standard is not actually defined on this concept. From different aspects, the scope and content of coverage are different. For example, functional uses include autopilot, cruise control, car networking, active safety and so on; parts belonging to navigation, powertrain, chassis and so on. Setting a standard for the level of vehicle intelligence also remains to be filled.

In short, "intelligence" and "automation" are closely linked to liberate manpower from driving and improve the comfort and safety of driving. Combining with the traditional classification of "car control" and "car" of automobile technology, the intelligent function service of automobile can be divided into two dimensions of "smart body function" and "intelligent vehicle service"; the former includes powertrain , Intelligent chassis and body control, focusing on the functions of the car itself, while the latter include active safety, driving convenience and monitoring, focusing on car-people, car-car and car-community associations.

To this end, we can be the first type of car-controlled intelligent technology referred to as "smart", and then a class of car-based intelligent technology referred to as "Internet." The combination of the two is a more macro concept of "smart car interconnection."

There is a cross between intelligence and internet. Similar sensors are commonly used in vehicle and vehicle control and other functions. The progress of the two are also closely linked with each other. Some opinions put forward the intelligent development path of "car entertainment-car safety-assisted driving-people-passenger interaction-intelligent transportation-car networking-automatic driving", and the process is not linear. Each entry is not so much a development node as it is That is the context of interwoven promotion.

Beyond the new energy into the largest technology development trend

In many industry surveys at home and abroad, new energy and intelligence are the major trends in the future car evolution. New energy vehicle technology because of the battery and charging facilities and other issues difficult to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of development, and gradually fall into a slow state. However, due to the rapid development of smart hardware and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the world, the intelligent interconnection continuously emits heat waves and application hot spots.

As new technologies and applications emerge, new players cross-border and new business cooperation models are evolving, Smart Link has become the latest wave of technology developments and is expected to extend into the next decade as a vehicle for technology updates and The theme of change.

According to statistics, more than 90% of the innovations in the automotive industry have been related to intelligent vehicle systems in recent years. This alarming proportion has greatly exceeded the popularity of new energy vehicles. Countries and car companies have embarked on car intelligence and car networking technology development and practical.

For example, auto makers such as GM, Volkswagen, Ford, Renault-Nissan and others are building autonomous vehicles; luxury car manufacturers such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz also have automations Driving technology development plan, Volvo is taking the lead in large-scale automated pilot test; IT giant Google as one of the leaders in automatic driving technology, modified self-driving car, it has launched a self-developed driverless car; Continental, Delphi Other parts suppliers are also beginning to get involved in the development of automatic driving technology, and together with the OEM.

In the car system, Apple introduced CarPlay system based on iOS, will be used in Volvo, Ferrari and Hyundai and other brands; Ford and Microsoft jointly developed SYNC function to create MyFord Touch touch screen system; Chrysler and other companies also used from Blackberry QNX software; in late June this year, Google officially released Andrews automotive systems, OAA Open Automotive Union more than 40 companies involved in the project.

Domestic enterprises will also be more and more attention to smart car interconnection. In 2012, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued with the Ministry of Finance the "2012 IOT Development Fund to Support Project", which includes the field of intelligent transportation and car networking. The media interpreted this as a signal from the policy level that the state released support for the development of intelligent automotive technology. Intelligent market prospects have also been optimistic, Deshunsee chairman and general manager Chen Chunlin predicts that in 2015 China's smart car market will exceed 150 billion yuan.

The mainstream car manufacturers took the initiative to take the initiative

Although some auto makers have been intelligently exploring high-end and luxury cars in recent years, most intelligent technologies are far from common car models and owners. The new round of smart car interconnection technology development is not a simple extension of this exploration in the low-end models, although they are similar to the intersection, but there are essential differences: the former focus on designing and producing a better car, after The purpose is to allow owners to better connect to the digital world through smart cars and experience a better connected life. The goal is not the same center of gravity, technology and product innovation and product innovation very different.

In the face of the tide hit, it is fortunate that many mainstream car manufacturers take the initiative to embrace the change, from the main traditional intelligence, to the IT industry and the Internet industry cross-border cooperation, is to create a unique Internet-based intelligent competitiveness.

In recent years, the rapid development of Internet and IT technology is obvious to all, which brings a brand new opportunity for change to the automobile industry. Due to the characteristics of the industry, IT electronic replacement faster than the machinery industry pearl car, a variety of intelligent mobile devices a year or two derived a new generation of products, and app application cycle is more on a monthly basis. Therefore, the association with the IT industry to promote the development of the automotive industry as a driving force to promote a higher rate of vehicle upgrades.

In the current situation, IT companies seemingly cooperate more with automakers, with Google's OAA Open Car Association attracting dozens of car companies, while Apple's Siri Automotive Integration and CarPlay also received more than a dozen cars Brand support.

What is the future of smart car and car networking in the end?
