Smart cars have a bright future and need platform support

With the development of mobile Internet and the intervention of technology giants, the prototype of intelligent vehicle is becoming clearer.

From the beginning of the Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show (hereinafter "CES"), auto manufacturers and it manufacturers have become increasingly close to each other, showing the cross-border cooperation of automotive intelligent products. Signs that both domestic and foreign it bosses and car companies are still in the relevant technical reserves, Google, Apple and other internet giants have been allied with auto companies. The auto industry is entering the era of smart cars.

Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, June, Deputy chief engineer of China's first automobile group and director of Technology Center, said: "If [the car companies] cannot make breakthroughs and innovations in the technology of smart cars or smart cars, it will be eliminated by the intelligent age, which is why we pay so much for smart cars." ”

However, the specific commercial operation of smart cars still needs to cross the barriers of perceptual platform and standard technical regulations.

From the point of view of concrete and reality, intelligent driving system, life service system, safety protection system, position service system and Vehicle service system are the mature and predictable functions and systems of intelligent vehicles. It is these intelligent technologies that affect and change the auto industry and change people's lives.

As for the function system of the intelligent automobile, Konghui, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an honorary dean of the automobile Engineering College of Jilin University, points out that at present, the United States is mainly based on security, mainly in Europe, with information mainly from Japan, and China now combines the three to advance together. Among them, the network of vehicles is the development direction of intelligent transportation, and it will have great influence on the transportation industry and automobile industry.

Thilo Koslowski, vice president and chief automotive analyst at Gartner, points out: "To turn the car into the most innovative, versatile and ideal mobile device in the future, advanced computing is the basis for all this." By making these technologies wireless upgradeable, car manufacturers can improve their existing on-board features and provide new features throughout the vehicle life cycle. ”

Rubert Sch Rupert Stadler, Audi's president, pointed out that "in the past we have been better at making cars" and that "the auto industry has now entered an era of redefining mobility (adroit)." "In the process, many it vendors are partnering with traditional auto companies to build an intelligent automotive ecosystem."

At CES this year, Google announced the official launch of the "Open Auto Alliance", which aims to bring the Android experience to the automotive navigation and infotainment systems. Google will work with Audi, GM, Honda, Hyundai and other carmakers, as well as chip maker Nvidia, to "bring a pioneer technology experience to drivers". Users will be able to directly use the Smart car with Android, the built-in App store can download the relevant car applications, or have their Android devices connected to the car to achieve many features.

Prior to that, Apple also announced its own Iosinthecar program at WWDC (the Apple Computer Global Developers ' Conference). It is reported that this has attracted the BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and other companies interest. In early July, foreign media pointed out that Apple was working with Volkswagen Group. A number of car manufacturers in this year or will be equipped with a new version of iOS7.1, for the car to increase similar to Siri, video playback and map navigation and other functions.
