When personal consciousness collides with historical fate, the spark flashes and the moment shines upon the sky of human civilization, which is where Zweig interprets the story of the 12 heroes who changed human history when "human stars shine."
Nowadays, the automotive industry has come to such a milestone, from the first carriages-type three-wheel car manufactured by Karl Benz, the father of cars, to the modular production of today's lean, historical wheels have been rolling a hundred years, so far this technical height The integrated industry has made its first leap forward: the reels of history are now turning to the smart driverless page, the car is no longer a simple tool, but the 'fourth screen' redefining the car as this The theme of the times.Darking car CEO Shen Haiyin that evolution from functional cars into smart cars, this era will complete the second leap in the automotive industry, the future of intelligent cars belong to the Internet business.
Internet thinking into the car manufacturing process, known as the 'Internet make cars', but not the outside world to understand the Internet business car repairs, and Internet thinking and traditional manufacturing industry when the collision is also the most likely star shine.
'Evolution from a vehicle to a four-wheeled robot'
Shen Haiyin, formerly known as Weichai Auto and Xiaopeng Automobile, was labeled "Internet Cheats" as the 360 vice president and vice president of Jinshan Software Group. In the Internet industry for many years, it is clear that 'Internet thinking' He is good at, and he has a different understanding of the Internet car.
Automobile will be the object of application of artificial intelligence, evolved from a tool into a highly integrated intelligent brain is the future direction of car development, however, the current automotive intelligence is still unable to meet the travel needs of the stage.Hai Haiyin that the intelligent era, The nature of cars becomes understanding your robot, which needs a smart brain.
How to make more Internet services to penetrate the car seamlessly? Instead of hard plug it into the car, which brings challenges to intelligence.Shen Haiyin that to make the car robot's brain become smart, It needs to be deeply involved in machinery and in artificial intelligence, which is also the major challenge to be solved by the second leap in the car.
'The hardware will be a platform, and the car will continue to have new features added and updated even after it arrives,' said Shen Haiyin.
The car hardware into a platform can be upgraded, which is similar to the mobile phone IOS system and this idea has now landed, December 15 at the GNEV8 conference, Shen Haiyin announced that it will use NVIDIA's artificial intelligence vehicle computing platform NVIDIA® The DRIVE ™ PX2 platform develops an autonomous driving system that aims to achieve autonomous driving of the SAE grading standard L3.5, and in artificial intelligence, SingPoint has taken it a step further.
In the hands of Nvidia and Shen Haiyin, they hope to focus more on the 'brain' of wheel robots in depth. The auto-driving development path chosen by the singularity car is based on the smart driving function most needed by the users, and through the early cloud platform , As well as powerful hardware devices such as processors and sensors to allow the car to achieve function upgrades and iterations without changing the hardware structure. The gradual transition to 'driverless' through mass data training and algorithm optimization eventually evolves to the maximum Limited to a variety of smart driving scenarios 'wheeled robot'.
Previously, Singularity car also accumulated some foundation in intelligent driving. It cooperated with academician Li Deyi to promote artificial intelligence project of 'driving brain' vehicle, cooperated with horizon robot to develop ADAS auxiliary driving system, and Oriental Force and Spirit Science and Technology jointly set up artificial Intelligent Research Institute.And a month ago, the odd point car by the Anhui Tongling city government invested 600 million US dollars, Singularity car settled in Tongling and build intelligent new energy automotive industrial park.The park is expected to invest a total of 80 billion yuan, annual production capacity Up to 200000. The above mentioned projects with the financing of the implementation, will also be achieved in Tongling Industrial Park.
Build an incubator
From 2016 to April this year, the first smart electric car production model singular iS6 Preview debut and start booking, a year's time, from the car prepared to take the foundry road to seek self-built factories, Shen Haiyin's Car ideas have undergone a complete change.
However, the first generation of singular cars or the traditional joint venture OEMs will be the number of production floor. So what is the difference between foundry production? As with DFI signed a confidentiality agreement, so in an interview with the media, Shen Haiyin However, he disclosed that the two sides should conduct all-round cooperation in R & D and testing, qualification declaration, project construction, manufacturing, technical personnel and capital services in intelligent new energy automotive products.
At the same time, he emphasized his own train of thought. Through the alliance with the traditional automobile, it is not a simple foundry model. Shen Haiyin hopes to build the future Tongling factory into an internal incubator in his heart. That is to say, different models can be mixed Production, through the platform can be customized to produce different personalized models. 'China is not the lack of factories, not capacity, but from a more flexible point of view to produce more varieties of cars, our production capacity of the factory is not set goals High, the future hope that through continuous expansion to enhance production capacity, according to demand for production capacity. "Shen Haiyin said that the first phase of Tongling Factory is expected to be delivered by the end of next year.
'The automotive industry is not a winner
Shen Haoyin also talked about the strong layout of intelligent driving, "Internet industry has a characteristic, that is -" winner take-all ", basically only to be able to subdivide the industry leader, second child have a chance.And the car The industry is an extremely fragmented market with more than 300 brands currently competing in the automotive industry, and this large and dynamic market offers room for fresh growth.
From the functional machine to the intelligent machine leap in the mobile phone industry has taken place and look back at the field of smart phones, local Internet companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi in the battles with Apple's success.In fact, whether it is search engines, shared cars, bicycles Or smart phones, you can see all industries are consumer favorite Internet companies are domestic brands.New car that the local Internet companies understand the local user experience, to meet the needs of localization, the use of preferences and habits, etc. is even better than one , Gain the competitive edge of the market, Huawei, Tencent, Baidu, dripping so much.Compared with foreign brands, local Internet companies have more advantages, and this advantage will also be radiated to the automotive industry.
This is why SHEN Hai-yin believes that smart cars belong to the Internet business.
Based on the understanding that the automotive industry is not a winner, Shen Haiyin does not care about the competition among emerging manufacturing companies and believes that the Singular and Wei Lai, Xiaopeng cars are allies. Consumers for automotive robots Demand is diverse, and based on these different needs, Shen Haiyin proposed to open and share the platform to do the car.If you can open, if you can from the manufacturing source, the source of the supply chain to achieve sharing, you can really achieve powerful combination.
'In the past, when the Internet industry started to change? In fact, from 3Q (Qihoo 360 v. Tencent abuse of market dominance) war started, Tencent fully open his platform after the birth of today's Internet was 400 billion US dollars, 5000 If you do not open the door, everyone will do their own thing, then the industry itself will not grow up, so we hope that the automotive industry in the future can be the case, Shen Haiyin said.
