Intelligence + network connection will give birth to a new concept of car safety

  At present, the transformation of the automobile industry is accelerating, and autonomous driving is gradually moving from bicycle intelligence to intelligent network connection. Intelligent network connection vehicles have become the direction of the entire industry development or industrial upgrading.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Network Security and Data Security of the Internet of Vehicles", which once again brought high attention to the security issues of vehicle intelligence and connectivity.

  Data security management of the Internet of Vehicles is an important and difficult point

  The Internet of Vehicles is an emerging industry form that deeply integrates the new generation of network communication technology with the fields of automobiles, electronics, and road transportation.

Intelligent connected cars are equipped with advanced on-board sensors, controllers, actuators and other devices, and integrate modern communication and network technologies to realize the exchange and sharing of intelligent information such as cars and cars, roads, people, and clouds, and have complex environment perception and intelligent decision-making. , Coordinated control and other functions, which can realize a new generation of cars with "safe, efficient, comfortable and energy-saving" driving.

  According to data, the market penetration rate of China's intelligent networked vehicles in 2019 is about 35.3%. With the upgrading of autonomous driving and networked technologies, the market penetration rate will reach 75.9% in 2025. China is expected to become the world's largest intelligent networked vehicle market.

  Liu Dong, deputy director of the Internet of Vehicles Security Department of the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center, said: "The overall development of the intelligent networked automobile industry is the first to bear the brunt of security issues. This involves the overall national security, and the safety and development of the Internet of Vehicles must be fully coordinated."

  Liu Dong believes: "The network security of the Internet of Vehicles is very different from the traditional information system network security, and the industrial control system or the industrial Internet network security. It brings a new type of security business, and with it is a new type of security protection. And construction concept."

  The network security problem of the Internet of Vehicles stems from its multiple characteristics, including the strong correlation with personal safety and the spreading characteristics caused by the risk of multi-network integration.

Liu Dong said: “Once a vehicle is maliciously controlled in the future, it will bring great harm to traffic safety. According to predictions, hackers can paralyze traffic in a city as long as they invade more than 20% of the vehicles.”

  "The Internet of Vehicles involves many types of data and is difficult to classify, including in-vehicle data, vehicle trajectories, roadside geographic information, and a series of related data processed in the cloud. The security management of Internet of Vehicles data is a key and difficult point." Liu Dong said .

  In recent years, many electric vehicle traffic safety accidents have caused public opinion incidents and widespread public concern.

However, for the safety risks of autonomous driving, whether the responsibility belongs to the car side or the personal side is still in a fuzzy area.

In addition, the driving safety and information security brought by the over-the-air download technology (OTA) upgrade during the use of the vehicle also bring deceptiveness or uncertainty to the traceability of the accident.

  The security problem of the chip industry chain under external shocks is still outstanding

  The main key technologies involved in intelligent networked vehicles include large computing power chips, sensor technology, high-precision positioning and computing platforms.

Since the second half of last year, the global automotive chip shortage problem has begun to emerge.

Since the beginning of this year, many automakers around the world have been forced to suspend or reduce production due to a "shortage of cores".

How to solve the problem of lack of core and ensure the safety of the automotive chip supply chain?

In this industrial revolution that changes the traditional way of travel for human beings, how to "break the circle" of rapid growth with Chinese technology and Chinese solutions?

This is yet another problem facing China's auto industry.

  "The development of China's smart car market has become a global arena for high-performance smart chips." said Chen Liming, president of Beijing Horizon Robotics R&D Co., Ltd.

  He said that the innovative development of smart cars is mainly supported by the rapid iteration of software.

In the process of function realization, high-performance chips are needed to support the development of high-performance, and the development of high-intelligence chips in China is very fast.

  Miao Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and former minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that the security problem of the chip industry chain under external shocks is still outstanding.

Miao Wei said that basic software such as safe vehicle control operating system is basically mastered by foreign original equipment manufacturers and component suppliers, and tools such as design, development, and verification are also mainly from Europe and the United States. Foreign companies also have a comparative advantage in the underlying technology of vehicle operating systems. .

In addition, the emergence of autonomous driving safety issues poses new requirements and challenges for companies' R&D, testing and verification capabilities.

  Accelerate the innovative application of artificial intelligence, big data and information and communication technologies, and use intelligent network technology to significantly improve the safety, applicability and comfort of new energy vehicles, and provide users with a safe, green, efficient and convenient smart transportation experience .

The industry believes that the combination of intelligence and new energy will give birth to a new ecology in the automotive industry and reconstruct the global industrial chain.
