"By 2030, an ICV standard system that can support the coordinated development of bicycle intelligence and connected empowerment will be fully formed. More than 130 ICV-related standards will be formulated and revised, and an implementation effect evaluation and dynamic improvement mechanism will be established to meet the needs of the combination. Full-scenario application requirements for driver assistance, autonomous driving, and connectivity…”
On September 16, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "Guidelines for the Construction of the National Vehicle Networking Industry Standard System (Intelligent Connected Vehicles) (2022 Edition)" (Draft for Comments), proposing to take the intelligent networked vehicles as the core carrier and application carrier, and "traction". Vehicle-Road-Cloud" coordinated development.
The rapid development of intelligent networked vehicles is achieving positive interaction with policy supervision.
As one of the "new four modernizations" of automobiles, how intelligence will reshape the industrial structure and the lives of users has also attracted great attention both inside and outside the industry.
The second half of new energy vehicles: intelligence
Zhang Hong, secretary general of the New Energy Vehicle Branch of the Circulation Association, said in an interview with Shell Finance reporter that if the time is pulled back to 10 years ago, the intelligence of automobiles is probably reflected in two fields: one is the production field, that is, relying on digital intelligence to formulate Production planning, coordination of parts supply, quality assurance and smooth logistics.
The second is to improve the efficiency and safety of the car body and driving, that is, to ensure the safety of driving and reverse parking through the front and rear driving cameras, to reach the destination accurately and quickly through the navigation, to relax the mind through the audio, and to ensure the communication with the outside world through the car phone.
All in all, the previous car intelligence is to ensure that the car can be used more effectively and comprehensively.
Today, the intelligence of automobiles has undergone revolutionary changes, or fundamental upgrades, compared with the past.
Zhang Hong mentioned that from the conceptual level, "people-centered" is the innovation goal of the intelligent vehicle connection; from the technical point of view, 5G plus AI will enter the vehicle intelligent network system at the same time.
The current automotive intelligence is based on autonomous driving, in-vehicle intelligent assistants, high-precision map navigation, ecological data such as refueling, parking and charging, and cloud computing as the main technological content.
In the past, automobile intelligence introduced intelligent manufacturing technology into the automobile industry chain. Now, automobile intelligence has fully introduced the concept and technical means of the Internet in human automobile application life.
Transforming the car into a mobile Internet product is the biggest difference between the past and the present.
Zhang Hong believes that cars in the past were more inclined to be a tool for driving and traveling, but today's cars have more "possibilities".
This possibility is based on electrification, the development of autonomous driving, and the yearning for people's better needs.
Today's smart cars have become a brand-new travel tool that combines autonomous driving, smart cockpits, and even vehicle-road collaboration.
On March 25, 2022, Chen Qingtai, chairman of the China Electric Vehicles Association of 100, also mentioned at the Diaoyutai 100 Forum that electrification is only the prelude to the automobile revolution. At present, the problems of difficult charging and short battery life that people are worried about are gradually becoming a thing of the past. , while benefiting residents and profoundly changing the economy and society is the electrification, greening, networking, intelligence and sharing of automobiles, and ultimately realizes the collaborative integration of smart cars, smart energy, smart transportation, and smart cities.
He pointed out that this is the next step for our industry and the focus of global competition.
For the development of the intelligent strategy, the government has already made a layout.
In 2015, the State Council issued "Made in China 2025", in which the development of intelligent networked vehicles was officially raised to a national strategic level.
The above document clearly states that by 2020, China needs to initially master the overall technology of assisted driving and initially establish an independent research and development system; by 2025, it needs to master the key technologies of autonomous driving and build a relatively complete autonomous driving industry group.
Since then, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other central ministries and commissions have successively issued relevant policies, listing autonomous vehicles as one of the key tasks, and proposed to accelerate the construction of the autonomous vehicle regulatory system.
Around 2018, cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenzhen, etc., launched the management specifications for road testing of intelligent networked vehicles, and demonstration areas represented by Beijing Yizhuang were also established.
At present, the Yizhuang area of Beijing has realized the pilot operation of driverless buses and taxis.
A series of autonomous driving companies such as Baidu, Pony.ai, and Qingzhou Zhihang have also started road tests of intelligent driving in Yizhuang and other places.
On August 8 this year, China's autonomous driving policy ushered in a major breakthrough.
The two cities of Chongqing and Wuhan took the lead in breaking the situation and released the policy of fully unmanned commercialization. Baidu, which has been working in the field of autonomous driving and unmanned taxis for a long time, has become the only company approved to operate in these two cities. Autonomous driving commercialized travel services.
"This is a very big qualitative change. The whole car is unmanned, open road operation, public-facing and charging services, which means that we have reached the final scene that our industry has been longing for." Baidu Intelligent Driving Business Group Vice President and Chief Safety Operating Officer Wei Dong said in an interview with the media, "This is a major starting point and turning point for the entire industry to be commercialized for all unmanned."
The autonomous driving demonstration area has been continuously improved and developed, and car companies are also actively deploying smart cars.
Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile, said at the release of "Zhuge Intelligence" not long ago that Changan Automobile will accelerate its intelligent transformation and move towards the road of "software-defined vehicles".
After years of rapid progress in the new energy vehicle industry, the industry's understanding of its development trend has gradually deepened.
As Wang Chuanfu, chairman and president of BYD, said, the first half of new energy vehicles is electrification, and the second half is intelligent.
This sentence has aroused the recognition of many colleagues.
With the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, whether the car is smart enough will increasingly determine the status, market space, and even life and death of a car company.
For a time, car companies and Internet manufacturers began to maximize the use of Internet technology in all aspects of the automotive industry system, which is creating more possibilities for cars.
Autonomous driving is still dominated by L2, and smart cockpits are developing rapidly
According to the classification of autonomous driving in my country, there are five levels of L1-L5 in terms of functions and responsibilities. At the market level, the products released by car companies in recent years are still mainly at the L2 level.
Although car companies have mentioned L2+, close to L3 and other publicity techniques, Zhang Hong said that under the current technical conditions, users still have safety challenges when they completely hand over vehicle control to the vehicle, and the L3 level is the responsibility Important red lines for division.
In the regulations, if a car has L3-level autonomous driving, the company will bear part of the responsibility in the event of an accident related to autonomous driving and assisted driving.
In the past few years, cases of accidents and even deaths caused by assisted driving and autonomous driving have also occurred around the world.
Star companies such as Tesla, Weilai, and Ideal have all caused controversy because of accidents caused by assisted driving.
It can be said that autonomous driving is constantly developing, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Zhang Hong believes that whether it is the establishment and development of the autonomous driving demonstration area, the positive actions such as the gradual opening of the pilot of Xiaopeng's urban assisted driving function, or some regrets in the development, they are all important factors for the development of the industry. The former can give us With confidence, the latter allows us to wake up and improve.
Another display part of intelligence, the intelligent cockpit, has developed rapidly.
In the past car cockpit, the basic functions were only radio, USB interface to play radio and music.
Today's smart cockpit can not only support a rich experience like a mobile phone, but also give the car more functions to connect everything.
Huawei Executive Director, Huawei Terminal BU CEO, and Smart Car Solutions BU CEO Yu Chengdong said in July 2022 that today's smart cars are very similar to the smartphone industry 10 years ago, with a similarity of more than 90%.
Now, the interconnection and interoperability of cars and mobile phones has also become a major feature of smart cockpits.
On the AITO M5 EV jointly launched by Huawei and Celis, the mobile terminal application supporting HarmonyOS (Hongmeng system) can seamlessly get on the car, realize the horizontal screen window layout display of the car-machine interface parallel to the horizon, and realize the mobile phone ecology and car-machine. Ecological integration and sharing, it also supports the mutual call function of mobile phone, car and machine hardware, covering a variety of interactive layouts.
In addition, a large number of smart cars now have the functions of software applications, making calls, and fully integrating with the Internet.
At the same time, smart cars can also detect human health, assist human driving, help car owners consume shopping, control electrical and electronic equipment in the home, and so on.
Cars will become the "third space" for people to travel.
Xpeng's third product, the P5, also provides consumers with more objective conditions for watching movies and sleeping in the car.
On the basis of autonomous driving and intelligent cockpit, vehicle-road coordination is also an important attempt of the whole society in the development of automobile intelligence.
As Chen Qingtai said, what will ultimately benefit the people is to realize the coordinated integration of smart cars, smart energy, smart transportation, and smart cities.
How to integrate automobiles and urban transportation is also an important attempt in the development of the industry.
In the past, we could only know whether the road was congested or not through broadcasting. Now, with the support of functions such as maps and assisted driving, we can even know how many seconds the next traffic light will change color, and operate the vehicle status in advance.
The present and future of smart cars are also full of hope amid challenges.
