Since the 1990s, the automobile has been quietly evolving from a means of transportation to a "moving home" for humans. In the field of modern automobile manufacturing industry, the concept of automobile manufacturing has undergone profound changes. Di Xinhui believes that in the development of automobile manufacturing, the proportion of the mechanical part in a car is becoming less and less important, and it is replaced by automotive electronic equipment.
Di Xinhui, in China's automotive electronics industry, is a "well-known" figure. With 20 years of experience, Di Xinhui has been from Dongfeng, Hannathan, Lear, to Erun, Continental, Infineon, all the way, Di Xinhui has gradually gone from a front-line engineer to a technical manager to a chief engineer, taking root in technology and constantly breaking through innovation. Not only that, Di Xinhui has also achieved multiple breakthroughs in China's automotive industry from zero to one. Whether it is to promote the development of new energy vehicles or to be in the field of autonomous vehicles, Di Xinhui uses his own technology to break through the difficulties in the development of the industry and promote the orderly and rapid development of the entire industry.
From project to theory, hardcore technology is "bottom line"
Since entering Dongfeng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., Di Xinhui has been working in the automotive field for more than 20 years. The first project that Di Xinhui participated in, "Hardware and System Development of Anti-lock Braking System Project", as a national project, was finally successfully completed under his impetus and directly broke the foreign monopoly of anti-lock braking system. After that, Di Xinhui successively joined Lear, Continental, Infineon and other world-renowned automobile companies, and made great achievements in his position, such as entering lear China Technology Center, Di Xinhui fully led the participation in the "TPMS Tire Pressure Monitoring System" project, so that the domestic automotive industry has made a qualitative breakthrough in safety performance.
In addition to leading automotive companies to achieve a number of "from zero to one" breakthroughs, Di Xinhui has participated in many major projects at home and abroad in the past 20 years, such as the development of air pressure anti-lock brake controller (ABS) for commercial vehicle OEMs, the development of vehicle bus controllers for commercial vehicle OEMs, the development of body controllers (BCM) for domestic and foreign passenger car OEMs, and the RF/LF products (TPMS, RKE, Immobilizer, etc.) of domestic and foreign passenger car OEMs. Quotation and design of high-voltage DC converters, on-board chargers and motor controllers for a number of European and American passenger car OEMs Led Lear's China new energy team to complete the development of the Asian platform project of the vehicle charger, the development of the vehicle shift controller of the domestic passenger car OEM (with a number of patents), and the development and development of dozens of projects such as the L4 level urban working condition autonomous driving prototype project.
As an industry expert, Di Xinhui has also made significant contributions to the industry. For example, as a technical expert, Di Xinhui participated in the early formulation of TPMS industry specifications, the technical discussion and relevant suggestions of the Chinese version of ISO26262 industry standards, and the formulation of Chinese national standards for EVSE's charging interface industry; in addition, As a core technical expert, Di Xinhui participated in important industry activities such as CAICV's relevant industry technical forums, CATARC's CIDAS working group activities, and CATARC's CNCAP active security working group.
In China, the formulation of many related standards in the automotive industry is completed by Di Xinhui, as the leading core technical expert in the field, Di Xinhui participated in the standard development of the automatic driving (AD) standard working group and the standard development of the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) standard working group. And Di Xinhui also published a personal paper in the most authoritative IEEE.
Cultivate talents in the field of new energy vehicles
In the years of rapid development of China's automotive industry, Di Xinhui has made great contributions in promoting domestic new energy vehicles. In that year, Di Xinhui entered Lear China, first responsible for the "TPMS Tire Pressure Monitoring System" project, and the "great victory" of this project in China made Di Xinhui more vocal in Lear headquarters.
At that time, Di Xinhui found that compared with the foreign new energy vehicle market, domestic new energy vehicles did not really start. As the head of the R&D team in China, Di Xinhui proposed to increase the promotion of new energy vehicles in China like Lear's headquarters. Di Xinhui believes that when domestic new energy vehicles are still in the initial stage, we should increase investment and promotion so that we can get a head start in future development.
Di Xinhui's proposal was approved by Lear's headquarters, so Di Xinhui began to promote the layout of the new energy industry in China. Di Xinhui led the new energy development team in China to establish a high-power electronics laboratory to meet the development and testing of related products in China.
Under the leadership of Di Xinhui, in the field of new energy vehicles, it has laid a good foundation for lear China's automotive electronics research and development, production and sales. In Di Xinhui's view, Lear China is the Whampoa Military Academy in the industry, which not only promotes the advanced development concept of automotive electronics to China, but also cultivates many talents in the research and development field of the automotive industry. At this point, Di Xinhui believes that he is fortunate to have such a strong ink in Lear's development in China, and he is also inseparable from his profession.
Making self-driving cars "invincible"
When Di Xinhui joined Continental, Continental released a plan for self-driving cars, and Di Xinhui already had a deeper understanding of the driving field at this time. After joining Continental, Di Xinhui led the Chinese team to cooperate with Baidu to complete the development of L2+ and L4 autonomous driving core projects, including vehicle sensor configuration and selection, vehicle system design, hardware installation and commissioning, functional safety system analysis, system software module development and integration, simulation testing and real vehicle verification. In this project, Di Xinhui is the core technical expert of the team, integrating all technical resources to complete the project, giving full play to the advantages of core technology, and opening up a path for future autonomous driving development.
Di Xinhui applied for a number of national patents related to automatic driving during this period, one of which is that when an autonomous vehicle is driving on a highway, it will automatically look for an ETC entrance and pass through the toll booth by itself, without the need for manual help to find the entrance.
This is a particular problem encountered by autonomous driving in China and Japan. When the vehicle is driving on the highway, it will frequently pass through the toll station, always slowing down to manually look for the ETC entrance, and Di Xinhui found that there is a demand for it. Therefore, we Led the team to do a lot of algorithm and system research on the topic of "automatic driving through the toll station", found some methods, and thus released the patent "ETC Charge" and the paper "ETC Charge", which provided some technical inspiration for solving this problem. It also opens up better solution algorithms for late-stage self-driving cars through etc entrances.
When Di Xinhui entered Infineon, Infineon's technical gap, management gap, and even promotion in the field of automatic driving were blank, and Di Xinhui single-handedly promoted Infineon to achieve zero to one in the field of automatic driving. In the industry, Di Xinhui not only promotes the development of an enterprise, but also promotes the orderly and rapid development of the entire industry.
In addition, Di Xinhui also plays an important role in the domestic autonomous driving industry association, and in the canCAP association, he takes the initiative to assume the role of "European traffic accident data analysis in China". With his professionalism and technical and management experience, Di Xinhui has promoted the analysis of the entire traffic accident data and the analysis of natural driving status data, which will also be a powerful impetus for the future of advanced assisted driving and automatic driving.
In the past 20 years, Di Xinhui has not only witnessed the development of China's automotive industry, but also promoted the development of China's automotive industry. Today, when self-driving cars have become the outlet, Di Xinhui will spare no effort to promote the continuous steady and orderly development of the entire industry, synchronize with the world, and even surpass the advanced technology of the current world, and create a new situation in which China's autonomous vehicles lead the world.
