Such data advantages can form a large-scale intelligent assisted driving data warehouse, providing a solid foundation for the learning and iteration of intelligent assisted driving technology.
In terms of the more user-perceived intelligent cockpit, Great Wall Motors proposed the "1+2+N" travel space design architecture, and "1+2+N" refers to a human-computer interaction design system, 2 paths that can grow cornerstones, and N intelligent application scenario services. In addition, Great Wall Motors also released the newly designed cockpit iNest Smart Nest 2.0, using a total of 45 innovative technologies, including industry-leading technologies such as intelligent lighting, three-zone driving, and screen following.
Technological innovation in various aspects has made Great Wall Motors one of the most complete car companies in China's automotive industry chain technology layout.
For Great Wall Motors, the journey of intelligence is far more than that. On the road of adhering to technological innovation, Great Wall Motors has another key word - self-research. Only independent research and development can realize the transformation from a follower of technology to a leader.
Precise investment, firmly take the road of self-research
The self-developed technology invested precisely provides more certainty for the future development of Great Wall Motors.
In 2019, Great Wall Motors established Zhixing and began to build self-research capabilities around autonomous driving, artificial intelligence technology and other fields. To this day, Great Wall Motors is still adhering to the road of self-research, in terms of research and development layout, Great Wall Motors is not limited to China, and great wall motors have formed a global research and development layout of overseas "seven countries and ten places".
In the first three quarters of 2021, Great Wall Motor's R&D investment has exceeded that of the whole year of 2020, and Great Wall Motors has taken the road of self-development very seriously, and Wei Jianjun, chairman of Great Wall Motors, said that the cumulative R&D investment in the next five years will reach 100 billion yuan.
At present, the global R&D layout has made Great Wall Motors form a R&D team of more than 15,000 people, with a complete positive independent full-process R&D capability. In the future, Great Wall Motors will increase investment in global R&D talents. By 2023, R&D personnel around the world will double from the existing 15,000 to 30,000, of which 10,000 are software development talents.
Such a large layout of research and development has already presented a definite result for Great Wall Motors. At present, Great Wall Motors has a comprehensive R & D capability from the underlying hardware to the upper layer software, according to IPRdaily and China Automobile Center jointly released the 2020 China Auto Patent Data Statistics, Great Wall Holdings patent disclosure reached 2278, an increase of 32.06% year-on-year, ranking 7th in the industry.
At present, Great Wall Motors has established a very sound research and development system, covering the scope of self-research capabilities, from suspension, braking, automatic driving, including engines, new energy drive battery packs, etc. Great Wall Motor's self-developed super intelligent wire-by-wire chassis, with 100% independent intellectual property rights, is the first electronic mechanical-by-wire steering technology in China to support L4+ automatic driving.
Self-development is for car companies, that is, to grasp the initiative in their own hands. In the ever-changing market environment, improve the anti-risk ability of car companies. Nowadays, the wave of automotive intelligence is intensifying, the market has forced car companies to shorten the cycle of technological iteration, in order to seize the opportunity for the development of the industry, many car companies have chosen to cooperate or invest in other ways. However, in this way, for the car companies themselves, it can only be good for the short term, and it is not conducive to the logic of long-term development. Great Wall Motors' focus on precise investment and self-developed technology will surely bring it a longer-term and deterministic development.
The big ship turns the rudder and embraces the future
