With the development of intelligent vehicles, the domestic automobile industry is "the only one in the scenery", which effectively promotes the high-quality growth and high-end transformation of the domestic manufacturing industry, and once again confirms the role of the automobile in the manufacturing industry as a "ballast stone". In 2022, the domestic automobile industry is ready to go. How can the domestic auto industry start on the existing foundation? ICV (Intelligent Networking) is key.
ICV (Intelligent Network Connection) stands at a high starting point of scientific and technological innovation, accelerates its development on the strategic track of lane change and overtaking, and will become the core competitiveness of the automotive manufacturing industry because of its strategic importance, technical foresight and user experience. In the future of the entire automotive industry system, ICV (intelligent network) technology continues to be renewed, which is not only the need for enterprise development, but also the need for industrial upgrading, and it is also an important reference index for consumers to buy cars.
User intelligent car experience, quantity + quality "double liter"
According to the data, in 2021, China's automobile production and sales totaled 26.082 million units and 26.275 million units, an increase of 3.4% and 3.8% year-on-year. Among them, the growth rate of new energy vehicles is obvious, with annual sales of more than 3.5 million units, an increase of 157.5% year-on-year, and the market share increased to 13.4%.
Relevant parties believe that from a series of market data in 2021, new energy vehicles have shifted from policy-driven to market-driven. In the eyes of industry insiders, there are two main reasons for promoting this change. First, the rapid development of EV (electrification) technology has solved battery safety anxiety, mileage anxiety, and charging anxiety; second, ICV (intelligent network connection) is commonly used and constantly new, continuously evolving, solving user pain points and increasing user desserts: not only reflected in the increase in the "quantity" of user experience, but also in the improvement of the "quality" of user experience.
In terms of "quantity", smart cars have been upgraded from the initial "simple functions" to the technology of "covering multiple fields and having many scene applications". Taking Aeon, whose sales have risen rapidly in recent years, as an example, as of now, it has achieved fruitful results in the IV (intelligent driving) field of ICV (intelligent networking). It has successively launched L3 level intelligent driving, 5G vehicles, over-the-horizon summoning parking, NDA intelligent pilot assistance system, and realized the mass production and installation of technologies such as second-generation intelligent variable lidar and deliverable high-precision maps, and has now opened the demonstration operation of L4 level automatic driving. Among them, the NDA intelligent pilot assistance system is not only applied to high speed, but also the first urban NDA, to achieve full-scene coverage, with 3 second-generation intelligent zoom lidar, high-precision map protection, like an old driver sitting in the co-driver, "one-on-one" driving coaching, and then to achieve ICV (intelligent network connection) "quality" improvement.
In terms of CV (intelligent cockpit), Aian applies the ADiGO 4.0 intelligent IoT system, equipped with a 7nm8-core Qualcomm 8155 cockpit chip, bringing the third-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship digital cockpit to the owner. At the same time, IBCM insensible start, new AR real-world navigation, DMS+OMS cockpit monitoring, 5G jitter, FACE ID and other cross-generation intelligent technology configurations have also become an important factor for Aeon to impress young consumers.
With the "quantitative change" of the application scenario coupled with the "qualitative change" of the underlying logic, Aeon's ICV (Intelligent Network connection) technology is providing users with a full range of user experience and leading scientific and technological innovation. It is this kind of "quantitative change + qualitative change" ICV (intelligent network) technology upgrade, Aian can occupy the initiative in the new market competition of "from transportation to intelligent life mobile terminals", and it is also the reason why its support AION family models have become explosive models.
ICV (Intelligent Network connection) forward-looking layout, continuous landing
With the acceleration of the pace of scientific and technological innovation, the competition of smart car tracks has entered a white-hot stage. Only car companies with obvious scientific and technological genes and strong forward-looking can become the track winners of "ICV (intelligent network connection) to win the world".
From this perspective, Eian is a technology company that is using continuously innovative technologies to transform the automotive industry, enhance user experience, and reshape mobility. Moreover, since its inception, Aeon has laid out in the field of ICV (Intelligent Network connection) and carried out planning and landing, so as to meet the user's pursuit of advanced, fun, trendy and high quality of scientific and technological innovation.
In terms of forward-looking layout, GAC has invested more than 35 billion yuan in independent research and development, and plans to invest 100 billion yuan in technology research and development and technological innovation in the next five years. Since its development, Aeon has built an international independent R&D talent team of nearly 6,000 people and created a strong global R&D network. On the other hand, Aeon also focuses on creating a "circle of science and technology circles" and working with many Internet companies to provide more intelligent network applications. "Self-research + cooperation" provides AEan with abundant endogenous strength and hard power for continuous leadership in the field of ICV (Intelligent Networking).
It is worth mentioning that Aeon's future models will also take the lead in equipping the vehicle-cloud integrated centralized computing electronic and electrical architecture - Xingling architecture. The introduction of this architecture makes "software-defined cars" possible.
"Software-defined cars" have been controversial over the past decade. With the development of intelligent cockpit and automatic driving technology, vehicles need more ECUs and sensors, etc., but different suppliers have different underlying software and codes, and car companies do not have the right to maintain and upgrade the ECU of each module, resulting in difficult and low updates, which cannot meet the continuous digital life needs of users, can not continuously update iterations, and is not conducive to vehicle value preservation. To address this pain point, there must be a shift from mechanically defined cars to software-defined cars, with electrical and electronic architecture becoming key.
The Xingling architecture adopts standardized hierarchical interface, software modularity, function atomization, and remote configuration of functions. Compared with the previous generation of electronic and electrical systems, xingling's computing power has increased by 50 times, and the controller has been reduced by about 20. Thus realizing the biggest features of the Xingling architecture - hardware plug and play, software is often used and updated, so that the car can become a platform that can continue to add value, and also realize the mass production and popularization of innovative applications such as "making car upgrades as simple as computers". Some industry experts have evaluated the Xingling architecture as: grasping the core points of various needs of users in reality, and using innovative technology to create an advanced, safe, balanced and excellent architecture, which is the initiative of China's independent brands in the core technology field.
The attack that leaves no way back stems from the background of innovation
It is the continuous innovation and breakthrough at the ICV (intelligent networking) level that a number of smart cars launched by Aeon have become blockbuster models. The "AION Group" composed of AION S, AION Y, AION V, and AION LX is not only fully "PLUS", but also sold 123,700 units in 2021, an increase of 119% year-on-year.
Aeon is just one of the components of China's rapid development of smart cars. Not surprisingly, in 2022, domestic smart cars will usher in a double rise in production, sales and revenue. It is predicted that in 2022, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China will exceed 5 million, and the market share is expected to exceed 18%.
Zeng Qinghong, chairman of GAC Group, said that in 2022, the goal of the Eon Challenge will increase by 15%, which is very difficult and challenging. However, the goal is not to be ambitious, let alone a good achievement, but to be based on economic growth, guided by market development, and led by strategic planning.
To achieve this goal, Aeon is taking the foundation one step further in 2021. In the past February, by applying a large number of innovative technologies, Aeon completed the capacity expansion in only 15 days, preparing for the "production capacity" of the annual impact on higher sales targets. More critically, this year, Aeon has entered the mixed reform stage, using the power of capital to accelerate the run.
After all the new car-making forces have gone through doubts and difficulties, they will usher in a broader market and the fiercer competition that will follow. But this is a good thing for prepared and powerful companies. From the past, current and future planning of Aeon, it can be seen that if China's new energy vehicles want to develop, in terms of core technological innovation, it is necessary to turn from defense to attack and take the initiative. Only by attacking without leaving a way back, represented by ICV (intelligent network connection) technology, scientific and technological innovation can be seen and touched, and the responsibility and vigor of technology companies can also be felt by users.
observe:
This year, "smart cars" have become the focus of everyone's attention. In this context, China's intelligent vehicles are forging ahead in the field of "scientific and technological innovation", and the continuous technology landing and upgrading of AEan in the field of ICV (intelligent network connection) is not only an echo of consumer demand, but also provides a reference and reference model for the transformation of automobile enterprises, and provides intelligent support for a new round of high-intelligence growth in the Greater Bay Area and the automobile industry.
