New energy vehicles and intelligent vehicles are considered to be the next outlet in the field of science and technology, and are the places where major technology companies must compete. Especially for smartphone brands, many people think that they will all enter the automotive field. At present, Xiaomi has already officially announced its entry into the automotive field, and although Huawei does not build cars, it cooperates with car companies and aspires to be the world's first. Recently, there has been news that vivo is going to produce cars.
The reason why it is rumored in the industry that vivo wants to build a car stems from the fact that vivo has been exposed for an autonomous driving patent. Zhu Guitang, general manager of vivo investment management, responded on April 23, saying: So far, Vivo still hopes to focus on mobile phones and surrounding ecological chain products, and focus on the things that can be done as much as possible, which is from the perspective of ability.
Translation: At present, vivo is still based on smart phones and surrounding ecological products, and has not yet entered the car field to create cars. Personally, I think that vivo's application for automatic driving patents is to play a preventive and protective role and plan for the future. It's not really about going into the automotive industry to produce cars yourself.
In fact, with the development of the Internet, the car is now more than just a means of transportation, just as the mobile phone was not just a call tool. The interconnection between cars and mobile phones has always been the direction of the efforts of various mobile phone brands, and Vivo entered this field as early as 2020, when it launched the Jovi lnCar car networking service platform. The first batch covered more than 500 models of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other brands. Vivo users can unlock supported models through their mobile phones, use mobile phones as car keys, and so on.
It is believed that in the future, vivo will also make more functions in the interconnection of mobile phones and cars, which is also the direction that brands are currently pursuing. Especially with the release of vivo X Fold and vivo X Note business high-end mobile phones, more business people will become vivo users, and the needs of these business people vivo will definitely be satisfied!
