The theme of this year's Beijing Auto Show is set as "New Era, New Automobile", and intelligence has become one of the core areas of automobile development in the new era, and the hottest topic in the market in recent years: the development of autonomous driving has also been concentrated in this auto show.
In recent years, intelligent driving functions are accelerating into the car, bringing new changes to the automotive market. In this wave of change, the domain control market has also shown a rapid momentum of development. According to the latest data from the Gasgoo Automotive Research Institute, the penetration rate of intelligent driving domain control from January to February 2024 is 9%, and it will soon exceed 10%.
The development of intelligent driving domain control benefits from the growing supply chain system and cooperation ecology. From chip manufacturers to software developers to system integrators, the cooperation of multiple parties has continuously improved the performance of intelligent driving domain control in all aspects.
Intelligent driving domain controller solutions emerged
At this auto show, we can see a lot of the results of this cooperation. Horizon actively builds a comprehensive ecological chain cooperation plan and builds a complete system solution. Among them, the intelligent driving domain controller solution with excellent performance of Beiyun Technology's high-precision combination positioning module has become a highlight of this auto show.
On the eve of the auto show, Horizon held the 2024 Intelligent Driving Technology Product Launch Conference of "Journey Forward, Towards Height". At the conference, Horizon launched the Journey ®6 series, a new generation of in-vehicle intelligent computing solutions, and the Horizon SuperDrive™ all-scenario intelligent driving solution.
In addition to a number of mass-produced cooperative car companies and brands such as SAIC, Volkswagen Group, BYD, Chery Automobile, etc., many Tier1, software and hardware partners, including Continental, TZTEK, Huaqin, SAIC ZeroBeam, Veleo, and Luxshare, built intelligent driving domain controllers based on the Journey ®6 platform were displayed at the Horizon booth.

Beiyun Technology's high-precision combined positioning module has appeared in a number of domain control solutions
As the "ecological partner" of Horizon, Beiyun Technology has launched the M2 series of automotive-grade GNSS/INS high-precision integrated navigation modules, which have become the recommended positioning solutions for many Journey 6 solution providers, including TZTEK.
Beiyun Technology's M2 series modules were unveiled at the Horizon booth;
On April 25, TZTEK released the TADC-J6E/M intelligent driving domain controller series products developed based on Journey 6 at the Horizon booth, in which the combined positioning module adopts the M2 series module of Beiyun Technology.

In the intelligent driving system, high-precision positioning is the key to achieve accurate vehicle navigation and environmental perception. With the revelation of the inflection point of high-end intelligent driving, the demand for high-precision positioning of intelligent electric vehicles is becoming more and more intense. At the same time, in the iteration from high-speed to urban scenarios, autonomous driving also puts forward higher requirements for the performance of all aspects of positioning.
The intelligent driving architecture has made a great leap, and the high-precision combination positioning has entered the era of domain control
Stepping on the key node of the E/E architecture to the domain centralized architecture, the high-precision positioning system is no longer just an independent module, but has begun to be closely integrated with the domain controller to help improve the overall cost performance of the intelligent driving system, and at the same time improve the stability and user experience of intelligent driving.
High-precision combination positioning has entered the era of domain control, and it is no accident that Beiyun Technology can be favored by many manufacturers such as TZTEK. From the perspective of market demand, in addition to the high requirements for positioning accuracy, cost-effective solutions with higher integration are obviously more popular.
It is reported that the M2 series module launched by Beiyun Technology has a DR accuracy of up to 2‰ after patching, and accurately empowers partners with intelligent driving solutions with stable and high-precision positioning.
In order to adapt to the trend of intelligent driving system integration and cost reduction, Beiyun Technology took the lead in the industry to launch a patch vehicle-grade GNSS/INS high-precision integrated navigation module. It has a cost-effective advantage and a higher degree of integration, which can be integrated into the domain control and intelligent driving solutions of Tier1 and other manufacturers to improve the overall integration of the intelligent driving system.

The M2 series module is also equipped with the real-time calibration algorithm of Beiyun Technology's IMU, built-in adaptive temperature, ultra-stable quartz packaging IMU and 22nm process GNSS SoC chip Alice, which supports full-system full-frequency satellite signal reception, L-Band/CLAS satellite-based enhancement, anti-interference and functional safety. Up to now, the M2 series modules have been designated for intelligent driving solutions of a number of Tier 1 and automotive OEMs.
Under the trend of change in the industrial chain, higher requirements are put forward for suppliers' technologies and products, among which large-scale mass production has become one of the core indicators for judging whether the ability is strong or not.
As a Tier1 in the field of automotive high-precision positioning, Beiyun Technology has completed the batch production of a number of high-precision positioning chips by virtue of its large-scale application verification of 100,000 orders in the automotive field and years of dedicated research and development, and is one of the few companies in the world that has self-developed high-precision satellite positioning chips and mass production applications.
The competition for intelligent driving is becoming more and more fierce, and at the moment of volume technology, volume cost, and volume scale, the relevant solutions of Beiyun Technology are at the right time. In the future, intelligent driving domain control and related technologies will play an increasingly important role in the automotive industry. With the accumulation of experience in large-scale mass production and leading technical advantages, Beiyun Technology will become one of the key players in the era of domain control.
