At present, the development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, the speed of scientific and technological progress is far beyond imagination, from new energy vehicles to intelligent networked vehicles, in just over 10 years, the automotive industry has undergone earth-shaking changes. This not only makes the general public have more expectations for the transformation of automobile technology, but also gives automobile practitioners a sense of urgency of "10,000 years is too long, only to seize the day", and even impetuous phenomenon begins to appear in technology research and development.
At the recent 2021 China Automotive Supply Chain Conference, Hu Weiwu, chairman of Loongson Zhongke Technology Co., Ltd., bluntly pointed out when talking about this phenomenon that the development of core technologies should "roll up the sleeves and work hard + be patient and insist on doing it", can not always think of cleverness, impetuousness will not only make the industrial development into a misunderstanding, but also lead to a slower development speed. In his view, trial and error need time, time is the most important threshold for core technology products, the development of core technology is only a step by step to catch up, do not fantasize about overtaking in curves.
Hu Weiwu's words can't help but remind people that as early as 2002, Zhu Yanfeng, then chairman of THE FAW Group, said when talking about independent innovation that it was necessary to "endure loneliness for 20 years and bury his head in hard work for 20 years." At that time, China's auto industry was in the beginning of rapid development, and his words were not understood by people, and even met with overwhelming doubts, believing that he did not think of making progress, did not actively develop independently, and hoped that 20 years later. But it turns out that Zhu Yanfeng's view is not wrong. Since then, after experiencing rapid expansion, declining word of mouth, market share and other development stages, China's independent brand cars have finally realized the correctness of this sentence and have successively embarked on the road of independent research and development of "enduring loneliness". After years of accumulation and precipitation, we have finally made great progress and improvement, and in some fields have begun to catch up with and surpass the advanced level of foreign countries.
At present, no car company will deny the importance of independent research and development, but the speed of scientific and technological development is too fast, the market changes too fast, many people begin to become quick and profitable, so ambitious, and even when the product is not fully polished and mature, it is hurriedly launched to seize the market, seek stock price increase or the favor of the capital market. Taking a multinational car company as an example, when the assisted driving technology of many traditional car companies is still in the verification and testing stage, it is preemptively mounted on the mass production model, which becomes the selling point of the product and attracts many consumers to buy and use it. However, due to the lack of sufficient verification of technology, consumers have not established a correct concept of use, resulting in repeated problems in the actual use process, multiple traffic accidents, and even many casualties. Previously, some domestic new energy automobile companies were the same, in order to eliminate the user's "mileage anxiety", improve the market competitiveness of the product, blindly pursue the mileage of the product, shorten the product update cycle at the expense of safety and reliability verification, until after a number of spontaneous combustion incidents, they began to pay attention to and pay attention to the safety of new energy vehicle products.
As Hu Weiwu said, improvement in continuous trial and error is a necessary process for complex system innovation, and a good institutional mechanism and more funds can accelerate trial and error iteration, but cannot replace trial and error iteration. At the moment when the wave of "new four modernizations" swept the global automobile industry, all countries are actively seizing the commanding heights of new automotive technology, capital has poured in to try to get a piece of the pie, more and more outsiders cross-border car manufacturing, the wind and clouds change, the opportunities are unlimited. At the same time, it should also be realized that although the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, but the transformation and upgrading of the task is long, in the Chinese automobile industry into the critical moment of high-quality development, automobile companies need to calm down, patience, hard work, can not expect the curve "overtaking", otherwise do not grasp the steering wheel, control the speed of the car, it is easy to "overturn".
Although patience is an old topic in research and development, in the current industrial development environment, enterprises still have to have determination and abandon impetuosity. Especially for core technology fields such as chips, there is no shortcut in research and development, and it must pass the tempering of time and the test of the market. Independent car companies should soberly realize that they are in a hurry to master the core technology, and only by being patient and patient and polishing excellent products that are truly competitive in the market can they stand out in the competition and achieve sustainable development.
