This article is about the field of intelligent cockpit. 20 19 intelligent cockpit has become a hotter industry term than car networking. On the one hand, it lies in the limitations of the concept of car networking, and the intelligent cockpit can better reflect the value of the interior space; On the other hand, the Internet of Vehicles has always lacked a clear business model, and the intelligent cockpit has a broader space.
The intelligent cockpit covers a wider area, but it needs a foundation. In Chezhi's view, this foundation is the on-board operating system, which refers more to the operating system of the center console. At present, there are only a handful of in-vehicle operating systems in the world, and there are three possibilities to make waves in the China market in the future.
They are Huawei's intelligent cockpit operating system-Harmony of HarmonyOS System? OS, Alibaba's AliOS (or Zebra Zhixing System), and a foreign monk-Google's AndroidAutomotive? Operating system.
As for other car operating systems based on Android transformation, it is beyond the scope of this article. In Che Zhi's view, the war of intelligent cockpit at this stage must be a system-level war. Any player without core system capability is in danger of being eliminated in the future.
Referring to Tesla's in-vehicle operating system, it is completely self-developed, creating a world of its own, providing Tesla owners with an unprecedented user experience, which makes users flock to it. At present, Tesla is trying to embed China's service into Tesla's in-vehicle system, which is determined by the regional characteristics of in-vehicle service.
Back to the beginning of the article, why is Huawei's HarmonyOS system harmonious? OS, Ali AliOS and Google Android? Cars? OS, have a chance to make waves in China. In the past 20 19, what happened to these three systems and what impact will they have on the development of the industry?
At the Huawei Developers Conference on August 9th, 20 19, Yu Chengdong announced the launch of the highly anticipated Huawei operating system-Harmony? Operating system.
According to the official description, HarmonyOS has a harmonious system? OS is a "future-oriented" operating system. It is a distributed operating system based on microkernel and facing all scenarios. It will be suitable for mobile phones, tablets, televisions, smart cars, wearable devices and other terminals. According to the plan, in 2020, the Harmonious HarmonyOS System Version 2.0? The operating system will be available on the lathe.
On the CDC intelligent cockpit platform, Huawei will build an intelligent cockpit platform based on smart phone Kirin chip (or standardized version of cart) and HarmonyOS OS. In the future, after autonomous driving, there will be more passenger services and safety services besides entertainment services. For Huawei CC architecture and three "platforms+ecology", please click "Interpretation of Huawei CC architecture:" platforms+ecology "to create a brand-new automobile future".
The core of Huawei's attack on the intelligent cockpit is computing power-self-developed chip, operating system-HarmonyOS system harmony? OS, the core competitiveness is harmony? The interaction between OS and other intelligent terminals, including mobile phones, smart homes, wearable devices and so on.
In the field of intelligent cockpit, Huawei took the lead in launching a lightweight application-Huawei HiCar, which Huawei defined as version 2.0 of the map function, except for things like Apple CarPlay or Google Android? In addition to the mapping function of Auto, the biggest feature of HiCar is hardware mutual assistance. Simply understood, cars can call the computing power of mobile phones and other external hardware devices, especially I/O sensors and interactive devices.
Today, the new Baojun RC-6 equipped with HiCar is officially launched. For the white paper of Huawei HiCar, please click "Huawei releases the ecological white paper PDF of HiCar for smart car solution".
Obviously, HiCar is just a pre-meal snack of Huawei's smart cockpit strategy. The real main course is CDC intelligent cockpit platform, car version of Kirin chip+HarmonyOS system harmony? OS operating system. When cars, mobile phones, smart homes and wearable devices all use HarmonyOS HarmonyOS operating system, consumers will get different user experiences. This kind of user experience is likely to surpass the user experience that Tesla can currently provide to users.
02? Ali AliOS (zebra zhixing)
If it is said that in 20 15, Ali and SAIC jointly invested 10 billion to set up a zebra network with a shareholding ratio of 50: 50, which is the beginning of Ali's smart car strategy, then 20 19 should be an epoch-making year for Ali's smart car strategy.
Because Ali became the majority shareholder of Zebra this year, and reorganized it, injecting Ali's AliOS assets into Zebra to set up a new Zebra, and parachuting Zhang Chunhui, president of Ali YunOS (predecessor of AliOS), and Hao Fei, CEO of Zebra, as the co-CEO of the new Zebra.
After the reorganization, New Zebra announced two days ago that it had signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China FAW, the eldest son of the Republic. The two sides will build the next generation of intelligent networked cars based on Zebra Zhixing system. For Ali, Zebra, a joint venture with SAIC, made the first Internet car Roewe RX5, which was recognized by the market. The monthly sales volume of RX5 once exceeded 20,000 vehicles, and even today, the monthly sales volume exceeds 1 10,000 vehicles. The success of RX5 also made the zebra network.
With the strategic cooperation between New Zebra and FAW, in the near future, we should be able to see the red flag equipped with Zebra Zhixing system (in essence, customized AliOS system) listed. For Ali, successfully controlling zebra is the premise for him to invest resources to develop zebra, and 20 19 was successfully realized. In 2020, Zhang Chunhui will lead Zebra and realize the strategic intention of Ali Smart Car step by step.
03? Google Android? Cars? Operating System (operating system)
20 19 years Google car operating system AndroidAutomotive? OS, first installed on the production model-Polestar? 2. This is Volvo's own pure electric high-end brand, Polestar? 2 is the benchmark Tesla model? Three models.
Google Developer Conference held in May 20 19? Input and output? Android car operating system released on 20 19 and 20 17? Cars? OS has become one of the protagonists of this year's developer conference. On may 1 day, Google wrote an article on the official blog of Android developers, announcing that millions of developers can use AndroidAutomotive? OS develops applications.
As a native operating system, Google and car companies have a very broad space. More importantly, automakers allow the Android car operating system to be closely integrated with the underlying car system, and car owners will be able to use assistants to adjust climate control, manage electric mileage, and do other things that require system integration.
Google's car operating system Android? Cars? OS has been supported by many international car companies, including Volvo, General Motors and Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi Alliance. Statistics show that it claims to use Android? Cars? The car brand sales of OS account for more than 50% of the global car sales.
In the China market, it is reported that Bosch is installing Android for SAIC-GM 202 1 production models. Cars? The operating system is in the process of localization conversion service. Yes, for the in-vehicle operating system, the localization and interaction at the bottom of the car is an opportunity for developers.
In 20 19, the intelligent cockpit ushered in a real giant in-vehicle system war. In 2020, the war may not be heated up, but it must be going on quietly. Not many giants can participate in this war. For entrepreneurs or developers, what may need to wait is the opportunity of system ecological construction.
At the upcoming CES? What new progress will be made in the intelligent cockpit in 2020? Please pay attention to the report of Chezhi.
