Rebirth in a Perfect Era Chapter 1820: Overall lead
novelmao.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the rebirth perfect era!
As Muye Aurora is admired by automobile media all over the world, favored by car enthusiasts and ordinary consumers all over the world, every car manufacturer is now struggling to develop its own set of color-based screens Human-computer interaction system.
The Toyota of Japan was the first to start, followed by the German Volkswagen.
They realized that the spoilers have brought about huge changes to the automotive industry, especially spoilers like Li Mu, who do not follow the rules at all.
What was the original competition among automakers?
Let everyone develop different types of vehicles according to different user groups, different needs, and different market environments, and conduct a comprehensive and industrial comparison with other competitors’ models.
So, for all big automobile groups, the product line covers almost every level, including but not limited to hatchback, sedan, SUV, hatchback, travel, mini, small, medium, large…
As far as the common B-class cars in China are concerned, Japanese cars have the Accord of Honda, the Camry of Toyota is the Camry, the Passat of Volkswagen and the Regal of Buick. The competition between car manufacturers is basically around the appearance and With mechanical configuration, no one has extended the competition to the field of technology that has nothing to do with traditional cars.
But Li Mu did just that.
Actually, Li Mu also knows its own long board and short board.
He is now integrated. The most comprehensive and suitable for mid-range cars is the Volvo technology.
Looking at Land Rover and Jaguar, these two gadgets are basically aristocrats who do nothing at all. Their existing technologies and platforms are not suitable for making mid-range cars, but more suitable for making mid-range and high-end cars. After all, neither brand has an engine with a displacement below 3.0.
As for the Volvo vehicle technology used by Muye Aurora, in terms of comprehensive level, there is still a big gap compared to giant companies like Toyota and Volkswagen.
Li Mu is also very clear in mind, catching up with this gap in the industrial field, he has not played within three to five years, even within ten years, many domestic auto companies have developed for ten years or more, and they imitate Japanese cars one by one. Could not catch up with others.
After all, you are running, others are running, and you have been running for decades before, it is really difficult to catch this gap.
So I can only find another way.
Why China internet enterprises can rise rapidly in such a short period of time, even in the life before the rebirth of Li Mu, the internet enterprises of China are basically in the forefront of the world in various fields.
The reason is that internet in the world started in the 1990s, and China internet started in the 1990s. Everyone’s technical level is not far behind. It’s only a few years, and the people of China have worked hard and worked hard. The spirit can catch up with the gap of those years in at most ten years and achieve catch-up.
However, this is only a leader in the software field, as well as the internet product form and model field.
When it comes to computer hardware, the gap between China and the West is much larger than the automotive field.
At the very least, when Li Mu was reborn, China was still lacking in the field of computer chips. although had its own chip, but the performance gap was far greater than that of cars. The overall technical level of domestic vehicles although is much worse than that of US, Japanese and German auto companies, but at least it can make With many practical and cost-effective models, the chip is far from the same.
That’s why, in Li Mu’s‘s thinking, what it wants to do is to subvert the traditional automobile manufacturing industry instead of competing head-on with them.
So, in addition to using the interior and appearance to win opportunities, all the remaining advantages are concentrated on the humanized design of the product and the degree of technology.
This gives him an advantage over traditional auto companies for at least two to three years, and Li Mu is confident of expanding this advantage.
One of the uncomfortable things in the automobile manufacturing industry is that basically everything must be properly adapted to hardware and software.
There is no intersection between the current car manufacturers and the internet industry, nor with the high-tech computer and software industries.
This kind of feeling is like a mobile phone brand that has never made a smartphone. Suddenly one day, it will be forced by the market to start researching smartphones.
But they haven’t even made a color phone before.
As a result, the workload in front of them becomes extremely huge.
Not only to develop the entire set of system, but also to adapt all the hardware corresponding to the entire set of system to this set of system.
Even the top auto companies such as Toyota and Volkswagen do not have the ability and foundation to build a set of intelligent human-computer interaction system independently.
Moreover, replacing the central control with a color screen, the hardware supply chain alone is enough for them to trouble.
It is necessary to redesign the interior, redevelop the mold, and find a suitable hardware supplier in the world, and reintegrate a new supply chain.
The Germans were the first to feel desperate about this matter, because they found that even if they integrated the supply chain, they could not develop a set of interactive systems comparable to Muye cars within one to two years.
If you just put a color screen in the car, but you can’t make the color screen smart, consumers will not pay.
And Li Mu also has a killer tool, which is the map and navigation provided by keyhole.
Since the keyhole company was jointly acquired by Li Mu and Google, he and Google have already set the equity closed loop clearly.
First of all, keyhole will never authorize any auto-related company to use any keyhole technology and data.
Second, Keyhole will never authorize any internet company other than Muye Science and Technology and Google.
If Volkswagen and Toyota want to develop a set of navigation system, then for a while and a half, they will not be able to buy the copyright of the complete digital map.
Toyota may be able to buy local map data from Japan, but their Toyota cars are sold all over the world, and he has no way to buy digital maps from various countries and regions around the world.
Keyhole is okay. If it is the previous keyhole, the data and maps will definitely be sold to companies like Toyota.
But the current keyhole will not give Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW any chance.
This way. It is also a very long process for several auto companies to realize navigation in various countries and regions on their cars.
Even the first iPhone and previous iPhones released by Jobs, the map service they use comes from Google.
The Apple’s own map was not officially launched until 2012, and in the past few years, the experience of using the Apple map has been very bad.
As can be seen from this, the previous life Google map relies on the keyhole foundation, leading the way on the electronic map, far exceeding Apple.
It took Apple several years to launch the Apple map. It did not overtake the Google map, but it was finally able to replace the Google map.
In fact, the best electronic map in the world has always been Google, and no one else can.
Now, Li Mu has reached a tripartite agreement with Google and keyhole. In the automotive field, all the foundations of the keyhole, and all the innovative technologies that Google has done on the basis of the keyhole, are exclusive to the Muye car in the automotive field, excluding all similar competition. Goods.
In the future, no one in the world will be able to use Google maps for car brands.
So, this alone makes the development of car navigation of other car brands difficult.
It can also be seen that the rebirth of Li Mu controls the overall situation and key points.
For example, there is no basis for Google and keyhole. If car companies from all over the world want to provide navigation services on the China mainland now, the only company they can choose right now is Gaode.
Gold has just been established for two years, and Gaud is still in its infancy. Even they do not have a complete China electronic map of the whole mainland. If car companies cooperate with them, they may only provide a few in the early days. City navigation for one or more than a dozen large and medium-sized cities.
Besides, car companies have no other choice. It is unrealistic for them to form their own mapping team.
Because the automobile industry, which tests the supply chain, no one can control everything from start to finish.
A car is made up of thousands of parts. Whether it is a domestic car or a Japanese car, or an American car, a German car, or even a French car, their spare parts come from all over the world.
However, Li Mu didn’t want to give other brands any chance. While they hadn’t responded and didn’t understand all the areas that the whole set of human-computer interaction system needs to consider, he immediately instructed Li Ziwei to contact Gaode directly and give Gaode one. The strategic investment made Gaode become a Muye Science and Technology holding subsidiary, leaving 49% of the shares in the Gaode team, so that they can continue to do their best in the domestic electronic map business on the basis of a large sum of money.
At the same time, in the future, the high-quality electronic maps will exclusively serve Muye cars in the automotive field.
As a result, several other car companies have no chance.
And, Li Mu also has a great killer.
This killer tool is the two smartphones currently under development to operate system.
Once Android and IOS come out and smart phones form a trend, the human-machine interaction system in the vehicle will naturally usher in a big leap. If Android is used to change the vehicle system, the leading level of Muye cars in technology will go further .
In the later generations, most of the car system is developed based on Android, and the car company that can truly develop a set of intelligent and mature man-machine system is actually only Tesla.
The Tesla man-machine system, like Android, is developed based on Linux. This is a huge amount of engineering. Apart from Tesla, no car company in the world can play it.
The reason is that Tesla’s boss Musk is a internet from Silicon Valley. When he engaged in Tesla, there were more software engineers than automotive engineers, so he can bring a lot of Software engineer, based on Linux, developed a set of human-machine system for Tesla, which is not difficult for him.
However, for other car companies, it is almost impossible.
Not to mention, Tesla of Musk also has Li Mu’s shares.
And Musk is still waiting for Li Mu to sponsor him to realize the Martian dream, so in the future, all his technical achievements on Tesla will definitely be shared with Muye cars.
At this stage, Musk has selflessly contributed Tesla‘s lithium battery pack technology and drive motor technology to Li Mu, and even the take-out electric vehicles required by Li Mu use Tesla technology.
So, this means that Li Mu will have at least three sets of ready-to-use, truly intelligent human-machine system in the future. No matter whether it is Toyota or Volkswagen, they can’t get one set.
This has laid a very important foundation for Muye cars. In the future, Li Mu may not be able to surpass the old car groups such as Toyota and Volkswagen at the level of the automobile industry. However, he can excel in the software field. Lead.
