Today, when cars are accelerating and intelligent, BYD seems to have taken a rather radical step.
After announcing that it became the industry’s first brand to fully open all sensors and control rights for cars, BYD held its first developer conference today (September 5) and officially released the BYD D++ open ecosystem, attracting many developers and trying to open up The automobile industry has been relatively closed in the past. BYD, which has opened up hardware and established a platform, is trying to seize the opportunity in the intelligentization of automobiles.
This developer conference won the platform of Baidu President Zhang Yaqin, 360 Chairman and CEO Zhou Hongyi and other big-name platforms. BYD also revealed a number of partners and its layout in autonomous driving.
Want to become the Apple of China's auto industry?
Whether it is a large traditional manufacturer or a group of new car-making forces, intelligence is often a word on the lips, but it is basically in the state of "playing each other". In this regard, Wang Chuanfu believes that, as an auto manufacturer, BYD should start from the hardware field that it is good at, become a smart car hardware standard platform provider, and open it up to the outside world. “There is currently a lot of research on car intelligence, but overall it is still relatively fragmented. , There is no unified standard, no platform, and you need to modify your own vehicles to study autonomous driving, which is expensive and very inefficient."
"On this platform, Baidu, Horizon, etc. can do its autonomous driving, 360 can explore its brand-new car and machine safety system, and online car-hailing companies can innovate operating models and realize fleet management. People, we will also provide a platform for creative growth." Wang Chuanfu pointed out as an example.
At this developer conference, the first model equipped with "BYD D++ Open Ecology", the Qin Pro family, was officially unveiled, opening up 341 sensors and 66 control rights on the car, and connecting with the DiLink intelligent network equipped at the same time. Start, link developers, products and users to empower future smart travel.
BYD introduced that the open ecology has made Qin Pro a car that can "self-evolve". Developers of all walks of life can let various innovative content and various application scenarios land on the BYD platform. From this point of view, BYD It's like working hard in the direction of the "car version of Apple".
"There are more than 10 sensors on mobile phones, attracting tens of millions of developers around the world to participate in them, and more than 3 million applications have been generated. BYD will fully open up 341 sensors and 66 control rights on cars to provide developers with more As a broad creative growth platform, combined with the rich use of automobiles, it is bound to derive an immeasurable application ecology." Shu Youxing, Dean of BYD Automotive Smart Ecological Research Institute, introduced.
With regard to the application of today's in-vehicle intelligent systems, major car companies currently have their own development and alliances with BAT. For example, when Weilai ES8 was released, it said that the NOMI system is the world's first in-vehicle artificial intelligence system, which integrates a voice interaction system and an intelligent emotion engine. It can realize automatic learning functions and continuously optimize entertainment functions, voice navigation functions, etc. , But NIO did not mention too much about the development and opening of NOMI.
Another example is the GE3 530, a pure electric SUV recently launched by GAC Trumpchi. It is equipped with an AI system cooperating with Tencent. It is the first model of Tencent’s new in-vehicle AI system cooperation. It has intelligent voice, real-time navigation, AI stubbing, The five core functions of QQ music, social travel, etc., especially emphasize high-precision voice recognition technology, which can quickly and accurately complete functions such as voice song ordering, voice control of the car, and voice query.
The typical "alliance" with Internet companies is SAIC Motor. The AliOS Zebra Zhixing system developed in cooperation with Ali provides intelligent solutions for car travel. At first, Zebra Zhixing was relatively "closed" and was only available on some models such as Roewe. Application. Recently, Dongfeng Citroen Yixing is also equipped with this system, becoming the first joint venture model exported by this system.
It is not difficult to see that the cooperation between Internet companies and vehicle manufacturers has already blossomed everywhere, but in terms of openness, this time BYD is also a precedent. "The Internet will never be produced on the abacus, and mechanical cars will naturally not produce real smart cars. Just like the process of mobile phone intelligence, we believe that moving from closed to open is also the only way for cars to become intelligent." In Wang Chuanfu's view After all, the key to automobile intelligence lies in opening up. At the time node, Wang Chuanfu believes that automobiles will be fully intelligent in 2035. However, BYD has not elaborated on the subsequent profit model and other aspects. However, some people in the industry believe that the current domestic intelligent networked car standard has not officially landed, and BYD's move may seize more "right to speak" in formulating standards.
Of course, with the opening of control rights and the birth of massive data, how to ensure safety is also an important issue. "We will also use the 360 ​​application on BYD Auto’s DiLink intelligent network connection system. Some applications can help the application on the DiLink platform more Security," Zhou Hongyi, chairman and CEO of 360 Group, revealed at this developer conference. It is reported that for consumers, Qin Pro has carried out the highest level of data port encryption to ensure safety and convenience.
Or paving the way for autonomous driving
Although BYD keeps emphasizing its openness, in-vehicle entertainment, voice control and other systems have already blossomed everywhere and are highly reproducible. Wang Chuanfu also believes that voice control is the simplest and most basic application for smart cars. How to absorb the most advanced technology through openness , Autonomous driving seems to be the real way out. At the developer conference, BYD also specially placed Qin Pro's self-driving modified vehicles in the center of the venue.
Kai Yu, founder and CEO of Horizon, believes that in the ecology of automotive intelligence, artificial intelligence will be the core technology, and autonomous driving is the "Mount Everest" in artificial intelligence technology. On the increasingly crowded autonomous driving track, BYD is also trying to seize the opportunity of autonomous driving through an open platform.
This time the BYD Developers Conference received Baidu’s “strong platformâ€. Autonomous driving is naturally a topic that cannot be separated from it. As an Internet company with an early start in the field of autonomous driving in China, Baidu has opened up the Apollo cooperation platform for a long time. If Apollo belongs to the category of software, and BYD’s smart platform belongs to the category of hardware, then the cooperation between Baidu and BYD is the result of a "soft and hard combination".
It is reported that all BYD cars are equipped with the Baidu Map car version, and Baidu provides BYD with smart driving car solutions. The reporter also learned from this developer conference that the two parties will achieve mass production of autonomous vehicles within three years. Previously, Baidu announced at the annual AI Developers Conference that it had achieved mass production of self-driving buses with King Long, but the car actually only achieved self-driving in small-scale specific scenarios such as parks. When will Baidu and passenger car companies? Only L3 level autonomous vehicles can be incubated, which has attracted much attention.
In addition, the Qin Pro is currently scheduled to be used as a test vehicle for Baidu Apollo for demonstration road tests. At the same time, the Qin Pro model is also the first Baidu Apollo pre-certified vehicle. It is expected to achieve mass production of L3 level automatic driving in the future, which is also rare in the industry. Pre-installed certified vehicles for autonomous driving. Some people in the autonomous driving industry told Nandu reporters that whether the design and interface of the test vehicle are suitable for automatic driving modification has a direct impact on the cost and effect of the modification. Vehicles with automatic driving pre-installation certification are naturally more suitable for automatic driving. Driving modification.
In fact, this is the first time that BYD has more clearly announced its autonomous driving partners and the first models to be adopted. The cooperation between Baidu and BYD is likely to be the largest software platform and hardware platform cooperation in China. What kind of sparks have attracted much attention. Recently, traditional car manufacturers and technology companies have frequently spoken out in the field of autonomous driving. Toyota announced that it has invested US$500 million in Uber to expand cooperation in autonomous driving. Not long ago, Japan’s Softbank Vision Fund announced an investment of US$2.25 billion in GM’s Cruise self-driving start-up company. Ford also announced that it will invest heavily in autonomous driving in the next few years. By the end of 2023, the investment amount will reach 4 billion US dollars. As for Apple, which has been acting low-key, it has also been exposed that its self-driving vehicle has recently had a traffic accident.
However, in addition to autonomous driving, Wang Chuanfu and Baidu President Zhang Yaqin who attended this developer conference both emphasized the blueprint for smart travel. "Baidu and BYD are not simply laying out the auto industry, but drawing a bigger blueprint for the future city. . Through artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies, cloud-side-end-industry and consumers will be connected together to bring smarter transportation and smarter cities," said Zhang Yaqin.
