Three major autonomous car companies upgrade their smart networked strategies and tactics

Publish Date: 2020.11.23

    Since November, the three independent brands of Changan, SAIC and GAC have made important upgrades in intelligent planning and development.

    1. Changan joins hands with Huawei and CATL to build a high-end smart car brand and releases the Ark architecture

    On November 14, Changan Automobile, together with Huawei and CATL, will jointly build a new high-end smart car brand, and the first product will enter the mass production stage. Following the public debut of L3 level autonomous driving technology, Changan has joined hands with Huawei, a popular domestic ICT technology supplier, to jointly build a proprietary brand for smart cars, which can be described as a further upgrade in smart car strategy. The cooperation with Huawei has also been upgraded from strategic cooperation to brand-building cooperation. On the one hand, it reflects that Huawei, as a core intelligent technology supplier, is no longer a strategic partner, but one of the brand builders. The change in role will promote The cooperation is deeper, or the intelligent technology and vehicle manufacturing will be deeply integrated from the bottom, so that the intelligent technology and the upgrade of the vehicle will be integrated. At the same time, the more intuitive impact will be that Huawei's technology may be the first to be applied to Changan Automobile . At present, Huawei has its own technical advantages in intelligent driving computing platform and operating system. This cooperation will enhance Changan's intelligent upgrade.

    However, the upgrading of intelligent technology by independent brands is not Chang'an. High-end intelligent electric high-end brands Dongfeng Lantu and BAIC ARCFOX have been released in front of Changan. ARCFOX has already launched products. Lantu's large and high-end intelligent electric SUV will be launched in December. The world premiere, obviously in this step, Changan is slightly behind.

    In addition, Changan has also released the intelligent architecture Ark architecture, with 36 sensors reserved for advanced automatic driving through multiple lidar settings, which also means that Changan will use lidar to achieve an advanced level of advanced automatic driving.

    2. SAIC upgrades the level of autonomous driving technology and network technology

    During the Guangzhou Auto Show, SAIC Roewe's pure electric product Marvel R officially opened pre-sales. This is the first mass-produced car under the Roewe brand with 5G technology, and the level of autonomous driving hardware can reach L3. In addition to autonomous driving technology, Marvel R also uses Huawei's 5G T-Box and Barong 5000 technology platform to realize V2X smart travel and 5G smart cockpit.

    In terms of autonomous driving technology, although SAIC is not the first company to launch L3 technology, it is considered one of the earliest domestic auto companies to implement this technology. At the same time, it has made progress in V2X technology.

    According to the market application goals given in the newly released "Intelligent Connected Vehicle Technology Roadmap 2.0", the new car assembly rate of C-V2X terminals will reach 50% in 2025 and will be basically popularized in 2030. Networked collaborative perception, collaborative decision-making and control Functions continue to be applied, and vehicles are interconnected with other traffic participants. Here, C-V2X's technical application plan is faster than autonomous driving, which will gradually reflect the market application layer. The rapid implementation of C-V2X technology will become another competitive point for enterprises outside of autonomous driving technology. At present, domestic Some companies have already implemented or accelerated the implementation of C-V2X technology. From 2020 to 2021 is the time for the implementation of the C-V2X industry. Enterprises should pay attention to this and increase investment and use of C-V2X technology. Policy support direction.

    3. GAC releases autonomous driving plans and high-end smart electric vehicle brands

    During the Guangzhou Auto Show, GAC Group further clarified its development plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, it will create “two” independent research and development core systems, one of which is the core technology of intelligent network connection. In terms of specific planning, GAC plans In 2023, we will realize the mass application of L3 level automatic driving. In 2024, we will launch a new electronic and electrical architecture to realize the mass production of L4 level automatic driving. In 2025, we will realize the commercial operation of L4 intelligent driving in specific scenarios.

    In addition, "GAC E'an" has officially become Guangzhou's high-end smart electric vehicle brand with a new LOGO. Although GAC New Energy has been pushing the implementation of new intelligent network technology on the Aian brand models, the formal identification of it as a high-end smart electric vehicle brand undoubtedly makes it clear that the Aian brand will become a pioneer in the application of GAC’s intelligent network connection technology. It may also get more resources from GAC.

    On the whole, independent enterprises present two important characteristics for the development of intelligent network technology. One is to be more focused, through the establishment of proprietary brands, to achieve the implementation of intelligent network technology in a more focused way; second, the existing technology continues Upgrade and speed up the implementation, especially for new energy vehicles. It is expected that the competition of intelligent network technology will enter a new stage next year.
