“Electrification is the first half of the auto revolution, networking, intelligence and digitalization are the second half of the Auto Revolution, and chips and operating systems as the basis of digitalization will become the focus of competition,”Chen Qingtai, president of the 100-member Chinese Association of electric vehicles, said at the Third Global Conference on Supply Chain Innovation of new energy and smart cars recently.
Chen Qingtai said that as a large-scale, innovative and active smart car market, China is constantly promoting smart car chip innovation.
Although home-made chips can “Get on the bus”, as “Latecomers”, the most difficult barrier to break through is to enter the market, that is, how to break through the supply and demand pattern of the past solidified chip market.
“The chip shortage that started last year reflects two problems, one is the insufficient supply of the traditional chip supply system, and the other is that the global industrial pattern of high-performance in-vehicle computing chips has not yet solidified, which opens a window of opportunity for Chinese in-vehicle chip companies to rise in competition and seize this rare historic opportunity to break into the global chip supply chain,”Chen said.
Car from the traditional means of transportation gradually upgraded to the third largest mobile intelligent terminal, the car operating system has also become a “Battle for the place.”
Miao Wei, Deputy Director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference -CPPCCppcc) , told the conference that fJanuaryuaryAugustgust this year, the penetration rateChinahina’s l2-level intelligent network passenger cars with the functions of adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking and lane maintenance has reached 20 percent. “The operating system is the key to the digital transformation of the automobile enterprises,”he said. “It is the strategic place that every enterprise must compete for.”
Chen Qingtai said, China’s intelligent network of cars in the technical capacity, industrial scale, innovation activity, are in the forefront of the world. Now, each new energy vehicle enterprise is independent or cooperates with the specialized software company to develop the operating system, has the certain accumulation, this has created the independent controllable “Chinese version”the intelligent vehicle operating system to lay the foundation.
Experts pointed out that at present, the intelligent vehicle operating system has not formed a unified pattern, in the operating system “Unified”process, each enterprise has the opportunity to win the competition.
