Chapter 2643 Automobile Intelligent Monitoring System
Zhang Tao and the others went back with hope and excitement. In the next few months, they will upload all the ideas proposed by Xiao Qi to the racing partners.
After it is completed, it can be trial-produced and sold. At that time, they will gain both fame and fortune, and a happy life will follow!
Xiao Qi is more optimistic than all of them, because he knows that in the next few years, people in the world, especially those in developed countries, will advocate this kind of green and low-carbon life more and more. Whether they are living or exercising, they will use bicycles and racing cars a lot .
Therefore, the future growth of Racing Partner will be very impressive.
It is conservatively estimated that there can be about 200 million market shares, and Huaguo alone can exceed 30 million.
Of course, this market cannot be occupied by Fairy Company alone. Although some patents can put Fairy Company in a favorable competitive position, competitors will continue to appear.
As long as Xiao Qi keeps their racing partners consistently good, it is enough to occupy the high-end part of the market.
The racing partner naturally uses the fairy system, which is the same as Next Labs, and this is also Xiao Qi's request to developers. No matter what kind of intelligent system, it must be developed on the fairy system.
The purpose is naturally to make the fairy system a complete ecological chain that can extend to every aspect of people's intelligent life.
The ideas of several engineers also reminded Xiao Qi that he can fully exert his strength in another field.
That is the intelligent control system of the car!
Automobile intelligent control system, simply put, is to switch some mechanical functions to electronic mode. This is actually done by many manufacturers now, but the intelligent control system will be more precise and accurate, and it will brake, dodge, decelerate, predict road conditions, etc. etc., are all transferred to this system for control.
For example, VOLVO now has an active braking system. If the vehicle speed reaches a certain high speed and is close to the vehicle in front for a certain distance, the system will actively brake. Avoid collision hazards.
But from the perspective of the intelligent age, there are still some shortcomings.
For example, how to judge the speed of the car. How to judge the speed of the car in front, and what should you do if a car hits you from behind?
And if you are facing a vehicle coming from the side, how should you take the initiative to deal with it?
In rainy and snowy weather, stormy weather, dry road, rough road, how to actively adjust the vehicle's tires, center of gravity, etc., these are very important.
Naturally, the current technology has not yet reached that step, but it does not mean that it cannot be done.
Xiao Qi remembered. After Apple made the IPAD in its previous life, it began to reach out to the field of automotive intelligent systems. Although this project did not show signs of success when Xiao Qi was reincarnated, it is very difficult to launch any new thing, such as It takes a lot of money and energy to make something like a car intelligent system.
But that's where the magic of technology lies. It is undoubtedly a very happy thing to continuously create beautiful products to make people's lives better.
Xiao Qi has enough money now. What is left to future generations is enough, so he wants to make a career that benefits everyone. It doesn't matter if it's to satisfy one's professionalism, or to accumulate blessings, anyway, Xiao Qi is full of energy.
The reason why Xiao Qi did not get involved in the car intelligent control system before was not that the intelligent system was too difficult, nor did it require too much energy and material resources, and it took too long, but that the overall craftsmanship of the car had not kept up.
In Xiao Qi's impression, it was the time of the financial crisis. In order to improve their performance, the major automobile companies have brought out the high-end technologies that have been stored in the laboratory for many years. It is used in automobiles, so there will be a great development of automobiles in the next few years.
The most important part of a car lies in the design and manufacturing concept of the car. Only when the car itself is good enough can the car's intelligent control system play its greatest role - it is impossible for you to bring an Alto car that can also implement active braking, Active lane change and other functions, right?
Even if it is a high-end car, if some hardware conditions do not meet the requirements, then when the intelligent control system is working, it will be a little dangerous.
Now that the financial crisis has broken out, as the new Regal, a model that redefines mid-level cars, is launched in the Huaguo market, a new round of technological competition among foreign models has also begun. This is already an opportunity.
Starting to prepare now, naturally there are two efforts.
The first one is that Xiao Qi needs to build a professional R&D team, not only experts in smart electronics, but also experts in the automotive industry. Only by concentrating experts from both sides can the smart electronic control system perfectly match the car.
The second is to find a car company that is willing to cooperate with Xiao Qi. The cars of this company must be medium to high-end, and the technology itself must pass the test.
As mentioned earlier, there are actually quite a lot of car factories in Europe, but the Japanese car companies are also very powerful. As long as Xiao Qi is willing to pay, there will always be experts willing to join the R&D team.
The latter problem is the difficulty.
Xiao Qi and BYD have cooperated in the field of batteries and have a good relationship, but you can't ask BYD to serve as an experimental model, right?
If BYD is used as the carrier model of the intelligent control system, will anyone be willing to buy it? This is something that adds tens of thousands of costs. Historically, it has only been used on mid-to-high-end models, and then only after people have recognized it, the technology has matured, and the cost has dropped, can mid-size cars, compact cars, etc. be used.
And it has to be said that the intelligent control system is also a brand, and it must choose a strong alliance to establish its position in the field of automotive intelligent electronics.
Japan's automobile industry is very developed, and Xiao Qi has many acquaintances in Japan. If he wants to cooperate, there should be no problem.
Xiao Qi naturally doesn't like the Japanese very much, and he doesn't want to use his car intelligent monitoring system to increase the competitiveness of Japanese cars, so he excludes them.
In the automobile industry in the UK and Italy, there are very few for the general public, and most of them are high-end, such as Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, etc., which are not suitable for promoting technology, so they are also excluded.
Germany's auto industry is very suitable. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi are all famous in the world, and their technology is also very good, but Xiao Qi also doesn't like the Germans, and wants to weaken their strength by a hundred times, so he still doesn't look for them.
The rest are American cars.
Although Ford, General Motors and Chrysler don't have the highest-end cars, they have a lot of mid-to-high-end cars, and they have a good reputation in the Chinese market. This is their advantage.
And Fairy Company also has great influence in the United States. So far, most of the companies that have sold shares under its umbrella have been sold to Americans, and it has a good relationship with Citibank, and its relationship on Wall Street is not bad.
More importantly, just last month, General Motors and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy, causing a sensation around the world.
Unlike the previous life, GM and Chrysler only filed for bankruptcy in October in this life, and they did so in June in the previous life. It seems that there are still many butterfly effects of Xiao Qi's reincarnation.
What happened to GM and Chrysler is none of Xiao Qi's business, but taking advantage of GM's difficulties in the next few years, Xiao Qi will naturally get more attention if he goes to discuss cooperation with them.
Of course, although Xiao Qi knows that 60% of GM's shares will be held by the US government in the future, and the US government wants to sell these shares anytime and anywhere, Xiao Qi has no intention of wanting it at all.
The reason, of course, is that the trade unions in GM are too domineering, so it is not hiring people to work at all, it is purely raising ancestors!
Why do most of the American factory industry have to move out?
One of the most important reasons is the existence of trade unions.
These labor unions not only have to limit the capitalists' various regulations, including working hours, locations, overtime, layoffs... etc., they have the right to decide, and they even occupy the shares of the company. Your boss and the board of directors are not as good as you They have great power!
GM's loss and bankruptcy, in fact, is partially due to the various constraints of the trade unions. The labor costs and retirement costs they paid are too high, which is more expensive than raising 10 Chinese workers, so they can't support it. .
Tell me, if all the companies under your umbrella are full of people like this, who will only do everything possible to be lazy, but don't want to work hard, how can your company do well?
No matter how rich Xiao Qi is, he won't spend it here!
In contrast, although the Germans are very precise about the commute to and from get off work, they work hard and are definitely worthy of the salary you give.
The Japanese are even more exaggerated. It is common to often take the initiative to work overtime. If you don’t do well, you don’t need to talk to the people above, and you have to kneel down and apologize. Therefore, the three major Japanese automobile companies directly overthrew the three major American automobile companies. became number one in the world.
Well, the topic is far away.
Since GM is so difficult, Xiao Qi will naturally get a lot of attention when he comes to cooperate with them.
The profit of mid-to-high-end vehicles is also the highest. In order to make more money to get out of the predicament, GM will definitely make enough concessions and let Xiao Qi lead the operation of this intelligent control system.
And with such a large platform as GM, the automotive intelligent monitoring system can naturally be promoted faster and better, with an immediate effect.
In addition to GM, Xiao Qi's other company, Tesla Motors, can also come in handy.
Although Tesla will not have much development in the next ten years due to the constraints of electric power, but occupying this high point of new energy and new technology is also a good platform to gain fame! (to be continued ~^~)
