As the first international A-class auto show held offline in the post-epidemic era, this year's Beijing Auto Show is destined to be special. Although the number of new cars due to the impact of the epidemic is not as large as in previous years, the exhibition area has shrunk from 220,000 square meters in 2018 to 200,000 square meters, but in the cold winter of the car market and the epidemic double clamped by the creation of a grim environment, the Beijing Auto Show in the open and dark struggle is bound to remain intense.

As we all know, the auto industry is facing a new round of major changes with the arrival of 5G technology and the mainstream development trend of new technologies such as autonomous driving and intelligent Internet connection. This is from the theme of the auto show "Smart Leader Future" can be some glimpse, technology and intelligence, almost all the exhibitors car companies show highlights, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Geely, Volvo, whether in the debut of the concept car, or in the modification and upgrade of the new car, everywhere not to convey the "smart" message. The message of "smart" is everywhere. Huawei, Horizon, Mobile Technology ...... and many other intelligent network technology suppliers also appeared at the show. Throughout the entire auto show, in addition to the trend of automotive electrification, automotive intelligence, software-defined automobiles are leading the industry trend.

Whoever gets 5G in-vehicle technology first

Whoever is not far away from real autonomous driving

In previous years, in-vehicle systems were often considered to be a "chicken ribs" configuration because of their flashiness, and the smoothness and utility of the system was far less than that of smartphones. This session of the auto show, it can be clearly felt that the major brands are making efforts in the intelligent driving system, and compete for the center control screen and even the entire intelligent cockpit of the "right to speak".

As the reporter saw, many concept cars and production models at the show are already based on 5G technology.

The new Rongwei MARVEL-R

Dongfeng Group's new high-end electric brand Lantu debuted the iFree concept car, which is noteworthy because the new car is equipped with body recognition, intelligent human-vehicle interaction, and has been able to support the 5G interconnection and communication technology.

Beijing Automotive New Energy's high-end brand ARCFOX's pure electric SUV?ARCFOX?αT is also equipped with a 5G chip, the use of 5G chip ultra-fast network speeds can realize intelligent driving, intelligent interaction, intelligent electric drive system in one, and more multi-dimensional recognition technology such as human face, emotions, gestures, voice prints, touch.

And in the auto show just opened the pre-sale of the new Rongwei MARVEL-R, for the first time equipped with Huawei's 5G?T-BOX technology, can realize the L3 (self-driving level, L4 is the highest) level of self-driving car mass production.

In addition, Chery Jetway is also one of the first car companies to get Huawei's 5G car module and launch the new 5G?TBOX technology. Under the high-speed information transmission of 5G network, Chery Jetway already has all the conditions for L4-level intelligent driver assistance system, and mass production on the road is just around the corner.

It is certain that the layout of 5G network is the top priority for the future development of automobile manufacturers, because in order to realize the real automatic driving needs high-speed real-time information transmission, and this all needs 5G network support.

The masters of the game, the victory or defeat is only between millimeters, who can prioritize the acquisition of vehicle 5G technology, who will be able to obtain the right to prioritize the matching of scientific and technological configurations, and who will win the first opportunity in the period of market change.

Huawei's hard-core exhibition

Future cars will integrate a variety of applications and social services

Between a number of traditional car companies and new car-making forces, Huawei's booth is very conspicuous, in the past as a supplier of car machine systems, Huawei, this year, not only has an independent booth, but also displayed Huawei intelligent cockpit and contains electric drive system, on-board charger, battery management system and DC fast charging module under the car, including many intelligent electric field heavyweight products.

Among them, Huawei Smart Cockpit attracted great attention. This smart cockpit solution integrates a full range of travel scenarios such as outing and commuting, and has a number of interactive functions, such as face recognition, signal light prompts, AR head-up display, manual drag and drop control of parking, line-of-sight tracking, voice comprehension, AI assistant, wireless charging, gesture photo taking, fatigue monitoring, etc., which realizes the seamless connection between cell phone and car. It can realize seamless docking between mobile phone and car, and bring users an extraordinary human-vehicle life experience. It is reported that this set of intelligent cockpit solutions will be applied in the near future, Huawei is currently seeking cooperation with a number of car companies.

Huawei booth

Technology giants and car companies are commonplace, not just Huawei, Baidu, Tencent, Ali in the field of car have a deep layout. Before the auto show, FAW Volkswagen announced cooperation with Alibaba in artificial intelligence, big data analysis and other aspects.

BMW, Great Wall, Changan, Guangzhou Automobile booth are equipped with Tencent ecological car networking TAI3.0 models debut, in the new car, you can experience WeChat in-car version, Aiqi listening and other content and social services, according to the owner's driving path to quickly scan the surrounding life scene, and for the owners of the car to send just the right active push.

Ford, Buick, Hyundai, Lexus and other brands are equipped with Baidu's Apollo Intelligent Vehicle Link. The most important feature of this system is that it can realize the car and home interconnection, two-way interactive control by the smart home to control the vehicle, and by the vehicle to control the smart home. Lexus UX electric version, for example, the car can be linked to the home of the air conditioning, air purifier, sweeping robots, lights, fans, washing machines, sockets and other 300 kinds of smart home equipment, in a distant place can also be used in the car remote control switch, very convenient.

Volvo's conference invited Gaode Maps and KDDI to stand on the stage endorsement, the conference protagonist also focus on the Volvo XC40?RECHARGE equipped with a new generation of in-vehicle intelligent connectivity system.
