Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 43: Automobile intelligent monitoring system

Zhang Tao and the others went back with hope and excitement. In the next few months, they will load all the ideas proposed by Xiao Qi on their racing partners.

After it is finished, it can be put into trial production for sale. At that time, they will gain both fame and fortune, and a happy life will follow one after another!

Xiao Qi is more optimistic than them, because he knows that people in the world, especially those in developed countries, will increasingly advocate this kind of green and low-carbon life, whether they live or exercise, they will use bicycles and racing a lot. .

Therefore, the future growth of racing partners will be very impressive.

It is conservatively estimated that they can have a market holding of about 200 million, and China alone can exceed 30 million.

Of course, this market cannot be occupied by the fairy company. Although some patents can put the fairy company in a favorable competitive position, competitors will continue to appear.

As long as Xiao Qi keeps them consistently good as their racing partners, it is enough to occupy the high-end part of the market.

The racing partners naturally use the fairy system, which is the same as labs. This is also the requirement of Xiao Qi for developers. No matter what intelligent system, it must be developed on the fairy system.

The goal 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 in another field, he could also use his strength.

That is the intelligent control system of the car!

Automobile intelligent control system. Simply put, it is to switch some mechanical functions to electronic mode. In fact, many manufacturers are doing this now, but the intelligent control system will be more precise and accurate. The braking, dodge, deceleration, road forecasting, etc. are all controlled by this system.

For example, there is already 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 to avoid the danger of collision.

But this is from the perspective of the intelligent age. There are still some shortcomings.

For example, how to determine the speed of the vehicle, and how to determine the speed of the preceding vehicle. What should I do if a car crashes from behind?

And if a vehicle facing the side squeezes over, how should you actively respond?

In rain and snow weather, stormy weather, dry roads, rugged roads, how to actively adjust the tires, center of gravity, etc. of vehicles. These are very important.

The current technology naturally has not achieved that step, but it does not mean that it cannot be achieved.

Xiao Qi remembers that after Apple made the ipad in the previous life, it began to reach out to the field of automotive intelligent systems. Although this project did not show any signs of success when Xiao Qi was reincarnated, the launch of any new thing was very Difficult, things like car intelligent systems. It takes countless money and energy to make it happen.

But the charm of science and technology is here, and energy continues to create beautiful products. To make people's lives better, this is undoubtedly a very happy thing.

Xiao Qi now has enough money, enough for his children and grandchildren, so he even wants to make a career that will benefit everyone, whether it is to satisfy his professional ambition or to accumulate blessings. Anyway, Xiao Qi is full of energy.

The reason why Xiao Qi didn't get involved in the car's intelligent control system before is not that this intelligent system is too difficult. It's not that too much energy and material resources are needed, and the time is too long, but the overall process of the car has not kept up.

In Xiao Qi’s impression, that is, at the time of the financial crisis, in order to improve their performance, the major automobile companies took out the high-end technology that had been stored in the laboratory for many years and used it on the car. So there was a great development of automobiles in the following years.

The most important part of a car is still the design and manufacturing concept of the car. Only when the car itself is good enough, the car's intelligent control system can play the biggest role. It is impossible that you can take an Alto car and implement active braking and active changes. Dao and so on, right?

Even a high-end car, if some hardware conditions fail to meet the requirements, then the intelligent control system will be somewhat dangerous when it is working.

Now that the financial crisis has broken out, with the launch of the new Regal, a model that redefines the mid-level car, into the Chinese market, a new round of technological competition has begun for a foreign model. This is already an opportunity.

Starting to prepare now, naturally there are two efforts.

The first is that Xiao Qi wants to form a professional R&D team, not only experts in intelligent electronics, but also experts in the automotive industry. Only when the experts from both sides are gathered together can the intelligent electronic control system be perfectly matched to the car.

The second is to find a car company that is willing to cooperate with Xiao Qi. The company's vehicles must have mid-to-high-end vehicles, and they must pass technically.

It’s easy to say that there are actually quite a few 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 who are willing to come to the R&D team.

The latter problem is the difficulty.

Xiao Qi and BYD have a cooperative relationship in the battery field, and the relationship is also good, but you can't ask BYD to act 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 will increase the cost by tens of thousands. Traditionally, it was only used on mid-to-high-end models, and then waited for people to recognize it, the technology was mature, and the cost dropped before it could get medium-sized cars, compact cars, and so on.

And what I have to say is that the intelligent control system is also a brand, and we 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 you want to cooperate, there should be no problem.

Xiao Qi naturally doesn't like Japanese people much, and doesn't want to use his own car's intelligent monitoring system to increase the competitiveness of Japanese cars, so he ruled out.

The automobile industry in Britain and Italy now has very few 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.

The German automobile industry is very suitable. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi are all famous all over the world, and their technology is also very good, but Xiao Qi also dislikes Germans and can't wait to weaken their strength by a hundred times, so I still don't look for them.

The rest are American cars.

Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, although the three major automobile companies do not have the most high-end cars, they have a large number of mid-to-high-end cars and have a good reputation in the Chinese market. This is their advantage.

The Fairy Company also has great influence in the United States. So far, most of the companies that have sold shares are sold to Americans, and they have good relations with Citibank. The relationship on Wall Street is not bad.

More importantly, just last month, GM and Chrysler have filed for bankruptcy, causing a sensation in the world.

Unlike the previous life, GM and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy only in October in this life. They did so in June in the previous life. It seems that the butterfly effect of Xiao Qi's reincarnation still has a lot of effects.

How GM and Chrysler are unlucky is not about Xiao Qi's business, but taking advantage of GM's difficult period in the next few years, Xiao Qi will talk to them about cooperation, which will naturally get more attention.

Of course, although Xiao Qi knows that GM's shares will be held by the US government in the future 60%, and the US government wants to dispose of these shares anytime and anywhere, but Xiao Qi has no meaning at all.

The reason, naturally, is that the trade unions in GM are too domineering. 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 abroad?

The most important reason is the existence of trade unions.

These unions not only have to restrict the various regulations of the capitalists, including working hours, locations, overtime, layoffs, etc., they all have the right to decide, and even they have to occupy the company's shares. Your boss and the board of directors are not comparable. They have great power!

GM’s loss and bankruptcy actually part of the reason is that under the various constraints of the union, the labor costs and retirement costs they paid were too high, more expensive than raising 10 Chinese workers, so they couldn’t sustain it. .

Tell me, if all of the companies under your company are such people, they will only do everything possible to be lazy, but don't want to work hard, how can your company do well?

Even if Xiao Qi had money, he wouldn't invest in it to consume it!

In contrast, although the Germans are very precise about the get off work commute, they work seriously and are absolutely worthy of your salary~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Japanese are even more exaggerated, and they often take the initiative. Overtime is common. If you don’t do a good job, you will have to kneel down and apologize without talking to the person above. Therefore, the three major Japanese auto companies directly overturned the three major American auto companies and became the number one in the world.

Well, the topic is far off.

Since GM is so difficult, Xiao Qi will come to cooperate with them, and he will naturally get a lot of attention.

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 certainly make enough concessions to let Xiao Qi dominate the operation of this intelligent control system.

With such a large platform as GM, the automobile 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 is limited by electric power, there will not be much development in the previous ten years, but occupying this high point of new energy and new technology is also a good platform to gain reputation! (To be continued)
