Chapter 1820

With the popularity of the automobile media all over the world and the preference of the automobile enthusiasts and ordinary consumers all over the world, every automobile manufacturer is now struggling to develop a set of its own color screen based human-computer interaction system.

Toyota of Japan was the first to start, followed by Volkswagen of Germany.

They realized the great changes brought to the automobile industry by the disruptors, especially those like Li Mu, who did not play according to the rules at all.

What is the original competition among automobile manufacturers?

So that we can develop different types of models according to different user groups, different needs, different market environment, and make a comprehensive and industrialized comparison with other competitors' models.

Therefore, the product lines of all large automobile groups cover almost every level, including but not limited to hatchback, hatchback, travel, mini, small, medium and large

Take the common B-class cars in China. Japanese cars include Honda Accord, Toyota Camry (Camry), Volkswagen Passat and Buick Regal. The competition among automobile manufacturers is basically about appearance and mechanical configuration. No one has ever extended the competition to the field of science and technology unrelated to traditional cars.

However, Li Mu did just that.

In fact, Li Mu also knows his own long board and short board.

He now has the most comprehensive technology, which is the most suitable for middle end cars, that is Volvo's technology.

On the other hand, Land Rover and Jaguar are basically local aristocrats who can't do anything now. Their existing technology and platform are not suitable for middle end cars, but more suitable for middle and high-end cars. After all, these two brands don't have engines with displacement less than 3.0.

In terms of comprehensive level, there is still a big gap between the Volvo vehicle technology used by Makino aurora and the giant enterprises like Toyota and Volkswagen. In the first mock exam,

Li Mu knew that the long time to catch up with the gap in the industrial field was not even in 35 years or even ten years. Many domestic car companies had been developing for ten years or even longer.

After all, you are running, others are running, and they have run for decades before you. It's really difficult to catch up with this gap.

So we have to find another way.

Why can Chinese Internet enterprises rise rapidly in such a short period of time? Even before Li Mu's rebirth, Chinese Internet enterprises are basically in the forefront of the world in various fields.

The reason is that the Internet in the world started in the 1990s, and the Internet in China started in the 1990s. Everyone's technical level is not far behind, just a few years ago. Coupled with the Chinese people's hard-working and hard-working spirit, the gap in those years can be caught up in at most ten years to achieve catch-up.

However, this is only the leading in the field of software, as well as in the field of Internet product form and mode.

When it comes to computer hardware, the gap between China and the west is much larger than that in the automobile field.

At the very least, when Li Mu was reborn, Huaxia was still lacking in the field of computer chips. Although it had its own chips, the performance gap was far greater than that of automobiles. Although the overall technical level of domestic automobiles was much lower than that of American, Japanese and German automobile enterprises, at least many practical and cost-effective models could be built, so the chips were far from being good.

That's why, in Li Mu's mind, what he wants to do is to subvert the traditional automobile manufacturing industry, rather than compete with them.

So, in addition to using the interior and appearance to win the first chance, the remaining advantages are all focused on the humanized design of products and the degree of technology.

This gives him a leading position in traditional automobile enterprises for at least two to three years, and Li Mu is confident to expand this advantage.

In the automobile manufacturing industry, there is a very hard thing, that is, all things should be basically done with hardware and software adaptation.

There is no intersection between the automobile manufacturers and the Internet industry, nor with the high-tech computer and software industries.

This kind of feeling is like a mobile phone brand that has never been a smart phone before. Suddenly, it will be forced by the market to start research on smart phones one day.

But they haven't even made a color phone before.

In this way, the workload in front of them becomes extremely large.

It is not only necessary to develop the whole system, but also to adapt the corresponding hardware of the whole system to the system.

Even the top automobile enterprises like Toyota and Volkswagen have no ability and foundation to build a set of intelligent human-computer interaction system independently.

Moreover, the supply chain of hardware alone is enough for them to be bothered by replacing the central control with a color screen.

Then we need to redesign the interior, redevelop and develop the mold, find the right hardware suppliers around the world, and re integrate a new supply chain.

The Germans were the first to despair because they found that even if they integrated the supply chain, they would not be able to develop an interactive system comparable to that of Makino in one to two years.If you just plug a color screen in the car, but you can't make the color screen intelligent, then consumers won't pay for it.

And Li Mu also has a killer mace, which is the map and navigation provided by keyhole.

Since keyhole is a joint acquisition of Li Mu and Google, he and Google have already clearly set the equity closed-loop.

First of all, keyhole will never authorize any car related enterprise to use any technology and data of keyhole.

Secondly, keyhole will never authorize the use of any Internet company other than Makino technology and Google.

If VW and Toyota want to develop a navigation system, they can't even buy the full digital map copyright for a while.

Toyota may be able to buy local map data of Japan, but their Toyota cars sell well all over the world, and he has no way to buy digital maps of various countries and regions around the world.

Keyhole can. If it is the previous keyhole, it will certainly sell data and maps to companies like Toyota.

But now keyhole will not give Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz and BMW any chance.

In this way. It's also a very long process for several automobile enterprises to realize navigation in their own vehicles.

Even jobs's first iPhone and previous iPhones used maps from Google.

Apple's own map didn't officially go online until 2012, and the experience of using Apple's map in the past few years has been very bad.

It can be seen that in the last life, Google Maps relied on the foundation of keyhole, and its leading level in electronic map was far higher than that of apple.

It took Apple several years to launch Apple maps, not to catch up with Google maps, but to finally be able to replace Google maps.

In fact, the best electronic map in the world has always been Google, and no one else can.

Now, Li Mu has reached a tripartite agreement with Google and keyhole. In the field of automobile, all the bases of keyhole, and all the innovative technologies Google makes on the basis of keyhole, all of them are exclusive to Muye automobile in the field of automobile, excluding all similar competitors.

In the future, no car brand in the world will be able to use Google maps.

Therefore, this alone makes the development of vehicle navigation of other automobile brands difficult.

It can also be seen that Li Mu, a reborn man, controls the overall situation and key points.

For example, without the foundation of Google and keyhole, car companies from all over the world, if they want to provide navigation services in mainland China now, the only company they can choose right now is golde.

Gao Degang has just been established for two years. Now, Gao Degang is still in its infancy. Even they don't have a complete electronic map of the whole mainland of China. If car companies cooperate with them, they may only provide urban navigation for a few or a dozen medium and large cities in the early stage.

In addition, the car companies have no other choice, let them set up their own mapping team, which is not realistic at all.

Because automobile is an industry that tests the supply chain, no one can control everything from the beginning to the end.

A car is made up of thousands of parts. Whether it's a domestic car, a Japanese car, an American car, a German car, or even a French car, their parts are from all over the world.

However, Li Mu didn't want to give any chance to other brands. Before they could react and figure out all the fields that need to be considered in the whole human-computer interaction system, he immediately instructed Li Ziwei to directly contact with Gao de and make a strategic investment for Gao De to become the holding subsidiary of Muye Technology, leaving 49% of the shares for Gao De's team, so that they could get a share in it On the basis of a large amount of money, we will continue to do our best to do well in the domestic electronic map business.

At the same time, in the future, the electronic map of golde will provide exclusive services to Muye automobile in the field of automobile.

In this way, other car companies have no chance.

Moreover, Li Mu has a great mace.

This trump card is the two smartphone operating systems that are currently being developed synchronously.

Once Android and IOS come out and smart phones become the trend, the man-machine interaction system on board will naturally usher in a big leap. If Android is used to change the car machine system, the leading level of Muye automobile in science and technology will be further advanced.

Later generations, most of the car engine systems are developed based on Android, but only Tesla can develop a set of intelligent and mature man-machine systems.

Tesla's human-machine system, like Android, is developed based on Linux, which is a huge amount of work. Except Tesla, no car company in the world can play around.

The reason is that mask, Tesla's boss, is an Internet man from Silicon Valley. When he started Tesla, he had more software engineers than automobile engineers. So he can develop a set of man-machine system for Tesla with a large number of software engineers on the basis of Linux, which is not difficult for him.But that is almost impossible for other car companies.

Besides, Tesla of musk also has shares of Li Mu.

And musk is waiting for Li Mu to help him realize the Mars dream, so in the future, all his technical achievements on Tesla will surely be shared with Makino.

At this stage, musk has selflessly contributed Tesla's lithium battery pack technology and drive motor technology to Li muyao. Even Li muyao's take out electric vehicle uses Tesla's technology.

Therefore, this means that Li Mu will have at least three sets of real intelligent man-machine systems available at any time in the future, none of which will be available to Toyota or Volkswagen.

This has laid a very important foundation for Muye automobile. In the future, Li Mu may not be able to catch up with old car groups such as Toyota and Volkswagen at the level of automobile industry. However, he can take the lead in the field of software.
