In recent days, the news from CES has dominated the headlines of various automotive media. From the traditional Consumer Electronics Show (the full name of CES) to half an auto show, behind the changes in CES is a "revolution" that is taking place in the automotive industry in the Internet era.
In recent years, with the rise and popularity of the Internet of vehicles and the Internet of Things, Internet cars, new energy vehicles and autonomous driving have begun to develop rapidly. "Internet car" is gradually moving from a propaganda concept to a product category. Whether it is Toyota's announcement that it will transform from a manufacturer to a service provider, or the 50-inch LCD giant screen in the Byton concept car, it is conveying the concept that the car is no longer a simple tool, but gradually becoming a travel platform that provides online mobility services.
In-vehicle navigation systems will become the core to support the transformation of cars into service platforms
As a service platform, what is the core need that the car can meet? Traveling. Because of this, location-based navigation services have become the core of supporting the transformation of cars into service platforms.
With the realization of the Internet of vehicles, the online vehicle navigation system has completed the upgrade from "path navigation" to "road condition navigation", and can also be deeply integrated with the vehicle system, more in line with the driving scene, such as the domestic leading digital map content, navigation and location service provider Autonavi launched the Autonavi map vehicle version. Focusing on navigation, the core of car travel services, based on Internet vehicle navigation, to provide owners with online navigation, accurate real-time road conditions and a series of Internet solutions, so that car navigation is better than mobile phone navigation, and has regained the favor of owners.
On the basis of solving the travel demand, based on location information, the car will be able to play a greater service function. The Toyota concept car envisages a mobile service vehicle that integrates logistics, commuting and sales, which is such a realistic imagination. And the 50-inch large screen carried in the Byton Concept is bound to make the on-board system have more service possibilities.
Promote the high accuracy of map data to provide key services for automated driving
Autonomous driving is essentially navigation, but the object of navigation has changed from a car to a person. At CES, around 2019 has become a key time node for the mass production of autonomous driving. However, how to meet the requirements of accurate positioning and route planning in an all-weather environment is still a major challenge restricting the development of autonomous driving technology.
In this context, high-precision maps have received a lot of attention as one of the key elements in addressing this challenge. In fact, as early as a few years ago, Amap won the first high-precision map commercial order in Asia.
In the future, high-precision map data will support the development of automatic driving, and automatic driving will generate new data, which will be updated and more accurate after scientific and automated processing, and more data that can be used and learned by machine computers, and eventually form a closed-loop production of high-precision map data. Taking Autonavi as an example, through the formation of social vehicles and positions, it can not only provide high-precision lane level information and other rich automatic driving map elements, but also provide professional positioning layers, real-time map services and feedback closed-loop, thus becoming a "living map" to provide a series of key services for automated driving.
A new era is coming. The systematic Internet capability based on location information has gradually become the key to the next competition in the automotive industry. With the deepening integration of Internet technology and automotive technology, in-vehicle services with navigation as the core will bring more and more convenient functions and experiences to drivers and passengers, and will also lead the continuous development of car networking technology.
