This rapid evolution in the auto industry including the need for development and manufacturing of chips, the establishment of automotive computing infrastructures, and the development of controllable operating system.
Chip Challenge
The development and manufacturing of chips is crucial for intelligent driving and smart cabin, especially the high-computing power chips. In addition, the establishment of localized supply chain for the manufacturing of large amount of chips for function and sensors are needed, as well.
Now, the products from Chinese chip suppliers are widely used in various models from main carmakers like BYD, SAIC Motor, Great Wall Motor, Dongfeng and Geely. NEV startups, such as Li Auto, NIO and Xpeng has been working on their in-house developed chips.
Automotive Computing Infrastructures
AI technology needs massive data processing and computing capacities. Data shows, in the field of end-to-end intelligent driving, the start computing power in 1 EFLOPS, while the average investment in computing power by Chinese carmakers is 3 EFLOPS. Thus, to build a large scale of computing team and facilities are crucial for carmakers.
Controllable Operating System
The necessity of developing their own operating systems and reducing dependence on external suppliers are recognized by most of the carmakers, to prevent terminal incidents.
