The power of Google Maps has been eye-catching, and the auto-driving cars that run farther and farther are making the auto companies feel chilly. Another big Apple in the IT industry is also eager to try in the automotive industry. It is no wonder that Toyota, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other automotive companies have joined the "Car Defending War".

Car-skilled technology to achieve a high degree of auto-driving The mainstream luxury car companies represented by BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz have already surpassed the power aspect in terms of vehicle technology. If the three car companies have used automatic braking and a highly automatic cruise system, BMW has recently upgraded its driver assistance system to a new vehicle that will be listed in the future – it is only a step away from unmanned driving.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class 10th-generation model was launched in 2013 and is known as the closest to autonomous driving; the Mercedes-Benz E-Class will soon follow the S-level and provide automatic control; Audi will bring the driverless RS7 to the race. Road. BMW will not admit defeat. At the end of July, BMW held “Innovation Day†in Shanghai to showcase innovative ideas and technologies, and launched a new brand with innovative spirit as the core of “Yue to create miracles†and announced “BMW Connected Driving Online Storeâ€. Opened a dedicated website, integrated with the previously enabled car and mobile phone ports, and laid out a new era of mobile Internet digital services. On the “Innovation Dayâ€, BMW demonstrated the “one-button automatic parking†and “full speed lane tracking driving assistance system†that will be introduced with the new generation of the flagship 7 series. These two innovative technologies can help the driver to completely liberate. "Hands and feet" for a high degree of automatic driving.
BMW technicians say that this technology is only one step away from achieving full autopilot. “The biggest problem at present is complicated road conditions, such as vehicles that suddenly cut into the line of change, people who enter the crowd, which requires the vehicle to have a brake response in time and adjust the driving route.â€
Compared with Google, which is completely an Internet company running in the direction of driverless cars, BMW technicians said that BMW is more focused on the development of driver assistance systems, not exactly the role of cars instead of drivers. To put it simply, Google hopes that in the future, vehicles and computers can be used to replace people and completely liberate people. BMW hopes that the technology of highly automated driving assistance systems will help car owners find convenient and smooth driving routes in cities with traffic jams. It does not take away the driver’s control over the car.
The first technology of the full speed lane tracking driver assistance system is disclosed for the first time. The tested vehicles can be driven automatically in the range of 0-210 km/h, following the preceding or tracking lanes. This system incorporates the adaptive cruise system with start-stop function and the functions of “front cross traffic warning†and “traffic congestion assistanceâ€. The driver only needs to support the steering wheel to drive freely, and the vehicle can automatically keep with the front and A reasonable distance between the vehicles on both sides to control the speed of the vehicle. Not only the liberation of the feet but also the hands. However, this technology does not achieve full autopilot. When the vehicle is turning at a low speed, the driver needs to adjust the steering wheel slightly to achieve a successful turn or enter the parking lot.
ABB aims to acquire Nokia's 2.8 billion euros to acquire Here map. Senior researcher Bai Kai of Baidu Deep Learning Lab told reporters: "Automobile intelligent interconnection and automatic driving will also become a new business block of Baidu, and will become the main research and development direction in the future. He said that the biggest problem that restricts auto-driving is the map problem of the car. This problem is being solved very well. It is reported that Baidu has the highest level of national surveying and mapping level - 10 cm, which means that car companies can obtain more abundant Chinese road information, so that vehicles can get more real feedback on the road conditions.
Germany's three luxury car brand giants - Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi also realized the importance of maps early. On August 3, Finland's Nokia announced that it has signed an agreement with AUDI AG (Audi), BMW Group (BMW), Daimler AG (Mercedes-Benz parent company) to transfer the digital map business Here, the German luxury three giants will share the equity of Here map.
The German luxury car giant has spent so much on the acquisition of the map business mainly because Google is too strong in the field of driverless technology, which threatens the traditional car companies. Maps are the most important part of a driverless car. Without a highly accurate map, unmanned vehicles will not be able to determine the destination and naturally will not be able to get into operation. It is reported that Google not only uses satellite and aerial imaging technology, but also learns to improve the algorithm by computer and machine learning, and at the same time invests in manual correction of map data, and Google is still studying to further improve the accuracy of the map. The indoor map is expected to be accurate to within 25 cm. Such powerful map data, plus Google’s unmanned vehicle road test itinerary has accumulated more than 1 million miles (about 1.6 million kilometers), although Google has a short board in the automotive industry, but than any car manufacturer Technology must be more advanced. It is reported that Nokia Maps is a mobile phone map comparable to Google Maps. In the car navigation market, Nokia Maps accounts for more than 80% of the market. Germany's three major automakers chose to form an alliance with Here, hoping to have a relatively independent voice in the field of driverless technology.
Abandoning Apple Android Toyota and Telenav to develop an in-vehicle system Since Android and Apple have developed in-vehicle intelligence systems, almost all auto companies have chosen these two systems – either alone or in combination. There is. However, Toyota has taken a different approach and chose an Internet company that sounds "unknown". Recently, Toyota announced that it will use Telenav's application Scout GPS Link for car navigation and mobile phone connection. The company's headquarters is located in Sunnyvale, California, where Silicon Valley is located. It is reported that Toyota's new small truck Tacoma will be the first to be equipped with Scout GPS Link in 2016.
According to reports, although the vast majority of mobile phone users are using Android or Apple systems, Scout GPS Link can be compatible, users can use the system to get their own road traffic information and navigation routes, information can be through the smart phone Obtained or directly transferred to the Toyota dashboard, the system configuration also gives Toyota more control. Like Google and Apple, Telenov also provides tools for integrating smartphones and in-vehicle platforms in services such as digital maps, phone calls, and music playback. Product performance is not weaker than Google and Apple.
Niall Berkery, director of business development at Telenav, said: "This application not only solves Toyota's control problems, but also does not interfere with the driver during driving, ensuring the safety of driving, and the safety is very Toyota. Nowadays, many drivers use the navigation service of mobile phones, but they often pull out their mobile phones to input information for operation during driving, which adds a lot of security risks to the car."
Toyota has been hesitant about Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto technology, but the company believes that it does not intend to use these two relatively open systems for the protection of customer data and safe driving.
Of course, from a security point of view, the more closed, of course, the easier it is to avoid the "intrusion" of hackers. However, for consumers, re-learning a system operation is a hassle. How to design the operating system to be more concise and easy to learn will be a major challenge for Toyota.
