Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Lian Zhijian is the deputy director of the Intelligent Network Center of Nanshan Automobile Group.

During this time, both it and the head of the navigation team, Lan Fahui, were very busy.

After years of development, the strength of the intelligent network center has changed beyond what it used to be.

The most important part of the research and development work related to the integration of Venus Technology's Starlink satellite system and the vehicle-machine system falls in the intelligent network connection center.

Today, Rao Yongxiang personally took Lian Zhijian, Lan Fahui and others to report to Cao Yang about this project.

The Starlink system is already being formally established. Venus 9 has been launched three times, and there will be higher frequency launches soon.

At that time, related satellites will soon be able to start networking.

The research and development of the Starlink vehicle-machine system naturally needs to be carried out as quickly as possible.

"Mr. Zeng, I heard that several car companies such as Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford and Toyota are contacting us about the Starlink vehicle computer system?"

After entering the conference room, before Cao Yang came over, Rao Yongxiang and Zeng Tingting started to communicate.

Both of them are old people from Nanshan Automobile Group and are very familiar with each other.

So even if Cao Yang hasn't arrived at the conference room yet, there will be no silence inside.

"Yes, most car companies have already started to contact us."

"Especially Volkswagen and Toyota. These two car companies had a relatively poor relationship with us before."

"But because of problems with the Starlink vehicle and machine system, their attitude has begun to change."

"It seems that the launches of Venus 9 again and again have brought a lot of pressure to them."

Zeng Tingting is in a very good mood now.

Prior to this, among the Nanshan Group, apart from Nanshan Automobile Group, the turnover of Honor Technology Group was the most anticipated.

After all, it contains popular products such as Honor mobile phones, which are very lethal.

But in the future, Nanshan Auto Parts may have to be separated from Nanshan Automobile Group and compared with various companies.

Because the Starlink vehicle system alone can make Nanshan Auto Parts the largest parts company in the world in terms of turnover.

Of course, this is an ideal situation, and no one knows what it will actually look like in the end.

"I heard that Venus 9 will have a new launch next week, and two launches at sea and on land are specially arranged for that day."

"At that time, it is estimated that the car companies will be even more stimulated."

Rao Yongxiang is also in a good mood now.

He is mainly responsible for the business of Nanshan Automobile Group. Now, both the vehicle business and the parts business are in a booming situation.

In this case, his life is naturally very smooth.

"Yes, it will depend on how your intelligent network connection center implements the Starlink vehicle-machine system."

What Zeng Tingting said is also the main matter reported by the Intelligent Network Center to Cao Yang today.

According to the plan, the Starlink vehicle-machine system is not simply a communication system between cars and satellites. The functions of such parts are too single.

Instead, it will combine intelligent navigation, intelligent driving and other functions together to form a set of parts.

For example, lidar, millimeter-wave radar, various high-pixel cameras, various high-performance sensors, and some control systems, these things together with the vehicle system form a complete set of parts.

Of course, depending on the needs of different car companies, the final functions of this system will definitely be very different.

The most top-of-the-line features can cost as much as 100,000 yuan.

The simpler one may be done for less than 10,000 yuan.

How to plan, how to develop, and how to classify all need to be thought about in advance.

While Zeng Tingting was communicating with Rao Yongxiang, Cao Yang came to the conference room under the leadership of Mi Ying.

This kind of internal reporting does not have too many cumbersome processes.

As the presenters, Lian Zhijian and Lan Fahui started their report with a simple "Mr. Cao, good morning!"

"Currently we are planning to divide the Starlink vehicle system into three major levels, namely standard version, luxury version and flagship version."

"Between each version, the number of radars and cameras that can be selected is also different..."

Lian Zhijian first began to report the overall situation.

Let Cao Yang have an overall impression of the future Starlink vehicle-machine system first, and then report on some specific functions.

"In terms of communications with satellites, we are going to develop a set with Warwick..."

"In terms of radar research..."

"In terms of the core algorithm chip..."

Lian Zhijian reported alone for almost an hour before explaining the general framework content clearly.

Not to mention, Cao Yang is now considered a person who understands technology. Otherwise, just listening to such a report would probably put people to sleep.

After all, what consumers see and feel is still very different from R&D projects.

As the most important part of Nanshan Auto Parts in the future, we must think clearly about all aspects of the problem.

Otherwise, it will be a big problem if something goes wrong by then.

"In terms of navigation, we are based on Amap Navigation and use the Starlink satellite system to conduct high-precision..."

After Lian Zhijian finished speaking, it was Lan Fahui, the head of the navigation team, who came up to explain the development of the navigation in detail.

For most consumers, they definitely need to use navigation when going to an unfamiliar place after getting in the car.

Nowadays, most cars still do not have navigation functions, and everyone habitually uses navigation APPs on smartphones for navigation.

This is certainly not as convenient as navigating directly in the car.

Of course, the premise is that the navigation in the car is easy to use.

Cao Yang also drove a lot of cars in his previous life. To put it bluntly, even in a few years, there will be many people whose car navigation systems are like crap and cannot be used in practice.

Consumers would rather use their mobile phones for navigation than the navigation on their car.

This is undoubtedly a very failed device.

In response to this, the Starlink vehicle-machine system is definitely not allowed to appear.

So Cao Yang had already paid special attention to this content before.

Even the navigation currently used on Xingchen cars has already made efforts in this regard.

Lan Fahui reported for more than half an hour before the report was basically completed.

"According to our progress, can the first-stage Starlink vehicle-machine system fully realize L2 autonomous driving functions?"

The first question raised by Cao Yang was very direct.

Each model of Xingchen Auto already has many assisted driving functions, and to a certain extent, it is already close to L2 level autonomous driving.

But in fact, they are also promoting L2 level autonomous driving, and the L2 level performance of different car companies is completely different.
