At the recently concluded Automotive Capital Forum 2020, Tencent, as a pioneer in the field of vehicle connectivity, talked about the integration and connectivity of the Internet of vehicles. Zhong Xuedan, vice president of Tencent Smart Mobility, said that facing the new technology, new architecture and new evolution of the automobile industry, Tencent emphasizes people-oriented, standing in the perspective of users, and truly around users' car travel scene services, which is the most important.
In 2015, it began to try to layout the field of Internet of vehicles. in 2017, AI in Car intelligent vehicle solutions were released, providing specific solutions for automobile enterprises based on interactive intelligence and service scenario intelligence; In 2018, Wutong Automobile joint venture was established with Changan Automobile to focus on system-level overall solution of vehicle networking. This year, we will launch the new TAI3.0 ecological vehicle networking, release the open platform of vehicle connectivity, and create vehicle-mounted light applications covering travel, tourism, life services and other scenarios. It is not difficult to see from Tencent's series of measures in the field of Internet of vehicles, its purpose has been to emphasize intelligent scene and open ecology, committed to the "human-centered" digital upgrade.
Founded in 2018 as one of Tencent's key layouts in the field of Internet of vehicles, Wutong Auto Link focuses on providing system-level overall solutions and customized solutions for the entire automotive industry. Relying on Tencent's key basic capabilities and high-quality Internet resources, Wutong has innate ecological genetic advantages. Since its birth, Wutong has adhered to the principle of connectivity and openness to provide intelligent, networked and data service products and services for the whole industry.
"As early as 2017, Tencent planned to establish a resource integration platform across the Internet and the auto industry, in order to help more auto companies in the heterogeneous hardware platform, to establish more standardized platform capabilities. Based on such a relatively open platform, personalized system design can be built quickly. Tencent Auto Link has opened many low-level capability interfaces and rich ecological resources to 91wutong Auto Link, while 91wutong Auto Link combines these services and ecology to provide more complete end-to-end solutions for auto companies." Zhong Xuedan told Economic Daily. In his opinion, Wutong car couplet is born.
Inheriting the gene of Tencent's open ecology, Wutong Auto Link focuses on completing the deep optimization and capability construction from system and hardware intervention to operating system for auto enterprises, integrating high-quality vehicle resources to create system-level solutions, and realizing the extension of mobile Internet lifestyle to automotive intelligent industry, emphasizing a deeper and heavier business model.
This year, 91wutong launched TINNOVE 3.0 solution, further completing the refinement of driving scenarios and building a more complete service solution for intelligent travel scenarios. Compared with the car intelligent system 2.0 version, TINNOVE 3.0 has better performance and hardware adaptation on the premise of strengthening basic capabilities such as account and data, can cover more scenarios of small programs (including more games), support video and other more rich content types, and further realize the service search from the perspective of user scenarios.
In Zhong Xuedan's opinion, Wutong Auto Association can not only play the role of Tencent and the automobile industry "connector", Tencent ecological resources grafted to the automobile enterprise; It is also a "toolbox" to help the digital transformation of the automobile industry, and helps the automobile enterprises to build their own "super brain" of the Internet of vehicles with system-level solutions.
China's Internet of vehicles industry is in a rapid development stage, driven by the favorable background of policies, industrial chain and the commercialization of 5G new technology. According to the forecast of China Industry Information Network, the global Internet of vehicles market CAGR(compound annual growth rate) from 2018 to 2022 is 22.3%, and the Chinese market CAGR from 2018 to 2022 is about 33.67%, the growth rate of the Chinese market is higher than that of the world. In terms of the development process, the vehicle and machine platform takes the lead in development, extending to the V2X(vehicle to everything) segment scene successively, and cloud services help upgrade the business model. Tencent has always emphasized the purpose of "human-centered" user car scene service, which has also been reflected in the development process of the entire Internet of vehicles industry.
"The future of travel will truly realize the 'human-centered' digitalization, from model definition, production and manufacturing, digital marketing, and car service in the whole process, everything will be driven by human needs. All aspects of autonomous travel and public services will be updated iteratively based on user feedback." Zhong Xuedan said in an interview.
Previously, Ma Huateng has publicly said that the Internet of cars will be Tencent to embrace the industrial Internet one of the important entry point. Tang Daosheng, senior vice president of Tencent and president of Cloud and wisdom industry business group, has also pointed out that with the upgrading of industrial technology, the change of users' consumption concept and consumption pattern, the pattern of the automobile industry will be significantly adjusted. Tencent will actively embrace changes, commit to becoming a "digital assistant" for the transformation of the automobile industry, and work with more partners to build a smart travel ecology.
As the "connector" and "toolbox" between Tencent and the entire automobile industry, Wutong Auto Association will embrace the smart travel revolution and build the smart travel ecology with a more open attitude with industry partners.
