Chapter 1256: Squeezing toothpaste will only consume the public's recognition and trust in us

In fact, only Wu Bo and his team were not satisfied, because there was still a gap between their requirements and those proposed by Chen Changliu.

But what they didn't know was that Chen Changliu had set the goal very high, but in fact, he was absolutely satisfied with their current achievements.

Yes, he was satisfied!

Take the car system for example. No car company has ever produced such a car system.

Although it was derived from the function of a mobile phone that was about to be launched, such human-computer interaction has never appeared in a car, not to mention on a mobile phone.

In the original time and space, it should have been until 2011 that rotten apple released such a human-computer interaction function, which can realize voice dialing, sending text messages, querying information, knowledge quizzes, navigation and other functions.

And this time and space has been ahead of rotten apples in every aspect because of its layout many years in advance.

Besides, the automotive-grade wafers and artificial intelligence wafers are actually derived from the research and development of Kirin wafers.

Although the requirements for automotive-grade wafers and artificial intelligence wafers are of course different from those for mobile phone wafers, especially for super-grade wafers, they do not require a high degree of integration.

However, it is stricter than mobile phone chips in terms of high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, and stability.

But some things are passed. Although the focus is different, it is certainly easier for mobile phone chip design manufacturers to make automotive-grade chips.

This Song not only has automotive-grade chips, but also a barely artificial intelligence chip to coordinate with each other, so that it can barely achieve more complex interactions than mobile phone human-computer interaction and the simplest intelligent functions such as automatic parking.

If in the future, these functions can be completed with only separate automotive-grade chips.

Some functions of automotive-grade chips and artificial intelligence chips seem to overlap a bit, but there are still differences.

Automotive-grade chips can complete some intelligent functions and have some capabilities of artificial intelligence chips.

But it is not completely equivalent to artificial intelligence chips, and there is a certain intersection between them.

The definition of automotive-grade chips in the future is a chip that meets the specifications and standards of the automotive industry, and has extremely high requirements for reliability, safety, stability, life, and the ability to adapt to complex environments.

Automotive-grade wafers cover a variety of types, including MCUs (microcontroller units) for engine control, communication wafers responsible for vehicle communication, wafers for audio and video entertainment functions, and wafers that support smart applications such as smart cockpits.

In the field of smart cars, when it comes to smart voice assistants, image recognition (used to identify road signs, pedestrians, vehicles, etc.), automatic parking and other functions in smart cockpits, an automotive-grade wafer can solve the problem.

Artificial intelligence wafers are wafers designed specifically for efficient processing of artificial intelligence tasks, with a focus on calculations and operations, etc.

When the intelligent driving assistance function is turned on, in many cases, automotive-grade wafers require the addition of artificial intelligence wafers to complete it.

But it is different now. The automotive-grade wafer of Zhonghuajia is not enough to achieve the performance of completing these functions.

This is also the helplessness of Zhonghuajia. Before the intelligent driving assistance function was launched, the solution of automotive-grade wafers plus artificial intelligence wafers was already used!

Take the automatic parking function, the most difficult function that Song can complete now, as an example.

The realization of the automatic parking function is a system engineering that requires multiple components to work together.

The core principle is to collect information about the surrounding environment through sensors around the vehicle (such as ultrasonic sensors, millimeter-wave radars, cameras, etc.), and then transmit this data to automotive-grade chips for processing.

If the performance of this automotive-grade chip is strong, it can analyze and calculate the data to build a model of the surrounding environment.

Then plan the parking path according to the preset algorithm, and finally automatically park the vehicle in the parking space by controlling the vehicle's steering, braking, throttle and other systems.

However, the performance of the automotive-grade chip of the flower-growing family is not strong enough, so an artificial intelligence chip is needed to help process a large amount of data from multiple sensors.

The format, frequency, accuracy, etc. of these data are different, and artificial intelligence chips need to pre-process them quickly and accurately.

On the other hand, it is necessary to help the automotive-grade chip run complex algorithms to analyze environmental data and identify the location, shape, size and surrounding obstacles of the parking space.

Then calculate a reasonable parking path based on the current position and posture of the vehicle.

It sounds complicated, but in summary, the performance is not enough, and the quantity is enough.

To be honest, this statement seems not rigorous, because sometimes 1+1 does not equal 2.

It's just that Wu Bo and Liu Yang have the experience of the dual-core Kirin 910, which can handle the balance between the automotive-grade chip and this barely artificial intelligence chip very well, and have the current performance.

As everyone was analyzing there, although Chen Changliu didn't understand the technology, he could understand it.

He tapped his hand on his thigh rhythmically, glanced at everyone, and finally said with a firm look:

"In view of the current instability, I estimate that it will not be possible by the end of the year.

So I decided not to launch 10 models of Qin and Song for the time being, but I hope that these functions must be smooth and stable by the middle of next year to meet my requirements."

Hearing Chen Changliu's words, Chen Yanfeng was shocked and said quickly:

"Boss, if 10 new cars are not launched, it will inevitably cause our sales to decline!

Although apart from these functions, we have made some improvements in some performances, which can still support the launch of new cars. "

Chen Yanfeng's words were nodded in approval by everyone.

Wu Bo also said:

"Boss, the appearance and interior of the 10th model have changed to a certain extent, and the car machine is also enriched to a certain extent. I think it can be launched on the market.

And if it is not launched this year, then coupled with the news of our test in the city today, I am afraid that more people will prefer to wait for the new car, which will definitely have a huge impact on the sales of the automobile industry subsidiary!"

However, Wu Bo's words were not recognized by Chen Changliu.

"I don't want our products to be like squeezing toothpaste all day long. The new products have no new technology to show, but just change the appearance.

Squeezing toothpaste will only consume the public's recognition and trust in us.

If you want to launch new products as soon as possible, then the only way is to find a way to improve stability. "

Hearing Chen Changliu's decisive words, everyone was helpless, and then adjusted their mentality.

Because they would never fail to execute or refute Chen Changliu's final decision.

Wu Bo and Liu Yang looked at each other, and Liu Yang nodded and looked at Chen Changliu and said:

"Boss, the performance of our artificial intelligence chip can be further improved to support this automotive-grade chip to achieve the role of stable operation of all functions of the car system. "
