2014-new trend of China’s auto intelligent hardware provider list
The advent of the Internet era, and the huge change in our lives. Internet in every aspect of our lives who occupies an important position, and from the popularity of smart phones to intelligent diversification of household items, hand rings, watches, smart glass intelligent hardware such as the emergence of Internet invasion day does not provide convenience to our lives. Now, cars have become inextricably linked to the Internet by another body.
Smart car concept appeared in the rise of the Internet was just moments earlier, but due to limitations of both Internet technology and auto manufacturing technology, such as talking thinking in the Knight Rider be able to drive the smart car can only appear in the people’s imagination. Development of Internet technologies today, however, smart cars is not just a concept, emergence of a large number of intelligent vehicle hardware, is step by step driving the cars headed toward the intelligent, Internet. This list of lists on the Internet today can be an ordinary car with Internet-connected smart hardware, these products have unique ideas and leads the development trend of smart cars, as well as Internet company entered the automobile market in the clear direction in the future.

Smart OBD hardware
OBD is the English abbreviation for On-Board Diagnostic, Chinese translation for “on-board diagnostic system”. Networking hardware is different from other cars, OBD focuses on the analysis of data on the vehicle itself. Since in the 1980 of the 20th century, the United States, Japan, Europe, and other major auto makers began its production of EFI vehicles equipped with OBD, OBD not self-checking in the early. OBD-more advanced than OBD ⅱ in the mid 1990 of the 20th century, and what we today call the OBD was OBD-II. OBD-II can reads engine speed, and temperature, and speed, and driving mileage, and oil volume, and hydraulic, and intake temperature, and throttle door opened degrees, and accelerated pedal location, and started Shi long, and brake tablets temperature, and Turbo Booster device temperature, and power battery remaining power etc series information, makes user in lane process in the full master vehicles full of situation, to made driving adjustment, also for car overhaul personnel provides important of data reference. OBD in the 16-pin the old interface, at present, all sales of the vehicles have been equipped with OBD interface. It was born in the 80 ‘s of last century diagnostic technologies, has become a “connectivity” and “smart car” these two concepts represent hardware.
Since OBD class hardware has been close to the Red Sea project, a number of Chinese and foreign Internet companies have realized the importance of OBD field and has visited the OBD hardware development and manufacturing. At present, domestic OBD products up to thousands, uneven quality and performance, and this list is the list of OBD, focusing on “innovation” two words, products with unique technical advantages and performance characteristics. Tencent, the Internet’s leading domestic, in 2014, released its first product, OBD hardware “Tencent Lu Bao”, can provide users with drove benchmark, fuel consumption evaluation, congestion control, traffic accidents, law enforcement, fuel-efficient route, intelligent route planning, recommending a full range of travel services, free voice-guided navigation. Meanwhile, by dint of Tencent in Smartphone development in the areas of technology, these services are available through a user’s Smartphone APP to query and manipulate. Such smart phones as terminals of smart OBD device through the one-way transmission of a vehicle’s original data, analyze the recorded data via a hardware terminal to reach the figures appeared on the Smartphone.
Although OBD can will some lane of basic information provides to user, but in making OBD hardware of initially, manufacturers and designer seems to and no considered to user whether really of needs these information, and now market Shang of smart OBD hardware mostly are and Tencent Jaguar automobile factory been bought as, only provides some most basic of lane and vehicles information to user, and user really of needs these information to limit or adjustment user of driving way did? Although we don’t know the answer, but we believe that smart OBD can do much more than that. Recently released a smart OBD, “golo4”, the OBD function on the basis of the increase in the original in-car WIFI function, built-in SIM card slot, free SIM cards homemade WIFI hot spot, and SIM card users can independently replaced. Although this OBD not major breakthroughs in functionality, but have also been able to make more users, entrepreneurs saw OBD more intelligent future. User seem even more attractive is an app called “A-cube” of OBD, its biggest feature is you can realize remote control for vehicles without any distance restrictions, such as: air conditioning pre-kai, smart unlock, intelligent vehicles and so on. Reverse control this via the OBD interface will probably become auto hardware users vehicles real pain points, is also in line with the development of telematics at the same time, it also will be the future direction of OBD.
Indeed, OBD for the future development of telematics has a certain role in promoting, OBD will also become part of the smart car and the car of the future Internet, OBD class hardware are fundamentally still has its limitations.
First of all, hardware based OBD class read original data is through vehicle 16-pin port, while some can read only data you need to solve. This clearly adversarial relationship with the automakers. Auto makers did not want their own bus to break, which will be difficult to get a car manufacturer’s support OBD. Not only that, but due to the high-end cars in higher and higher degree of intelligence, a lot of them have OBD will be required to gain access to the data available to users through CFW, if Volvo Sensus Connect system, or through remote mobile APP startup. Companies had a total initiative in this regard, many high-end manufacturers simply cancelled the OBD port. OBD hardware developed on a brand like Ivoka it is rare. In this case, the function if the OBD hardware and access is not on the improvement and innovation, will be harder to gain greater market share.
Second, although under the direction of Government policy in China, be forced to install OBD port, and as far as the law, there are no special features make to the OBD interface restrictions. In other words, now to install OBD access to vehicle data by itself does not give rise to legal disputes. But if the vehicle is OBD hardware reverse control will bring security risks from a technical perspective, which also attracted the attention of vehicle Management Department, and refitted in order to accomplish the reverse control vehicle vehicle lines, also will be in breach of the relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, government policies for OBD future innovations will also be the toughest hurdle.
Third, the OBD on the market today in terms of hardware, its ultimate realization through Smartphone features such as data extraction from this end to be achieved. In other words, the OBD terminal as the basis of such hardware did not really belong to him. Which carmakers would provide data to users vehicles comes with hardware controlled directly by car waiting for display to the user. Lack of own terminals, this is OBD in the technical development of the current bottlenecks.
No matter how the prospect of OBD, which contributed to the popularity of the smart car concept is obvious. OBD hardware to provide telematics and car intelligence in one entry, OBD, more in-vehicle technologies will also be accepted and popular with OBD and can also force manufacturers in the car’s efforts to make more intelligent. And eventually enjoy Internet Smart cars will be all car users.
Derived from the intelligent vehicle systems
Although this list is based on statistics and intelligent hardware, but faced with the new trend of the three characters, intelligent systems, a software cannot be overlooked, as the future of telematics and smart cars to be achieved, a sound and stable, with good user experience of vehicle intelligent system software is the Foundation of all.
Vehicle-mounted system is definitely a pain point for owners, this pain point is not required for intelligent hardware created by engineers, but already exists. Rear loader market confusion, the lack of uniform standards, user experience has been very poor. Today, the intelligent car systems are generally carried by the vehicle itself, Terminal, known as front loading machine. Can be achieved with the intelligent system navigation, safety, vehicles, vehicle service and other business-related life. This system based on the premise of safety, maximum use to enhance the user’s experience. Navigation in addition to your regular road conditions, news broadcasts, roadside assistance and other services, can also provide dynamic parking space search, such as flight bookings, social networking applications, email, conference call, start, special services. Internationally renowned car manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, GM has launched independent research and development of intelligent system for its latest production of next-generation products. Some of these intelligent systems, users can control vehicle display direct manipulation, navigation, entertainment, calls a series of actions, there are some systems, such as BMW‘s iDrive system, users can also be achieved through a Smartphone APP application in-car system operates on some of the usual network functions, such as BMW, Baidu, SINA weibo, music and so on. Vehicle intelligent system based on the powerful features we don’t have traditional intelligence hardware such as navigation systems, vehicle traveling data recorder contained within the list, we are confident that in the future, smart cars with full intelligent system will cover all traditional intelligent hardware.
Although most intelligent systems are manufactured by motor vehicles, based on its own products alone to complete, so that they can make intelligent system to fit their product better. But interested in development towards connectivity Internet companies also have fought the idea of intelligent vehicle systems, and have to put them into practice.
In 2013, Apple announced a March to the automotive sector, announced its “iOS in the Car” project, in 2014, Apple officially released was renamed CarPlay in-vehicle systems. That same year March, Apple released has iOS 7.1 official version, is following iOS 7 official released Hou of first major version update, which a big highlights is support links smart car system CarPlay, as long as will user of iPhone connection to enabled has CarPlay of car, can support “phone”, and “music”, and “map”, and “information” and third party audio application, and can through Siri, car touch screen for control, for Carplay provides has operating system of support. From Apple’s moves to other companies in the field of science and technology has released a very strong signal, which compete for the market for intelligent vehicle systems. Coincidentally, Apple’s biggest competitor, Google, also launched in June 2014, Android Auto designed specially for cars. Android Auto aims to replace the native in-car system with auto manufacturers to carry Android applications and services and access the content of and access to Android phones. And, based on its Google maps and Google Play to build a better in-car navigation and entertainment experience for users.
Apple and Google, two companies entered the market for intelligent car systems and at the same time, it also marked the automobile industry competition in Internet development or smart car has really kicked off the war. Also, from this we can see that, in-vehicle system development was no longer a vehicle manufacturer’s unique technology, intelligent system development for third-party companies, compared to the traditional automobile manufacturers developed systems have unique advantages. First, the third-party smart system to system matching based on models, Carplay adapter number of mainstream models of the Western and the Japanese and Korean manufacturers, while the traditional automobile manufacturers system matching based on own-brand cars. Second, like Apple and Google such of can independent development smart system of third party developers has more of development resources and more perfect of smart ecological circle, Apple and Google in smart terminal field of system development aspects has large of resources and experience, around with Appstore and Apple ID established of Apple ecological circle, around Gmail and Google Play established of Google ecological system are can transplant to car system in the, In the users get the same experience with the smart terminal. Third, already widely used in other third party intelligent systems intelligent Terminal has a wide user base, IOS and Android both systems that swept most of the intelligent Terminal system, with over 1 billion record audience, this was not some car manufacturers may ratio. Stated on the end, involvement of third-party developer of intelligent vehicle systems, will also force auto makers for telematics and smart cars to build and make the necessary changes.
Telematics hardware pain points
In addition to intelligent vehicle and OBD systems, there are some intelligent hardware promotes the development of telematics and smart cars.
Cars do a shift-key features of transport, the car manufacturer’s original intention was to satisfy the basic needs and drivers for vehicle driving experience –. Intelligent hardware and produces the same should follow the real needs of users, known as trigger point. After a foray into the automotive industry on the Internet, some Internet companies are starting to use the Internet thinking makes telematics and smart car concept, dig users other than basic driving needs and meet these pain points. In terms of driving, with the adaptive cruise control system (ACC) and lane keeping assistance system (LKS) as well as automatic driving assistance systems (ADAS) intelligent technology, such as increased Automotive has achieved what is called intelligent. In Internet mode, traditional navigation, driving recorder, even in-car entertainment hardware cannot be telematics hardware. Intelligent vehicle traveling data recorder, multi-function rear view mirror, intelligent collision avoidance systems, and more recently at home big hot car air purifier and is the leading developer of Internet company into the automotive industry today. In-vehicle intelligent vehicle traveling data recorder is the most common hardware, vehicle traveling data recorder capabilities on the market today and experience are the same, and cloud storage, image recognition, image post-processing, such as higher levels of Internet technology is still on the vehicle traveling data recorder failed to spread, these intelligent improvements will also become a destination of Internet technology. Another intelligent hardware with distinct regional characteristics – car air purifier. In the context of domestic air pollution, no matter what kind of air purification equipment has been pushed on the needs of the front line. Similarly, in-car air quality impacts on health are increasingly valued by Chinese people, car air purifier becoming car owners one of the must-have car kit hardware. From the earliest active carbon Purifier, developed to the remotely-controlled electronic air purifiers, the Internet can be seen in the value of this device. Other smart security hardware such as forward collision warning devices, intelligent collision avoidance systems such as true pain points in the driver’s daily driving has not attracted the attention of Internet companies. These telematics hardware is a hardware engineer in the eyes of so-called pain points. These more practical, and more able to solve the problem, probably will become true pain points in the eyes of the user.
Concluding remarks:
Both OBD hardware change and innovation and in the development and application of intelligent vehicle systems, telematics hardware innovation is ultimately want users to be able to have a better experience while driving an automobile. This list is the list of products, designed for cars combed the Internet and the development of intelligent cars, this one still has some unfinished products or systems, but they can also lead the trend of the intelligent car industry as a whole.
Recently, Huawei, Alibaba and other well-known Internet companies into the auto industry, hoping to take advantage of their technical advantage in the Internet and vehicle manufacturers cooperate to create smart cars with Internet gene. And millet and Le would have more aggressive, the two almost simultaneously announced plans to build its own branded Smart cars. This suggests that domestic Internet companies has not content with hardware and services to create the intelligent vehicle systems, but has basically realized, telematics and smart cars will be the future trend
But the fundamental, the primary function of the car is driving, and primary objective is to track movement, any remaining equipment and systems are around these two main points, to find users ‘ pain points. We believe that telematics and smart cars are not changing the car’s function and purpose, but operate the car’s body, some day in the future, this subject-a man, will eventually be replaced by intelligent vehicle systems. As the article mentioned in the beginning of the smart car in Knight Rider, may very well not far from us.
