SnapdragonRide, which provides an extensible solution for automobile manufacturers, which can provide support for self driving vehicles in three sub fields, namely
1, L1 / L2 active safety ADAS -- for vehicles with automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition and lane keeping assistance
2, L2 + ADAS -- for vehicles that can drive automatically on expressways, support self-service parking, and drive in urban traffic with frequent parking
3, L4 / L5 fully automatic driving -- for automatic driving, unmanned taxi and robot logistics in urban traffic environment
snapdragonride platform is based on a series of different snapdragon SOC and accelerators. It adopts scalable and molar high-performance heterogeneous multi-core CPU, energy-efficient AI and computer vision engine, and GPU
among them, adassoc series and accelerator series adopt heterogeneous computing. At the same time, using the new generation of artificial intelligence engine of Qualcomm, ADAS and SOC can efficiently manage a large amount of data of on-board system
thanks to the combination of these different SOC and accelerators, snapdragonride platform can be equipped according to the needs of different segments of autonomous driving market, and provide good heat dissipation efficiency, from 30tops level equipment for L1 / L2 level applications to 130W power consumption equipment for L4 / L5 level driving with more than 700tops
in addition, the new snapdragonride autopilot software stack is a molar and scalable solution integrated into the snapdragonride platform
according to the introction, the software framework of snapdragonride platform can host customer specific software stack components and snapdragonride autopilot software stack components at the same time
snapdragonride platform also supports passive or air-cooled cooling design, so it can further optimize vehicle design and improve reliability while recing cost
now, arm, blackberry QNX, Infineon, Xinsi technology, elektrobit, and Anson semiconctor have joined the auto driving circle of friends of Qualcomm and become the software / hardware suppliers of snapdragonride auto driving platform
the functional security solutions of arm, the automotive designware interface IP, arc processor IP and starmemory SystemTM of Xinsi technology, the OS Security version and hypervisor Security version of BlackBerry QNX, the aurixtm microcontroller of Infineon, and the ADAS series sensors of Anson semiconctor will be integrated into the automatic driving platform of Qualcomm
elektrobit also plans to cooperate with Qualcomm to jointly develop a new generation AUTOSAR architecture that can be proced on a large scale. Ebcorbos software and snapdragonride autopilot platform will be integrated on this architecture
it is understood that snapdragonride will be delivered to automobile manufacturers and first tier suppliers for preliminary development in the first half of 2020, and according to the estimation of qcomm technologies, the vehicles equipped with snapdragonride will be put into proction in 2023
Second, we have been deeply engaged in the automotive business for many years. Before the release of snapdragonride, we have been deeply engaged in the field of intelligent vehicles for many yearsfor more than a decade, Qualcomm technologies, a subsidiary of Qualcomm, has been providing advanced wireless communication solutions for GM's connected vehicle applications, including the security applications supported by the Android devices on GM
in the fields of on-board information processing, information audio-visual and in car Internet, the total value of orders of qcomm technologies has exceeded 7 billion US dollars (about 48.7 billion yuan)
according to the information released by Qualcomm at the ces2020 press conference, so far, more than one million vehicles have used the automotive solutions provided by Qualcomm
it is obvious that today, the layout of Qualcomm in the automotive field has taken another step forward
ring ces2020, in addition to snapdragonride, Qualcomm also launched a new car to cloud service, which is expected to be available in the second half of 2020
according to the introction, the car to cloud service built by Qualcomm technologies supports the soft upgrade capability of softsku chip specifications, which can not only help automobile customers meet the changing needs of consumers, but also enable chipsets to be upgraded in the field to support new functions according to new performance requirements or new features
at the same time, softsku also supports customers to develop common hardware, so as to save their special investment for different development projects. By using the cloud softsku of Qualcomm, automobile manufacturers can not only provide a variety of customized services for consumers, but also create rich and immersive in car experience through personalized features
in addition, the car to cloud service of Qualcomm also supports the global cellular connection function, which can be used to guide the initialization service and provide wireless communication connection throughout the life cycle of the car
According to nakul ggal, senior vice president of proct management of Qualcomm technologies, combined with snapdragon's 4G and 5g platforms and snapdragon's digital cockpit platform, Qualcomm's car to cloud service can help automobile manufacturers and first tier suppliers meet the new expectations of contemporary car owners, including flexible and continuous technology upgrading and continuous exploration of new functions throughout the whole automobile life cyclein addition, Qualcomm technologies also announced on ces2020 that it will continue to deepen its cooperation with general motors. As a long-term partner, GM will support digital cockpit, on-board information processing and ADAS (advanced driving assistance system) through continuous cooperation with Qualcomm technologies
conclusion: Giants raging like a storm in the field of automatic driving, HUAWEI has said before it wants to build intelligent core sensors for automobile, such as lidar and millimeter wave radar. After that, Arm led the establishment of the automatic driving Computing Alliance. Now the mobile chip giant Qualcomm has released a new automatic driving platform, and has made further progress in the field of automobile and automatic driving. <

In the recent "fourteenth five year plan", 5g mobile network and new energy vehicles have been raised to unprecedented heights. Before that, Huawei's car building has been repeatedly mentioned by the media of technology and automobile websites. In fact, even apple has been mentioned to build cars, and the entry points are 5g mobile network and new energy vehicles. The real rise of new energy vehicles is not long. It is as trendy as the mobile network starting from 3G era. What changes will the latest new energy vehicles and Huawei 5g bring to us
it is not difficult to see that the first mass proction model launched by arcfox has strong proct competitiveness among new energy vehicles. Whether the next generation of arcfox will continue to be a new leader in the high-end intelligent new energy vehicle market remains to be seen

It is difficult to sum up the automotive instry in 2019 in one sentence, especially in the Chinese market
At the same time, car companies are trying to find a breakthrough to ensure that they do not fall behind. However, in some aspects, China's automobile market has also made some remarkable achievements. China is still the largest market for new energy vehicles. In terms of the "new four modernizations" of vehicles, the intelligent network is also in the stage of rapid development and change, and many enterprises are beginning to seize the market of intelligent vehiclesno matter new energy vehicles or intelligent connected vehicles, they are still in the early stage of rapid development. If calculated by year, every year changes a lot. Just like the 2017? Like the changes in 2019, geek Park (ID: geek Park) tries to compare several groups of figures between 2018 and 2019, so as to make a simple review of the past year
keep optimistic, but also continue to look for light, I hope the following groups of figures can reflect the real mood of the instry
984000 → 1024000
the sales volume of pure electric vehicles in China in 2018 and 2019 (the years omitted below are 2018 and 2019)
2019 does not make the whole automobile market better. Even the new energy vehicles, which people had high hopes for, have fallen into a situation of stagnant growth, or even retrogression
just in 2019, many auto brands have released pure electric vehicle models one after another, which makes it difficult to not let people believe the potential of this model in the future. From the perspective of pure sales data, it may be the only one among several major types of models that is still growing
according to the data of China Automobile Association, the sales volume of pure electric vehicles in 2018 was 984000, with a year-on-year growth of 50.8%. In view of the fact that the data for the whole year of 2019 has not been released, we can see from the sales data from January to November that the sales volume of pure electric vehicles is 832000. Assuming that the sales volume in December 2019 is equal to that in December 2018, i.e. 192 000 units, the sales volume of pure electric vehicles in 2019 is roughly the same as that in the previous year, with a slight increase Note: 1.024 million is the estimated data)
but from the growth rate, even if the sales volume exceeds 2018, the growth rate drops sharply. This is also the result of many factors
500km → 600km
the maximum range of pure electric vehicles in China
among China's pure electric vehicles on the market in 2018, it seems that we can hardly see the number of mileage more than 500, most of which hover between 400-450km. Qin proev600 may be a rare NEDC model with a driving range of more than 500km at that time. In 2019, the driving range of pure electric vehicles will increase obviously, from an average of 400km to an average of 500km. The driving range of GAC aionlx will even exceed 600km, reaching a higher range
judging from the range of released models, such as Weilai ec6 and Xiaopeng P7, it can be predicted that the range of new cars will be upgraded to 600km in 2020. In the limited battery technology, car companies and suppliers are still seeking breakthroughs bit by bit
24613 vehicles → 57432 vehicles
sales volume of newly built vehicles
with a gamble between he Xiaopeng and Li Bin, the discussion of new car makers in 2018 came to an end. But no one thought that it would be more difficult to meet them in 2019
in terms of the total sales volume, the data will definitely rise sharply. According to the incomplete statistics of geek Park (ID: geek Park), in 2018, the sales volume of new car makers was 24613, of which Weilai contributed nearly half, that is, 11348. According to the current sales volume from January to November 2019, the combined sales volume of several new car manufacturers is 57432 (also incomplete statistics)
however, it is worth noting that compared with 2018, except for the enterprises that only started large-scale sales in 2019, other new car manufacturing forces did not "explode" as we expected. Weilai, which continues to maintain its head position, has only achieved 43.5% of its sales target, even less than half of it. Some enterprises have achieved a lot of sales through small or micro electric vehicles in 2018, and they also encounter a sales crisis in 2019, resulting in a sharp drop in sales. Xinte set a sales target of 40000 units in 2019, while only 962 units were delivered in the first 10 months
there are too many factors leading to low sales, such as procts, capital, marketing... We can see that the power of new cars has not taken off as optimists imagine, nor has it been mbfounded. The only thing they can do now is to follow the law of the auto instry and keep growing
(Note: 57432 is the sales volume from January to November in 2019.)
0? Vehicles → 15 vehicles
domestic Tesla delivery quantity
before 2020, domestic Tesla has finally started to "deliver" - not to the public, but to internal employees. Tesla's indissoluble bond with the Chinese market has also been officially launched
However, behind these 15 domestic teslas is the amazing "China speed". You know, in 2018, domestic Tesla is just a verbal promise, and the factory is still a wasteland. In 358 days alone, Tesla is ready to start large-scale delivery in China, which is hard to imagine even on a global scale
on the GTC2019 recently, NVIDIA has launched a new "nuclear bomb", the new automatic driving system chip Orin, single chip computing power up to 200TOPS, become a new "core" emperor. In the wave after wave of computing power competition, a higher level of automatic driving is also being prepared, and a complete ecosystem is about to emerge
0 → 1
in the international market, 2019 is the first year for many auto companies
for the first time in a century, the foundation of automobile instry began to shake. For traditional car companies, how to transform has become a top priority. Although new energy only accounts for a small proportion in the automotive instry, it has huge potential, which no one dares to ignore. So, after a period of wait-and-see and R & D, the first electric vehicle of traditional car companies came
If Audi e-tron and Jaguar I-space are the first to take the lead, then in 2019, no matter they have made their debut in new models or issued a notice, traditional car companies have already started the pure electric journey. Ford Mustang mach-e, Porsche taycan and Mercedes Benz EQC are all new entrants, and VW id.3, Ford electric pickup F150 and so on, which also include a new platform, will be launched in the near future, which is enough to let us see the determination of auto companies to build a zero carbon society and turn to pure electric technology. What is more worth looking forward to is that the above models have opened up or will soon open up in China. When they are absorbed by the Chinese market, it will be a different landscape
from 0 to 1 is also the line that pure electric vehicles hope to break through. In 2019, the growth, stagnation and retrogression of the automobile market have been fully presented. We believe that the past year will bring success or failure experience and thinking, and eventually turn into a ladder of instry progress

5g will become the most frequently used word in 2020. In the past year, 45 telecom operators around the world have begun to deploy 5g. Obviously, 5g will change our lives at a speed far faster than 4G. As the world's largest mobile phone chip supplier, at this CES, Qualcomm also showed its overall layout of 5g era for the first time, initially completing the comprehensive coverage of mobile phones, computers, cars and cloud
different from the previous press conference in which mobile phone business occupied the C position, the biggest space of this CES press conference of Qualcomm was about the automobile business. For the first time, the automotive field has become the focus of Qualcomm's layout. In addition to the Internet of vehicles business that has been laid out before, this time, Qualcomm has also extended its tentacles to automatic driving
automatic driving platform with more flexibility and lower power consumption at the press conference of Qualcomm on the eve of CES, Qualcomm officially launched the new snapdragonride platform, officially listed various problems encountered in current automatic driving, and said that its own platform is one of the most advanced and scalable open automatic driving solutions in the automotive instry. This kind of scene is like, one day, a former mobile phone chip maker suddenly stood in front of a pile of car Tier1 and sighed: "there is no one who can take a taxi. I have to come to the automatic driving solution."
with the development of 5g and artificial intelligence technology, more and more technology companies have joined the automotive instry, using the advantages of chips and software to enable intelligent vehicles and accelerate the intelligent and networking process of vehicles. Perhaps, owning a more intelligent and convenient car will come true earlier than we think
