At the Baidu, Inc. AI developer Conference in 2019Baidu, Inc. Apollo released a new and upgraded small car OS.It has made breakthroughs in human-vehicle interaction, vehicle ecology, intelligent scene, security guard and so on. In terms of human-vehicle interaction, the small car OS is newly upgraded to achieve the ability to wake up multiple interactions at a time, direct service and so on. The newly released "intelligent scene" can be based on "people, cars, location, environment, time" five dimensions of in-depth information analysis, to achieve "information to find people".

In the face of the blue sea of autopilot, how can Huawei be absent?

Huawei made its debut as Tier1 at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019, showing supporting solutions such as MDC, Smart + connected, mpower, Huawei Cloud and three types of sensors, demonstrating Huawei's ambition to enter automotive electronics.

AListed companies are involved in autopilot

At present, many cities in China have planned special test roads for autopilot and issued generous policies in an attempt to gather industries and attract investment.

Judging from the situation of the industrial chainDomestic enterprises are advancing in many ways, such as autopilot system, high-precision map, communication module and so on, among which there are many A-share listed companies.
