When urban roads are not closed, L3/L4 self-driving competition vehicles mix with normal traffic, which comprehensively tests the comprehensive ability of participating vehicles to handle emergencies; in addition to voice control, vehicle-related software can also be controlled with the movement of fingers; The newly developed power battery is safer and has greater energy density... Entering the exhibition hall of the 2023 China International Intelligent Industry Expo, a series of new technologies and new products about intelligent networked new energy vehicles made the audience feel like they had entered the future automobile world.
The development of new energy vehicles is the only way for my country to move from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country. From September 4th to 6th, the 2023 Smart Expo focusing on annual themes such as "Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicles" was held in Chongqing. During the period, professional conferences, exhibitions, seminars, and competitions became the basis for observing new trends and trends in the new energy vehicle industry. important window. A reporter from Xinhua News Agency interviewed this Smart Expo and learned that smart networking, smart driving, and smart manufacturing make driving more fun and travel smarter, and are leading profound changes in the automobile industry.
The development of new technologies such as the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence has made vehicle-vehicle interaction possible. "Cars are evolving from vehicles to 'smart car robots'," said Wang Yongliang, deputy general manager of Chongqing Wutong Autolink Technology Co., Ltd. As a joint venture between Tencent and Changan Automobile, Wutong Autolink is committed to providing intelligent vehicle interactive system solutions. Like Tencent, many leading Internet companies such as Huawei and Baidu have cooperated with car companies in recent years to lay out the new energy vehicle market, which has effectively promoted the intelligence of cars.
At this year's Smart Expo, a number of new energy vehicles equipped with Huawei's Hongmeng smart cockpit attracted many viewers to stop and experience it; iFlytek demonstrated the "Flying Vehicle Intelligent Audio Management System" to give cars better sound effects... "Software-defined cars" has become a consensus in the industry, and intelligent networking makes cars more "smart" and "understands you".
Energy storage and replenishment are the focus and pain point of the development of new energy vehicles. At this Smart Expo, more reliable batteries, faster charging, and new smarter power usage technologies are gradually eliminating range anxiety. Smart energy storage can make "charging as fast as refueling" no longer a distant dream.
"Semi-solid lithium batteries have less liquid electrolyte content and are safer, smaller, faster charging, and have higher energy density." said Ma Xin, the person in charge of Chongqing Tailan New Energy Co., Ltd., which exhibited its newly developed semi-solid power battery at the exhibition. At this Smart Expo, many power battery exhibitors stated that they are accelerating the research and development of semi-solid and solid-state batteries, and some companies have brought "a new generation of fully liquid-cooled supercharging, one kilometer per second" and "0-80% in only 7.5 minutes" "Extremely fast charging" and other technologies have attracted the attention of the industry.
How to balance the electricity demand of new energy vehicles and other industries? State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company demonstrated technological achievements such as "Super Optical Storage and Charging Integration" and "Charging Infrastructure Monitoring Platform" at this Smart Expo, using big data to serve power peak shaving and valley filling, intelligent management of charging facilities, etc., to help Coordinated development of new energy vehicles and power systems.
With "smart cars", there must also be "smart roads". Vehicle-road coordination allows autonomous driving to be iteratively upgraded. On the smart transportation sand table in Chongqing Liangjiang New Area at the Smart Expo, various car models shuttled back and forth in a smooth and orderly manner, vividly demonstrating vehicle-road collaboration application scenarios to the audience. As a national pioneer area for the Internet of Vehicles, Chongqing Liangjiang New Area has vigorously built vehicle-road collaborative roads. Currently, there are 11 self-driving buses with a cumulative operating mileage of 97,000 kilometers.

At the "50-person Forum on Vehicle-Road-Cloud Integration Innovation and Development" at this Smart Expo, many industry experts believed that the overall development of China's vehicle-road collaboration and vehicle-road cloud will promote the commercialization of high-level autonomous driving and the construction of smart cities.
Colors are limited, every car is the same, and personalized configurations require modification by yourself... The mass production of traditional cars cannot meet consumers' "private customization" needs.
"In the past, the car purchase process was that consumers first went to the 4S store to place an order, and then the 4S store contacted the superior dealer or the car company to pick up the car. Now consumers can directly place an order on our platform, choose the configuration and color they need, and the order will be synchronized to Automobile factory, to achieve personalized customization." In the China Unicom exhibition area, the relevant person in charge pointed to the 5G industrial control platform jointly developed with a certain car company and said that this model can promote car companies from "production based on sales" to "sales based on sales". The transformation of "fixed production" allows consumers to directly connect with manufacturers, and even partially participate in product design and manufacturing.
Industrial Internet platforms, welding robots, unmanned intelligent trucks, intelligent warehousing and logistics platforms... Many automobile supporting companies have demonstrated advanced intelligent manufacturing technologies at the Wisdom Expo, which not only greatly improved the quality of vehicle craftsmanship, but also drove the development of the manufacturing industry. and equipment transformation and upgrading.
Electrification, intelligence, digitalization... It is not difficult to see from the 2023 Smart Expo that intelligent and connected new energy vehicles will continue to "overcome barriers" on the road of innovation, injecting strong momentum into my country's progress towards becoming an automobile power.
