The automotive industry is entering a period of change based on a new generation of mobile Internet technologies and artificial intelligence. Its focus has changed from the car itself to how to achieve personalized experiences and services. The definitive definition of automobile functions, including the requirements for hardware and software performance driven by this definition, has now reached a point of exaggeration. For a complex electronic product such as a car, the underlying hardware processor plus the operating system is the bearer for all applications. The combination of the two determines the height that the upper application can achieve.
In this context, NXP Semiconductors and Alibaba announced the signing of a strategic cooperation memorandum with AliOS. Both parties will launch full-scale technical and commercial cooperation in the field of intelligent networked vehicles to accelerate the AliOS car operating system and the NXP information and entertainment platform. Solutions are installed and deployed at car manufacturers. A few days ago, at the “Alibaba Cloud Conference • Shenzhen Summitâ€, the two companies also took the theme of “full-vehicle intelligence†to discuss the latest developments in the development of automotive electronics technology from a hardware and software perspective.
What is the new era of car? Why do car operating system?
The theme of the speech of Alios Chief Architect Xie Yan was "Open cooperation, to the full vehicle intelligence."
What is the new era of automobiles? There are two signs: the smart car and travel platform. Both parts will be built on an operating system that provides data and AI capabilities, said Xie Yan.
Why did Aliyun do the car operating system? Ali believes that there are three core competencies to build and not to obtain from the current operating system, as follows:
The first is data. The source and quantity of data on the vehicle in the future will greatly exceed the capabilities of existing operating systems. The on-board operating system as an infrastructure will incorporate a variety of data to provide seamless services.
The second is AI. Future vehicles will use more AI capabilities. AI will become a basic capability and will become hardware. To become hardware, it must have an impact on the operating system, because the operating system is a window for applications and services to use hardware capabilities.
The third is system Security. The operating system loaded on today's vehicles has greatly surpassed the operating systems of traditional vehicles in terms of complexity and lines of code. The emphasis on security in traditional vehicles is functional safety, and the increase in complexity presents a very large challenge to the safety of today's operating systems.
How to build a smart car?
AliOS how to build a smart car? There are two key points. The first is based on the digitalization of the whole vehicle, real-time reproduction and AI capability driving to create a new type of natural communication and driving experience for people and vehicles. The second is to connect vehicles and people, vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and infrastructure, and to realize intelligent travel by sensing the environment and calculating.
AliOS builds smart-based core capabilities at four levels: scenario services, task interoperability, car interconnection, and urban transportation.
The first is a smart service based on scenarios. Ali has full-link identification, supports voiceprint and face recognition, and achieves precise push for thousands of people. It provides a map that can be thought of. Intelligent closed loops are implemented before, during, and after the trip to improve traffic efficiency. , At the same time provide a multi-modal interaction, integration touch, voice, air gestures, hard interaction (physical interaction) and other modes, allowing users to use more convenient.
In addition to the intelligence in the car, it will also open up various tasks between cars, vehicles, and the environment. The opening of various tasks is also the connection point. There are multi-platform Internet travel, where the mobile phone and car navigation complete the team's travel, breaking the boundaries of different devices on different platforms. Let the mobile task be sent to the vehicle, such as a music service, and seamlessly connect with the car in the mobile phone or home. There is also a single-core multi-screen, one-core multi-screen car to simplify the hardware architecture, can achieve or exchange front and rear row driving experience.
Ali believes that home and car should be interconnected, because the car is the most important private space outside the home. After the home and car are interconnected, some chemical reactions occur. First of all, you can control your home and get some information about travel. You can also learn about the family from the inside of the car and get information about the car from home.
Intelligence is also reflected in the relationship between vehicles and urban road traffic infrastructure. The purpose of AliOS is to enhance the safety and efficiency of travel. The first is the analysis of driving behavior. Through analysis of driving behavior, the driver can improve the driving level and make the city more open and safe. In a variety of scenarios, the payment scene can be opened to verify the effectiveness of facial voiceprints and improve travel efficiency. Thirdly, Alibaba Cloud promotes smart cities and establishes relationships between cars, people, cars, and cars, so that travel can get good protection and driving efficiency can be greatly improved.
He believes that an operating system is not an Alibaba family can complete, and needs more partners to do it together. The operating system is an ecological issue, and we need to work with more partners to build a smart car.
The most important partner of the operating system is the chip manufacturer. AliOS also received support from two leading chip manufacturers in the automotive industry, NXP and Intel.
Full-vehicle smart, starting with the next-generation smart cockpit
The conference also invited Liu Fang, director of automotive business of NXP Greater China, to give a speech. "Before the Internet, the focus of the auto industry was on the car itself, that is, how to do four wheels and two sofas. The automotive industry's focus is on car ownership. Its user base is you. When the Internet came out, especially After the advent of the mobile Internet, the automotive industry’s focus has become how to achieve personalized experiences and personalized services.This time, it is not you but you.The competition of the entire industry, also from the original individual car The competition enters into a competition of user relations, and the competition is the depth of a relationship. From a technical perspective, how does the depth of this relationship be reflected? In fact, it is the depth of a combination of software and a system and hardware. The closer the smart phone is, the more closely the system and hardware are integrated, the smoother its experience, the more integrated it is, and the more likely it is to land, the shorter the time for landing and mass production will be." Liu Fang Said at the conference.
She said that the combination of AliOS and NXP is a combination of software and hardware. This combination of experience from the point of view, today we may feel that the hardware limits the imagination of the software. But in the future, hardware may be defined by software and systems.
Why does AliOS choose to cooperate with NXP? NXP is currently the world's leading automotive semiconductor manufacturer. Its current market share ranks first in the world. Especially in such an application field as smart cockpit, NXP is highly recognized in the world and the most host factory in China. For internet companies, it may be the lifeline of a product within a year. At this time, finding partners with the most hardware and user awareness will become the fundamental determinant for large-scale mass production and landing. Therefore, the cooperation between NXP and AliOS is a natural collaboration of No.1+No.1, and the two companies can jointly meet such subversion.
In addition, the essence of a car is to safely transport passengers from one place to another. "Safety" is the most important core point that can not be ignored in the entire automotive industry. Therefore, a partner who truly understands the automobile and has a high degree of recognition in the automotive industry and has long been recognized by history is the basis for a deeper and more extensive cooperation in the smart travel industry. This is NXP’s true value proposition.
Intelligent networked automobile development involves three major blocks
In the media interview after the meeting, Xie Yan revealed to reporters that at present, brands such as Roewe, MG and Datong already have AliOS car. This year, Citroen will also have a new car equipped with AliOS.

Liu Fang said that from the hardware point of view, intelligent network-linked automotive technology involves three major blocks. The first is connection. Cars are not independent individuals, they must be updated online and get services. There are several ways to connect and you need to support different service providers on one hardware platform.
The second is the requirement for experience. In the in-car experience, the biggest requirement is infotainment. How to use a streaming media to enjoy favorite music in a limited space and in a high-speed environment is also a hardware requirement. The more expensive the car is, the more it costs to spend on the sound, including stereo and noise reduction (wind noise, round noise, etc.). When a good audio system is connected to the Internet, it is necessary to ensure seamless switching between selected IP services or streaming media services.
The third is multi-screen. Traditionally, the meter is a screen, entertainment and maps are large screens. The future intelligent network connection may be a 180-degree screen. This requires that the system inside the screen is isolated.
In addition, electronic cockpits and infotainment now have many extensions in the automotive industry. Driver assistance, fatigue detection, and other functions are now counted as smart cockpits. Many electronic cockpits have added assistive driving functions, including alarm and fatigue detection, and later ADAS blind spot detection or radar, which is a combination of the entire system. Therefore, for the central control in the car, technical issues such as redundancy and over-the-air downloading need to be considered.
If you really combine the car with people, besides the assistance, it also involves the fluency of the driving experience. Apple is used very smoothly because of its high efficiency of iOS software. Android is very open, and all hardware vendors can use it, but Android has more patches. Openness must be adapted to more, and it also has the advantages of efficiency and cost.
How to choose the best solution for efficiency is a problem and challenge facing the entire automotive industry. NXP has been standing in support of the needs of the entire plant to define the product. Its early i.MX6 to now i.MX8, both efficient and energy-saving, and safe, this platform can meet the needs of future intelligent networking.
The computing power of automotive electronics demands comparable servers!
NXP China's Microcontroller Marketing Manager believes that looking forward to five to ten years, we found that in the broad field of electronic products, mobile phones are a leader. It leads the trend of the entire technology development. All advanced technologies and fashionable applications are the first to be launched on mobile phones. However, from now on, five to ten years later, there will be a trend of change, and cars will gradually replace the status of mobile phones and become the driving force for new technology development. Many new and fashionable technologies will take the lead in the car. For example, the current multi-system integration technology and the broad AI technology will lead the way in the car. Moreover, the definitive definition of car functions, including the absolute performance requirements of software and hardware driven by this definition, has now reached a point of exaggeration. Its computing power requirements are even closer to the commercial server-level power requirements.
The development of the automobile is driven by the application, taking the application of the depot as a guide and leading the upstream suppliers to adapt to these needs. For a complex electronic product, the underlying hardware processor plus the operating system is the bearer for all applications. The combination of the underlying hardware SoC and operating system determines the height that the upper application can achieve. This is also the significance of the deep integration between NXP and AliOS.
AliOS and NXP cooperation schedule
Finally, for the progress of cooperation between AliOS and NXP, Liu Fang stated:
In the first phase (the public release will be completed by the end of June this year), NXP will release i.MX6, which has been mass-produced and has been widely used for many years. After the product is released, all vendors will get the development tools of AliOS.
In the second phase, which is scheduled to be released at the end of September, NXP will publish a second version for the new i.MX8 series and will perform a special roadshow with AliOS. This road show will be jointly promoted by the major eight major automobile groups in China, and will use the station-to-station approach to jointly promote the i.MX8 platform system solution, and will promote it to the depot through the integrated solution of the Aliga system platform, the Garnigpo Information and Entertainment.
If these two stages are recognized by the entire market, AliOS and NXP will also accelerate the start of the third phase of the project.
