Automobile electronization and intelligence in the history of automobile development

Since 1980s, automobiles have gradually become electronic and intelligent. Emerging electronic technologies have replaced the original simple electro-hydraulic control system of automobiles to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of automobile safety, emission and energy saving. Initially, there were electronic control fuel injection, ignition, emission, anti-lock braking, anti-skid driving force, lighting, fault diagnosis and alarm systems. Since 1990s, there have been many intelligent automatic control systems, such as intelligent engine control, automatic transmission, power steering, electronic stability program, active suspension, seat position, air conditioner, wiper, seat belt, airbag, anti-collision, anti-theft, cruise driving, global satellite positioning and so on. There are also vehicle auxiliary information systems such as car audio-visual digital multimedia entertainment system, wireless network and intelligent transportation.

With the development of automotive electronic technology, automotive intelligent technology is gradually being applied. On March 3, 20 14, Apple announced the launch of Carplay, an in-vehicle system that seamlessly integrates users' iOS devices and iOS experiences with the dashboard system. If the user's car is equipped with CarPlay, they can connect devices such as iPhone and interact with it by using the car's built-in display and control keys, or Siri's faceless function. Users can easily and safely make phone calls, listen to music, send and receive information, use navigation and so on. , once again ignite everyone's enthusiasm for in-vehicle intelligence. If the car electronization is defined as the era of "functional machine", then the car intellectualization will enter the era of "intelligent machine". The Internet of Vehicles, that is, the Internet of Vehicles, will depend on automobile manufacturers, dealers and operators. The electronization and intelligentization of automobiles will realize "man-vehicle" interaction, the networking of automobiles will realize "man-vehicle-network" interaction, and intelligent transportation will realize "man-vehicle-network-road" interaction. It can be predicted that there will be many new systems and achievements in the electronization and intelligentization of automobiles, which will make driving cars safer, more environmentally friendly, more energy-saving, more comfortable and more enjoyable.
