Chapter 1738 (2/2)
The sixth is the keyhole navigation to be purchased. Li Mu is confident to build it into the best vehicle navigation system in the world, or even the best civil navigation system in the world;Seventh, it should be LCD screen and LCD dashboard. Now there is no car manufacturer studying this set of things. Almost all cars on the market use the traditional mechanical dashboard. They need to find a company to study the direction of LCD dashboard as soon as possible, or simply invest in a company or set up a department to carry out this research.
Li Mu, who was born in the Internet, can easily figure out the elements behind a set of electronic products, such as the LCD dashboard. He doesn't need to think about it. There is no difference between an assembly and a computer or an iPad, which requires two sets of hardware and a set of software.
The two sets of hardware are respectively:
1. Data processing hardware, such as motherboard, CPU, power supply, various capacitors and chips, just like the host computer of a computer, which can design its own circuit, purchase the original globally, or even directly OEM the electronic generation factory, which is no different from Millet's production of mobile phones;
2. Display hardware, just like computer display, LCD Of course, the dial also needs a set of its own LCD, which can be customized directly with reliable LCD manufacturers;
these two sets of hardware are not difficult to realize. On the whole, the difficulty of producing LCD dashboard hardware is no different from that of producing an mp4.
However, the real problem of LCD instrument panel in hardware is that the product stability is very high.
Unlike ordinary electronic products, automobile products have a huge after-sales cost because they are related to the personal safety of consumers. For example, if an original has defects, all of them must be recalled for free repair and replacement. These costs need to be borne by the manufacturer.
If a car brand's quality control is too poor, just endless recalls can drag it into the abyss of death.
Therefore, once the LCD instrument panel is designed and applied to the car, it must be highly reliable. It can't jam today or crash tomorrow.
The use environment of the car is often more severe than that of the general electronic products. High temperature, severe cold, sandstorm, humidity, turbulence and continuous working conditions must have stable performance. It can't be like a batch of Apple mobile phones. It can't be like a batch of Apple mobile phones. It can't be like a batch of Apple mobile phones. It can't be like a zero degree break. It can't be like a batch of mobile phones. It can become a hand warming treasure as soon as it is used.
As long as it is designed and the process meets the strict requirements, it can be solved whether it is LCD panel or vehicle LCD screen.
In addition to hardware, what really opens the gap is a set of software system, which is the most important.
If you just want to design a set of LCD system to display the speed, speed, fuel volume, temperature and other information, then the operation of this system is not difficult at all.
For example, the old TV has no software system of its own, and all parameters need to be adjusted by mechanical knobs and buttons, even the remote control does not support it.
However, in the era of LCD TV, TV soon has its own simple operating system, or set-top box system. Such a system supports remote control, remote control to adjust various parameters, and self editing of program frequency band. In fact, the system required by LCD dashboard is not very different from that of ordinary LCD TV; if you want to use LCD dashboard There are more abundant information and functions embedded in it, such as navigation, telephone, information, interaction and even custom software and functions. It is impossible to achieve it only by a set of simple system. It must have a complete set of software ecology, including a set of mature intelligent operating system and various kinds of software support. At this time, the advantages of Makino car come out again.
In the future, I have Android and IOS, and the vehicle system derived from these two systems. The LCD dashboard can be completely supported by Android or IOS. In that case, it is not impossible to watch navigation in the dashboard, even if I want to chat, watch TV and play games in the dashboard, which will further widen the gap between friends and merchants.
In fact, the future car LCD screen is the same. If it can only adapt to its own functions, like the old TV set-top box, it can't be compared with the real intelligent operating system.
……
Li Mu planned the future strategic direction and tactics in his mind, and then immediately promoted the establishment of the company with Larry Page.
The first problem is to get a name and register immediately.
Do you like the name keyhole, Li Mu? I don't know what a strange name it is.
Larry Page is not interested in the name either. Since it's a joint venture between Makino technology and Google, we decided to take one letter from each company and name it M & G in the simplest way.
It is called ”M & G Information Technology Co., Ltd.” in the future, the headquarters of M & G will be set up in Silicon Valley in the United States, and the location of its office will be as close to Google as possible, because in the future, it will mainly rely on Google's people to transform keyhole's technology, patents, data and team.
As for Muye technology, it is mainly to pay, pick and eat peaches, cultivate and maintain them all to Google.
Google is a company founded by Larry Page. So their technology gene is very strong, and their technology strength is against the sky. There is no problem for them to take charge.
