Chapter 1055: Chapter 573: The Combination of Intelligence and Cars (Request for Subscription)_2

In terms of time,

it’s probably going to be next year.

After all, there are only two months left in this year, and to expect the teachers and students of the car engineering major to design and develop a car for Feiyue Group within such a short period of two months is indeed a bit challenging.

But next year is bound to be a year of explosive competition for new energy vehicles, and at that time, Feiyue Group will have to enter the fray, since we can’t let Tesla and Penguin Car divide the market among themselves.

In fact,

Ding Yue estimated that in the near future, domestic and foreign new energy vehicle manufacturers would likely be releasing major news or directly launching new models one after another.

After all, the topic of new energy batteries has dominated the conversation this whole year, and consumers are all looking forward to the launch of new electric vehicles with stronger battery life.

By that time, whether it’s Tesla or Penguin Car, even Dami Technology Group and Huawei Technology Group and other companies, will all be racing against time to get their plans in place.

As expected, things turned out just as Ding Yue had predicted.

Just three days later, the domestic car brand BYD officially announced that it was collaborating with Dami Technology Group to jointly create the latest Dami 1 series super long-range new energy electric vehicle!

This news undoubtedly added a lot of excitement to the new energy electric vehicle market.

And it directly shot up to the number one position on Twitter’s trending.

Of course, whether there was any manipulation of the trending to boost its visibility is something that remains unknown.

"Yue,"

At the entrance to the Administration Building’s principal’s office, Xu Bin’s voice suddenly rang out.

Ding Yue was busy with his regular principal duties. Upon seeing his friend Xu Bin arrive, he asked, "What’s up? Bin, what brings you to my office?"

"Did you see what’s trending?"

After walking in, Xu Bin took a seat in front of Ding Yue’s office desk with his usual grace and said to Big White, "Big White, bring me a cup of green tea."

Just as Xu Bin finished speaking, another familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the principal’s office.

"Principal Ding,"

The visitor was An Yujia.

An Yujia saw that Principal Ding seemed to be discussing something with Director Xu, so after entering, she sat down on the couch, ready to wait until Director Xu and Principal Ding finished their conversation before she would report to Principal Ding about company-related matters.

"Miss An, is there something you need?"

Ding Yue first looked at An Yujia to inquire what brought her to see him.

"Principal Ding, it’s nothing urgent, I just came to report on some company matters," An Yujia answered.

"Oh, oh."

Hearing this, Ding Yue was relieved it was nothing urgent, so he turned his head back to his friend Bin and said, "Bin, you rarely visit my office."

"Hahaha, can’t I come to see Big White?" Xu Bin shrugged.

Right at that moment, Big White had finished preparing the tea and brought it over to Xu Bin. After receiving it, Xu Bin said to Big White with a smile, "Big White, not bad at all."

As the writer of Big White’s chip intelligence program, Xu Bin had certain privileges concerning Big White.

For example, he could have Big White make a cup of tea for him.

If a stranger asked Big White to do something, Big White would obviously not carry out the instruction.

But Xu Bin was different; Ding Yue had set some permissions for him, and doing small tasks like this was entirely possible.

"You just mentioned something about checking trending, what’s causing trouble on trending now?"

Ding Yue looked at Xu Bin quizzically.

This morning, Ding Yue did scroll through Twitter but didn’t find any significant news or big entertainment industry scandals.

"The number one trending topic: Dami Technology and BYD Auto have announced they’re officially teaming up."

Xu Bin excitedly said to Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, one of the reasons I came to see you is to discuss exactly this."

At this point, An Yujia stood up from the sofa and walked to Principal Ding’s desk, saying.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he muttered, "So Dami Technology Group is partnering with BYD."

Ever since Dami Technology Group and Huawei Technology Group announced their foray into the new energy vehicle sector, Ding Yue had been pondering whether they were developing new energy vehicles independently or in cooperation with domestic car brands.

If it were independent development, it would be impressive, as developing cars on one’s own is definitely a costly affair.

In comparison, collaborating with domestic car brands would be a lot more convenient.

After all, domestic car brands have made quite good progress over the years and have come to realize the big trend that new energy vehicles are the future.

Therefore, quite a few domestic car brands have gradually started new energy vehicle businesses over the past two years.

One side knows how to build cars, and the other can provide support with software systems; working together would indeed be a wise choice.

What Ding Yue hadn’t anticipated was that Dami Technology Group was partnering with BYD.

BYD is actually quite strong domestically in the new energy vehicle sector, and now that they are teaming up with Dami Technology Group, it could be considered a powerful alliance.

"Let me check."

Ding Yue immediately picked up his phone, opened Twitter, and sure enough, saw that the first trending topic was about Dami and BYD.

"That being said, the partnership between Dami Technology Group and BYD will indeed significantly enhance their competitiveness."

Ding Yue analyzed, "Are they still choosing the new energy batteries from Europe’s Mantech Group for their battery technology?"

"Yes."

At this time, An Yujia nodded and said, "Principal Ding, domestically, most are following Penguin Car’s lead, opting for Europe’s Mantech Group’s new energy batteries, Chang’an being the exception."

"This means,"

Ding Yue said thoughtfully, "that what Dami Technology Group can offer in partnership with BYD is the software system for the new energy vehicles, right?"

After all, Dami Technology Group’s main business is the manufacture of smartphones, computers, domestic smart appliances, and other so-called national technology companies with a large user base and a significant share in the domestic market.

"Yue, I came here to discuss this with you,"

Xu Bin suddenly interjected, "I read that the new energy vehicles developed by Dami Technology Group in partnership with BYD will use Dami Technology Group’s "Dami Operating System." This system’s integration with the car’s intelligence will undoubtedly be the future trend for new energy vehicles. If you are getting into new energy vehicles, Yue, we must focus on this area too."

Ding Yue understood what Xu Bin meant by that.

New energy vehicles today go far beyond just using electricity; equally important is the vehicle’s control system.

Ordinary fuel vehicles have a central control system that is certainly less sophisticated in intelligence.

New energy vehicles, however, are different since they use electricity, it’s possible to install devices similar to smartphones and computers inside the cars and use a full operating system for control.

Years ago, electric cars by Tesla and Penguin Car already operated this way.

Features like automatic braking and autopilot, for instance, are handled through the operating system along with various hardware devices and software.

However, the software has become more mature, so its application in cars has naturally become more convenient.

And this is the overall trend.

"Bin, do you mean that we should also develop our own intelligent car control system?"

Ding Yue’s lips curved upwards slightly as he looked at Bin and said.

"Right."

Xu Bin nodded, his gaze suddenly twinkling, as he said, "Yue, I also have a bold idea. Since it’s the age of intelligence, why don’t we apply some of Big White’s technology to our new energy vehicles? What do you think?"

Hearing what Xu Bin said, Ding Yue’s smile grew even more unconstrained.
