Based on HarmonyOS, we can enjoy Huawei's "1+8+N" ecosystem, and realize full interconnectivity across terminals.
Compared to traditional operating systems, HMS for Automotive is a truly car-oriented operating system, which includes HMS-A (HMS for Automotive), 12 car subsystems, and multiple HOS-C APIs to build a software platform that is truly oriented to the "car" scenario.
HMS-A (HMS for Automotive), 12 car subsystems and multiple HOS-C APIs are the three highlights to build a real software platform for the "car" scene.
The HMS for Automotive OS software platform will be responsible for providing the underlying software system mainly based on the HMS OS operating system.
Huawei's HOMOS operating system adopts a distributed architecture and modular design, which can realize parallel intelligent operating systems on different smart devices by combining and extracting different modules.
Based on the Hongmeng OS operating system, there is sharing and connection between the car and other intelligent terminals, and a set of systems to meet a variety of hardware devices, connecting people, cars, and homes, and realizing the true significance of the interconnection of all things.
Hongmeng car OS also provides more than 500 car control class API interfaces, API interfaces can open up the above functions, to facilitate the development and customization of the subsequent car companies, Tier1 and other developers.
In the Hongmeng Vehicle Domain Eco-Platform, Huawei will join hands with developers to provide more useful automotive applications and related hardware, and build an intelligent cockpit ecosystem through cooperation*** with them.
There are two main types of car ecosystems: user interface-oriented app ecosystems and cockpit hardware ecosystems.
The application ecosystem is mainly to unite with more application software enterprises to **** the same development.
Hardware ecosystem is facing more hardware equipment manufacturers, interconnection, joint innovation, continuous upgrading, and then through the open API to help eco-partners to quickly develop hardware and software services to meet the needs of the user, in line with the characteristics of the differentiation of the cabin of the car companies, to bring the ultimate experience for the user.
HI is the core brand of Huawei's intelligent automotive parts business, and the core of HI is to help automakers build cars using Huawei's inside model.
HiCar connects cell phones and cars, radiates cell phone applications to cars, and seamlessly connects cell phones + cars + N terminals to further improve the human-computer interaction experience, and is expected to be installed in 2021 with a volume of 5 million units.
Huawei HiCar mainly provides two important open capabilities.
One is the ability to access cell phone applications and services, so that virtualized automotive hardware resources can be accessed directly through applications on cell phones. Secondly, HiCar provides the open capability of accessing automotive hardware devices. Through the integration of HiCarSDK, hardware such as cars can quickly access HiCar and enjoy the rich application ecosystems and services of cell phones, such as transferring the content played on the cell phone to be played on the car, which ultimately achieves the seamless flow between the cell phone and the car.
Intelligent trend, Huawei has a leading technology advantage in the field of electric intelligence, and can realize the service ability from components to full-stack service, is expected to drive the industry chain to speed up comprehensively.
According to the "White Paper on Intelligent Cockpit Development Trends" jointly released by Roland Berger and Horizon, the future development of intelligent cockpits will be divided into four stages.
The first stage is the integration of electronic information systems, which is manifested in the transformation of sub-systems into functional domains and the realization of interconnection of various systems.
The second stage is to enhance the perception of the car.
The third stage realizes human-machine **** driving, vehicle perception ability is further enhanced (voice control, gesture control, etc.), and realizes the consumer's experience of the whole cycle of getting on the car - driving - getting off the car.
The fourth stage will create the final form of the intelligent cockpit, constantly enriching the scene from the perspective of user experience.
The current development of intelligent cockpit is in the first stage, and the development of domain controller has become the current mainstream.
The future development of intelligent cockpit is driven by both the demand side and the supply side. From the demand side, the deepening of consumer awareness of the electronic experience is in line with the trend of automotive consumer upgrades. From the supply side, the traditional cockpit is composed of independent and dispersed subsystems, it is difficult to form a linkage, unable to meet the trend of consumer upgrading, thus giving birth to the cockpit domain control to achieve more functions and realize the cost side of the downturn.
