As the annual sales of 3 million new energy vehicle leader, BYD is also speeding up the organization iteration. 2024 the first week of work after the Spring Festival, BYD’s two major R & D centers, the Planning Institute and the Engineering Institute ushered in a new round of organizational changes.
Ersa Electronics learned from a number of sources familiar with the matter, BYD Planning Institute’s intelligent network center and intelligent driving center will be integrated, and jointly set up the Intelligent Technology Research Institute, the former director of the Intelligent Network Center, Liu Ke, and the director of the Intelligent Driving Research and Development Center, Han Bing, are incorporated into it.
This means that BYD’s Smart Cabin business and Smart Driving business will be linked at different levels, said a source familiar with the matter, “In the Intelligent Technology Research Institute, the Product Management Center has already spanned the Smart Driving and Cabin business, while the other departments are still sub-departments of the Smart Driving Development Center and the Cabin Development Center, remaining independent.”
The integration of the Smart Cabin Center and the Smart Driving Center has been a signal in BYD’s technology strategy for a long time. at BYD’s Dream Day conference on January 16th, company vice president Yang Dongsheng announced that BYD will be the world’s first to ride on the “Cabin and Driving” chip with computing power of 1,000T and 2,000T in the future.
The “cabin and driving system” refers to the integration of the vehicle’s cabin control system and automatic driving system into a computing platform, which greatly improves system efficiency and response speed.
A car company engineers told experts, cabin driving one can first save costs on hardware materials, at the same time, the bottom layer of a lot of software development work can also be integrated, is a multiple cost reduction program, “especially suitable for low-end market models.”
Azure, Zero Run, etc. have cabin driving one of the technology planning and corresponding product landing, and BYD has been promoting the cabin parking one function based on DiLink computing platform, further cabin driving fusion, obviously also in the leading company’s technology route.
In addition, the bottom line of BYD’s intelligent strategy is also great integration. In the BYD dream day, Wang Chuanfu once said that BYD’s pursuit of intelligence is not only the fusion of intelligent driving and intelligent cabin, but also the “whole car intelligence”. Obviously, the integration of the two R&D systems of the cabin and driver is also the first hand card for BYD to improve the R&D efficiency and realize the intelligence of the whole vehicle.
The BYD integration of the two intelligent technology departments, both for the R & D of the cabin of a good organizational structure to support the preparation, but also focus on making up for the short board of intelligent driving considerations.
In the intelligent investment, the new car company desperate, already in the field of intelligent driving to achieve the body position leading, ideal, azure, small peng car have been in the race to pilot auxiliary driving in urban areas landing progress, which for the high-end brand of science and technology force shaping, a great deal of benefit.
In contrast, BYD has a deep accumulation in electrification in the past, but the high-end intelligent driving force a little late. At the beginning of the year in the dream day conference, BYD also announced that it will fully invest in intelligent driving.
