What is the use of vehicle networking and what are its functions?
2 Answers
Vehicle networking is a vast interactive network composed of information such as vehicle location, speed, and route. Through devices such as GPS, RFID, sensors, and camera image processing, vehicles can collect information about their environment and status. In terms of functions: 1. It is equipped with an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and an OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system, which are responsible for monitoring and diagnosing the vehicle's operating status in the vehicle networking system. Combined with an intelligent vehicle system, it can achieve partial control of the vehicle, such as intelligent parking, adaptive cruise control, active collision prevention systems, etc. 2. Enables vehicle-machine interconnection. Internationally, systems like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are representative, while domestically, Baidu Carlife is a notable example. These systems can project smartphone content onto the vehicle's screen, enhancing flexibility and extensibility, and aim to transform the in-car audio-visual entertainment experience. 3. Enables autonomous driving. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers has proposed a five-stage classification for vehicle networking: Stage 1 to Stage 5 are: driving resource assistance stage, partial automation stage, conditional automation stage, high automation stage, and full automation. All of these are achieved through vehicle networking. Now, do you understand the uses and functions of vehicle networking?
I've been using connected car services for several years, and what I find most valuable is the convenience and peace of mind it brings. Before driving, I can remotely start the engine or preheat the air conditioning via a mobile app, so the car is cool in summer without feeling like a sauna. The navigation is powerful, updating traffic conditions in real-time to avoid congestion, saving both time and fuel. When parking, one-click locking or location monitoring provides extra security against theft. In case of an accident, the system automatically contacts emergency services, enhancing safety. For entertainment, kids in the backseat can enjoy music and videos, making long trips less tedious. Overall, connected car services make driving life much easier, like having a smart assistant on board.
