In the near future, intelligence is mainly based on scene applications and will be developed towards autonomous driving and intelligent transportation in the future."
"Electro-electric technologies will coexist in a number of ways, such as pure electric technology, plug-in hybrid power, fuel cells, and hybrid power," said Youzheng.
Youzheng stressed that with the continuous influx of auto industry participants, traditional automobile enterprises, parts and components enterprises, new car manufacturing forces, new technology providers, travel service providers, and other market players are all involved in effectively developing industrial integration. The ability of value chain integration, so the whole vehicle enterprises need to build a direct customer-oriented platform, data will become the core assets of the enterprise. Facing the profound transformation of the industry, Dongfeng as a traditional automobile manufacturer transformation and upgrading is imminent.
