Open and Create the Future BYD Global Developers Conference was grandly held

September 5, 2018 is destined to be recorded in the history of automobile development. Today, BYD Global Developer Conference with the theme of "Openness, Creating the Future" was grandly held in Shenzhen, and BYD D++ open ecosystem was officially released. Combined with the previously released DiLink intelligent network system and the many developers who joined the D++ ecosystem, it means that BYD's super intelligent travel ecosystem has been completed. This is the first developer conference in the 132-year history of automobile development, and it also marks that BYD is leading the automobile industry from closed to open.

Baidu President Zhang Yaqin, 360 Chairman and CEO Zhou Hongyi, Roadstar.ai CTO Hengliang, Horizon Chairman and CEO Yu Kai, VeChain CEO Lu Yang and other big names in the field of intelligent interconnection participated in this conference. Representatives from Internet companies such as Microsoft, Tencent Keen Lab, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, Bosch, iFlytek, Ping An Technology, and Lanren Tingshu also attended the conference to share wisdom and exchange ideas on technologies such as autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. At the same time, BYD and 360 officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly explore information security and network security from the perspective of smart cars. If Apple brings a carnival in the mobile phone and technology circles, then BYD's Global Developer Conference is brewing a carnival in the automobile and technology circles.

Mr. Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD, is ideally positioned to join hands with global innovators, entrepreneurs and developers to create a new future of smart cars and the Internet of Everything. Entering the second half of the automotive revolution centered on "intelligence", BYD "chose to take a path that others have not taken, a path that others cannot take now", and use technology openness to create industry prosperity. As the first smart developer conference in the global automotive industry, BYD's "Global Developer Conference" will become a weather vane for the development of the automotive industry in the next 10 years, promoting the transformation of smart travel in the automotive industry, and BYD, as the organizer of the conference, is becoming the maker of new rules for this transformation.

"Without the innovators, entrepreneurs and developers of the mobile phone ecosystem, and without the development of innovative content and application scenarios, there would not be such a huge mobile phone ecosystem today. It can be said that the key to mobile phone intelligence is to move from closed to open." BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu said, "Just like the process of mobile phone intelligence, we believe that the process of moving from closed to open is also the only way for automobile intelligence. To embrace the wave of intelligence, BYD's strategy is 'openness'."

"In the future, transportation will only account for 1% of smart cars, and the remaining 99% are what everyone is imagining." Instead, a "super car ecosystem" with infinite possibilities will take its place. However, "the Internet will never be produced on an abacus, and mechanical cars will naturally not produce real smart cars. Therefore, the premise of intelligence must be electrification and electronicization." As a leader in new energy vehicles, BYD is laying out an open car-making model in the field of intelligence.

The D++ open ecosystem is based on the world's latest automotive intelligent architecture and security strategy, providing developers with open interfaces, vehicle data and control permissions. Based on this, the D++ open ecosystem will gather the wisdom of global developers, and then derive unlimited possibilities for in-vehicle applications, and bring users a truly intelligent travel experience through the BYD DiLink intelligent network system. It is through the integration of technology and resources that the D++ open ecosystem will become a truly open source in-vehicle intelligent development platform in the 3.0 era, redefining the development model of the Internet of Vehicles. As Mr. Shu Youxing, Dean of BYD Automotive Intelligent Ecology Research Institute, said: "Today, BYD has built a brand new platform for all developers with dreams, an open platform that can create greater dreams."

We have reason to believe that relying on an open ecosystem, cars will become a mobile smart space. "The 10 or so sensors on mobile phones have attracted tens of millions of developers around the world to participate, generating more than 3 million applications." BYD will fully open up 341 sensors and 66 control rights on cars to provide developers with a broader platform for creative growth. Combined with the rich usage scenarios of cars, it is bound to derive an immeasurable application ecosystem. Mr. Yang Dongsheng, Dean of BYD Product Planning and Automotive New Technology Research Institute, said: "Driven by the open wave of intelligent networking, future smart cars can make all this a reality."

For users, the D++ ecosystem and the wisdom of global developers will make the DiLink intelligent network system with four major modules, namely Di platform, Di cloud, Di ecosystem and Di open, more powerful and intelligent, making travel life better. For example, when you are unable to pick up your children to school, it can start the automatic driving mode to pick up your children at the preset time of the car owner. The vehicle can perform face recognition and take the initiative to notify parents when the children get on and off the car. Parents can also view the real-time situation through the camera in the car and communicate and interact with their children. At the same time, the DiLink intelligent network system can also make intimate suggestions for you based on your car usage habits and based on the understanding of you. For example, it will autonomously calculate the mileage data of the owner's commute to work, and customize and push entertainment content of the corresponding duration. The application specially developed through the face recognition function can also push differentiated content for different genders. Of course, the premise of this intelligence is that it is safe enough. "We will also use 360's applications on BYD Auto's DiLink intelligent network system. Some applications can help applications on the DiLink platform to be safer," said Zhou Hongyi, chairman and CEO of 360 Group.

At present, the DiLink intelligent network system has been widely used in BYD Dynasty models, including the new generation of Tang, Song and the upcoming Qin Pro family, which are all equipped with this intelligent system. In other words, more and more consumers have witnessed or are about to experience the intelligent travel mode brought by the DiLink intelligent network system.

At this developer conference, the first model equipped with the "BYD D++ open ecosystem" - the Qin Pro family was officially unveiled. Together with the DiLink intelligent network system, it forms a complete intelligent ecosystem, connecting developers, products and users, and empowering the future smart travel industry. Qin Pro has been reserved as a test vehicle for Baidu Apollo for demonstration road testing. At the same time, the Qin Pro model is also the first Baidu Apollo pre-installed certified vehicle, and is expected to achieve mass production of L3 level autonomous driving in the future.

"Neither Baidu nor BYD is simply planning to develop its presence in the automotive industry. Instead, they are using artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to connect the cloud, edge, end, industry and consumers, creating smarter transportation and smarter cities," said Baidu President Zhang Yaqin, commenting on BYD's open ecosystem.

If the transformation from a travel tool to a mobile smart terminal lies in the Internet, then the core driving force of this Internetization comes from the self-evolution of the car itself. The open ecology makes Qin Pro a car that can "self-evolve" and is a truly smart car. For consumers, Qin Pro has the highest level of data port encryption and upgraded DiLink smart network function, which can perfectly carry the infinite smart ecology fostered by the open platform, bringing users a safer, more convenient and more fun travel experience.

The Chinese auto industry is standing at the forefront of change. While other automakers are still thinking about "what to do next", BYD has already used the Global Developer Conference to turn its ideals into reality. Starting from today's world-renowned developer conference, the automotive and Internet industries will experience an unprecedented integration, which will give birth to a large number of new application scenarios for smart mobility. In this integration, BYD uses open source and sharing to carry out self-revolution, and under the illumination of "great openness", it has created a new business model with unlimited possibilities and unlimited business opportunities.
