How can NetQin solve the pain points of traditional automobile manufacturers and make the development of automobile intelligence fast and stable?

In recent years, as intelligent driving and vehicle networking technologies are increasingly favored by the industry, smart cars have become the next trend in the development of the science and technology and automotive industries.

However, in the process of upgrading traditional cars to smart cars, technological innovation also faces huge challenges and revolutions, especially for traditional car manufacturers, who want to keep up with the wave of industrial intelligent transformation, but are limited by insufficient reserves of the Internet and related technologies, and are in a very passive position.

At this time, NetQin entered the field of smart cars by acquiring the Finnish company Link Motion, precisely to help automakers solve such development pain points.

A quick way to build intelligent car companies

In fact, as early as June this year at the CES Asia 2017 Asia International Consumer Electronics Show in Shanghai, NetQin's Link Technology exhibited with its partners, positioning itself as a smart car system integration service provider, which means that it can pre-integrate underlying components and ADAS, and then work with technology companies to provide services to car manufacturers and Tier 1 companies.

NetQin has emphasized that it will not subvert the automotive industry, but will become a catalyst to help automakers achieve intelligence. So in essence, NetQin's idea of ​​entering the field of smart cars is to provide customized services for car manufacturers.

According to NetQin, with the basic support of the Lingdong platform, no matter whether car manufacturers are willing to support Carplay, AndroidAuto, or Baidu system, they can help car companies realize it on the product side.

In addition, although NetQin itself has no relevant experience in the field of smart cars, the Finnish company it acquired, Linktech, has more than ten years of experience in automotive electronics integration. It is committed to the research and development and design of smart vehicle platforms and provides Internet of Vehicles technology solutions. Its customers currently include European, American, Japanese automakers and world-class sports car brands such as Lamborghini and Ferrari.

New safety measures protect smart cars

As the rapid popularization of smart cars becomes a foreseeable trend, the safety issues that come with smart cars become more important.

In recent years, Tesla, which represents a milestone in automobile intelligence, has continued to be the focus of special attention from cyber hackers and many domestic security companies. It has been repeatedly confirmed that vehicles can be controlled through system loopholes, posing a hidden danger to the future development of smart cars.

On July 7, NetQin held a seminar on smart car platform services and kernel security enhancement applications in Beijing. Dozens of relevant experts and industry insiders conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges on key topics such as security, standards, and policies in the field of smart cars.

Realizing security protection for smart cars is obviously an indispensable and most important part of a complete smart car solution. To this end, NetQin deliberately divides the system into many completely independent levels, making each level of the system independent and separating permissions.

Specifically, Lingdong has a system for car entertainment and driving respectively. It is divided into three levels from the bottom layer, has a hierarchical structure of security partitions, and uses system virtualization to define independent areas. If accidents and problems occur in a certain segment of the smart car, the chain reaction can be minimized to the greatest extent, ensuring that the car and the smart system are within the range of normal control.

At the same time, NetQin's Lingdong platform uses a dedicated firewall to block any intrusion from the external network to the car's CAN network, thereby preventing external intrusion into the car's key functions.

Industry insiders predict that the global Internet of Vehicles is expected to exceed 100 billion euros in 2020. In this environment, China's domestic smart car market share is also expected to reach an astonishing one-third.

It can be seen that NetQin's approach to the layout of smart cars is in line with this trend of the times, and has built a powerful springboard for more and more traditional car manufacturers to move towards intelligence. Combined with the perspective of a smart car system integration service provider, it provides effective protection for smart car safety issues from the bottom up, and allows ordinary consumers to have more confidence in the future of smart cars.
