The white paper not only deeply discusses the huge potential of AIGC technology in the field of automotive applications, but also deeply analyzes the application of AIGC technology in the whole life cycle of the automotive industry based on actual cases, from R&D, design to manufacturing, marketing, and further extends to the reshaping of service experience, marking the leap of the automotive industry from the era of artificial intelligence 1.0 to the era of 2.0.

From SDV to DDV, AIGC technology leads the intelligent transformation of the automotive industry

At the theme forum of "AI Steering Steer, Controlling the Future", Li Dan, Deputy Minister of China FAW R&D Institute (Science and Technology Innovation Management Department) and Director of the National Key Laboratory of High-end Vehicle Integration and Control, gave a detailed interpretation of the white paper. Li Dan pointed out that since the end of 2022, marked by the release of ChatGPT 3.5 and Tesla's FSD V12, the automotive industry is experiencing a transformation from software-defined vehicles (SDV) to data-defined vehicles (DDV). This transformation is driven by massive amounts of data and achieves impressive performance gains through high-frequency iteration models. Different from the traditional development model based on logical code, AIGC technology has opened a new data-driven development model of end-to-end autonomous driving large model and intelligent cockpit interaction model, and the key resources for performance improvement have been transformed from R&D manpower to data and computing power. This transformation not only improves the performance and intelligence of automobiles, but also brings new competitive forces to the automotive industry.

Improve the efficiency and innovation of automotive design

In the field of automotive design, the application of AIGC technology is realizing the automation and intelligence of the design process through digital twins and process digital intelligence. Digital twin technology provides comprehensive data support for automotive design, enabling the design process to be monitored, predicted, and optimized in real time. Process digital intelligence manages business processes in real time and online through digital means, improves the efficiency of collaborative development, and ensures that problems in the development process can be found and solved in a timely manner. The application of these technologies not only improves the efficiency of development, but also improves the quality of the final product.

Drive the intelligent upgrade of automobile manufacturing

In the field of manufacturing, the application of AIGC technology is reflected in intelligent process design and production decision-making systems. Intelligent process design uses AI algorithms to quickly analyze a large amount of historical data to design the optimal process plan and achieve real-time dynamic optimization. The production decision-making system collects and analyzes massive production data to accurately predict potential problems and propose preventive measures. These applications not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce costs, improve the overall performance of products, and promote the transformation of the automobile manufacturing industry to intelligent manufacturing and service-oriented manufacturing.

Produce a large model of intelligent decision-making

Comprehensively upgrade the user's driving experience

In the field of autonomous driving, AIGC simplifies the algorithm architecture through the end-to-end large model, reduces the complexity of the rule algorithm, and shifts the key to performance improvement from human resources to data and computing power. Tesla's FSD Beta V12 is a case in point, with significantly reduced code and significantly improved performance. In addition, the application of AIGC technology in the intelligent cockpit makes human-computer interaction more natural and intuitive, and provides users with more personalized services and suggestions through voice recognition, facial recognition, gesture and emotion recognition and other functions. These changes not only improve driving safety and efficiency, but also greatly enrich the in-car experience for passengers. The application of AIGC technology indicates that the car will no longer be a simple means of transportation, but a highly intelligent and personalized mobile space.

Revolutionize automotive marketing strategies and user experience

In the field of marketing, the application of AIGC technology has improved marketing efficiency and customer experience through intelligent tools and data analysis. AIGC technology can quickly generate marketing content that engages consumers, improving brand recognition and consumer engagement. At the same time, by analyzing consumers' purchasing behaviors and preferences, AIGC technology provides consumers with more differentiated product recommendations and services, formulates more precise marketing strategies, and guides the definition and design of new models. These apps not only optimize marketing strategies, but also provide consumers with a more personalized car buying experience.
Taking CarPlan, a one-stop car purchase AI product with Autohome's large-scale model multi-round dialogue, as an example, it uses the generation ability of artificial intelligence + the professional accumulation of automotive experts to realize the industry's first AI interactive product of seeing, selecting and buying cars.
