Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing

Products such as LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar and ultrasonic radar are very unfamiliar to most people.

What do these things do?

You may understand what radar means, isn’t it just detection?

Radar can also be said to mean sensor.

It is mainly used in adaptive cruise control (ACC), forward collision warning system (FCW), blind spot detection (BSD), automatic emergency braking (AEB) and parking assistance system.

But more in-depth information, such as detection distance, accuracy, time interval, environmental interference, response time, etc., may not be very clear, and it feels more abstract.

The detection distance of LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar can reach more than 100 meters;

Ultrasonic radar is within a few meters, with high accuracy, up to centimeter level, which is beyond the reach of the first two, and the response time can reach several milliseconds, and more than six are installed on a car.

LiDAR is expensive, at least $500 per unit, usually more than $1,000, and is generally used in high-end cars, such as the future QX M9.

For a new energy vehicle, generally one LiDAR is enough.

Of course, if laser radar is configured, millimeter-wave radar and ultrasonic radar will still be configured.

The three radars complement each other technically, and no radar can cover all needs.

Mid-range cars are generally not equipped with laser radar, but with camera + 3 millimeter-wave radars + 6 to 12 ultrasonic radars.

Low-end cars are configured with camera + 1 millimeter-wave radar, which car companies think is enough to meet the needs of autonomous driving. For example, when reversing, there may be no specific distance data.

In the final analysis, whether to use it or not is a matter of cost, and the laser radar is large in size, which may affect the appearance design of the vehicle, and at the same time, the pressure on data processing is very high.

In addition to cost factors, the early vehicles failed to apply laser radar, millimeter-wave radar and ultrasonic radar on a large scale. It was also limited by the data processing capabilities of the chips at the time.

The large amount of data generated by these advanced sensors requires powerful computing power to process, and the early on-board computing systems could hardly meet this requirement.

This technical bottleneck explains why these sensor technologies are almost synchronized with the development of new energy vehicles.

Taking the field of lidar technology as an example, representative companies such as Velodyne, Luminar, Innoviz and Ouster were all established relatively late.

Luminar was founded in 2012, and Innoviz was not launched until 2016.

It was not until after 2010 that the processing power of high-end automotive chips could barely cope with the data needs of these sensors.

For Hao Qiang, this means that even if new energy vehicles are successfully developed now, the full application of autonomous driving functions may have to wait until after 2015, when chip technology is further developed.

Despite this, it is still valuable to conduct research in advance to lay the foundation for future applications.

Due to the high technical threshold, there are only a few companies that can successfully develop these sensors.

According to data from 2024 in the previous life, the global market size of each radar is about US$5 billion.

The global market size seems not high compared to other industries, but there are not many companies that share this cake, and the profit margin is extremely high.

Hao Qiang’s future strategic layout, top sensors are crucial.

It is difficult to rely on others to meet his strict requirements, and independent research and development has become an inevitable choice.

Considering the technical limitations of some key components, Hao Qiang estimates that it will take until around 2010 to develop a reliable driving assistance system product for new energy vehicles.

Although the two-year R&D cycle is tight, it is almost done.

If the time is prolonged, due to the rules of the technology store, it is impossible to skip the integration technology, which may delay the integration of the next level of technology.

At the same time, it will also affect the advancement of the overall technical route.

In short, under the background of the rapid development of new energy vehicles and autonomous driving technology, the independent research and development of sensor technology is not only a reflection of technical strength, but also the key to future competitiveness.

Hao Qiang’s forward-looking layout will win him an advantage in this highly competitive field.

Others learn English in junior high school, but he has been enlightened in kindergarten and can communicate fluently in elementary school.

With the successful development of super lithium batteries, Hao Qiang will withdraw from this milestone achievement and officially enter the field of new energy vehicles.

This marks his strategic shift from basic technology research and development to industrial application, which is a key step in his grand blueprint.

However, entering a new field is not easy.

In order to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive arena of new energy vehicles, a lot of sufficient preparation work needs to be done.This includes but is not limited to technology integration, talent reserves, factory construction, supply chain construction and other aspects.

Every step requires careful consideration and careful planning.

In the next few days, Hao Qiang stayed in the company to deal with the remaining work.

A shocking news in the battery industry spread quietly.

Future Technology Group has successfully achieved mass production of NCM622 batteries, but they did not announce this major breakthrough to the public. Instead, they produced and used it for their own use and directly matched it with the battery box of electric motorcycles.

If it were other companies, they would have announced it proactively.

One month after Future Technology Group’s mass production, electric motorcycle peers learned that Future Technology Group’s second-generation electric motorcycles had been replaced with second-generation lithium batteries.

It has reached the international first-class level.

No, in terms of mass production capacity, it has already reached the international top level.

The news was soon exposed by peers and reported by the media, causing an uproar in the industry.

Battery manufacturing peers were shocked when they learned of this breakthrough.

Future Technology Group has not only made a major breakthrough in the energy density of ternary lithium batteries, but also solved the safety hazards of battery explosion and flammability. This achievement is expected to completely change the competitive landscape of multiple industries.

On August 5, the Net One platform published a striking report titled “Future Technology Group will change the world’s energy landscape”.

The article elaborates in detail:

“The world-shaking lithium battery technology was born in Future Technology Group, and has been in mass production for a month.

If it were not disclosed by peers, it is estimated that no one outside would know about it.

Future Technology Group has successfully increased the energy density of ternary lithium batteries to 200Wh/kg, while solving the safety hazards of battery explosion and flammability.

According to peer evaluation, this technology has reached the international top level.

The significance of this technological breakthrough goes far beyond the battery industry itself. It will accelerate the popularization of electric vehicles, promote the large-scale application of renewable energy, and may even completely change our energy consumption pattern.

This achievement of Future Technology Group will undoubtedly trigger a new round of technological innovation and industrial transformation on a global scale.

Industry experts pointed out that if it is true, the potential application of this technology is far more than the field of electric vehicles.

In the fields of renewable energy storage, portable electronic devices, and even aerospace, revolutionary development may be achieved because of this technology.

At the same time, the successful commercialization of this technology will win a decisive advantage for Huaguo in the global competition in the field of new energy…”

This report quickly caused widespread discussion inside and outside the industry, but Future Technology Group did not make a statement, and many uninformed netizens thought it was fake.

A netizen said: “What’s fake? Their second-generation electric motorcycle has been sold for a month. Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know after testing it.”

“I just bought the second-generation Future Electric Motorcycle F1. The shop owner said that it is lighter than the first generation and has a range of more than ten kilometers.”

“The quality of Hao Qiang’s electric vehicles is good, especially the range, which is real.”

“If it’s true, Future Technology Group is really awesome! But Future Technology Group didn’t announce it, so it might be made up by the media.”

“What is NCM622?”

“The ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese in the ternary lithium battery is 6:2:2.”

“The above explanation is wrong, it should be Cao Ni Ma CNM battery.”

“Too uncultured, but the ternary lithium battery is indeed hard to remember, so it’s called Cao Ni Ma lithium battery.”

Many netizens don’t know the truth, and the information on the Internet is half true and half false.

In fact, the range of the second-generation Future Electric Motorcycle F1 has increased, but this is due to the replacement of the motor developed and produced by Future Technology Group.

The battery capacity is still the same, but the weight of the vehicle has been reduced because the battery volume has been reduced.

The next day, an important call came to Hao Qiang’s office.
