Last year, Roewe RX5 released its chassis, engine and gearbox, which were basically copied from MG Ruiteng. The sales performance of Roewe RX5 dumped MG Ruiteng for several streets, and Ma Yun played an important role in it.
Compared with Baidu's Carlife, Ali's YunOS for Car is nearly two years late, but YunOS's Ali smart device operating system has long been famous in the big data market. This time, Ali was "late" in the car, but he was not afraid of the former.
The Roewe RX5 advertised as the first Internet car was officially released, and the price range was 99,800 yuan ~ 654,388+038,800 yuan. It has also publicized SAIC and will cooperate with Alibaba Cloud in depth. At the same time, this is also the first appearance of YunOS for Car in-vehicle system.
YunOS for Car also has a system with CarPlay and Android Auto functions. Based on Linux development and including open source libraries such as WebKit, OpenGL and SQLite, YunOS for Car is equipped with the core virtual machine of Ali's own system. Through cloud hosting, mobile phone data can be managed synchronously, and at the same time, data can be permanently stored in the cloud and synchronized to all devices of the owner. Ali aims to integrate multiple platforms and realize efficient communication between people and vehicles. It is a set of Internet intelligent vehicle operating system.
It can be seen that Roewe's smart devices are still very advanced. Although the Roewe RX5 failed to shake Haval H6' s position in the SUV industry, this car has become Roewe's most successful model so far.
Ma Yun certainly didn't cooperate with Roewe for the purpose of unmanned driving. There is still a long way to go to popularize driverless driving in China. Alibaba will not consider driverless driving, but hopes to change the experience mode of traditional in-vehicle systems through the cloud.
