repairer may be one of many Internet car into the automotive industry practice, but not the only option, because the purpose behind them, still in the wisdom of changes in traffic to find development opportunities. Autopilot essence, is to artificial intelligence ported over to the car. Therefore, the future of transport will be a robot? At least Segway-Ninebot (Nine robot) think so. Artificial intelligence and machine together will be symbiotic, help people get more done. So now the car companies may no longer car prices, but a home robot manufacturing company, whether that focus on robotics research company, will have the opportunity of making a vehicle it?
If we say that making cars is a vast project, then the electric motorcycles and electric bicycles might be a good entry option, after all, once Honda, Geely is from this starting point along the way. Last month, the balance Nine car giant robot (Segway-Ninebot) held a press conference in Beijing, in one fell swoop release Nine electric C, E Nine two electric production car, as well as self-balancing electric energy automatically traveling Nine T and Segway Apex super electric motorcycle two concept cars.
Nine electric E series
four cars together and battle spectacular, but if you think so let Segway-Ninebot is a manufacturer of electric bicycles, think again. Who Segway-Ninebot that? Its two founders have many years of exploration venture in the field of robotics, and access to the world’s first Robot World Cup three times. Later found opportunity in the car market balance, in one fell swoop to join the development and manufacturing of balance among car. If you are a rice flour (millet fans), I believe that these companies should not be unfamiliar. In millet stores often we see the balance of the car all from Segway-Ninebot, while the balance of the previously announced version Cardin car kit once more become the focus of public opinion.
But Segway-Ninebot business much more than that, the robot has beenIts early heart lies. Segway-Ninebot independent research and development of robot platform, BMW has developed a robotic automatic parking assist. In addition, the company has invested nearly billion for cutting-edge applications include, but are not limited to visual navigation technology of AI research and development, and joint research and development of artificial intelligence and autonomous driving and BMW of Germany, the United States INTEL, and other well-known international institutions in local transport and long-distance transport. Balance of the car is facing its C terminus quot; cash cow quot ;, while the robot is stick to its core business. quot
starting four cars behind; subtext quot;
balance of the car may have very high for Western markets usage, but for China, its audience is small in size, profit margins are much worse than overseas. Nine robot so the need for new business and meet its development in the headquarters of the Chinese market in the future.
Nine Electric Series C
and do the smart robot, or most in need of algorithms, optimization algorithms can not do without correction data; while in the Chinese territory of intelligent transportation, can be trivial to use a large amount of data, and can be connected with a vehicle to address the last kilometer traffic, not balanced car, but a bicycle. At the same time, electric motorcycles, in China’s cities and countryside also has a high market share, or even replace the car, become the most frequent daily use of transport, this is a great treasure of data generated. Therefore, the logic into electric bicycles, motorcycles art will be able to talk through.

However, I believe, Segway-Ninebot to enter the field of electric vehicles is the largest quot; luck quot ;, which is not compared with the high-profile electric calf, or afterwards quot; noisy quot ;. But four products announced at the press conference.
Segway Apex super electric motorcycle
Nine C electric vehicles to meet the new national standard requirements, high color value, low price, bearing friction limit the amount of running the city needs. Nine E electric cars, motorcycles according to design specifications, as set foot in pre-robotic Nine flagship market, with performance to clear the way, the important task of brand pioneer. quot Friends and business; calf quot; high-profile comparison also for Taylor.
but the real worth pondering is simultaneously released two concept cars. Nine T and electric self-balancing Segway Apex super electric motor. BAO car studio believes that the former is the future can really implement quot; real smart quot; brand concept works. No hand, it will not automatically reverse the balance of body, as well as the upcoming automatic parking equipment, automatic function to find someone, the integration of its automated parking robot R & D results of previous cooperation with BMW, the automatic car industry AVP (automated valet parking Valet parking technology) copied to the two rounds of the world. Large size relative to the vehicle, two electric motor on the number of sensors and control costs are an advantage. In addition, AVP technology is a simplified version of the low-speed automatic driving scenes, this technology will also mature fully automated driving lay the foundation for the future, so BAO car workshop concluded two rounds of the autopilot is the real goal Segway-Ninebot .
The Segway Apex announcement is even more exciting. Segway This balance is the world’s largest car company, after Ninebot acquisition, the name alone to Segway, Segway will be responsible for the task means that the electric motor of the high-end market, the launch of the Nine tram E in the future only as end run the amount present. The Segway in North America and Europe have a higher market share, Segway-Ninebot ambition is from high-end to mid-range, and then to the low-end full coverage, and global distribution.
Segway-Ninebot behind millet ambitions in the field of intelligent transportation
mentioned before, millet store experience the balance of the car products, most of which are manufactured and supplied by Segway-Ninebot. The reason is that milletHeshun capital invested Segway-Ninebot the company in 2014. According to high salaries peak Segway-Ninebot founder saying: quot; In the process of enterprise development, millet in all aspects of the supply chain, channel and market given the most important support and help, millet is on Segway-Ninebot in the short transportation and robotics business the closest strategic partner. quot; listed Nine tram, millet falling on the wisdom of the traffic layout and a pawn.
2013, millet ecological chain plans to officially born in five years and plans to invest 100 ecological chain enterprises. These ecological chain enterprises including intelligent vehicle product development companies, such as car meter science and technology, step 70, and Segway-Ninebot and so on.
In 2014, millet denied to enter the repairer industry has applied for nine patents related to the car. Millet with intelligent voice assistant, opened the door to the car key markets: Weimaraner and Mercedes-Benz has entered into a collaboration with millet, were introduced Weimaraner EX5 millet smart home control device functions and Mercedes-Benz MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction systems intelligent home control functions.
According to statistics, as of May 2018, with Lei Jun personal, millet science and technology, along for the nominal capital invested in the automotive industry a total of more than 20. For example, China rice technology and automotive Xiaopeng, 70 Mai and Weimaraner cars. And millet itself, but also non-stop from the participation and cooperation of traditional car prices. In November 2018, according to official sources, millet Group and FAW Car Co., Ltd. signed a strategic agreement, the millet and Pentium by enabling students with little love smart car.
In addition, there are rumors millet and Changan Mazda has entered into a collaboration. But from the point of view of cooperation has been reached, explore the millet in the automotive sector still remain in the shallow level, deeper vehicle system and autopilot millet technology has not yet been excavated.
Segway-Ninebot but is a good ways and means. The two can form a short-distance traffic intelligence level and four-wheeled vehiclesFit, intelligent transportation can be reduced under the incoming THRESHOLD small run. Future traffic intelligence, will be the overall ecological intelligence, mobile phones as IOT (Internet of Things The Internet of Things, referred to as IOT) core, it is already indisputable fact.
in January 2019, in their first Redmi new conference on millet, Lei Jun announced the official launch quot; phone + AIoT (AI = AI Artificial Intelligence Things + IoT things) quot; twin-engine strategy, saying quot; this is the core strategy for the next five years millet quot ;. In quot; phone + AIoTquot; strategy under the guidance of twin-engine, Lei Jun said, millet 2020 will continue to promote quot; 5G + AIoTquot; the next generation of super Internet has become part of public life.
last year’s third quarter, millet quot; phone + AIoTquot; twin-engine strategy continues to bear fruit. As of September 30, 2019, the number of IoT IoT platform connected device, without including smart phones and laptops, to reach 210 million units, up 62.0 percentage. It has five connections to devices on the platform of IoT millet users and above (not including smart phones and laptops), increased to 350 million, an increase of 78.7 percentage. Meanwhile, millet AI continued to IoT-enabled phones, and. September 2019, the students love small monthly active users, 57.9 million, an increase of 68.6 percentage.
With the Segway-Ninebot electric car series of incoming millet in the transport sector IoT devices will also significantly increase, then, millet layout IoT field is about to complete, and cross-dimensional attack on future transport sector It will also start.
