Throughout the past two years, the transformation of the automobile industry from traditional energy to new energy has been not limited to traditional car companies, and even many Internet companies have tried to enter the car-building industry, such as Baidu, Xiaomi and so on. After yesterday 360 also announced its intention to deploy new energy smart cars, today another mobile phone giant OPPO is rumored to be preparing to build a car.

With the continuous development of automotive science and technology, the wave of automobile "new four modernizations" represented by electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing has gradually become a major trend of the whole automobile industry. And these Internet giants are also trying to achieve transformation through their own advantages.

Perhaps the head of Huawei's smart driving product line has previously shared the different ideas of Huawei and traditional car companies: "traditional automakers tend to think that cars are the main body of the future, and there are some single points of computers on it." The future automobile is based on computers, and cars are computer-controlled peripherals (car computerization). " And this is an important reason why Internet giants are confident to enter the car-building industry.
