Where will intelligent navigation go in the future?

Navigation, the core of which is always changing, is "guidance." Regardless of the type of end-to-end operation, it is a device that helps people to facilitate the direction of their actions based on the planning path.

Someone once thought about the future direction of navigation: If the hardware navigation is 1.0, the software navigation is 2.0, and the free Internet navigation service is the navigation 3.0 era, then where will the navigation in the navigation age 4.0 go?

In the offline “Collision” laboratory held by GeekCar on October 29th, Yang Yongqi, vice president of Gaode Navigation, said, “The future navigation is a unavoidable trend.”

With the increasing popularity of mobile-end navigation software, the disadvantages of traditional in-vehicle navigation become more obvious: “inaccurate directions”, “unrecently updated maps”, and “no navigation for entertainment and life”, all of which have caused car navigation products to suffer. Great challenge. Many car dealers also believe that car navigation devices are too expensive, single-function, and inconvenient to upgrade. The popularization of smart phones, everyone will download and install navigation software, real-time update data, not money, but also easy to use. Therefore, the car navigation system is no longer attractive. Many car companies also keenly aware of this malpractice, and at the time of the development of car networking technology, they are no longer "door-to-door" and are seeking to cooperate with IT companies that have made achievements in the field of navigation. For example, Gao De (Alibaba ) Cooperate with SAIC to build an Internet car; Xu Heyi is willing to cooperate with LeTV to build an Internet car.

The cooperation between car giants and IT giants is proof that the integration of car and mobile phones is being promoted.

Taking the high-end navigation software of the mobile phone as an example, on the basis of enriching the location data, the high-definition map has added functions such as viewing a friend's location, sharing a place, and a restaurant review, so that it can adapt itself to the growing demand for social and local services. More crucially, the navigation features of the Gotland map are also gradually becoming more powerful. The navigation of the Gaode map is HUD, voice navigation, traffic alerts, and car park hints. The parent company Alibaba of Gaode also accesses shopping, payment, and other functions in navigation software. The future navigation software will become The carrier of the behavior, the road conditions, the search for parking spaces, food and beverages, shopping and entertainment video and audio, etc.

These functions are limited by the Internet and car display carriers, and it will take time before the current car-end navigation can be realized. However, these are the necessary equipment for Internet vehicles. Therefore, the solution to the interaction between the vehicle and the mobile phone can achieve the basis for car networking.

If the car and the mobile phone can interact perfectly, the navigation in the future will be developed into richer road conditions such as support for traffic lights, monitor reminders, and congestion reminders. The trend now is life navigation combined with local data. For example, restaurants, attractions around the navigation. Navigation is a secretary, so people only need one secretary in their car. Therefore, navigation will be combined with mobile search, combined with voice assistance, and combined with smart dialing tools to become an information hub in the automotive space.

At the same time, it also solves the problem of realization for driverless cars. Assume that all cars become self-driving cars and all are dispatched by the cloud. Then the use of big data intelligent scheduling will allow each car to go on the most suitable route, so that every logistics demand and travel demand can find the optimal means of transportation and routes. The entire transportation system will operate in an optimal state.

When people travel more and more without navigation, the car networking era may come.
