On June 24, at the 2020 Tencent Smart Mobility Product Launch Conference, Tencent released the TAI 3.0, an ecological connected vehicle product, and the TAD Sim 2.0, a new generation of self-driving virtual simulation platform.
TAI3.0 was first installed in the Haval F7 and can adapt to different vehicle systems and hardware platforms. TAI3.0 includes two vehicle apps: “Tencent Travel” and “Tencent Love to Listen”, as well as an ecological open platform “Tencent Little Scenario.”
During the live demonstration, Tencent also emphasized on the WeChat feature in the vehicle, which allows users to send and receive voice messages, locate and navigate using WeChat. This feature can be referenced with the vehicle WeChat in the Ideal ONE.
From the demonstration, it can be seen that Love to Listen integrates some music apps, enabling users to search and play the latest music.
Little Scenario is an open platform similar to WeChat Mini Program that can be easily integrated into the vehicle system. It claims to provide a 3 million level service application expansion space to the vehicle ecosystem.
From the cooperative partners’ perspective, Tencent has cooperated with 29 automakers and stated that 116 models have already landed or will soon be implemented.
On the other hand, Tencent also released the TAD Sim 2.0, an autonomous driving simulation test platform.
Officially, TAD Sim 2.0 has more than 1000 types of scenes and can perform tests of over 10 million kilometers per day.
In terms of layout and planning, Tencent has already set up a simulation platform, a development cloud platform, a high-precision map platform, and an autonomous driving core technology kit.
Tencent has also established a Future Network Laboratory, and is currently conducting research on the 5G-V2X vehicle-road collaborative platform.
