CES 2015, Mercedes-Benz F015 Luxury in Motion driverless concept car debut On August 10th, according to Reuters, the world's two largest luxury carmakers BMW and Daimler have already announced alliances with suppliers and talked about bringing together more engineers to develop the benefits of driverless cars. However, executives and industry experts told Reuters that the other motive behind these deals is the fear that driverless cars may not be able to meet the kind of profit expectations that initially led to large capital inflows. Automakers are tending to consider giving up full ownership of future automated driving systems and shifting to the burden and risk of decentralized capital investment. This trend marks a significant shift in the strategic choices of car manufacturers and a year ago. A year ago, most auto makers sought independent development strategies that focused on solving the engineering challenges of driverless car development rather than business cases. A board member from a German car dealer stated: "Although this is a big market, it may not be worth investing a lot of money like this." At present, dozens of companies are competing for the driverless car market, including traditional car companies and technology companies like Google and Uber. According to the consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, by 2030, the proportion of such cars in the European automobile market will be only 10% to 15%. Therefore, there will certainly be losers. John Hoffecker, global vice chairman of AlixPartners, a Michigan consulting firm, points out, “For me, it is unimaginable to have 50 successful driverless car software makers in the future.†In July last year, BMW became the first large-scale automobile manufacturer to abandon independent research and development of driverless cars and establish cooperation with other companies. It chose to hand in the chip maker Intel and the camera and software maker Mobileye, and plans to jointly develop a driverless car technology platform by 2021. The decision was made after BMW executives visited a number of startups and suppliers to evaluate the company’s competitiveness. “When it comes to other companies, some people say the technical challenges and security problems they face, and then you realize that many of us are caught in the same mud.†Klaus, vice president of unmanned BMW project Klaus Buettner told Reuters. "Everyone is investing billions of dollars in R&D. We feel that it is wise to develop some core system platforms through joint cooperation." Three months ago, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz partnered with supplier Bosch. Japanese auto company Honda also expressed its openness to cooperation in the field of driverless cars. Even powerful financial technology companies are cooperating. In May, the San Francisco-based taxi service Lyft and Alphabet’s driverless car department Waymo decided to pool their resources. Sharing the burden of development Semi-automated features have emerged in high-end cars, such as stopping over-line and speed adjustments while driving on freeways. The next stages of automation - "eyes don't have to stare at the road ahead", "doesn't have to concentrate on driving," and eventually fully automated driving - may take years to become reality. At the 2015 CES conference, two people entered the Mercedes-Benz F015 Luxury in Motion driverless concept car Klaus Froehlich, BMW's board member responsible for research and development, said that the company is likely to lose money for its first fully-automated model, just like the first-generation electric car that was developed earlier. . However, in order to maintain its important position in the automotive industry, it is still necessary to develop this technology. "It is an enabling technology, not a business case." He talked about BMW's decision to develop a driverless car, "but if it can share the burden with other companies on a platform, then it has nothing to oppose. ." One of the most lucrative markets that drone technology will open up is on-demand driverless taxis. One day, this type of car may replace ordinary taxis and some of the public transportation systems in big cities. "Robot Taxi" is expected to drive the entire car sharing and taxi market. According to a study released earlier this year by McKinsey & Co., the size of the market reached US$53 billion last year, and it will likely reach 20,000 by 2030. One hundred million U.S. dollars. Ford and General Motors will invest at least $2 billion each to develop self-driving cars for city ride-in and begin operations in 2021. Their competitors include both traditional large companies and start-up companies. The emergence of cooperative alliances involving companies such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz coincided with the need for regulators to set standards for driverless vehicle technology. Boston Consulting Group estimates that this new technology has the potential to improve the car's response capabilities and can reduce traffic accidents by up to 90%. In the opinion of industry experts, this standardization may greatly increase the difficulty of developing differentiated products. Therefore, high-risk single-action strategies are obviously unwise. Alliance and mergers and acquisitions In September 2016, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration aimed at automating the driving of automobiles with a high degree of drive. They urge automakers to disclose how their autoreaction systems work, especially when the car is facing a dilemma, such as a decision to hit a rider or speeding to avoid an accident. The guideline states that “it is important to consider this issue if “automated driving cars†are required to implement specific decision rules in the event of conflicting security, mobility, and legitimacy goals.†"The algorithm for resolving these conflicts should be developed transparently based on feedback from federal, state regulators, drivers, and passengers." For regulatory speeds and distances that driverless cars need to comply with as they move through traffic or join lanes, European regulators are also debating whether to implement standardization. Do not waste the pressure of development costs, and lay the foundation for the establishment of alliances or even mergers for companies that supply a variety of driverless automotive technologies. These companies include manufacturers of automobiles, software, computer chips, radar, cameras, laser sensors, and high-resolution maps. For example, in order to reduce its dependence on Google, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi put aside the competitive relationship between them and jointly acquired the map company HERE. Executives and consultants pointed out that once the next round of investment is over, commercial agreements originally intended to capture market share, similar to code-sharing agreements between airlines, may evolve into M&A transactions. Bill Curtin, director of mergers and acquisitions at Hogan Lovells, an international law firm, said, “Is the scene we see in the aviation industry also appear in the automotive industry? That is, we first saw the various companies establish alliances, cooperation and Consortium, and then see the market fully integrated."
