The term software definition seems to apply to cars as well. In fact, the car itself has long been inseparable from the control of software. The software changes not only the car itself, but also the great change in the way we travel. It is foreseeable that the next car revolution is approaching.

From a technical point of view, what happens to road traffic is similar to circuit switching to packet switching. In the world of automatic cars on demand, you don't have to worry about parking, but the space required for transportation has also increased. In fact, road traffic will get better, so the demand for road space may be reduced. An unmanned vehicle will not collide when it is on the street. When some or all of the roads are unmanned vehicles, the traffic flow optimization of the city's on-demand service unmanned vehicles is based on where the cars are now and dozens of After a minute you want them to optimize traffic, travel time and waiting time.

Smartphones have surpassed PCs in terms of device capacity, installed capacity, and user volume, becoming a dominant ecosystem. However, the market size of mobile phones has always been larger than PCs, and turning them into software is only a matter of time. What other manufacturing products are likely to be taken over by technology in the same way and offer the same scale of opportunity? It seems that the car seems to be the only option.

After moving to San Francisco last year, I bought a 2009 used car, which reminds me of the time when I used Nokia phones in 2002 - it was a perfect feature phone until they started adding smart apps badly. . Many of these devices are like this. First, the UI is optimized, and then new features are added slowly. Each function is meaningful in its own right, but it is a burden on the whole. Until you can't get out of the multi-purpose quagmire, you can't do anything. Nokia has failed so much. It can be said that Japan's consumer electronics industry is also the same, and may include many other products, and now it is the turn of the car.

So, now we can easily compare a car to a smartphone - to some extent. And it seems that the right way to do a car should be through software companies rather than engineering companies, the industry should be driven by software-driven equipment, rather than the lifestyle of your car every 10 years. As far as adding intelligence to a car, it really should come from a smartphone, and the car dashboard itself should be a "dumb panel", just like a connected TV. In this way, there is no limit to entertainment and navigation, and adding intelligence to driving control and display is a valuable place. This could be Apple's CarPlay or Google's Android Auto, or a common standard. Uber's important software is in the driver's iPhone, and the important software users of the unmanned car are simply invisible. The user will only sit in the car and send a message to introduce the traffic situation, which will trigger a new second-order effect - if everyone does not drive by themselves, what impact will it have on the wireless use of the Internet or broadcasting?
