Jokes are jokes, things can't be so foolish. Back in the office again, Zhou Shi also sorted out his thoughts.

"I think the research and development of unmanned driving can be done step by step, we can first do advanced driver assistance system ADAS, from safety warning to assistance, to active control, and then to fully autonomous driving. In this way, it can be combined with maps, big data analysis, visual image analysis and artificial intelligence, and can also be combined with chips and car manufacturers to develop a highly intelligent assisted driving system......" Zhou Shi said his thoughts, but he didn't expect to startle everyone again. Giving such a detailed solution in such a short period of time not only does not completely refute Zhou Jingren, but also gives a plausible implementation path.

"Okay! I have no opinion!" Zhou Jingren

"I think it's better to take it one step at a time!"

"As for the future of autonomous driving through environmental perception and high-precision maps, there is no need to rush to conclusions, technological progress may allow us to make better choices. Zhou Shi added that although the ADAS system has not been used, he also understands that the solution of Mobileye, the world's most well-known ASAS company, is much cheaper than Google's driverless driving, and later became a partner of Tesla. Google's driverless cars are also famous, and the most powerful in this area in China may be Baidu, but they do not have the value of large-scale use.

"I'm going to develop ADAS first, and we have an advantage in that. "Zhou Jingren

His words are not wrong, Time acquired AutoNavi Map, Sixiang Fund and SAIC, Geely Automobile and Chery Automobile partnership, so that AutoNavi Map occupies most of the market for GPS navigation of these cars. Moreover, the ImageNet project sponsored by Time Lab has come to fruition, and image recognition and deep learning are about to enter a new era. These are all technology accumulations in the field of unmanned driving.

Zhou Shi didn't dwell on these details with him, "Can our Felix be practical?"

"Yes, it's usufactural. "But we can only recognize Mandarin Chinese and English now, and we are cooperating with iFLYTEK in China and Nuance in the United States." We also have some of our own technology and patent accumulation. At present, the functions supported include setting an alarm clock, querying weather conditions, arranging schedules, texting, making calls, and can also assist with various APPs to play music (time music), query routes (ave maps), locate locations, recommend restaurants (yelp), send Weibo (Twitter and Xinlan Weibo), answer questions (Wikipedia, Zhihu, Google, etc.). ）”

"That's amazing?" exclaimed Pichai

"Of course!" Zhou Jingren replied haughtily

"It seems that the Android upgrade will be implemented soon. "Pichai

MD, Zhou Jingren's pride was suddenly crushed by Pichai, no matter how powerful the AI assistant of Time is, it needs the support of the operating system.

"Simon, there are a couple of companies that want to take a stake in Android. Our previous measures are no longer suitable. "Pichai

"What's the situation now?" Zhou Shi hadn't paid attention to Android for a long time.

"Our shareholders have Guohu, nuts, Huawei, and now Samsung, Nokia has also officially proposed to take shares, Lenovo, Motorola have this intention, if it is distributed according to the proportion of 10%, we may lose the controlling stake. "Pichai

"The controlling stake must be retained, are there any other questions?" said Zhou Shi

"They have their own ideas for Android pre-installed software and want to have more choices about the operating system. "Pichai

"But Android can't be Google's Android by nature! Our purpose is to promote the Android system, and the core of our interests is the Android app market. "Zhou Shi

"I have an idea, that is, we don't want any mobile phone manufacturers to become shareholders of Android, we launched Mitime Mobile Service, which integrates some core functions into the system, such as maps, email, browser, time payment, app store, time cloud synchronization, Felix voice assistant, etc. The Android mobile phones of various manufacturers are given different degrees of certification and authorization, and the mobile phone manufacturers equipped with the Android system are divided into three levels, free to use the Android operating system, but not embedded MMS, embedded part of the MMS service, but the mobile phone can not be marked with the trademark of Time, embedded all MMS services, you can also use our trademark. "Pichai seems to have been thinking about this plan for a long time, and this time he is clearly prepared.

"MMS certification not only expands our customer base, but also promotes our products, and avoids any conflicts of interest. It feels pretty good!"

"We could also integrate search into MMS, which would cost us a lot of money, and apps like YouTube and Facebook could also be considered. "Pichai

"You can search, but you don't need YouTube and Facebook, except for the necessary functions, the rest can be transferred to the mobile phone manufacturers. Regardless of the specific content of MMS certification services, why should they apply for and pass this certification?"

"Most of these software will be essential applications for mobile phones, we can log in to these services with a unified time account, or we can make unauthenticated mobile phones unable to use our services, and we provide security for the APP in the time application market, which other mobile phone manufacturers may not have this ability. Not all mobile phone manufacturers can have this certification, it will become a symbol of strength, as long as consumers recognize this certification, other mobile phone manufacturers can only give in. "Pichai

"In this way, the open source and promotion of the operating system, as well as our interests, can be better realized. It's just that how to communicate with the three companies that have already invested is a problem, and they may not be willing to give up this part of the benefits. "Pichai

"This is really a problem!" did Zhou Shi force the husks and nuts to agree

"And if there are other companies, the interests within the company are not well coordinated. How the APP built into the MMS service pays or does not pay for the Android system is a big problem. "Pichai

"I didn't think it through at the time, I really shouldn't have made such a mistake. "Zhou Shi

"At the time, we didn't even think about the situation now...... "Pichai

"Okay, wrong is wrong, what do you think about Android's launch of the MMS service and the recovery of the outflow?"

"That sounds great, but the specifics of the process need to be discussed. "Zhou Jingren

"Of course, I know that the interests of various departments within the company also need to be coordinated, and which APP is the core also needs to be discussed. "Pichai

Google GMS is the soul of Android, I don't know when it appeared, but Time GMS began to take off under the impetus of Pichai. This may be the starting point for Time Android to take off!
