It’s called OS’Car literally operating system for automobile, the new platform that the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has created together with SAIC Motor (the car manufacturer China’s largest) for the Roewe SUV RX5, to debut these days on the Chinese market. Based on the mobile operating system Yunos (the third in the world after Google’s Android and Apple iOS), OS’Car is optimized for the automotive industry, therefore, not only for Roewe … How?
So evolve the ‘connected car’
Jack Ma, Executive Chairman of Alibaba, so he answers: “With OS’Car will make the car a basic element of human life, even more than it has been so far, but especially in a broader sense. The car will come fully in the Internet of Things “. For this reason and after two years of intense development, Roewe RX5 is constantly supported by a “cloud” platform that allows streaming of data, providing a new driving experience. Concretely, OS’Car gives a precise localization and “millimeter” without the use of WiFi and GPS, for example by increasing the zoom navigator based on the car’s speed. Then there are four cameras mounted in the passenger compartment, through which “capture” snapshots of the trip and share them on social (as the new Citroen C3, but the room has only one); There are three built-in touchscreen, mirrors intellgenti and much more.
Roewe RX5 was presented at the Beijing Motor Show in April 2016, and to see it, it’s embarrassing: it seems a bit ‘Volkswagen Tiguan (in front) and a little’ BMW X1 (behind): actually the Roewe RX5 is much more.
The car now changes. Really
As already written, it is first the first SUV produced jointly by SAIC Motor – the largest automotive manufacturer in China – and by Alibaba, the e-commerce giant. RX5 is above all a sign that European carmakers, American, Korean and Japanese will soon also beware of Chinese competition and that there is not much time to figure out what to do against Google and Apple and, more generally , the hi-tech giants; should be found as soon as possible ways to work together, perhaps as FCA has decided to do with Google, at the cost that is to give up something of their data.
