• As a convenient function, digital keys have been competitively laid out by multiple OEMs such as Changan, Chery, Geely, and BESTUNE.

Trends of Intelligent Cockpit Patents

Intelligent cockpit acts as the core carrier for users to perceive vehicles. In its future development, more attention will be paid to technology integration, user experience, and ecosystem construction.

Technology Integration: Intelligent cockpits are deeply integrated with technologies such as autonomous driving, the Internet of Vehicles, and AI, gradually breaking down the computing power barriers (e.g., cockpit-driving integration), time-space barriers (e.g., the Internet of Vehicles, satellite communication, V2X), and function barriers (e.g., scenario linkage), realizing functional collaboration, and enabling full-scenario coverage of cockpit services.

Enhanced User Experience: User experience gets improved by personalized and customized services and scenario-based applications. For example, accurate user identification is achieved through multi-modal perception, and the cockpit environment is adjusted according to the user's status and emotion. Based on user profile and historical data, proactive content and service recommendations are provided to achieve a personalized and customized experience. For the functional requirements in different scenarios such as rest mode, sightseeing mode, office mode, and child-care mode, multiple functions are linked to achieve convenient operation and an immersive user experience.

Integration of Intelligent Cockpit and Intelligent Driving

The development of AI has achieved fruitful results in both intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit. However, the current isolated design cannot integrate different sensors, and there is still a long way to go for cross-domain integration. In current stage, the integration of intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving mainly stays at the simple domain information interaction level, where intelligent driving scenarios need to be displayed through the cockpit, or driving and riding instructions are transmitted through the cockpit. Baidu and Changan among others have taken important steps towards the integration of intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving based on business needs.

Integration of Intelligent Cockpit and AI Technology

Intelligent cockpit is evolving from `function stacking` to `cognitive hub`. The deep integration with AI technology is reconstructing the human-vehicle interaction model. With the application of AI foundation models, the intelligent, proactive, and emotional experience of cockpit interaction is further enhanced. Intelligent cockpits tend to offer simpler functions and easier operation with the support of AI foundation models.

Scenario-based Application Trends of Intelligent Cockpit

Scenario-based application is one of the core development directions of intelligent cockpits. Its essence is to transform the vehicle into a `third living space` that can actively perceive, understand, and respond to user needs through the collaboration of software and hardware.

The scenario-based functions of intelligent cockpits mainly involve three aspects: Firstly, scenario definition: by combining users' functional requirements with real-time scenarios, provide active control of the hardware system; secondly, dynamic scenario switching: support users to customize trigger conditions (e.g., temperature and time) and automatically link hardware modules like air conditioner and seat; thirdly, emotional interaction: through fuzzy intention recognition (e.g., `It's stuffy in the car`) and edge learning, realize natural interaction in specific scenarios.
