At present, the self-sufficiency rate of domestic automotive chips is not even enough for 10%, that is to say, more than 90% of domestic vehicles rely on imports.
2. The requirements of car-gauge MCU for chips are very strict. Under normal circumstances, to enter the automotive field, the International Automotive Electronics Association has launched three standard specifications for vehicle gauge MCUS to ensure the safe operation of automotive electronics.
The three specifications are: AEC-Q100 reliability standard; Compliant with IATF 16949, the Zero Defect supply chain quality management standard; ASIL functional safety assurance level according to ISO26262 standard.
Because the domestic car gauge MCU started relatively late, there is a certain gap with foreign countries, this gap is not only technical, but also patent, market and many other factors jointly determined. Therefore, large car companies will still choose chip giants with more mature and stable technology and stronger production capacity in Europe, the United States and Japan (NXP, Infineon, Renesas Electronics, Texas Instruments and ST).
3, intellectual property protection, technology monopoly, some chip companies can produce chips that meet the standards, but there may be infringement issues involved. Therefore, Chinese companies need long-term manpower and capital investment to innovate and develop chips, and this research and development cycle is very long.
Therefore, the development of China's automotive chip industry has a long way to go, in order to be in a leading position in the high-tech field, only firmly follow the road of independent research and development and technological innovation, the production of higher quality, high standard products, in order to let the chips made in China to the global market.
