On November 26, Mr. Barry, founder of ZC, was invited to attend the "Lakeside TECS" technical sharing salon (the fifth session) organized by the Lin'gang New Area Chamber of Commerce. He made a thematic sharing at the event. The event was co - organized by the Lin'gang New Area Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligent Connected Vehicle Innovation Alliance, and was undertaken by the Lin'gang New Area Digital Infrastructure Company and LCN Enterprise Club. It aims to strengthen the industrial layout within the area and improve the commercial transformation rate of emerging technologies.
"Lakeside TECS", as an exchange platform focusing on the cutting - edge technology fields such as intelligent connection, artificial intelligence, large - scale models, digital twins and cross - border data, will continue to strive to build an open and authoritative dialogue space. This session, themed "Domestic Substitution of Automotive Basic Software", attracted technical elites and experts from all walks of life to participate in the event.
ZC was honored to be invited and participated in this event. Mr. Barry, the founder and general manager of ZC, made a thematic sharing for the guests. As the leader of ZC in the field of automotive software, Mr. Barry has a profound industry background and rich practical experience. At the event, he made an in - depth analysis of the core technical bottlenecks faced by China in the field of automotive basic software, including the current situation of operating systems, middleware, control algorithms, etc., and combined with the latest research and development achievements of ZC, he showed the active exploration and remarkable achievements of domestic automotive basic software in technological breakthroughs, product applications and market layout.
This event not only provided the participants with professional knowledge and cutting - edge information in the field of automotive basic software, but also built a communication platform for all parties in the industry, laying a good foundation for the multi - aspect cooperation in the process of automotive software domestication in the future. ZC also looks forward to more similar opportunities in the future to gather with all parties in the industry and jointly plan for development.
