6) Since the groundbreaking of Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory in January 2019, it has achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1 million vehicles in just 32 months, and from 2 million to 3 million vehicles in just 13 months. This speed is unprecedented worldwide.

Currently, popular technologies and products in the field of intelligent connected vehicles are constantly emerging, including key technologies such as environmental perception and recognition, positioning and navigation, control systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning, communications, and security and privacy protection, as well as innovative products such as smart cockpits, autonomous driving systems, on-board AIOT devices, and lightweight integrated domain control solutions.

Against the backdrop of the rapid development of automotive intelligence, new players are competing in all directions, from intelligent software to hardware, and every detail is crucial. At present, the automotive crystal oscillator market has formed a diversified competitive landscape. Many crystal oscillator manufacturers at home and abroad are actively investing in R&D resources to improve product quality and technical level in order to compete for market share.

As the "heart" of electronic equipment, the stability and accuracy of crystal oscillator products have a decisive impact on the overall performance. In the process of automotive intelligence, crystal oscillator products are not only widely used in vehicle communications, navigation, entertainment and other systems, but also become the key support for core technologies such as intelligent driving and intelligent cockpits.

From the application trend, crystal oscillator products are developing in the direction of miniaturization, high precision and low power consumption. In the field of smart cars, these characteristics are particularly important. Miniaturization can save precious space in the car, high precision can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the intelligent driving system, and low power consumption can help improve the endurance of the whole vehicle. In addition, with the popularization of technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things, crystal oscillator products also need to have stronger compatibility and scalability to meet the needs of future automotive intelligence development.
