On March 30th, German media reported that experts predicted that the German automobile industry would enter a crisis period this year, and 654.38+million people might be laid off due to the decline in sales and output caused by the novel coronavirus epidemic. It is reported that there is a serious overcapacity problem in the German automobile industry at present, and the surplus figure is expected to reach 654.38+0.3 million-654.38+0.7 million.

According to foreign media reports, at the BMW Owners Forum, it was said that German carmaker BMW seems to be designing a foldable steering wheel for self-driving cars. The patent diagram shows that the steering wheel can be changed from a circle to a football shape (oval). Obviously, the idea of this patent is that through this compact design, once the automatic driving system takes over the driving right, people sitting in the driver's seat can have more room for leg movement. At present, there is no guarantee that this foldable BMW steering wheel will be put into mass production, because automakers usually apply for patents for technologies that may be used one day, but they may be put into mass production many years later or even eventually abandoned. Of course, BMW is tight-lipped about the steering wheel and whether it will appear in the car. However, it shows some lateral thinking about future self-driving cars.
Although it seems far from the point, I still have a dream, in case it comes true.

According to China Chengxin International, about 80% of the automobile production capacity in Hubei Province is concentrated in Wuhan. From the perspective of production capacity distribution, Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Passenger Car and Dongfeng Renault 100% of the production capacity of Dongfeng Motor Group are in Wuhan, while 76% of the production capacity of Shenlong Automobile and 23% of the production capacity of SAIC-GM are in Wuhan. Take Dongfeng Honda as an example. Its three vehicle manufacturers are all located in Wuhan. Starting from the Spring Festival holiday on June 22, 65438, Dongfeng Honda has lost more than 40 working days of production capacity. According to Dongfeng Honda's production and sales plan this year, this is about 654.38+10,000 vehicles, which translates into economic losses, reaching as high as 25 billion yuan. Every day when production stops, the whole Dongfeng Honda loses 500 million yuan more. Earlier, when Beijing Benz asked the government to resume work in advance, it also said that it would lose 400 million yuan if it stopped working for one day. In fact, Dongfeng Motor Group was approved to resume work as early as March 1 1. However, because Wuhan and Hubei are still in a closed state, personnel and logistics have not been opened, so it is impossible to really start construction. According to the data of china automobile dealers association, as of March 17, 2007, the overall efficiency of automobile dealers in China was 58%, while that in Hubei Province was only 38%.
-In the dormant state of Wuhan, most production activities are still waiting for the full restart button to be pressed.
