OPPO has applied for many patents for autonomous driving. Is it necessary to switch to cars?

According to the abstract of the patent, the patent provides a method, a device, vehicle-mounted equipment and a storage medium for collision avoidance reminding, wherein the method comprises the following steps: a first vehicle obtains the distance between the first vehicle and a second vehicle in front; Jud whether that vehicle distance is less than a first preset threshold; If the distance is less than the first preset threshold, the first vehicle sends the distance to its second vehicle through the optical fidelity LiFi communication component, so that the second vehicle can generate the first anti-collision reminder information according to the distance.

The driver can be reminded when two cars approach under bad conditions such as night, fog, heavy rain and no street lights. Because of the low time extension of LiFi communication, drivers can be reminded in time when two vehicles are too close or driving too fast, so as to avoid traffic accidents and ensure the driving safety of vehicles.

OPPO's second patent is "ranging device, ranging method, camera and electronic equipment". The publication number is cn112147622a.

According to the patent abstract, the application discloses a ranging device, a ranging method, a camera and electronic equipment. The ranging device comprises a light source, a beam splitter, a lens group including at least one dispersive lens, a first light limiter and a spectral sensor; The light source is used for emitting detection light with a set wave band; The spectroscope is used for transmitting the detection light;

The lens group is used for dispersing the transmitted light transmitted from the beam splitter to the lens group, so as to focus the light with different wavelengths to different positions; A first light limiter having a light-transmitting region allowing the first reflected light to pass through; The first reflected light represents the reflected light generated on the second surface when the second reflected light is transmitted from the lens group to the second surface of the beam splitter.

The second reflected light represents the reflected light generated by focusing the light on the surface of the measured object; The spectrum sensor is used for outputting first information when receiving the first reflected light; The first information at least indicates the light intensity corresponding to the wavelength of the first reflected light, and the first information is used to determine the distance between the light source and the measured object.

In fact, OPPO has always had reservations about building cars.

Chen Mingyong, the founder of OPPO, once said: "OPPO has only two possibilities, one is not to build a car, the other is to build a car, and only do what you are good at, not build your own car. If the automobile industry can't make a good car in the next decade, OPPO may build a car, but it is impossible at present. "

It can be seen from Chen Mingyong's statement that although OPPO has no plans to become an automobile company at present, they have actually maintained a certain interest in the automobile industry.

It is also speculated that OPPO may, like Huawei, use these published patents for the research and development of autonomous vehicle central control systems and related technologies to help traditional car companies further enhance their software experience.
