It is not surprising that 360 participates in car building. Since a few years ago, whether it is China, the United States, Internet companies, and technology companies have already contacted the automotive industry in various ways, so the answer to the first question is also expected— —New energy has given Chinese cars the opportunity to change lanes and overtake, and intelligent network connection and software-defined cars have given Internet companies the opportunity to participate in car building.

Zhou Hongyi believes that in the first three industrial revolutions, China either missed or caught up with a small tail. For the first time in the fourth industrial revolution, China had the opportunity to participate in depth and should not be missed. The fourth industrial revolution is digitization. Intelligent connected cars are both the pioneer of digitization and the second half of the Internet.

At the 2021 World Internet Conference Entrepreneur Summit Forum held a few days ago, Zhou Hongyi, founder and chairman of 360 Group, once confessed the company's original intention to build a car. In his view, 360's investment in the automotive industry is based on it as a starting point for cutting into advanced manufacturing and further serving the digital transformation of traditional industries.
