Original title: From "wild growth" to "regularization", intelligent connected vehicles place higher demands on professional talents
Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the National Bureau of Statistics jointly released 19 new occupations, among which intelligent networked vehicle testers and intelligent networked vehicle assembly and operation personnel were officially included in the official occupation list. It is reported that this is the only one in which two new occupations of the same category are included in the list.
In recent years, the market penetration rate of intelligent connected vehicles has increased rapidly, but due to the short development time, there is a general lack of professional intelligent connected vehicle-related personnel in the market to meet the rapidly growing consumer market demand. With the "regularization" of professional identities related to intelligent connected vehicles, this situation is expected to be completely broken.
New careers in the hottest industries
Nowadays, intelligent networked vehicles have become the main choice of the consumer market. According to statistics from the China Intelligent Networked Vehicle Industry Innovation Alliance, last year, my country's sales of intelligent networked passenger vehicles with combined assisted driving functions reached 9.953 million, with a market penetration rate of 47.3%.
In the new car market, smart connected cars have become popular in the consumer market due to their close adherence to user needs and their frequently used and updated Internet attributes. For example, the assisted driving system equipped in smart connected cars can provide drivers with multiple options such as automatic parking, lane keeping, and following the vehicle in front during driving, and is deeply loved by young consumer groups.
However, as the development speed of intelligent connected vehicles has greatly exceeded expectations, in order to seize the development opportunities, major automobile companies are generally faced with the problem of shortage of professional and technical personnel in the field of intelligent connected vehicles. In order to solve this problem, some companies can only choose to let personnel who are not in this technical field "switch to this field" after a little training. However, from the perspective of long-term development, this approach is not the right solution.
"Intelligent networked vehicle testers and intelligent networked vehicle installation and operation and maintenance personnel have been listed as new occupations by relevant departments, which is undoubtedly good news for the development of the industry." Angel investor and senior artificial intelligence expert Guo Tao said in an interview with the China Consumer Newspaper reporter that as an emerging field, the increase in market penetration of intelligent networked vehicles has directly led to an urgent need for relevant professional talents. The introduction of two new occupations in the intelligent networked vehicle industry reflects the dual promotion of market demand and technological progress.
Public information shows that intelligent connected vehicle testers are personnel who use tools, gauges, testing instruments and equipment to perform functional verification and testing on intelligent connected vehicles and related components. The main tasks of this profession include: researching and formulating intelligent connected vehicle test plans and programs, collecting intelligent connected vehicle road test data, testing the whole vehicle or components, and writing test reports. Intelligent connected vehicle assembly and maintenance personnel are personnel who use special equipment, tools, and instruments to assemble, debug, test, joint debug, status monitor, and operate and maintain intelligent connected vehicles and roadside equipment. Their main tasks are to assemble, debug, test, joint debug, inspect, maintain, calibrate, and diagnose faults on intelligent connected vehicles.
Guo Tao pointed out that intelligent connected vehicle testers and installation and maintenance personnel play a vital role in the development of intelligent connected vehicles. Intelligent connected vehicle testers are responsible for comprehensive performance testing of vehicles to ensure the stability and safety of vehicles in various environments and conditions. Intelligent connected vehicle installation and maintenance personnel are responsible for the assembly, commissioning and maintenance of vehicles to ensure the daily operation and troubleshooting of vehicles. The clear division of labor between these two professions will help improve the overall quality and maintenance efficiency of intelligent connected vehicles.
Promote the healthy development of the industry
The reporter noticed that in recent years, many automakers have repeatedly announced product recalls due to technical defects in their smart connected cars. This year alone, many well-known automakers have recalled products due to such problems.
On February 23, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recalled some imported Model S, Model X and domestic Model 3 electric vehicles. The reason for the recall was that due to software problems, the communication of the rear camera integrated circuit was unstable, which may cause the reversing image to be unable to be displayed, thereby affecting the driver's field of vision when reversing, increasing the risk of vehicle collision, and posing safety hazards; on May 17, Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. recalled some second-generation CS55PLUS vehicles. The reason for the recall was that due to the deviation of the infotainment control unit software, the image display of the 360° surround camera may be abnormal, thereby affecting the driver's field of vision when reversing, increasing the risk of vehicle collision, and posing safety hazards. On August 6, because after the front trunk lid was unlocked, the front trunk latch assembly system may not detect that the front trunk lid is unlocked, and the vehicle cannot issue a "front trunk is not locked" prompt. In extreme cases, the front trunk lid may be opened when the vehicle is driving, affecting the driver's field of vision and increasing the risk of vehicle collision. Tesla Motors once again announced the recall of some imported Model S, Model X and domestic Model 3, Model Y electric vehicles.
"The introduction of these two new professions shows that the national level has recognized the importance of the job functions of professional testers and installers and operators in the field of intelligent connected vehicles." Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with a reporter from China Consumer News that the emergence of these two professions will help improve the overall quality and service level of intelligent connected vehicles, reduce consumer complaints and disputes caused by product quality issues, and further promote the healthy development of the market.
What will be the next new profession?
The industry believes that as the pace of automobile transformation continues to accelerate, more and more related practitioners will be included in the list of "new occupations" in the future.
The reporter noticed that while the 19 new occupations were released, additional new job types were also announced. Among them, the "salesman" occupation was added with two new job types: "auto parts sales manager" and "after-sales service manager". This means that specialization will become the breakthrough direction of the automotive aftermarket.
It is reported that the automotive aftermarket covers all kinds of services that consumers need from car purchase to scrapping, including car repair, parts replacement and second-hand car trading, etc., and has huge market development potential. But at the same time, consumers' awareness and trust in the automotive aftermarket need to be improved, and the industry needs to strengthen self-discipline and standardization to improve its overall image.
A survey by the China Automobile Dealers Association found that the automobile after-sales service reputation index fell month-on-month in July, with the three dimensions of service facilities, service consultants and maintenance quality all declining to varying degrees.
How to provide a better after-sales service experience for the consumer market has attracted much attention from the consumer market. Referring to the standardized development of the new car market, the development of the automotive aftermarket also requires the participation of more professional talents. The reporter learned from the after-sales service department of a certain independent brand that the job responsibilities of auto parts sales managers are not only responsible for the sales and promotion of the company's accessories products, but also focus on product technology-related training for consumers, including properly handling the "three guarantees" problems of products in the operation process.
Wang Peng said that by establishing new professional standards and norms, the supervision of automobile production and sales will be strengthened. At the same time, the participation of professional technicians will inevitably improve the overall service level of the automobile industry, thereby reducing consumer complaints and disputes caused by product quality problems and improving consumers' trust and satisfaction with the automobile consumer market.
