Founded in 2014, Shenzhen Companion Technology Co., Ltd. is a domestic intelligent cockpit integrated solution and Internet of Vehicles ecological operation service provider. Based on artificial intelligence and big data, the company provides comprehensive solutions for intelligent cockpit and connected vehicle ecology for automotive front-end car companies, modification markets and industry customers, and works with upstream and downstream industry chain partners to build a leading automotive intelligence and digital service platform for car owners.
The initial goal of Companion was to develop the best intelligent vehicle terminal system. Research and development of intelligent voice in in-vehicle scenarios, liberating the hands of car owners and responding to requests. With the continuous development, it has gradually opened up three major markets of after-wear, front-end and overseas. In the early stage of entrepreneurship, the companions locked in the huge domestic modified car market, and provided first-class intelligent cockpit software and customization services for customers in the modified market. The companion intelligent cockpit software has advanced technology, complete functions, accurate navigation of driving routes, easy selection of songs, smooth pick-up, and even the ability to speak and command to send and receive WeChat messages, etc., which are very popular with car owners. The cumulative number of after-installation users of the companions has reached 50 million+, the number of new users has increased by nearly 10 million every year, and the average annual mileage is nearly 18 billion kilometers (after-installation), and the market share is far ahead, which is the core driving force for the development of the automobile modification industry, and is known as the king of the modification market. In 2017, Peer entered the front-end market, committed to helping traditional car companies catch up with and surpass the new forces of car manufacturing, creating an intelligent cockpit experience that benchmarks first-line new energy vehicle companies, and serving customers of major car companies. At present, the companion has established cooperation with 20+ well-known car companies. The intelligent cockpit software is installed into the new car, so that the owner can enjoy the ultimate intelligent cockpit experience when he buys the car. Started in 2019. Companions have also begun to go overseas for global layout, and their products have been exported to dozens of countries, opening a new chapter.
Over the past decade, smartphones have reshaped the way we live. In the next decade, automobiles will serve as new data centers and portals, opening up various scenarios and reconstructing all aspects of the automobile-related industry chain. As soon as the owner gets in the car, he can get answers to all the problems he may encounter as long as he puts forward ideas. Since the advent of the Internet, there have been two super terminals, namely personal computers and mobile phones, and the third super terminal is the car. On the one hand, the reason why cars can become super terminals is because of the increasing number of cars (according to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Security, as of the end of September 2023, the number of motor vehicles in the country has reached 4.).300 million, including 3 cars300 million, 18.21 million new energy vehicles; Motor vehicle driver 5200 million people, including 4 car drivers800 million people. ）
On the other hand, as the operating system of the car becomes more and more intelligent, the car has become a super network mobile terminal. Peers believe that intelligence is not a patent that can only be enjoyed by new energy vehicles, and all cars need it, including fuel vehicles. It includes both the new car market and the stock car market. In addition to providing first-class intelligent cockpit solutions to car companies in the front installation, the companion also introduces the front-installed intelligent cockpit experience into the modification market, which can upgrade traditional fuel vehicles to smart cars at low cost. For example: smart large screen, intelligent control, mobile phone key, remote car control, 360 panorama, ultimate audio, etc. In the intelligent cockpit business, the peer has four major advantages. Product technical advantages: In the past ten years, peers have invested hundreds of millions of yuan in research and development, and already have leading intelligent cockpit full software capabilities; Advantages of integration of the whole industry chain: Peer has been deeply cooperating with hundreds of industrial partners for nearly ten years, and has the ability to define products, research and development and resource integration of fully intelligent cockpits; Advantages of user scale: At present, there are more than 58 million car owners, which brings rich data to peers, which helps to meet user needs more accurately and provide personalized services; Channel advantages: Peer currently has channel resources that can reach nearly 200,000 offline stores and online traffic resources of more than 100 million car owners, which can reach car owners at low cost, high efficiency and accuracy.
Companions are establishing a service platform for the Internet of Vehicles, which is user-centric, experience-oriented, service-oriented, and has embarked on the road of commercialization of the Internet of Vehicles. Companions divide the commercialization of the Internet of Vehicles into three sections: car entertainment, car consumption, and car life. Car entertainment includes listening to radio news, appreciating, listening to voice and car navigation, etc., which is an indispensable spiritual and cultural enjoyment for car owners who spend three or four hours in the car every day; Car consumption integrates refueling and charging, vehicle maintenance and repair, obstacle accident rescue, second-hand cars, car insurance services, etc.; Car life is to provide more comprehensive, high-quality, one-stop intimate services for motorists, including car clubs, peripheral tours, scenic spot introductions, restaurant recommendations, accommodation arrangements, and even e-commerce shopping.
In terms of ecological resources, Peer has established close long-term cooperative relations with dozens of leading Internet ecological partners.
As a peer technology, the R&D and service business is a market segment in the Internet of Vehicles. The Internet of Vehicles will become a super terminal that can be placed alongside PCs and mobile phones. It's a track full of opportunities, and it's worth investing in and starting a business. We believe that in the next 5 to 10 years, the entire industrial chain and service system around cars and car owners will be restructured, and the tuyere has appeared, and whoever seizes this trend will be able to win the future.
As of December 2023, Companion Technology has served 20+ well-known car companies, 200+ model projects, 5800w+ car owners, nearly 10 million monthly active users, an average annual mileage of more than 20 billion kilometers, and more than 8.1 billion voices.

He has submitted more than 50 invention patents, and has been rated as a national-level specialized and new "little giant" enterprise and one of the top 50 leading enterprises in strategic emerging industries in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The development of peer technology is a microcosm of China's development, making China's "car family" a big family of peers.
2023 is the first year of artificial intelligence, and mankind has officially entered the era of artificial intelligence. Peers will comprehensively upgrade their products and services, fully embrace artificial intelligence, continue to give full play to their technological advantages, increase R&D investment, and continuously launch innovative products and technologies to maintain competitive advantages.
