 CLAY CHANDLER: You're the only new electric vehicle that enables not only being charged by the grid but also distributing power back into the grid as well. And why is that, and why is that important? FREEMAN SHEN: Well, exactly we announced with a big cooperation, with State Grid China, it's a technology we derived called V2G, vehicle to grid. If you're looking the grid companies not only in China globally, they're always struggling with how much they're going to invest and how to balance the peak season and the lowest season every day, and you don't do the peek because he's going to waste a lot of your money, but you don't do the low because it means people cannot get electricity the way they need it. In their mindset, which is exactly to what we were thinking two years ago when we started the project, if you have millions to put motor vehicle on the roll you will naturally helping them to balance you know when we need the power we can take it from the grid, when the grid was needed a power we can use the vehicle feedback the electricity back to the grid. With the mechanism to motivate the user willing to do so. CLAY CHANDLER: So does that help bring prices down in some way for consumers? FREEMAN SHEN: Definitely, I think that it's not only dramatically reduced the cost of using the electric vehicle helping the grid company to reduce the capital investment significantly, but also that if you drive more there might be a chance you make some money out of that. CLAY CHANDLER: That's kind of a cool model. FREEMAN SHEN: Yes. Exactly. So it is not only a transportation tool, it is again, it is an actually vehicle, and then it is smart terminal, it is also a Paul band helping the user had a different way to have a better experience but also there's a mechanism of how we're to motivate. CLAY CHANDLER: And tell us how 5G is a factor in all that. FREEMAN SHEN: We're so exciting on that, we're working on this project and two years ago we hope we can become one of the first technology start-up company can launch a 5G car on the road. You know the 4G it's like you're driving on the high speed interstate highway, and then 2G it's like you're driving a country road. But 5G is like you're driving an airplane, people talking about speed, people talking about if you're using the mobile phone, PC, computer you have a better user experience, but remember this only improve your user experience. The 5G application in the car is that and it's at that and like leaf it is a safety issue. So because when you do a 5G car you want to use a 5G technology to improve the autonomy drive. If you don't have 5G the car either is it's not safe to drive. So it's a bad and live issues, it is safety issues, it's not only improved user experience. So that's why I think the 5G application in other industry, other product it's fine, it make you feel better, but in our industry it is make you more safe, may you survive if you to go-- really want to go to this autonomy drive vehicles. If you don't have 5G you just cannot make it. CLAY CHANDLER: Does it make it easier for you to have upgrades for the software of the vehicle? FREEMAN SHEN: Definitely. When you're doing the smart vehicle what we are working on it's always struggling, you know where you're going to put this competing power either local, on the cloud and then you need a strong connection between them. Obviously the 5G provide a better speed, 100 times faster a much lower delay, probably 100 times better. The delay will make the experience of the autonomy drive very different, safety issue, and then the bandwidth is much better. So those features 5G can provide will make the autonomous drive vehicle, will make the-- we call the smart copy in a safer way and much more better customer experience.

How 5G Will Power Self-Driving Technology

A long-term auto executive shares his perspective on how 5G will make self-driving cars safer. (November 2019)

the way, you're the only of new electric vehicle that enables not only being charged by the grid but also distributing power back into the grid. A cz Well, why is that and why is that important? Exactly? We announced with the cooperation with the state on a great China. It's a technology with Coby to G vehicle to greet if you're looking the think the great Cos not only in China globally they always struggling with how much they're going to be met and how to balance the pick season and the low season every day. And you don't do the pick because he's gonna waste a lot of money. But you don't do the low because it means people cannot get an attorney where they need it in their mind set, which exactly to what we thinking two years ago, when we started project. If you have millions of motor vehicle on the role, you will, naturally helping them to balance. You know, when we went, uh, when we need the power and take it from the great when the great was needed, a power we can use the vehicle back to the electricity back to greet with the mechanism. Thio motivate the user willing to do so. Does that help bring prices down in some way for consumers? Hope definitely. I think that it's not only dramatically reduced a cost, using the vehicle, helping the great company to reduce the capital investments difficulty but also that, uh, if you drive more, they might be a chance. You make some money out of that? Wow, that's that's kind of a cool model. Yes, exactly. So it is. It is not only a transportation tool, it is again director vehicle and that it is marked, um, you know, it is also Paul Van helping the user had a different way to have a bad experience. Also, that can it help you to motivate and tell us how how five G is a factor and all that were so exciting on there were working on this project two years ago. We hope we can become one of the first ah technology start company can launch a five car on the road. You know, the the 40. It's like you're driving on the high speed interstate highway and then to defeat like a charming country road five feet, like a private airplane. You know people talking about speed, people talking about using the mobile phone PC computer. You have a president user experience. But remember this only in popular use experience. The five applications in the car that and it's a debt and, like leave idiots safety issues. So because when you do a five car, you wantto use the technology to improve the economy drive. If you don't have five G, the car, it's not safe. Drop that and leave issues its safety issues. It's not only improved our use experience, so that's why I think the the party application in other industrial product. It's fine. It make you feel better. But, you know, industry, it is make you more safe. May you'll survive if you want to go. Really want to go to hell Apartment drive vehicles. If you don't have five G, you just cannot make it. Doesn't make it easier for you to, uh, you know, have upgrades for the software of definitely that anyone. When you're doing the, uh, smart vehicle, what we are walking on, it's always struggling. You know where you're going to put this company in power in the local, on the crowd and you need a strong connection between them. You know, obviously, the five D provide a better speed 100 times faster. Ah, much lower delay. Probably 100 times better. The delay will Will will make the experience off the economy drive very different safety issue, right. And then the brand with its much better. So those features five she can provide will make the apartment drive vehicle will make the call. Um, the smart copy, you know, a safer way and much more better customer experience.
