1. After the Mercedes-Benz basketball superstar Iverson, the lawyer’s letter came.
Recently, a Letter of Attorney Statement addressed to Beijing Mercedes-Benz Sales & Service Co., Ltd. (your company) and Tang Shikai was published online.

It is understood that Screen Vision Information Technology is the exclusive broker manager in China designated by Iverson.

2. Continental and Bosch said that the chip shortage may last until 2021.
Recently, the global supply shortage of semiconductor chips has spread to the automobile industry. Both Mainland China and Bosch, two transnational parts giants, said that there is indeed an overall shortage in the automobile chip market.
Among them, Continental said that although semiconductor manufacturers have responded to the huge demand by expanding production capacity, the current expanded production capacity can only support the next six to nine months, so the potential chip shortage bottleneck may last until 2021.
It is understood that the shutdown of chip assembly plants in Southeast Asia directly affects the supply of semiconductor chips, especially chips in the middle and high-end fields. It is generally believed in the industry that the unexpected recovery of China’s automobile market and the recovery of supply chains such as chips have not been equal. In the second half of this year, the auto market in China recovered obviously, and the market was growing for several months in a row. The auto market showed an unexpected recovery. However, affected by the second wave of COVID-19 epidemic in Europe and Southeast Asia, major chip suppliers have reduced their production capacity or closed their factories one after another, which further aggravated the imbalance between supply and demand of chips.

At the seminar, Kairui Saichi Consulting, one of the organizers, released "Research on Product Experience and User Needs of China Automotive Intelligent Networking-Smart Car Networking App" in view of the current industry trend of "Software-Defined Cars".
This time, 20 mobile apps from 20 mainstream car brands on the market were selected for research. Among them, there are 3 new brands, 7 independent brands, 5 joint venture brands and 5 luxury brands.
In the evaluation of real cars, the industry average is 54.6 points (100%), and the new car-making forces continue to lead, with high functional comprehensiveness and realization, and the performance of independent brands is also better than the average. The disadvantage of luxury brands mainly stems from the lack of comprehensiveness.
Specific to the scoring rate of each module of the real car evaluation, the performance of the new car-making forces in five latitudes can achieve leadership, especially in the operation of social forums. Among the other brands, independent and joint-venture systems have better security performance, but the closed-loop social function of the former is short-board; Luxury brands need to upgrade in many areas.
