Augmented reality head-up display technology
Previously, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class unexpectedly completed the world's first show in a dismantling yard. The biggest highlight of this car is not only the vertical big screen, but also the "big pit" in front of the dashboard, which has attracted many speculations.
Some time ago, Mercedes-Benz officials finally unveiled the mystery of the "big pit", which is actually Mercedes-Benz's MBUX system, which first appeared at CES in 20 18. The biggest highlight of the system is the super-large AR-HUD technology.
The picture of HUD consists of two parts, in which the part displaying vehicle information, driving assistance functions such as vehicle speed and road signs is relatively fixed, and the other part is AR navigation dynamically displayed according to the reality of the road ahead. For example, when there is a turning demand ahead, AR-HUD will directly display the guiding arrow extending to the destination road. In addition, when the driver assistance function is turned on, the AR part will also identify the vehicle in front and give lane change and distance tips. This function greatly enhances the functionality of HUD and brings a strong sense of experience.
In fact, Mercedes-Benz is not the first car company to focus on augmented reality HUD technology. Volkswagen ID.3 has also shown similar HUD functions before. As eARly as 20 17, Ali invested in ——WayRay, a company that makes AR-HUD, claiming to be the first company in the world to integrate ar into cars. In addition, auto supplier giants like Continental are also developing AR-HUD.
In fact, the future of AR-HUD is far more than real-life navigation and on-site auxiliary tips. Imagine that in the future, through eye tracking and gesture control, maybe we can control our car like Iron Man.
3D floating liquid crystal instrument
It is also a new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class. In addition to the AR-HUD and vertical large screen, the 3D suspended LCD instrument is also a highlight of the car, which can realize naked-eye 3D visual effects and enhance the display of information. But in fact, the world's first production model equipped with 3D floating LCD instrument has been listed, and as long as it is more than 100,000, it is Peugeot brand-new 2008.
This 3D suspended LCD instrument is also the biggest highlight of the new 2008. Different from the traditional LCD instrument, this 3D instrument actually consists of two LCD screens. 10 inch main screen is normally placed vertically, while there is a 7 inch auxiliary screen on the front upper eaves, which is projected to the driver through the inclined transparent plate. In this way, the information of the sub-screen will overlap with the main screen in a translucent form, forming a naked-eye 3D effect with a certain sense of space. We can also simply understand that a HUD is superimposed on the conventional LCD dashboard.
Compared with the previous AR-HUD, the technology content of 3D suspended LCD instrument is actually not high, but it can bring more cool visual effects and further enhance the driving experience. Nowadays, under the consumption concept of paying more and more attention to experience, 3D suspended LCD instruments really add a lot of sense of technology to cars.
Mobile phone car key
In June this year, Apple held WWDC online for the first time. In addition to the most striking iOS 14, Apple has also brought a number of in-vehicle function updates, including navigation and CarPlay optimization, as well as information about the keys of mobile phones.
Earlier, Apple and BMW announced that they would cooperate with mobile phone keys. Through the U 1 chip built in the mobile phone, the mobile phone can accurately sense the position and space. When approaching the vehicle, you can unlock the vehicle through NFC function. After entering the car, put the mobile phone on the wireless charging board to start the vehicle. So the mobile phone key can completely replace the traditional car key. In addition, users can share the permissions of mobile phone buttons with others through iMessage, and can also set operating permissions such as speed limit. When the mobile phone is lost, users can also turn off the key permissions through iCloud to ensure security.
However, as early as February a few years ago, BYD cooperated with Huawei to release the NFC key, which can also unlock and start the vehicle. At the same time, you can also remotely start and share permissions through the APP, which can also be used when the phone is turned off.
Nowadays, smart phones have almost become a new "organ" of human beings, and the keys of mobile phones will be widely used in the future, and may even be extended to home, security and other fields in the future, but what is more important at present is the construction and formulation of safety, compatibility and industry standards.
Compared with those grand future technologies, these brand-new automobile innovative technologies are closer to us, and each one has great development potential, which can be said to make the automobile travel experience go to a new level. With the gradual popularization and evolution of these technologies in the future, I believe our travel life will be more exciting.
