OTA 2.0, free hardware upgrade ... Read the article "Ideal autumn communication meeting"

With the completion of Li's listing, the new domestic car-making forces have gradually formed a situation of "three super and one strong", which has become a new head force with ideals and ambitions. The competition between them is from hardware to software. Just after Weilai and OTA both launched more advanced autopilot assistance functions, Li also called an autumn communication meeting, indicating that the next upgrade plan will be released.

Although more advanced driver assistance did not appear, this conference also predicted Weilai OTA? The update details of version 2.0 also announced new driver assistance functions and hardware upgrade plans. Interested friends just take a quick look with Brother Dian.

Software application upgrade

In terms of software applications, OTA? Version 2.0 will be updated online as? Video application optimized and developed by Lee ONE; Gaode map will be upgraded to the latest version 4.6, which has the functions of being familiar with road mode, charging station display and so on. The interactive interface has also been optimized.

This upgrade will also add the function of using vehicles to view the driving recorder, which can be used to browse and sort out the image information of the driving recorder, and at the same time, it can change the recording settings of the driving recorder.

After the upgrade, the mobile phone key will be adapted to more mobile phones, including Mate9, Huawei P40 and Huawei Mate30? Rs, Huawei Mate20x, Huawei Mate? Xs, Mimi? 10, Mimi? 10 commemorative edition, iPhone? 12、iPhone? 12? mini、iPhone? 12? Pro and iPhone? 12? Dear? Maximum.

In addition to some changes in actual functions, Li also optimized the UI design of each screen display of Li Yiji system. Information cards such as tire pressure, weather and back row status are added to the instrument screen, which optimizes the display effect of map cards. The card style of the central control panel has been adjusted, and some cards support sliding up and down to display more information; The following vehicle control screen adds the function of customizing shortcut panel.

Ota? Version 2.0 software is expected to officially start user push at the end of 65438+February in 2020. In 20021year, Li will gradually introduce Baidu map, full-duplex voice and other software and functions to enhance the user experience.

Driver assistance function upgrade

Li completed the software push of V 1.4. 18 on October 30th, 65438, which included adding the early warning function of freight cars. When the user turns on the adaptive cruise or lane keeping function, the system will automatically detect the big truck in front of the vehicle. When the system judges that large trucks are merging and there is a risk of collision, the system will remind the driver to get ready through the images and sounds on the instrument screen.

At this communication meeting, Li Xiang, the ideal founder, stressed that in the short term, Li will not introduce more advanced autopilot assistance functions based on high-precision maps, and will continue to dig deep into the contents of autopilot assistance functions and make the existing autopilot assistance better.

Hardware partial upgrade

Li announced that he had voluntarily "recalled" part of Li ONE, and mainly carried out two hardware upgrades, including the ball pin upgrade of the lower arm of the front suspension and the rear fender upgrade of the chassis. In the future, users will be invited to complete hardware replacement in the order of vehicle delivery, and the upgrade is expected to be completed in the next three months.

Since the first half of 2020, due to the problem that the front suspension was hit and the ball head of the lower arm was separated from the ball pin, Li ONE had many "broken shafts". According to the report released by Li on June 5438+065438+1 October1,Li ONE had 97 front suspension collisions, of which the ball head of the lower arm of the front suspension was separated from the ball pin 10. Through the analysis of every accident that the ball head of the lower arm of the vehicle falls off due to collision, it is found that the ball head of the lower arm of the front suspension falls off from the ball pin due to the great impact on one side of the wheel when the vehicle collides.

Li admitted the problems caused by the design defects, and started to upgrade and replace the problem vehicles free of charge from June 5438+065438+ 10. In order to reduce the probability that the ball head of the lower arm of the front suspension falls off after a vehicle collision accident, Li will upgrade the ball pin of the lower arm of the front suspension produced by Li ONE free of charge on or before June 1 2020 (after June 1 2020, the vehicle has replaced the ball pin with higher falling force).

In addition to the problem of the lower arm of the front suspension, after the delivery of Li ONE, some users reported that the rear fender of the chassis was damaged when passing through the wading road. Li also announced on June 1 65438+1 October1day that it will be June 65438+1October 3 1 day, 2020 (June165438+)

For the above two hardware optimization and upgrade actions, Li will invite users to complete hardware replacement in the order of vehicle delivery, and the upgrade actions are expected to be completed in the next three months.

Sales are increasing, but there are still hidden dangers.

A few days ago, Li also released the delivery data of 10, and Li ONE delivered 3,692 units this month, setting a new monthly sales record. The cumulative delivery volume from 1 to 10 this year is 2 1852, which is between Weilai and Tucki. (Weilai 3 1 10,000, Tucki1.7,000)

By the end of 10, Li had 4 1 retail centers covering 36 cities. Among them, 6 cities including Haikou, Xining, Weifang, Wenzhou, Taizhou and Nantong were added in June 5438+ 10. Before the end of this year, Li's retail centers in Taiyuan, Yantai, Changchun, Baoding, Hohhot, Tangshan, Fuzhou and Jinhua will be opened one after another.

Although the overall upward trend can still be seen from the report card of June 5438+ 10, the pace of ideal innovation can't keep up with competitors in the face of competitors launching new cars one after another and seizing market share in various market segments. Can the practice of relying solely on a single model to support the sales growth of the whole brand last long? It is really worth asking a question here.

You know, in the era of cars and homes, a SEV always runs through the brand from sharp-edged to silent. At that time, people expected cars and homes to bring more new products and inject new vitality. Finally, the car and home let everyone down. Judging from the current news, the ideal next brand-new product is still in the early and middle stages, and it is expected to meet with you in 2022, which means that Li ONE will independently support all sales pressures in Li for at least one year.

Conservatism may be an ideal and valuable quality, but in the rapidly changing new energy vehicle market, missing this opportunity may make it fall behind. On the one hand, in order to seize the market, Tesla gradually lowered the price. On the other hand, two competitors are constantly introducing new models and hard and high-level automatic assisted driving functions. Will conservative ideals repeat the mistakes of "Automobile Times" and "Home Times"? For Li Lai, the next two years will be the time to really test its color, and the drama has just begun.

Editorial comments

If the partners who expect this upgrade to bring more advanced autopilot assistance functions may be disappointed, Li Xiang also made it clear that in the short term, Li will make the autopilot assistance function stronger and better, and will not consider continuing to develop to a higher level for the time being. The other is the hardware upgrade part. Everyone can see that this hardware upgrade is an act of mending after the sheep is dead, but the act of bravely admitting mistakes and correcting them in time is still commendable.

Finally, the software upgrade part. Although Li is still conservative in many aspects, he is indeed ahead of many car companies in car calling software and UI design. After this upgrade, the UI design continued to be optimized, adding popular video software like Bi Li. The overall practicality and usability of the car have been upgraded again, and the four screens are linked, which is really fragrant. Faced with the striding strategy of two competitors, this ideal once again chooses to respond with a conservative attitude. what do you think? (photo/text/photo: all-electric? Luo)
