"Mountains and seas" have a specific connotation in Chinese civilization, with high mountains and wide seas. The attitude of mountains and seas is a calm and confident state and belief. Nezha Automobile named the new platform "Shanhai", which means that in the era of rapid development of new energy automobile industry, it will welcome the future stars and seas with this attitude!
On February 28th, 2022, Nezha Automobile held "Netalks" media exchange meeting in Beijing. At this meeting, Nezha Automobile announced the intelligent driving system TA Pilot, and mentioned for the first time that Nezha Automobile will cooperate with Huawei, which will soon become the first intelligent driving mass production scheme equipped with Huawei MDC platform and OEM software self-developed mode.
Why is it named "TA Pilot"?
TA is taken from the suffix NETATA of the English name of Nezha Automobile, and is also taken from the natural prefix, literally translated as a talented navigator.
TA pilots will be fully armed, and Nezha will be fully armed.
At this exchange meeting, Nezha Automobile said that the intelligent driving system TA Pilot will be installed in the whole product line, and TA Pilot 2.0, TA Pilot 3.0, TA Pilot 4.0 and TA Pilot 5.0 will be adopted according to different models.
The mass-produced Nezha U (parameter | quotation) series /V series and subsequent models have been deployed with TA? A pilot? 2.0 and 3.0, and TA? A pilot? 4.0 will be mass-produced on Nezha S, which will be listed at the end of this year. And 1000+ top-matched full-sTAck self-developed ta? A pilot? 5.0 is still under development.
Is the core configuration of TA Pilot 4.0 really reliable?
As mentioned earlier, TA Pilot 4.0 will be mass-produced on Nezha S, which will be launched at the end of this year. TA Pilot 4.0 adopts Huawei MDC6 10 chip, and its computing power can reach 200TOPS. In terms of hardware configuration, two solid-state laser radars will be used; 1 1 auxiliary driving camera, including 2 forward 8M cameras, 4 panoramic cameras and 5 panoramic cameras; Five millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors.
According to the information I have at present, most models on the market are at least 400TOPS, and what's more, they almost reach the computing power of 1000TOPS. So TA Pilot 4.0 uses Huawei's MDC6 10 chip, and its computing power can reach 200TOPS?
In view of this problem, the explanation work was carried out on the spot. Wang Junping, vice president of Nezha Automotive Intelligence Research Institute, said that from the overall environment, many smart cars have excessive computing power, and these costs are also shared with consumers. Although Nezha's computing power is lower than other brands, it still has a high cost performance, and it can be upgraded through OTA in the later period. Another purpose of choosing Huawei is to support the development of domestic chips.
The author believes that if consumers trust and choose to apply intelligent assisted driving, they definitely want their cars to have higher computing power when driving on actual roads. After all, "spending money to buy safety" may be the cognition of most consumers at present. If Nezha TA Pilot can really reach a higher level of strength and be widely recognized in the later actual combat, it will have to wait for our later evaluation.
Based on the above, the product function development of Nezha automobile in the future can realize NNP- Nezha intelligent navigation assistance, NTP- Nezha memory parking and NCP- Nezha city navigation.
On the eve of this exchange meeting, Nezha Auto officially announced the latest information of its new model Nezha S. It is reported that the new car will be launched in pure electric version and extended range version, in which the extended range version NEDC can reach 1 100km. In addition, the new car is also equipped with a self-developed HozonEPT4.0 constant temperature thermal management system, which effectively improves the cruising range by 20%.
It is understood that Nezha S will be equipped with a new generation of self-developed HozonEPT4.0 constant temperature thermal management system, which is an integrated thermal management system based on a highly integrated water source heat pump. Through the thermal management of the whole vehicle, the thermal management of the passenger compartment, battery, electric drive and electronic components is opened to ensure the performance and safety of the vehicle. Realize the concentration of physical part and control part of all components, reduce the number of integral pipelines by 40%, improve the reliability by 50%, and reduce the working range of heat pump to-18℃.
In addition, Nezha S is equipped with an intelligent dual-zone air conditioner, which can automatically calculate the wind direction adjustment mode according to the ambient temperature, electric driving temperature, battery core temperature and other conditions, and according to the temperature difference between the main/auxiliary driving target temperature of the air conditioner and the ambient temperature. During driving at -20℃ and 40km/h, the car can reach a comfortable temperature within 65,438+00 minutes.
In terms of power, Nezha S is designed with front and rear double motors, with a peak power of 340kW. In addition, the new car will be launched in two power versions, the extended range version and the pure electric version. The cruising range of the pure electric version NEDC is 7 10km, and the extended range version is 1 100km.
Huawei provides hardware support, while Nezha conducts self-developed software. 1+ 1 may be greater than 2?
The cooperation and division of labor are clear, Huawei provides hardware support, and Nezha Intelligent Driving Team conducts self-research on the software level. Then why are more and more OEMs in Nezha doing full-stack self-research? It can be said that the traditional automobile ecology cannot provide good intelligence and driving experience. Everyone on the smart track is at the same starting line, and a new power enterprise like Nezha Auto can be said to be in a better era. It is true that only self-study can make our own way.
When it comes to the demand for intelligent driving, the trend of younger consumer groups is becoming more and more obvious. Today's young people can be said to be aborigines in the era of "intelligence", and the requirements for intelligent experience are getting higher and higher. It is increasingly important to quickly respond to user needs and improve the intelligent driving experience. Intelligent driving is a long-term track. In order to adapt to the characteristics of long-term rapid iteration, the full-stack self-research method can ensure the rapid iteration of products, form long-term system capacity accumulation, and finally provide customers with a leading and safe driving experience.
What other car companies are cooperating with Huawei?
According to Huawei's current market position and strength, many car companies are or intend to cooperate with Huawei in depth. The cooperative models include Huawei's HI version of Alfa S, Cyrus' SF5 and the recently popular AITO M5.
Alfa S HI version is equipped with Huawei ADS full-stack autopilot solution and HarmonyOS OS intelligent interconnection system. Tianjie SF5 adopts the dual-power four-wheel drive power combination of Tianjie SEP200 motor and Huawei DriveONE three-in-one electric drive, and is equipped with technologies such as Huawei HiCar Full Scene Intelligent Interconnection System and Huawei Sound audio. AITO Wenjie M5 is the first mass-produced SUV equipped with the latest HarmonyOS system and many intelligent solutions from Huawei. At the same time, Huawei has invested in many ways to carry out the direct sales model of Huawei's offline flagship store.
In the intelligent driving scheme adopted by Nezha Automobile, the cooperation boundary is clear, Huawei provides hardware support, and the software level is Nezha.
