Huawei has cooperated with the largest new energy automobile company in China! # Highlights of digital technology #
Recently, Internet manufacturers have made a lot of noise in building cars, and both Xiaomi and Baidu have announced that they will build cars; No, Huawei has come to join in the fun. On April 17, it will jointly launch the medium and large car Alfa S with BAIC, and you can touch the real car at the Shanghai Auto Show.
Ji Guo Jun secretly told everyone that the biggest feature of this car is the first production car equipped with Huawei HI solution, which is quite awesome! !
New energy vehicles have an enterprise that can never be avoided in China. BAIC New Energy and BAIC New Energy have always taken the low-end route. For a long time, due to various reasons, BAIC's new energy vehicles are all high-priced and low-priced.
In recent years, with the internet companies going out to sea to build cars and the establishment of Tesla's Shanghai factory, the old road of BAIC can't work, and entering the high-end market is part of the change of BAIC. As a key high-end brand launched by BAIC, Polar Fox officially announced its marriage with Huawei today.
You must be curious about what BAIC and Huawei have cooperated with. What is Huawei's HI solution? Judging from the information released so far, the HI solution carried by Alpha S should still be based on the in-car interactive experience.
Ji is still looking forward to it. After all, who gets on the bus now still uses the function of the mobile phone. As soon as they got on the bus, their mobile phones were connected. The best car system is to make you feel that there is a car system.
In addition to the in-vehicle system adopting Huawei's HI solution, Alpha S will also be equipped with the assisted driving system provided by Huawei, including lidar and in-vehicle camera. This time, BAIC's Polar Fox Alpha S is the second production model equipped with laser radar. The last production model was Weilai ET7 released last year.
But so far, Weilai ET7 has not delivered the actual vehicle, nor announced the level of assisted driving. The assisted driving level announced by Alpha S this time is L2.5. At present, L2.5 has not been accurately positioned. Tesla's autonomous driving is only the level of L2.5, which is the industry benchmark. Almost unmanned on the basis of only using the camera. Although Musk despises lidar, Apple iPhone 12 has proved that lidar is the best detection scheme at present in dark environment.
Huawei has been applying for a patent for lidar before. On March 5th, it first announced "a kind of lidar". Ji learned that Huawei's new lidar can be applied to autonomous driving, networked cars and other fields, with high detection sensitivity.
Since Huawei reduced the cost of lidar to $65,438+000, it has become possible to assemble lidar on production vehicles. This time, Alpha S is equipped with three lidar. Ji believes that the polar fox Alpha S equipped with Huawei's HI solution will bring us surprises in autonomous driving, especially at night, but everything will have to wait until April 17.
In terms of endurance, Alpha S has launched three versions of cruising range, namely 525km, 603km and 708km, but it is still the NEDC measurement of the old monkey.
As we all know, NEDC's mileage has been seriously reduced. You must be curious. Why? That's because NEDC is the endurance data measured at the optimal temperature and working condition, but the reality is much more complicated. Is it excusable for Wanyi to bring a baby weighing more than 200 kg, and the cruising range will drop 100km?
In terms of motors, Polar Fox Alpha S will adopt the layout of front and rear dual motors to provide high and low power. The maximum power of the motor is 160kW and 320kW, and the peak torque is 360n·m and 720n·m respectively. Ji Guo Jun guessed that according to this power mode and cruising range distribution, the Alfa S will have a sports model, and the 0- 100km/s 4.3s is only available in the special edition.
Extreme Focus Alpha S still uses the same design language as SUV. In recent two years, domestic manufacturers have paid more and more attention to the family design of vehicle appearance. Porsche's front face appearance, rear sliding tail, design without air intake grille and hidden door handle are full of science and technology. Ferdinand, the original designer of Porsche, never dreamed that his car design language would leave a strong impression in the era of automobile electrification.
In terms of interior, although it has a very modern large-screen central control design, the air outlet of the air conditioner has no hidden design, which can be said to be a collision between futuristic and traditional design. In other aspects, although the pocket pull rod design is the same as that of most electric vehicles, a solid knob is also designed at the armrest position.
Ji is curious about this design. Isn't the central control panel touching? It also needs knob control, and the answer to everything may not be revealed until the Shanghai Auto Show touches the real car.
In addition, Polar Fox Alpha S uses Yin Fei Lishi audio, and a lot of places in the car are wrapped in NAPPA leather, which creates a pretty good sense of luxury, but the sense of luxury does not depend on stacking. The noise and vibration control of the whole vehicle after driving can best reflect the sense of luxury. These have to wait for Ji Guojun to test drive himself.
At present, the Arctic Fox Alpha S cooperated by BAIC New Energy and Huawei is the first step for Huawei to enter the automobile industry. Although Huawei has made it clear that it will not join the vehicle manufacturing industry, if it can provide a good intelligent ecosystem for many domestic car companies, Huawei will become an automobile supply chain giant just around the corner.
Perhaps in the future, Huawei's smart ecosystem will become a great help for domestic car companies to catch up with Tesla in smart travel. Ji Guo Jun is also looking forward to the day when Tesla is no longer the only one talking about autonomous driving. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, what do you think of the joint venture between Huawei and BAIC?
