In 2021, the growth momentum of new energy vehicles is strong. In the period of change of oil and electricity alternation, the brand of new domestic car manufacturing forces has risen, and the product strength and delivery ability have risen to a new level. The data shows that the main model of the ideal car, the ideal ONE, has achieved the production of 100,000 vehicles off the production line in only 708 days, setting a record for the fastest single model of the new domestic car-making forces to break 100,000 vehicles.
As a luxury intelligent electric SUV, the ideal ONE is favored by the majority of family users, not only because it has the advantages of efficient energy supply with oil and electricity, and has a comfortable and large space like home, but also stems from those hidden software and hardware designs.
Groundbreaking and completely different from traditional models: The ideal ONE allows the vehicle-machine system to be involved in a wide range of data communication and processing processes of the entire vehicle. Taking the ideal ONE nap mode as an example, when the nap mode is activated, the seat will automatically adjust to half reclining, and the content displayed on the four screens will also become "a whole wallpaper". When it's time for a set nap, the stereo wakes people up with soothing music and everything in the car returns to the way it was. If the owner gets out of the car early to leave or presses the brake pedal, nap mode will also automatically exit.

Similarly, some car owners often forget to turn off the rear seat heating function, and such troubles on the ideal ONE are no longer there. The pressure sensor inside the ideal ONE seat will actively transmit a signal to the car machine system, and when the system learns that the rear passenger has been off the car for a period of time (no weight), it will automatically turn off the rear seat heating function to achieve the purpose of energy saving and power saving.
Based on the newly designed system and communication architecture, the relationship between the ideal ONE in-vehicle system and most of the automotive function modules has changed from "leader and team member" to a relationship similar to "teacher and student" that can communicate with each other, which creates unlimited possibilities.
For example, in the past, the program logic of wipers, doors, air conditioners, and seats, which are automotive functional modules, is very simple and almost unchangeable. They do not need to pass data to the on-board system and only follow simple operating instructions. Now, each function module will transmit sensor data such as light/rain sensor, door opening status sensor, vision sensor, pressure sensor and so on to the four-screen interactive system, which analyzes these status parameters and realizes richer and more intimate functions.
What makes even more sense is that, based on an advanced architecture and the efforts of the software team, similar convenience features can be developed and OTA for users of all current models in a shorter period of time, rather than having to wait until they are remodeled or offered to consumers on new cars.
On this basis, in order to meet the performance requirements of conventional entertainment functions (navigation, music, video, etc.) and to meet the large number of data transmission and processing work from various functional modules of the car, Ideal ONE has made another bold innovation.
Supporting the operation of the ideal ONE four-screen interactive system is not only a "core", but also two chips and two sets of systems hidden behind it. The ideal ONE's digital instrument and function control screen are controlled by a Texas Instruments TI J6 chip, and the underlying layer adopts a Linux system; under the central control screen and co-driver entertainment screen is a car-grade Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A chip, and the bottom layer adopts the Android Automotive system. The former focuses on operational stability, while the latter also takes into account the application expansion capability.
For the obviously "heavier burden" central control screen and co-driver entertainment screen, ideal ONE selected the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A, one of the strongest car-grade processors on the market at that time, equipped with 8G memory and 64G storage space.
In order to achieve up to 20 points of multi-touch on two screens and co-pilot independent audio output and other functions, ideal ONE rewrites a large amount of underlying code including memory mobilization mechanism and DSP driver on the basis of Android Automotive.
With the cooperation of high-performance chips and system optimization, in addition to "controlling the overall situation" at the vehicle control level, the two sets of links also drive the application entertainment system and support the four 60Hz refresh rate screens.
And, like the logic of many flagship phones, the ideal ONE can dynamically adjust the refresh rate through software, such as the Bilibili video application supporting a maximum 60Hz refresh rate; autoNavi maps have a relatively high frame rate when navigating, and the software refresh rate will drop in the non-navigation state (the interface that does not require real-time updates). On the one hand, energy consumption can be optimized, and on the other hand, system resources can be better allocated.
Based on the new hardware, architecture system and OTA technology, the ideal ONE's four-screen interactive experience will continue to iterate and become more and more outstanding. The original intention behind the ideal car "black technology" is to make car owners more comfortable, more secure and get more diverse ecological services.
