A few days ago, the first masterpiece of Zhiji Automobile, the performance flagship True Intelligent Sedan Zhiji L7, the first batch of 200 Beta Experience Editions, was officially delivered at the LINGANG Intelligent Factory of SAIC Motor Group, and the "urban parade" of 9 cities across the country was launched synchronously.
The off-line delivery of the Zhiji L7 Beta Experience Edition is a necessary process of the intelligent car development process in the AI era, known as the "data cooker". This new paradigm redefines a new standard for the intelligent car development process, which will use the "golden key" of real scene data to rigorously verify the intelligent performance of deep intelligent vehicles and bring higher quality user delivery experience. This is the core difference between smart cars and traditional cars in the development process.
After the layer-by-layer optimization of the "data cooker machine", at the end of February next year, the Zhiji L7 test drive will be successively in the store, and the real car test drive will be fully opened in early March. Zhiji Auto respects and thanks users for waiting for and supporting Zhiji L7 for a long time, so it will officially open the Dading link after the user test driving experience, so that the user Dading is no longer "blind", which is also the due meaning of the real user-oriented enterprise.
As the "pioneering work" of Zhiji Automobile, from "data cooker", to 22 months of "agile development", and then to the "three new benchmarks" for calibrating deep intelligent vehicles, Zhiji L7 reconstructs the development mode and product logic of intelligent cars in the AI era with the new standard of "1+1+3", and comprehensively shows "what cars should look like in the intelligent era".
The data cooker starts the "data cultivation" of the real scene
After the offline production, the Zhiji L7 Beta Experience Edition has fully complied with the legal and regulatory requirements for driving on open roads. After delivery to the system test users, the "Urban Parade" activity covering 9 cities across the country was immediately launched, starting the data-driven full journey optimization process in the real environment.
The Zhiji L7 Urban Cruise takes Shanghai as the first stop and walks around popular routes in urban business districts such as the Bund and Lujiazui to the user. The parade will accurately adjust the intelligent performance of user contacts and product software systems through the data verification of real use scenarios in 9 major cities, and optimize the calibration of high-load use scenarios of mass production vehicles such as product perception systems, domain controller software, and human-computer interaction. On top of the strict quality verification processes such as DV (design verification) and PV (product verification), the first DFV (Data Feed Validation real scene data verification) new link is created to continuously verify and polish the user experience to ensure that zhiji L7 becomes a high-quality delivery benchmark for deep intelligent vehicles when it is officially delivered to users.
Agile development for 22 months to hone a truly smart car
From the establishment of the project in March 2020 to the delivery of the first car of the Zhiji L7, Zhiji Automobile completed the entire development process with high speed, efficiency and high quality in only 22 months, and explored a set of development mode of "agile development" of deep intelligent vehicles.
The four new product architectures used by the industry are the underlying innovation of Zhiji L7, and they are also the core research difficulties of development. iO origin high-end pure electric architecture provides advanced four-wheel steering and four-wheel drive, so that millions of performance is at your fingertips; a new generation of domain fusion central computing digital architecture carries 521 functions Of Nature, supporting vehicle deep OTA, immersive cockpit experience is constantly refreshed; SOA atomized software architecture breaks the boundaries between functions from the bottom layer, boundless integration, bringing scene-based intelligent interactive experience; IM AD intelligent driving system brings users the "most human-like" intelligent driving experience.
"Agile Development" successfully proofs the product development model of Zhidian. In the face of the development challenge of Zhiji L7 with multiple new developments, Zhiji Automobile draws on the successful experience of "agile development" in the Internet industry to compress the development cycle through the method of "design, development, integration and iteration"; at the same time, it unites sister units and partners such as passenger cars, technology centers, zero beams, zebras, Momenta and Huayu to overcome difficulties one by one in the form of multi-round offensive battles to improve development quality and efficiency. In the past month, the architecture software of Zhiji L7 has iterated 88 versions; every 3 days, a version of the intelligent driving function software iteration is completed; and the user contact IM Zhiji APP has realized the normalization of the update frequency of 2 weeks and 1 iteration. The development method of "agile development" finally ran out of the "wisdom speed" of 22 months, and initially formed a mature and reproducible intelligent car development model.
Three new benchmarks define what smart cars should look like in the AI era
Zhiji Auto grasps the era context of "software-defined automobile data determines experience", and defines three new benchmarks for intelligent car products in the AI era through data training, cross-domain integration, and global deep OTA.
After data training, the car that creates the "most human-like" intelligent driving experience is the real deep intelligent car. Zhiji Automobile strives to build a data factory, realizing the whole process of data drive in perception, integration, prediction, regulation and control, etc., and forming a value closed loop. Based on massive real user data training, zhiji auto IM AD intelligent driving system shows the "most human-like" intelligent driving performance with artificial intelligence super algorithms.
Through cross-domain integration, the car that realizes the scene-based intelligent interaction is the real deep intelligent car. Zhiji L7 opens up the various control domains of the vehicle from the bottom layer, seamlessly integrates, and realizes the "cross-domain integration" of intelligent scenarios. For example, the "pilot in the air" function presented in the IMOS interface of the Zhiji L7 operating system opens up the intelligent driving domain and the wisdom cabin domain, and in the complex urban road section, various road information is displayed across the screen, which can be seen from the perspective of God, creating a more relaxed and safer driving experience for users.
Global depth OTA, so that the vehicle function is commonly used in the new car is the real depth of intelligent car. Zhiji L7 achieves deep OTA coverage of more than 40 modules, from large vehicle domain systems such as smart driving, smart cabin, chassis, etc., to small functional modules such as Carlog and airbags, which can be upgraded; FOTA is updated every 3 months, SOTA is updated at any time, and the user experience is refreshed from time to time; and the module adopts AB area backup, so that users have "prepared" and worry-free upgrades.
Recently, Zhiji Automobile will launch the "IM Beta - Zhiji L7 Beta Experience Edition Internal Testing Plan", inviting angel wheel and A round users to apply for participation through the IM Zhiji APP, jointly promote the "data cooker", which is the optimization process that intelligent cars must go through, and create the value of the iterative evolution of intelligent cars.
