At the recent CES Consumer Electronics Show, many high-tech companies released their models at the show, and Volvo, as a veteran car manufacturer, also unveiled its new flagship SUV at the CES Show, and the car is equipped with Volvo's latest Ride Pilot system, which is part of Volvo's broader cooperation strategy, and its goal is to provide more advanced technology and features. Today we will take a look at this car and the system.
From the appearance of the still use of Volvo's Thor headlights, although it did not leak out of the front face, but as a pure electric model closed front grille is probably indispensable, and Volvo logo will still remain, as a flagship SUV model it is still spacious space, the way to open the door makes it easy to get on and off, in the design of the seat it still maintains the Volvo's safety seat, and adopts a double-row 5-seat design, and the curve of the top of the car makes it have a sporty style. In the design of the tail, it uses L-shaped rear tail lights, and the entire tail is very simple and full. The RidePilot system on this car has been tested on the roads of Sweden for autonomous driving, and the summer of 2022 is also about to be tested in California, usa, and will be the first to be listed in the United States after passing the test, and this system will be matured to assist the version of system 3.0, and now Tesla is equipped with only the 2.0 version. The deployment of the 3.0 system will usher in a new era.
The development of this system is the product of volvo's close cooperation with Google, it took the lead in using Google's Android native system and integrated Google Maps into the TidePilot system, and this system will also integrate a variety of Google applications, and the most important thing for the electric model is the charging information, so that you can intuitively land to the charging time and other information, RidePilot because of the integration of Google's Android system, so this information can be very intuitive. Volvo in order to be able to drive the Android system perfectly, it uses Qualcomm Snapdragon's car CPU, and Volvo in all hardware manufacturers may only have Qualcomm to choose, after all, Apple and Intel are also ready to enter the car field and Intel is not doing very well in the CPU of mobile phones. Therefore, Volvo only chose Qualcomm to cooperate. Moreover, Qualcomm is also a leading communication manufacturer in the field of communications, especially in the field of 5G RF chips, even the domestic Huawei can not match it.
As Volvo's latest model and system, it is the latest in both shape and concept, so Volvo's idea is to update the software wirelessly without updating the body to get the latest driving experience, for this idea I think it is very good, as long as the software update is like getting a new car, you say?
