"Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi", "Hello master", "Help me adjust the temperature to 23 degrees, and leave a slit in the window." "Okay, I'll get it done for you right away."
The above is a dialogue at the scene of the AITU Q&A M5 conference. No longer simply asking about the weather, no longer issuing mechanical instructions, voice assistant Xiaoyi can still know what people think and calmly accept the call.
The general view in the market is that the first half of new energy vehicles is electrified, and the second half will revolve around intelligence. Although the voice assistant is only a small embodiment of the intelligence of the AITU Q&M5, it can be seen through this that the era of smart cars is coming.
This time, Huawei joined hands with the high-end smart car brand AITO to sound the clarion call to march.
HarmonyOS gets in the car
In fact, the AITO M5 has attracted much market attention before its release on December 23. On the day of its release, it was once again widely discussed because of the origin of the "first Hongmeng car".
HarmonyOS was officially launched at the 2019 Huawei Developer Conference and has been used on more than 220 million Huawei devices and shipped more than 100 million ecological devices so far. With the advent of AITO Q&A M5, HarmonyOS has also expanded to smart travel scenarios.
Today, the biggest challenge facing smart cockpits comes from the fragmentation and customization of industry solutions. HarmonyOS is a new generation of intelligent terminal operating system, based on a new system architecture, full-stack component decoupling and elastic deployment, which can provide a unified language for the intelligence, interconnection and collaboration of different devices, breaking the "island" state of the car.
This is the essence of Huawei's thinking for the era of "connecting everything".
AITO Q&I M5 is the first to build a new HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit system, breaking through the three major pain points of "few applications, slow upgrades, and poor experience" of traditional cars and machines, and elevating the intelligence of cars to a new height.
In terms of interaction, the HarmonyOS smart cockpit retains the essence of HarmonyOS' UX design on Huawei's mobile phones and tablets, bringing minimalist interaction, a unified notification and control center, and efficient multitasking operations. For example, AITO M5 owners can not only customize desktop wallpapers, but also quickly access various services through the desktop's personalized shortcut bar (Smart Dock). HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit also has a rich application ecology, with the help of full-screen, split-screen, suspended window and other window display forms, to achieve the same efficient and convenient interactive experience as mobile phones.
In terms of function, what is surprising is undoubtedly the "amazing brain power" of the voice assistant Xiaoyi. Whether it's environmental perception, position perception, or fatigue driving warning, Xiaoyi Tongtong can help you get it done. It is reported that the voice car control of the AITO Q&I M5 application adopts Huawei's self-developed end-cloud collaboration architecture for the first time, and at the same time gives full play to the advantages of low end-side latency and large-scale cloud-side models, realizing the continuous dialogue, visible speakability, and active recommendation of voice assistants.
It is worth mentioning that the AITO Q&I M5 intelligent cockpit supports 3D face recognition, which can automatically log in to huawei accounts and automatically switch driving information, ensuring the privacy and security of users. In addition, only one HUAWEI ID is required, and users can control the devices in their homes in real time through the control center on the AITO Q&I M5 car machine, realizing remote control and scheduling.
In addition, the AITO M5 is the industry's first model to realize the insensible unlocking of the watch, and the owner can use HUAWEI WATCH 3 to unlock the vehicle through Bluetooth or NFC.
With the blessing of these "Intelligence" intelligence capabilities, AUTO can become AITO.
Thousand mile battery life
In addition to the HarmonyOS smart cockpit, the AITO M5 is also equipped with the new HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive range extender platform. At the press conference, Yu Chengdong mentioned three keywords, namely "long endurance", "strong power" and "safer".
In the domestic market, the sales performance of new energy vehicles is eye-catching, with continuous rapid growth and continuous increase in penetration. In the first 11 months of this year, the cumulative production exceeded 3 million vehicles, sales were close to 3 million, and the penetration rate in November exceeded 20%. However, problems such as short mileage and inconvenient charging are still the key factors hindering the popularity of new energy vehicles on the demand side, and these problems are difficult to encounter in THE AITO M5.
The 1.5T four-cylinder range extender 3.0 used by aito inbound M5 can realize that one liter of oil can generate 3.2 kWh of electricity, which is 20% higher than the industry standard. The vehicle's CLTC can reach 1242 km of cruising conditions when full of oil and electricity. In terms of charging, fast charging for 45 minutes can make the power from 20% to 80%, and slow charging for 5 hours can make the power from 20% to 80%. Even in cold regions, the new generation of range extenders keeps the powertrain energy and performance stable.
In addition, the HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive range extender platform adopts the world's first-class golden electric drive combination, and the intelligent four-wheel drive combination composed of the front asynchronous AC motor + the rear permanent magnet synchronous motor has a peak power of up to 365kW, which makes the AITO Q&I M5 100 km acceleration by 4.4 seconds, which is directly comparable to the ultimate performance of the supercar. Compared with the industry's traditional water cooling technology, the electric drive system reduces the average peak temperature of the winding by 30 °C and the peak temperature of the magnet by 15 °C, which provides a guarantee for the stable performance of the electric drive.
The AITO M5 chassis is made of all-aluminum alloy material, which reduces weight by 30% compared to the traditional steel chassis, which can achieve a safer and more comfortable driving experience while improving the stability of the vehicle. On the basis of electric drive vibration and noise performance (NVH), this chassis also has a good NVH effect, which can effectively suppress the noise caused by sand and gravel hitting the chassis during driving.
According to Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of Consumer BG, and CEO of Smart Car Solutions BU, the AITO M5 chassis has undergone multi-wheel control and bump tuning, and its performance is comparable to the chassis of a Million Luxury car.
In terms of safety, Huawei's DriveONE pure electric drive extended range platform is equipped with CTP module design battery PACK, compared with the traditional battery pack module thermal insulation form, each battery PACK battery pack adopts independent fireproof packaging technology, while ensuring energy density, from the structure and materials to achieve stable fire, but also to prevent the spread of fire, for users to solve the battery safety anxiety.
In addition, Huawei's DriveONE pure electric drive range extender platform has a smart brain - intelligent range extender control system. The system defines the product in a scenario-based manner, fully considers the factors such as road conditions, altitude, temperature, load, vehicle conditions, etc., can automatically identify more than 860 kinds of scenes, and achieve accurate matching through neural algorithms, bringing a global strong power, low energy consumption, low noise experience.
Luxury car configuration
On this luxury SUV built by Huawei itself, the "million-level" configuration is obviously more than a chassis. Yu Chengdong has repeatedly stressed that both the appearance and interior of this new car are designed according to the standard of "shoulder to shoulder or even beyond the Million Luxury Car".
AiTO Q&I M5 has a wheelbase of 2880mm, the body combines natural aesthetics and hydrodynamic design, with 20-inch sail all-aluminum wheels and 0.32Cd ultra-low wind resistance, combining the sporty sense of supercaring and the stability of the SUV. The rear is designed with eagle wing through taillights, which are connected to the waist line raised at the rear of the body side, and the smooth body posture is implemented. At the same time, the eye-catching "AITO" wordmark has a high degree of recognition.
The interior is designed in a minimalist style, and the one-piece wrap-around cockpit is more spacious, more comfortable and more immersive. The main driver is facing a 10.4-inch curved full LCD instrument cluster, the center console is distributed in a "T" shape, equipped with a 15.6-inch HDR intelligent central control screen, and the wireless charging area and other designs have greatly improved the convenience of operation. A seamless panoramic canopy with a total area of approximately 2 square meters provides open rear top, side views and space.
The AITO M5 has launched six metal car paint colors and three interior colors, which can provide eighteen different styles of color combinations.
In addition to the exterior and interior, the HUAWEI SOUND sound system, which makes the smart cockpit immersive experience more, is also one of the highlights of the conference. Equipped with Huawei's audio system, the AITO Q&I M5 can perfectly support the output of 1000+W power amplifiers, and with self-developed bass and transient control algorithms, it can effectively prevent overlapping signals from being redundantly mixed, keep the sound clean, and the bass is powerful.
All in all, aito M5 brings together Huawei's industrial design, engineering technology, system software, and Hongmeng ecological advantages. As a blockbuster new product of Huawei's Smart Select ecosystem, after comprehensive subsidies, the pre-price of aito Q&I M5 after-drive standard version is 250,000 yuan, the pre-price of the four-wheel drive performance version is 280,000 yuan, and the pre-price of the four-wheel drive flagship version is 320,000 yuan.
At the same time, AITO M5 will be sold through Huawei's national retail channel network, and since January 20, 2022, it will be opened in 118 cities and 500 Huawei stores to make test drives and reservations, and users can make reservations through the AITO official website and my Huawei APP.
Write at the end
Under the "software-defined car" trend, there is hardly a tech giant that does not want to build a car. However, Yu Chengdong re-emphasized the position of "Huawei does not build cars" at the press conference. Huawei has always insisted on "bringing the digital world into every car" and helping car companies "build good cars" and "sell good cars".
More than 30 years of technology accumulation and market advantages in the ICT field are helping Huawei accelerate this goal. The arrival of aito Q&I M5 is not only a key part of Huawei's construction of the Internet of Everything ecosystem, but also marks that the era of smart travel is just around the corner.
