10 years ago, we certainly did not expect that small displacement turbo vehicles would become the mainstream today, and we could not imagine that new energy vehicles would gradually occupy the market.
Similarly, the configuration and functions of automatic driving assistance, car networking multimedia system, vehicle Wi-Fi, remote start, Bluetooth key, etc., were unpredictable 10 years ago, after all, many cars at that time, in addition to the radio, could only rely on CD players or DVD players to play the music on the CD, and they had to manually change the disc when they were tired of listening.
So, what will the car look like in another 10 years? At this year's CES Show, we'll find some answers.
BMW iX Flow concept car
The design of the BMW iX Flow concept car is not a highlight, but the new car uses BMW's "electronic ink" technology (E-ink) on the body surface, which can make the body change color instantly.
The principle of body color change is very simple, because the "electronic ink" is actually composed of millions of transparent microcapsules, each capsule is the same diameter as the hair, and in each microcapsule, there are negatively charged white pigments and positively charged black pigments, so only the electrodes on the microcapsules need to be controlled to change the color of the vehicle.
In this way, in the summer, the body can be turned white to reflect a certain amount of sunshine, reduce the temperature inside the car, reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner, and in the winter, the body can be turned black, absorbing more solar energy, making the vehicle warmer.
Cadillac InnerSpace concept car
The Cadillac InnerSpace Concept is a luxurious two-seater concept car based on the Aotene electric vehicle platform and featuring the concept of autonomous driving. Therefore, the InnerSpace concept car does not have a steering wheel and pedals, but a very large SMD LCD curved screen, which is definitely comfortable to play games or watch movies.
Cadillac also mentioned the concept of health, so the InnerSpace concept car has a very large window and sunroof to help users relax in the car.
It is worth noting that due to the continuous upgrading of material technology, the unique door opening method of the InnerSpace concept car may also become a mainstream, which is much more handsome than the scissor door.
Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX concept car
The design of the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX concept car is slightly born from the current Mercedes-Benz design language, a closer look at the details, the dot matrix star logo of the front grille is only decorative, even the logo is pasted, and even the wheelbase of the VISION EQXX concept car is only 2800mm, which is less than the level of the new C-class, and all kinds of details and data are not luxurious.
But the biggest highlight of the VISION EQXX concept car is energy saving. Due to the unique design, many details tend to create a low wind resistance body, and even the tail light group acts as a spoiler, and the active diffuser under the rear of the car can automatically extend at high speeds, and its vehicle wind resistance coefficient is only 0.17Cd.
In order to achieve low energy consumption, vision EQXX concept car uses Bridgestone Turanza Eco low resistance tires, the size is only 185/65 R20, coupled with smaller size and lighter weight battery, vision EQXX concept car 100 km comprehensive test energy consumption is less than 10 kWh, converted to 95% of the battery energy can be effectively converted into vehicle kinetic energy, that is, the fully charged cruising range of more than 1000km, The solar panels on the roof could theoretically provide an additional cruising range of 25km.
Sony Vision-S 02 concept car
Sony has actually come up with a concept car as early as 2020, and this Sony Vision-S 02 concept car can be seen as a supplement to the product line, after all, there must be an SUV for the car.
According to Sony, the VISION-S concept was first born just to test self-driving technology and Sony's PlayStation platform, both of which are now well played by Sony.
The Vision-S 02 concept car appeared at CES this time is equipped with a total of 40 sensors, including CMOS image sensors, ToF optical sensors, lidar and millimeter wave radar, etc., to detect people and objects around or inside the vehicle.
And in April last year, Sony and Vodafone began driving tests on the 5G network in Oldenhofen, Germany, allowing drivers to obtain road conditions through various sensors of the vehicle, and then drive through the cloud instead of sitting in the car. Some analysts believe that this is Sony preparing for L4 or even L5 level automatic driving.
As for the vision-S 02 concept car console, the through-channel triple screen multimedia system not only supports 5G networks and can be upgraded by OTA, but also has a "BRAVIA CORE for VISION-S" entertainment system, and the screen on the co-pilot side can run PS5 games directly with the help of the cloud. Since Sony's 360 Reality Audio technology is also used in the car, the effect of listening to music and playing games is certainly not bad.
Sony's two concept cars are very close to the mass production car in terms of design, and have even begun to be tested on public roads, but as for where the new car is mass-produced, how the pricing range is, when it will be listed, and whether it can be bought in China... Sony has not been able to give answers to these questions.
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport
Interestingly, bugatti Chiron Super Sport also made an appearance at CES. You know, this is a model that is still using a mechanical pointer dashboard, and it does not even have a central control large screen.
But considering the Chiron Super Sport's 8.0T quad-turbo W16 engine, as well as the top speed of 7100 rpm and the maximum horsepower of 1600 ps, it can even produce a stable output of 1600 N·m torque in the 2000-7000 rpm range.
And 0-200km/h only 5.8 seconds, 0-300km/h only 12.1 seconds, 0-400km/h acceleration performance is roughly 7% better than the ordinary version of Chiron, 3.2 million euros (about 24.88 million yuan) the price will still be bought by local tycoons. After all, what you buy is the purest horsepower and the purest fun.
It should be said that as long as the local tycoons have demand, and the regulations allow, let alone 10 years later, even in another 30 years, these large-displacement and high-horsepower fossil fuel vehicles will not completely disappear.
Who says the cars of the future have to carry a bunch of high-tech and turn them into electronics?
