Autonomous driving has become one of the hottest topics in the automotive industry nowadays, which is also an area that all car brands are striving for, in fact, it is simple, who can take the lead in this regard, then the core competitiveness in the future automotive market belongs to whom.
But from the current status of automatic driving development, in order to achieve true full artificial intelligence, fully automatic road automatic driving may still have a long way to go, although this technology still needs to be precipitated, but through the in-depth study of automatic driving, there are now some visible prototypes. As a car company at the forefront of in-vehicle interconnection, SAIC-GM Buick officially announced on the 17th of this month that it launched the eCruise Pro advanced intelligent intelligent driving assistance system OTA remote upgrade for the first time, which also once again improved the consumer's intelligent travel experience.
OTA upgrades are commonly used and always new
For people living in the era of smart phones today, OTA upgrades are actually not unfamiliar, such as our mobile phones after a period of use, there will always be reminders that we need to update the new system, and even sometimes encounter a major iteration of the system, the entire mobile phone interface will also undergo earth-shaking changes. In recent years, similar forms of OTA upgrades have also been used in cars, not only in the new forces of car manufacturing abound, but also many traditional car companies are constantly breaking restrictions and further moving towards intelligence, of which SAIC-GM Buick is a very prominent and excellent model.
In November 2021, SAIC-GM Buick announced the opening of a new round of eConnect3.0 intelligent interconnection technology OTA remote upgrade, which will cover more than 600,000 vehicles in 14 models, compared with the previous generation of products, Buick eConnect 3.0 intelligent technology for interactive interface, multimedia entertainment capabilities, navigation network service capabilities, voice interaction capabilities and other aspects of a comprehensive upgrade. At the same time, the built-in application part adds active reach services and ecological partner content, which can actively provide service guidance according to tags, location, time, weather, etc.
In less than two months, SAIC-GM Buick once again ushered in the eCruise Pro advanced intelligent intelligent driver assistance system OTA remote upgrade, this upgrade includes buick GL8 Evia and GL8 ES Luzun part of the model, after the upgrade, will add ILC driver command lane change function. In addition, the traffic congestion assistance system and the intelligent cruise system in the center of the lane have also been optimized. The travel experience is safer, smarter and more efficient.
Keep up with the times, good use is the last word
The strong hardware support behind the vehicle is an indispensable and important factor in the intelligent car experience, with the use of Mobileye EyeQ4 fourth-generation image recognition chip ultra-wide angle to 100 ° HD wide-vision forward camera, as well as 12 ultrasonic radar, 5 high-performance millimeter wave radar, 4 megapixel HD panoramic cameras and 1 x 2 megapixel wide-angle HD camera, can ensure that the vehicle can accurately perceive the surrounding environment, so that its Buick ECruise Pro Advanced Intelligent Driver Assistance System works better.
In the new ILC driver command lane change function, the vehicle needs to start the LCC lane center intelligent cruise system and the speed reaches more than 40 km/h. By flicking the steering lever, the system will confirm that the surrounding environment can execute the lane change command and the target lane line is clear, the dashboard will display the lane line as green, then the vehicle can automatically change to the adjacent lane, the operation logic is very clear and easy to understand, the lane change process is safe and intelligent.
If there is a fast-coming car behind you or if you want to change lanes to the right but the right side is an obstacle, the dashboard will display a red lane line at this moment, reminding the driver that the change of lane command cannot be performed at this time. In addition, the driver command lane change function will continue to try to change lanes for a certain period of time until there is a scene that meets the lane change. However, there is no suitable scene in the time of trying to change lanes for about 10 seconds, and the vehicle will stop the lane change command function and continue to drive in this lane, and will also give the driver a hint through the text on the dashboard to ensure a safe intelligent driving assistance experience.
In addition, the HOD steering wheel off-hand detection function has also been upgraded again for the driver's departure time. When the TJA Traffic Jam Assist function or the LCC Lane Center Intelligent Cruise is running, it is only necessary to use the sensors on the capacitive steering wheel rim to determine whether the driver is holding the steering wheel.
In the actual experience, when the time away from the hand exceeds 10 seconds, the vehicle will actively issue a prompt sound to the driver. It is worth mentioning that the driver only needs to hold the steering wheel with his hand again to automatically dismiss the alarm, and does not need to shake the steering wheel left and right to some models, effectively improving the safety when driving on high-speed roads.
Of course, in addition to the new features of the OTA upgrade for this experience, Buick's LCC lane center intelligent cruise system is also eye-catching. Unlike other models that are also equipped with intelligent driving assistance configuration, this function can not only intelligently follow and turn the car under the condition of ensuring that there is a clear lane line on both sides, but more importantly, when the vehicle cannot recognize the lane line (such as through the intersection), the vehicle can still grasp the movement trajectory of the car in front of it and continue to drive with the car in front, bringing a smarter and more convenient car experience for the driver.
Che Yun summary
Car intelligence is not a "step to the sky" thing, it is not difficult to see from the OTA upgrade of the SAIC-GM Buick eCruise Pro advanced intelligent intelligent driving assistance system. As a traditional car company, Buick did not stick to the rules, but was down-to-earth, constantly optimizing and upgrading the intelligent capabilities in driving assistance, human-computer interaction, etc., so that fuel vehicles also have the ability to compete with the new forces of car manufacturing, and redefine the appearance of cars in today's intelligent era.
