New energy ≠ intelligent, and fuel vehicles can also be very smart.
Intelligence has long become the new core of the competitiveness of the automotive industry in the future. Among them, it is undeniable that the rise of Tesla and a number of new forces, "preconceived" to give electric vehicles an intelligent gimmick. However, in fact, for many years, traditional car companies have not been without layout on the intelligent road, but they have not been spread as the main selling point.
Take the earliest wave of manufacturers to launch the Internet of Cars - SAIC-GM Buick as an example, its very representative is the OnStar system, as early as 2009 to introduce domestic models, and in 2014 released the Internet of Vehicles strategy, since then Buick has been trying to open up more ways for people to interact with cars. After continuous optimization and upgrading, Buick has made significant adjustments and upgrades in the past two years in terms of vehicle-machine interconnection, and the car-machine system is also equipped with eConnect 3.0 interconnection technology, and the first large-scale OTA upgrade is also carried out as scheduled. Therefore, we cannot regard intelligence as the exclusive gene of electric vehicles.
What's more, at the moment when electric vehicles are still immature, fuel vehicles still occupy 80% of the market share, which is still the main choice of consumers. In the face of the new demand for automobile intelligence, this time SAIC-GM Buick chose to continue to increase the intelligence of fuel vehicles to quickly meet consumer demand.
The VIP electronic architecture defines the degree of intelligence
At present, the automotive industry generally believes that the electronic and electrical architecture is an important criterion for judging the advanced degree of intelligence of a vehicle. Therefore, SAIC-GM Buick directly starts from the fundamentals, through the VIP intelligent electronic architecture, for the fuel vehicle to achieve the interaction between the major subsystems of the vehicle, has the hard power of comparable or even surpassing the new energy model:
The brain-like VIP intelligent electronic architecture connects and drives the vehicle function through the "central nervous system", and at the same time, with the blessing of high-speed network data transmission, greatly improves the system performance and computing efficiency, and has unlimited potential for expansion.
The above-mentioned Auto-GM Buick launched a new SUV model Encore Plus last year as an example, it realizes the OTA of the vehicle, which can complete the update and upgrade of the system and functions of dozens of electronic modules, including the upgrade of the most complex engine, transmission and other power components on the fuel body in the past, which is the symbol of the era of intelligent cars.
In addition, SAIC-GM Buick will also provide a full-cycle digital experience, whether it is the presentation of scientific and technological sense, on-board interconnection interaction or third-party software ecology, all of which have realized the leapfrog intelligent evolution of fuel vehicles.
For example, walking into the Interior of the Oncovi Plus car, the three screens of the central control, the instrument and the HUD head-up display create a full sense of technology. The central control 10-inch screen adopts the design of the partial driver, the screen adopts the embedded form, compared to the general suspension touch screen, neither affects the line of sight, but also effectively eliminates the reflection caused by the display is not clear when driving, behind the rapid improvement of the hardware of the car, more beautiful and more in line with the use habits of consumers.
The new built-in eConnect 3.0 interconnection technology is a collaboration between SAIC-GM Buick and Baidu. Through Baidu AI intelligence, the voice assistant has natural speech recognition capabilities, not only supports multiple rounds of dialogue, but also can achieve up to 214 kinds of human-computer interaction commands in more than 60 scenarios, just say: "Hello, Buick!" "You can control a variety of usage scenarios in the car, including completing vehicle control, navigation search, phone control, and a variety of query functions."
In addition, Baidu Free Listen, which can provide more than 20 million online music resources and more than 20,000 free online radio stations, can also support more than 10 million audiobook resources and 8.5 million news information; Baidu real-time navigation system covers map data of up to 10 million kilometers and makes accurate route recommendations based on AI artificial intelligence technology. It is not only a humanistic care, but also an insight into the needs of users.
At the same time, ONCOVIS Plus is also equipped with a new generation of OnStar OnStar full-time online assistant, covering more than 50 major services in 5 categories, and providing 100G "OnStar OnStar Star Car Application Lifetime Free Traffic" service every year, which can make your travel more convenient.
Here are a few simple examples:
You need to drive out of the door, before entering the vehicle you can remotely control the vehicle through the mobile phone APP to set the destination and check the vehicle.
Sitting in the car through the call center of OnStar, you can query the road conditions, destination weather and other information.
In the event of a traffic accident or physical discomfort during the driving process, you can find 24h rescue through the "red and blue" buttons. Once you arrive at your destination, OnStar will also evaluate your driving style and vehicle condition, which will allow you to have better driving habits.
It is worth mentioning that on the hot topic of "assisted driver who is smart", the empowerment of VIP intelligent electronic architecture has also unlocked more assisted driving functions for Uncovi Plus. It is equipped with a number of eCruise intelligent driver assistance technologies, including FCA Forward Collision Warning System, SBZA Side Blind Zone Warning System, LKA Lane Keeping System, and PD Pedestrian Identification System.
In the future, under the high transmission efficiency and expansion potential of VIP intelligent electronic architecture, ONCOVIS Plus will also truly achieve common use and constant innovation through multiple OTA upgrades in a year.
Smart cars ≠ technology display tools, and Oncovie Plus understands Chinese consumers better
SAIC-GM Buick's deep cultivation in intelligent technology, through the understanding of the previous article, we have seen it, and in addition to the continuous progress in the face of the intelligent era, ONCOVIE Plus still continues the brand to understand the design and driving concept of Chinese consumers.
For example, as the carrier of intelligent fuel vehicles, Oncovi Plus is equipped with the well-known 2.0T variable cylinder turbo engine of the General Family, with Tripower variable valve management technology, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers can be as fast as 7.5 seconds, while taking into account fuel economy, fuel consumption control is quite good.
The self-developed 9AT gearbox is also sincere enough to calibrate the driving habits of Chinese users, with faster response speed and smoother gear shifting experience, continuing Buick's consistent characteristics of good power and good control, so that driving is more confident.
In addition, the independent suspension of the four connecting rods, together with the e-Boost electronic assist brake system and the intelligent four-wheel drive system, further optimize the traceability and stability of the Oncovi Plus. The Ivy model also features CDC's full-time active hydraulic damping system and the FlexRide Four-Mode Adaptive Driving System. Coupled with the luxurious and comfortable riding experience brought by the 2945mm, golden ratio body design, it is fully in line with the travel habits of Chinese consumers.
It is true that in the face of intelligence, the hottest topic at present, SAIC-GM Buick, which actively embraces change, has resolved the embarrassing situation that fuel vehicles are not intelligent enough through advanced VIP intelligent electronic architecture. As the epitome of wave-chasing intelligence, Oncway Plus, through the outstanding performance of intelligence as competitiveness at the product level, further proves that new energy vehicles and intelligence have never been equated. At the same time, under the concept of car building that understands Chinese consumers better, it retains the brand's consistent excellent driving quality, or it will become a new benchmark for fuel intelligent vehicles.
