Just by looking at the interior design of this car, can you guess which brand it comes from? 99% of friends may guess that it is a car brand of new forces, and it should be a new energy-powered model. But I want to tell you that it comes from a century-old car company, and its famous Model T has accumulated sales of 15 million units. Yes, it's a coupe SUV from the Ford brand, and it's a special model for the Chinese market, so it's reasonable to make a fuss when you see such a fantastic interior.
It is difficult to imagine a traditional main engine factory that will bring such a stunning interior design, a 12.3-inch high-definition instrument cluster, with a 27-inch central control screen, the overall screen width reaches 1.1 meters. It is worth noting that the screen component, not a combination of three screens, the traditional central control screen is actually an overall screen, the resolution reaches the standard of 4K, it can be imagined that such an ultra-wide area giant screen display form, will inevitably bring consumers a very impactful visual enjoyment. And this kind of screen also brings a significant reduction in the interior physical buttons, the advantage is that the central control looks more concise, such a bold design, even if it is a new force manufacturers are difficult to try.
After a brief understanding of Ford EVOS, let's take a look at the "CC-1000T Intelligent Cockpit Evaluation System", which is jointly developed by the Vehicle Cloud Research Institute and partners, adhering to the principle of openness and continuity, subjectively experiencing and scoring the vehicle's cockpit intelligence from several dimensions such as intelligent performance, ease of use, appearance and sense of technology, trustworthiness and innovation. From 2019 to the present, the system has been upgraded to version 3.0 after annual iteration, from the traditional product research and development as the core of the successful transformation to research and development + experience, has tested more than 100 smart cockpit models, so that the huge and complex concept of smart cockpit is more simple and intuitive in front of consumers.
"CC-1000T Intelligent Cockpit Evaluation System" is divided into two categories of scores: basic items and innovation items, and the basic items involve a total of 210 items, each with a 5-point system, with a full score of 1050 points. Innovations are evaluated as independent, and according to the performance of the model, there is also a 5-point system for each innovation, but there is no upper limit on the total score. The sum of the basic items and the innovation items is the total score of the model's smart cockpit performance, so as to completely evaluate and depict the smart cockpit.
Why are we introducing innovative projects? As we all know, the current development speed of the smart cockpit is very fast, every month or even every week there are new functions born, it may not be included in the basic items, but it can give consumers a sense of surprise and practicality, but also has a certain original functional experience, these functions will be scored in the innovation items. According to the intelligent cockpit experience, we classify innovation into three categories, namely interactive function innovation, digital innovation, and cockpit environment innovation, so as to evaluate the innovation of a more complete intelligent cockpit.
The most shocking thing about Changan Ford EVOS is the 12.3-inch dashboard + 27-inch central control screen, which forms a central control "screen group" with a width of 1.1 meters and has a 4K ultra-high definition resolution. Ford EVOS internally uses Ford's latest SYNC+2.0 Zhixing interconnection system, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A processor, such an excellent hardware level, but also laid the foundation for a smooth operation experience. Perhaps with confidence in such a large screen, you can't find any physical buttons in the console area of the Ford EVOS, and its air conditioning, media, vehicle settings and other operations need to be completed in the screen, so the logical design of the system menu is crucial.
According to the data source of the CC-1000T Intelligent Cockpit Evaluation Cloud Platform, Changan Ford EVOS scored a total of 745 points, of which the performance score was 690 points and 55 points in innovation. In terms of "interactive function innovation", projects such as ultra-wide area giant screen, AR real-world navigation + widescreen navigation, and V2X vehicle-road collaboration have scored 26 points; giant screen music playback is the only project selected for digital innovation; other aspects, such as: free secret realm, time and space meson, intelligent Xinfeng system and other content projects, all focus on cockpit environment innovation, with 24 points in each item.
Ultra-high-definition ultra-wide-area giant screen brings immersive visual enjoyment
When it comes to the biggest innovation project on the back of the interior of Changan Ford EVOS, it is not an ultra-wide area high-definition giant screen. It integrates a 12.3-inch HD dashboard and a 27-inch giant screen. Among them, the 12.3-inch HD dashboard has a sharpness of 2K, and the 27-inch large central control screen has a sharpness of 4K, with a resolution of 4032x756. It is conceivable that when consumers play 4K video, the screen can display ultra-high-definition 4K content, which is a visual enjoyment that is difficult for other models to give.
In terms of functions, based on the 27-inch giant screen, the system provides a variety of information such as navigation, entertainment, and road conditions, which not only meets the needs of the main driver, but also can be coordinated with the co-pilot to bring an immersive and interesting experience.
AR real-life navigation + widescreen navigation Novel form higher security
In order to make more effective use of this ultra-wide area giant screen, changan ford EVOS engineers introduced AR real-life navigation + widescreen navigation, especially AR real-screen navigation, which is still very novel for drivers, it can integrate the actual road conditions and navigation information, it feels like playing a computer game, following the corresponding instructions, you can complete the navigation route, enhance the user's convenience and sense of security in using navigation.
The system provides users with "instrument AR real scene navigation + central control widescreen navigation", "instrument navigation view + central control AR navigation & full view" two different views, the operation is also very simple, after starting to navigate, click the real scene navigation: open the "instrument AR real scene navigation + central control widescreen navigation"; click the real scene navigation button twice: open the "instrument navigation view + central control AR navigation & full view" can be.
The 27-inch screen split screen function allows the main and co-pilots to take what they need
In addition to functional innovation, this ultra-wide-area giant screen of Changan Ford EVOS also hopes to bring consumers a different feeling in terms of environmental scenes, of which the split-screen function is the best embodiment. The huge 27-inch screen certainly can't be "exclusive", and if necessary, it is "separated" so that the main co-pilot can take what he needs. The split-screen mode supports the "joint intelligent driving" function, which allows the co-driver passenger to view navigation, vehicle status, road identification and other information, and also allows the co-driver passenger to switch the navigation address and manually draw the screen to the main driver. In order to allow the co-driver to better listen to music and watch movies, it also supports the bluetooth function exclusive to the co-driver.
In addition to bringing the diversity of human-computer touch screen interaction, the split-screen function also strengthens the collaboration between the main and co-drivers, which is the first time in the industry that the co-drivers are formally involved in the driving process, which further enhances driving safety. In addition, the unprecedented visual impact brought by the ultra-wide area giant screen, combined with the echo wall car audio system, also brings users an immersive car experience, it is no exaggeration to say that Changan Ford EVOS has obvious advantages in multimedia display this time.
V2X Vehicle-To-Road Synergy System More efficient road traffic mode
Changan Ford EVOS's V2X vehicle-to-road coordination system is a vehicle wireless communication technology based on the cellular network, which provides drivers with a variety of information reminder functions through traffic light information, such as green wave speed, red light warning, road information broadcast, traffic light signal, green light start reminder, which helps drivers predict the traffic ahead and effectively improve travel efficiency.
It is also worth noting that the V2X vehicle-to-road coordination system of Changan Ford EVOS is data exchanged through 4G networks, so the vehicle itself does not need to install other hardware, and can be deployed on more models in the future. It is conceivable that with the help of the V2X vehicle-road coordination system, in the face of complex and changeable road traffic conditions, the system can greatly improve the driver's driving prediction ability and improve the convenience of road travel.
summary:
I have to say that Changan Ford EVOS's 1.1-meter-wide ultra-wide area giant screen, the visual experience brought to us is very shocking, whether it is in front of the traditional main engine factory, or the opponent of the new force car, it is a configuration worth showing off, and at the same time, it is also perfect in terms of function, split-screen function, AR real-life navigation and V2X vehicle-road collaboration system Participation, let us see Ford, as a car manufacturer with a history of more than a hundred years, in terms of positive performance in scientific and technological intelligence.
Although Changan Ford EVOS does not design physical buttons because of the advantages of screen size, the menu level of the car system is clearly designed, and common functions can appear in the conspicuous position in the secondary menu, so it is still very convenient to use. In addition, Ford EVOS also supports gesture control, such as the "victory" gesture can quickly open the split-screen display function, and this function is still under development, and more different functions can be realized in the future.
