When the car evolved from the cold "mechanical cockpit" to the "human-machine co-driving", I found that it was really very "capable".
Outside the car, its sensors give you worry-free and easy automatic assisted driving. Inside the car, its smart cockpit can be turned into a big bed room, a K-song room, a game hall...
Unlike autonomous driving, which is currently constrained by legal and ethical relationships, the boundaries of the latter's smart cockpit can be more open, and the space for imagination is more endless...
Speaking of smart cockpits, we first have to mention Tesla, Xiaopeng Motors, these new forces that subvert tradition. The reason why they are popular all over the country, in addition to the top electric technology, assisted driving technology, but also because of "fun".
As the originator of automotive intelligence, Tesla is committed to making its cockpit like a large game hall:
From the introduction of the earliest "ATV Racing", to the domestic consumers like "Happy Fighting Landlord", "Happy Mahjong", and now "Cyberpunk 2077" and other AAA game masterpieces are all available.

With Tesla benchmarking Xiaopeng car also has no lack of gimmicks, P5 one-button to open the seat is completely flat sleeping space, but also can watch movies, watch balls, play games, sing K, rounding is equivalent to having a mobile entertainment place.

Then to the recent emergence of The Pole Fox Alpha S, The Boundary M5, Avita 11, etc., which have recently been empowered by Huawei's Hongmeng system...
In just a few years, with the penetration of artificial intelligence, big data, 5G and other technologies into the car, the cockpit function of the car has become more and more powerful, so it has also been given the attribute of "intelligent third space".
But what exactly is a smart cockpit? Is it enough to have a multi-screen car machine system, or to have a fun and comprehensive application ecology?
From an academic point of view, the automotive intelligent cockpit is through the integration of hardware (dashboard, display, HUD, smart seat, air conditioner, etc.), software (operating system, application software, etc.), human-computer interaction (speech recognition, face recognition, gesture recognition) to achieve intelligent interconnection of people, cars and roads.
The interconnection of people, vehicles and roads is essentially a process of human-computer interaction.
Q&A M5
It meets the owner's desires as much as possible. For example, when the owner enters the car, the system will automatically set the appropriate seat position; for example, if the owner is hungry, he can directly recommend and navigate to the restaurant with a simple command...
It should also be as practical as possible, not a troublemaker, and not a gimmick under the stack of functions.
Remember the "health car" EV6 launched by Skyworth last year? A car can actually monitor blood pressure, heart rate, brain wave hypnosis, and the seat can lie flat and take a nap with one button...

The official positioning of it is a new energy health smart SUV. It sounds a bit unclear, but think carefully about this is not something that Huawei and Xiaomi smart watches can solve? Who has nothing to do every day to measure blood pressure?
The answer has been written on the sales performance, online public data show that skyworth EV6 sales from January to March this year were 1207, 1222, 1220 vehicles.
There are many related cases similar to sounding tall, but in fact, chicken ribs. Even the operation logic of the car machine is chaotic, the basic problem of the car machine Caton is not uncommon, no wonder some people in the circle joke that the intelligent car machine that has developed over 100 million yuan cannot withstand a 9-block 9 mobile phone holder.
Therefore, no matter how cool the function is, only the owner uses it well, which is the real smart cockpit.
Like the above mentioned Tesla, Xiaopeng P5, Polar Fox Alpha S, etc. are almost all the products of the terminal price of about 200,000 yuan, the so-called high-tech playthings do not seem to be grounded enough.
Recently, Auchan Auto launched the 150,000-yuan Auchan Z6, which is equipped with the newly released "Smart Happy Cockpit" and its core technology - OnStyle 5.0 system.
Among them, there are many highlight functions, including six-screen interconnection (car three-screen plus AR-HUD head-up display, mainstream Android mobile phones, smart wearable devices), eye awakening, full-scene voice control, private customized voice assistant, face recognition, gesture control, etc.
Full-scene voice control is the highlight of the highlights, Z6 supports the owner to start the vehicle by voice, turn off the engine, etc., and even outside the car can realize the voice control switch electric tailgate, power window, etc., which is rare in the same level of models.
After the whole experience, the author believes that the smart cockpit of Auchan Z6 has a point worthy of praise: according to different scenes, there are different humanized functions.
It is mainly manifested in voice control. Imagine that when you hold a heavy object in both hands, you only need to say "Hello, Z6 open the tailgate" outside the car to easily open the tailgate;
For example, in the parking lot, when the parking gap is too narrow, the owner can also say a relevant command, which can make the vehicle automatically drive out.
And our actual measurements have found that whether it is voice control, or the response speed of the car machine screen is relatively fast.
Auchan Z6
Although the final price of the Auchan Z6 is still unknown (pre-sale at the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, the IDD version will be listed in June-July), the official has revealed that the positioning range of auchan Z6 is about 150,000 yuan, which is slightly more expensive than the same door and compact SUV - Auchan X7 PLUS.
Different from the X series, which is currently the main sales force of Auchan automobiles, the Z series, which began with Z6, is directly aimed at the young people of the Z generation. They pursue a sense of ceremony and a sense of technology. For them, the car is no longer a simple means of transportation attribute, but also a mobile technology product and social tool.
In the past, we bought a car key to see the engine, gearbox, chassis three major pieces, now young people look at the technology configuration, look at the degree of intelligence, see whether it is equipped with lidar, large screen and so on.
But the key is to see whether it is practical and humanized, so that technology can benefit consumers and create a more convenient car experience for them, which is the reason for the birth of smart cars.
