For models that now advertise "intelligence" and "networking", OTA remote upgrade has become an indispensable function and the most important means of vehicle improvement and evolution. Recently, Extreme Kr 001 ushered in the latest upgrade, officially pushed THE ZEEKR OS 2.0 version remotely for car owners. In the next article, let's combine the actual use experience to bring you a specific introduction.
This ZEEKR OS 2.0 upgrade is another major update since the 1.1.1 version was launched in February this year. This 1 to 2 leap not only modified some vehicle settings for the previous car owners' feedback, but also unlocked the long-awaited relevant functions of the ZAD Extreme Kr Intelligent Driver Assistance System, which is also the most noteworthy focus of this upgrade.
At the hardware level, the Krypton 001 series is equipped with 1 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radars and 15 cameras, and is equipped with two Mobileye EyeQ 5H driver assistance chips. As Mobileye's top driver assistance chip, a single hash rate of 24 TOPS theoretically supports the driver assistance level of L4 or above, which also brings more possibilities for the future upgrade of Extreme Kr 001.
However, although the future will be beautiful in the future, as a car buyer who has already bought a car or a potential consumer, we still have to focus on the present. As one of the most important features of this upgrade (without one), the ACCQA Adaptive Cruise System has finally been unlocked. The system can be started in the range of 0-150km/h per hour, which can realize the effect of automatically following the car when blocking traffic at low speed, which helps to alleviate driver fatigue.
The Kr 001 integrates the adaptive cruise switch and related settings in the multi-function button area on the left side of the steering wheel, the three touch buttons on the right side control the opening and closing of the entire system, and the settings on the following distance (three gears optional) and the speed need to be adjusted using the touch area on the left.
After pressing the start button, the system will indicate to the driver with an audible sound that the relevant function has been turned on, and the corresponding icon will pop up on the dashboard and huddle. After testing, the adaptive cruise system equipped with The Kr 001 is very natural in terms of acceleration and braking power, and has a good experience. In addition, the system still has several features worth mentioning.
1. There is no icon prompt on the touch panel for adjusting the speed and the distance with the car, and it must be understood in advance when driving for the first time.
2. Before adjusting the above settings, you need to slide the touch area to "unlock".
3. The information about the speed and the distance of the car will only appear on the HUD, and will not be displayed on the dashboard.
If the vehicle in front of you brakes at this time, the adaptive cruise system will not exit. After the car in front of it stops for a short time and starts again, the vehicle will automatically accelerate and follow, and the response speed is relatively fast, which is very friendly to the section of the road that is often stopped and stopped.
In the AEB area, the system can identify vehicles, two-wheelers (5-150km/h), pedestrians, and large animals (5-90km/h) within a specific speed range. When other traffic participants approach the vehicle, the driver is prompted by beeping and, if necessary, the vehicle is braked.
The FCTA Forward Lateral Traffic Assist can provide drivers with relevant reminders when vehicles pass through intersections, and slow down or avoid collisions in intersections with large flow of people and a large number of electric vehicles.
The lane departure warning system can be turned on in the range of 60km/h-200km/h to provide reminders to the driver in the form of vibration or beep, but because the lane keeping function is still not online, the system cannot correct the deviation of the vehicle, let alone keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane. So far, the ZAD Extreme Kr Intelligent Driver Assistance System of Extreme Kr 001 is still unable to control the vehicle at the horizontal level and has not reached the L2 level.
In addition to the newly introduced driver assistance configurations mentioned above, many of the previously introduced features have also been re-optimized in ZEEKR OS 2.0.
However, for the above optimization, the manufacturer engineers did not interpret it in too much detail, so what upgrades were finally carried out may have to be revealed by the owners who live with the extreme krypton 001 day and night.
Editor's summary: In the previous 1.1.1 version upgrade, the manufacturer adopted the feedback of many car owners and optimized many details, which is very positive. In the upgrade of zeeKR OS 2.0 version, the introduction of the adaptive cruise system can also change the car habits of car owners to a certain extent, which has a certain effect on alleviating driver fatigue. However, compared with competitors at the same level, the development of Extreme Kr 001 in driving assistance is indeed slightly slow. It is hoped that the lane-in-the-middle function can be launched as soon as possible to provide more convenience for consumers who have already chosen Extreme Kr 001.
