The Extreme Kr 001 is definitely a stimulant in the field of new energy vehicles in 2021, mainly thanks to its hunting style, 100-degree battery and relatively low price, and the car's performance in terms of power and handling is also impressive enough. However, under the wave of "new four modernizations", intelligence has become the next track, and it is also one of the most concerned points for users, but this is precisely the weakness of extreme Kr-ZEEKR 001.
How does the intelligence of the models on sale keep pace with the times? It's not hard for a new energy model, as it can be easily done with an OTA upgrade. To this end, Extreme Kr has pushed the ZEEKR OS 2.0 official version of the system to users. For what to see in this upgrade, please continue.
The upgrade involves 33 ECU units, adds 5 new features, and optimizes 59 features for user feedback in ZEEKR OS 1.1.1. The functions of ZAD Krypton Intelligent Driver Assistance System and the abnormal charging indicator function of ACCQA with adaptive cruise with queuing function, AEB forward collision mitigation, LDW lane departure warning and FCTA forward intersection intersection warning have been added. It also optimizes features such as face recognition and fatigue driving detection, steering wheel and exterior mirror heating performance, video software playback settings, and energy consumption display for each system. At the same time, in response to the user feedback of ZEEKR OS 1.1.1, a number of functions have been optimized in ZEEKR OS 2.0, such as One-pedal experience optimization, automatic door experience improvement, driving mode memory optimization, vehicle version display and boot response optimization, Bluetooth and voice experience optimization.
The aspect of upgrading is not less, let's pick the key points to talk about. It is not difficult to find out from the above that the focus of this upgrade is on the aspect of driving assistance. The ACC adaptive cruise function is familiar to everyone, and after this upgrade, the extreme Kr 001 "learned" the queuing function.
(ACCQA function on, adjust and display area)
The operation is very convenient, press the left middle button of the steering wheel to activate the ACCQA system, adjust the speed and the distance with the car through the left trackpad, slide up and down to adjust the speed, left and right for the car distance, the relevant information can be displayed through the huddle in front, convenient for users to operate blindly in driving, so that convenience and safety are guaranteed.
(ACCQA Adaptive Cruise with Queuing Function)
This function can be used in the full speed domain (0-150km/h), in addition to automatic car following, the biggest highlight is that it can be started and parked with the car in front of it, which is extremely convenient to use on urban roads. The overall feeling is relatively good, the system can reserve a sufficiently safe waiting distance when starting and stopping, and the braking and starting action are very soft, there is no sense of abruptness, but in the case of forced congestion at the intersection, it is another story.
Extreme Kr - ZEEKR 001
If there is no vehicle to follow in front of the vehicle during driving, the system will adjust the vehicle to the speed you set for cruising, which can be understood as a more advanced cruise control mode, which can greatly reduce the fatigue of long-distance driving of the user in high-speed road conditions.
AEB forward collision mitigation does not provide a corresponding experience scenario in this experience, but during the use of ACCQA, sensors such as radar and cameras can quickly scan and identify when facing vehicles changing lanes in front of them, and inform the driver through sound and visual markings. When the system determines that there will be a risk of collision, it will perform emergency braking, if the distance from the front car is relatively close, the system will also slow down, it is worth saying that the braking force output at this time is very linear, will not bring discomfort to the people in the car.
(LDW Lane Departure Warning)
The LDW lane departure warning function needless to say, it is not a trendy configuration, and the lane keeping function has not been activated on the extreme krypton 001, and it is hoped that it can be used after the next OTA, because it is more practical than LDW, and it can also complement ACCQA to bring a more complete driving assistance experience.
In terms of functionality, I think the FCTA front intersection warning is more practical than AEB, and can also be regarded as a derivative function, because AEB mainly detects objects in front of it, while FCTA is to deal with unexpected situations on the left and right sides, which is of great help to novices, especially in the face of "ghost probe" situations, the system can help you respond quickly.
Due to the limited experience time and environment, the upgrade of functions such as charging abnormal indication reminder, face recognition and fatigue driving detection, light show, remote defrosting, etc., will be brought to you after we get the test drive.
Write at the end:
Although the OTA upgrade of Extreme Kr 001 has brought a lot of new features and optimizations to related functions, it is undeniable that in terms of driving assistance, it is still conservative compared to competitors, and the dishes are not put together at once, perhaps to keep users looking forward to it.
It is understood that the Extreme Kr OTA will carry out 5 major version updates this year, and several small version experience optimizations. According to the phases, the cruise function will continue to be improved in the future; the autonomous navigation and some parking assistance functions will be realized in the high-speed and urban expressway scenarios; and the pilot scenario and the parking scenario will continue to be expanded.
