On March 30, Ideal Auto continued to spoil the "black technology" of The Ideal L9 on the official Weibo platform, this time introducing the software and hardware configuration of the intelligent driving system equipped with the vehicle, as well as the body structure and strength. The Ideal L9 will be officially released on April 16, 2022, with a price range of 450,000 to 500,000 yuan.
According to the official introduction, the ideal L9 is equipped with an intelligent driving system called "Ideal AD Max", which adopts full-stack self-developed perception, decision-making, planning and control software to ensure the reliability of the system and rapid iterative growth.
Among them, the AEB automatic emergency braking function used by the ideal L9 is targeted according to the actual road conditions in China, which strengthens the identification ability of pedestrians and two-wheelers, further reduces the probability of traffic accidents, and can also achieve rapid iteration.
In the hardware part, the ideal L9 will be equipped with a number of high-performance cameras, including six 8-megapixel cameras and 5 2-megapixel cameras, which can achieve all-round monitoring of the 360° around the body, of which the two 8-megapixel cameras directly in front of the vehicle can identify and monitor vehicles, pedestrians and cone barrels within 550 meters of the 120° wide-angle range in front of the vehicle.
In addition, the ideal L9 will be equipped with forward-facing vehicle-grade lidar equipped with 128 lasers, global resolution of 1200x128, the number of point clouds reached 1.53 million / s, in the low light, strong light and other camera-limited environment, such lidar can ensure that the system's perception of the environment is always maintained in a high accuracy, and help vehicles to improve the identification of stationary and special-shaped obstacles, such as: accident stationary vehicles on the highway, construction barricades and other objects, greatly improving safety.
In the software part, the ideal L9 intelligent driving computing power platform installed two NVIDIA Orin-X processors, the final force will reach 508Tops, the dual processors are redundant with each other, making the intelligent driving system run more stable.
At the safety level, the power system, steering system, braking system and computing power platform power supply system of the ideal L9 are also designed with redundancy to ensure the reliability of these systems during operation. With the above million-level hardware and software configurations, the ideal L9 will have all-scenario navigation assisted driving capabilities. Ideal Auto said that these functions will gradually be activated in various cities with the opening up of relevant policies in various regions.
In addition, the ideal L9 is also equipped with an intelligent driving interaction system, when the intelligent driving function is turned on, the safe driving interaction screen and HUD will provide important environmental and prompt warning information. In addition, with the blessing of high-performance cameras, lidar and powerful image processing capabilities, there will be richer and more accurate graphic information in the central control display.
In the configuration section, the ideal L9 will be equipped with a new capacitive sensing steering wheel, fatigue and attention warning system, and an electric preload seat belt in the main car. Outside the car, the Ideal L9 is equipped with 5 intelligent driver assistance lights to alert pedestrians and other road traffic participants, and the Ideal L9 is currently in a state of intelligent driving.
In addition, the ideal L9 also has a "sentinel mode" that monitors both inside and outside the car, and the 3D ToF sensor in the car can perceive the environment in the cockpit in real time, and the camera outside the car can monitor the surrounding environment of the vehicle in real time, so that we can be more at ease.
In terms of body structure, according to the official introduction, the ideal L9 will have a very good body torsional stiffness, in addition to the use of high-strength steel and thermoformed steel ratio of more than 80%, in the most stringent double-sided 25% bias crash test can reach an excellent level. At the same time, the front is equipped with double aluminum alloy anti-collision beams, which can effectively decompose the impact force from the front in the event of a collision.
In terms of battery protection, the battery pack of the ideal L9 adopts a double protection design composed of side guard beams and aluminum alloy shells, which can ensure the safety of the battery pack even in the harsh side column collision and bottom support tests.
