More high-tech than Tesla! These Chinese cars dare to sell 300,000+ netizens: sell cheap!

Judging from the layout of pure electric cars in previous years, most pure electric cars actually dominate the middle and lower price markets, after all, for consumer audiences, they are more of a pure electric transportation feature that gives "zero fuel consumption". And when a pure electric model is marked with the label of "high-end", in addition to the pure electricity, they also have more intelligent technical embodiment at the consumption level.

In the direction of human definition of the future travel of automobiles, the application of intelligent driving in actual scenarios is one of the development trends of automotive technology development. Although the driving scene of "leaving the steering wheel with both hands and lying flat in the driving position" has not yet been realized, today's intelligent automobile technology has another interpretation in terms of driving convenience and driving safety.

For example, the Zhiji L7 and Weilai ET5 from Zhiji Automobile, as independent brands, they have pulled the price to 400,000, and consumer users will not feel that their pricing has any cost-effectiveness, after all, the Tesla Model 3 that "cuts leeks" and sells tens of thousands of units every month is only 200,000.

However, in terms of product technology, they are not just pure electric drives. The intelligent driving and riding embodied in the technology is their biggest selling point for the application of autonomous driving assisted driving in the actual scene.

At the opening of NIO DAY in 2021, NIO released the brand's second flagship sedan, THE ULCO ET5, which is positioned as a mid-size car and has a higher starting price than models such as the popular Model 3 and Xiaopeng P7. In addition to the high-end driving texture stacked up in the configuration, in the eyes of Weilai, the intelligence of Weilai ET5 is worthy of its pricing.

THE DEFINITION OF NIO ET5'S DRIVING INTELLIGENCE COMES FROM THIS SET OF NIO AUTONOMOUS DRIVING NIO AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM (NAD) AND THE HARDWARE OF THE ADAS PLATFORM.

In terms of hardware equipment, NIO ET5 is equipped with 1 long-distance accuracy lidar, 4 3 million pixel high-sensitivity surround view cameras, 5 millimeter wave radars, 7 8 million high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars. This SET of NAD systems hash rates of up to 1016 TOPS.

In terms of working logic, this set of NAD systems has certain similarities with Xiaopeng NPG City Function and Tesla's FSD, all in order to maximize the convenience of drivers operating vehicles. The computing power of this NAD system is 7 times that of Tesla FSD.

In terms of practical scenario applications, Li Bin, founder of WEILAI, said that this set of NAD systems follows the service field rather than functional logic. In the vernacular, this NAD system can only play its role in "specific environments". For example, when the road surface is covered with ice and snow, the system cannot be used properly. Under normal high-speed road conditions, the NAD system can help maximize the "energy saving driving".

From the above official statements, we have noticed two points of information.

First, the NAD system mainly relies on many high-precision sensing elements equipped to identify traffic surfaces and traffic signs, so as to identify the road environment through algorithms to achieve intelligent driving assistance. In other words, when the "road-specific fixed logo" is lost, this set of functions seems to be less intelligent.

Second, "This service can be selected under high-speed conditions..." Does this mean that the NAD system is currently limited to high-speed traffic conditions? The embodiment of its functions is not much different from the current L2 level of driving assistance in use.

Xiaopeng Motors next door is gradually "liberating" the urban NGP function, while Tesla's FSD is exploring "visual automatic driving" through continuous optimization of technology to unlock autonomous driving in more complex road environments. And NIO NAD does not seem to have shown a very obvious advantage.

Zhiji Automobile is saiculated by SAIC Motor's first high-end intelligent brand, and the brand's first mass-produced model, the Zhiji L7, has fixed its price at 408,800 yuan. To a certain extent, it has refreshed consumers' new cognition of this new brand.

Since zhiji L7 sold to the price range of 400,000, under the flowery rhetoric, Zhiji L7 has many highlights.

The concept-designed body has 0.21Cd ultra-low wind resistance, 3.9 seconds of performance performance, long-term endurance of up to 655km, and the unbounded interactive cockpit that dominates intelligent immersion, etc. are all interpretations of the future form of intelligent cars by Zhiji L7. Of course, it can not be without this set of intellectual IM AD system on it.

The Zhiji IM AD system includes 32 high-performance perception hardware in the hardware configuration, including high-precision sensing elements such as high-precision cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and ultrasonic sensors. Through the high-precision map and V2X vehicle-side technology, the sensing measurement of road conditions is realized to realize the intelligence of vehicle driving assistance.

In the actual driving environment, the advantages of this set of Zhiji IM AD system of Zhiji L7 are mainly reflected in the automatic driving in the complex road environment of vehicle lane change, line turning, and night driving.

For example, if you encounter a vehicle jam in front of you, or a truck in front of you. The Zhiji IM AD system performs actions such as deceleration, lane change, and overtaking based on the "intent calculation" of the "obstacle vehicle".

Through data-driven algorithms and the data reflow generated by mass-produced autonomous driving products, the calculation ability of the vehicle driving environment is continuously updated. Compared with the mainstream intelligent driving assistance technology on the market, the Zhiji IM AD system is more inclined to the form of unmanned driving technology.

Of course, whether it is for WEIO ET5 or Zhiji L7, the current technological presentation is not their final presentation of automated driving technology. With the continuous updating of the technical level, their innovation in automated driving technology will explain what kind of travel mode of the future car? Let's leave the answer to time.
