I remember once two years ago I drove to the grassland road with my friends, and when I drove to the Badaling exit of the G6 expressway, the car was blocked on the road without accident. If you are a friend who often likes to travel north from Beijing, you must know that this exit is a regular blockage. At that time, my friend said that I should fly the drone on the roof of the car to see the traffic jam ahead, and then we looked at each other and smiled. Unexpectedly, many years later, BYD really launched the U8 with a drone hangar on the roof, and this is also the tip of the iceberg of BYD's exploration of science and technology.
On January 19, BYD held a dream day event at its headquarters in Pingshan, Shenzhen, and explained in detail BYD's exploration ideas and latest achievements based on intelligence. Among them, whether it is the self-developed intelligent electric fusion architecture Xuanji architecture, Yi Sifang parking technology, Yunyuan body control system and the on-board drone hangar mentioned at the beginning, these all represent BYD's latest technology presentation, and also confirm BYD's chairman and president Wang Chuanfu's car-making concept of "vehicle intelligence is true intelligence".
As the industry's first intelligent architecture with intelligent and electric integration, the Xuanji architecture relies on BYD's self-developed technology of one brain, two terminals, three networks, and four chains to achieve precise control of the whole vehicle, so that it can be fully perceived, centrally thought, accurately controlled and executed like an advanced intelligent lifeform. More intuitively, BYD uses the central brain of the vehicle to unify the intelligent application of the whole car, whether it is the three-electric system or intelligent driving, the central brain can control the whole car through the Xuanji AI large model, and the Xuanji AI large model can also cover more than 300 scenarios of the vehicle through a huge data base, sample size and high computing power, and give the vehicle the ability to continue to evolve intelligently.
It can be said that the launch of the Xuanji architecture marks a key step for BYD in the intelligence of the whole vehicle. This architecture deeply integrates software and hardware to achieve precise control and collaborative execution of the whole vehicle, and also lays the foundation for the intelligent development of vehicles in the future.
In addition to the Xuanji architecture, Yi Sifang parking has become a major attraction of this dream day, and Yi Sifang parking is one of the applications of the Xuanji architecture. We often face difficult problems such as narrow parking spaces and parking spaces on the broken road in the parking lot, and the BYD Yangwang U8 equipped with Yi Sifang technology can drive the wheels to move in the forward and reverse directions through four independent motors, so as to achieve 360-degree rotation of the body in situ, and then accurately enter the warehouse. With Yi Sifang parking technology, no matter how difficult it is to park a parking space, you can "enter". It is believed that the popularization of this technology will bring good news to the problem of novice drivers' difficulty in parking.
Of course, not only parking, BYD also removed the brake calipers and steering axle from a Yangwang U8 equipped with Yi Sifang technology, and output different torques through different wheels of the vehicle to achieve cornering and U-turning. Although the technology is still in the concept car stage, BYD's pursuit of new technology is admirable.
In addition, in terms of vehicle-mounted drones, BYD has joined hands with DJI to create the world's first vehicle-integrated vehicle-mounted drone, and the first vehicle-grade drone library that integrates intelligent storage, automatic battery swapping and charging management. It truly achieves one-key take-off and landing, and cooperates with the industry's leading drone sensor chain to achieve high-definition high-frame rate and low-latency image transmission. This not only makes the use scenarios mentioned at the beginning easy to achieve, but also can be used in professional fields such as exploration and rescue in the future, escorting work in professional fields.
In addition, BYD also brought many distinctive intelligent applications at this dream day. For example, in terms of entertainment, car racing games can not only use the steering wheel to have a hearty racing game, but also connect with the same BYD car owners around them through their own transmission protocols. It is worth mentioning that the steering wheel adopts a decoupling column, and the steering column is disconnected during the game, which can ensure that the tires are not worn. In terms of safety, BYD also demonstrated an intelligent experience in various scenarios such as unlocking the vehicle through the capillary LCC under the palm print, making the palm your only car key.
Overall, these use scenarios of BYD are obviously the results of research and development after a deep insight into the needs of the industry and users. In BYD's view, automotive intelligence should not only be equated with intelligent cabin intelligent driving, but only by breaking the inherent thinking and redefining intelligent vehicles. In my opinion, it is BYD's insistence on the coordinated development of technology and brand, and the development direction of the vehicle intelligence strategy, that has built the brand into a respectable brand. In the future, it is hoped that more car manufacturers will break the inherent thinking and join the competition of vehicle intelligence, so as to bring users a smarter, more convenient and safer travel experience.
