The 2024 Deep Blue Automobile New Year Family Banquet was successfully held
A few days ago, the 2024 Deep Blue Automobile New Year Family Banquet was successfully held, with Chongqing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, and Shenzhen linked. This family banquet has two extraordinary meanings for Deep Blue Automobile. First, Deep Blue Auto is a new brand full of technology, fashion and youthful vitality, adhering to the spirit of daring to break through the challenge, and is committed to providing consumers with a more attractive green travel experience. The second is the user level. The young users of Deep Blue Automobile, they are the backbone of society, and they also lead the future social development trend. In 2023, with the "debut" of the brand, the "street" of the product, the "line" of the technology, and the "going to sea" of the market, Deep Blue Automobile will truly achieve a comprehensive "out of the circle". This year, Deep Blue Automobile stood tall with two products. Positioned as "the most interesting electric sedan in the 15-200,000 class", the Deep Blue SL03 has won more than 20 authoritative awards since its launch for more than a year with its excellent product strength, and the second model of Deep Blue S7, which is positioned as a "super fun electric SUV", is also unstoppable and has won various honorary awards. This year, Shenlan Automobile continued to strengthen the industrial ecological layout and accelerate the globalization strategy. At the same time, Deep Blue Automobile launched its overseas strategy, and in November 2023, Deep Blue DEEPAL L07 (named Deep Blue SL03 in China) and DEEPAL S07 (known as Deep Blue S7 in China) were launched for the first time in Thailand. In the future, Deep Blue Automobile will continue to promote its internationalization strategy and accelerate its expansion into overseas markets such as ASEAN and Europe. In the face of more fierce competition in 2024, Shenlan Automobile has formulated a new strategy of "new and fast", "more sincere and sincere", and "to create and think" around products, technologies and services, and to accelerate the start of a new journey of brand development. Products & Technologies - New and Fast. In terms of products, from 2024, Shenlan Automobile will accelerate product iteration and launch at least 3 models every year to meet the travel needs of different users with richer configurations and a more complete product matrix. Among them, its third model, Deep Blue G318, has been exposed this month. In 2024, Deep Blue Automobile's "super range extension" technology will be upgraded around the three aspects of "performance, driving control, and battery life", and the four major values of the core technology advantages of super range extension, "pure electric drive, long battery life, low energy consumption, and true safety" will be fully advanced. In terms of intelligence, by strengthening technology research and development and application, the overall intelligence level will be upgraded to a higher level, and the car experience will be comprehensively improved.
The "light map" route will become mainstream
A few days ago, the crowd-sourced map solution created by Meixing Technology and Lingjun Technology Regulatory Control System was released, and the high-speed NOA has reached the quasi-mass production state. Since 2023, the technical route of "heavy perception, light map" has become the mainstream. Due to the traditional production of high-precision maps, professional map collection vehicles and fine manual annotation, the high production cost and long production cycle limit its large-scale application and promotion. In order to replace high-definition maps, intelligent driving players have long begun to explore various solutions. At Tesla AI Day 2021, Tesla showcased real-time, high-precision maps from in-vehicle perception. Through the perception results and positioning results of vehicle-end sensors, crowd-source mapping can be realized by combining big data. Different from traditional HD, Meixing crowdsource map has the characteristics of light elements, light technology, and high automation, and its crowdsource map production system has closed-loop data processing capabilities, which can automatically produce map data that meets the needs of intelligent driving, which can solve the current pain points such as untimely update of high-precision data, slow urban opening, and high cost. The NOA solution based on crowd-source maps, based on the mass production-level domain control of TZTEK Technology, relying on the rich resources of the Horizon ecosystem, integrates the technical advantages and resources of all parties, and is realized through the open and interoperable mode of professional algorithm module SDK, which is different from the full-stack solution and can meet the needs of car companies for self-control and self-selection, and at the same time, the pure vision solution can greatly reduce the procurement cost of car companies.
The world's first brain-computer interface device was successfully transplanted into humans
A few days ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that his brain-computer interface company Neuralink (neural connection) carried out the first human transplant of a brain-computer interface device on January 28, and the transplant recipient is currently recovering well. In May last year, the company received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to initiate human clinical trials of brain implant devices. In September of the same year, the company began recruiting volunteers for clinical trials. Musk posted on the social media platform that preliminary results show good prospects for implantable brain-computer interface devices to detect neuron-related potentials. According to Musk, Neuralink's first brain-computer interface product is called Telepathy, and after the brain is implanted in the device, it can control mobile phones, computers, and almost all devices through them just by mind. Musk said that the first users of this product will be people who have lost the function of their limbs. Founded in 2016, Neuralink focuses on the research and development of implantable brain-computer interface devices. The company said the device, implanted in the brain, could read signals of brain activity and hoped it could be used to treat memory loss, cervical spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders, and help paralyzed people regain the ability to communicate with the outside world and even walk again.
Porsche joins forces with Apple
A few days ago, according to overseas media reports, Porsche is planning to allow Apple to take over the entire infotainment system of the car, and this cooperation will further improve the convenience of Apple users. This week, Porsche announced a major update to the My Porsche app "with the aim of optimizing operations and enabling deeper integration in the customer's digital ecosystem". It is reported that the new feature will be integrated into Apple CarPlay, allowing users to perform operations such as changing the radio station, adjusting the vehicle's temperature and controlling ambient lighting directly from the phone screen. Porsche owners can not only check their vehicles with their mobile phones. In addition, the My Porsche app using the Apple Watch will allow owners to get information about the vehicle directly from their wrist, such as the temperature inside the car, whether the doors are locked, etc. The My Porsche app also has access to a performance dashboard from CarPlay, which displays performance data in real-time. Including the driver's top speed, driving efficiency, average speed, distance, etc. In addition, Porsche will also add Siri functionality to some vehicles.
