If the fuel vehicle is not able to make the whole vehicle intelligent, it is not to seek progress, and even a small battery is a roadblock
In recent years, vehicle intelligence has become a new trend in the automotive industry, and intelligent cockpit, high-end intelligent driving and OTA upgrades have become the three most representative technologies, but everyone may also see that whether it is an intelligent cockpit or high-end intelligent driving assistance, it is basically around the electric drive model. Including pure electric models, extended-range electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid models, fuel vehicles in these aspects to make "achievements" few, or even no, so the question is, what hinders the intelligence of fuel vehicles?
In the automotive intelligence, a typical scenario is remote control, although many fuel vehicles also have remote control functions, but compared with electric drive models, the overall function is much less, such as the common "sentry mode" on many electric drive models, which has almost never appeared on fuel vehicles.
So why can't there be a function like sentry mode in fuel vehicles? Maybe at the level of technical implementation, various manufacturers have different ideas and approaches, for example, some new energy vehicle manufacturers have realized the sentry mode through intelligent driving chips, and some have achieved the same function through car machine chips. However, for fuel vehicles, one of the most basic obstacles to achieve "sentry mode" is that there is not enough electricity!
Friends who have used the sentry mode know that the sentry mode is turned on overnight, and the battery life is four or five kilometers, or even 10 kilometers, which is very normal, so no matter what kind of new energy vehicle, 10 kilometers of electricity will be lost, at least one or two kilowatt-hours of electricity will be used, but all the small batteries of fuel vehicles on the market have a capacity range of 30-80Ah, and the distance is one or two kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is too bad. Therefore, on fuel vehicles, running the function of "sentry mode", not to mention the gap of chips, just a small battery, completely blocks the possibility of implementation.
Another example is the vehicle OTA, we see a lot of new energy vehicles, especially the models of new car manufacturers, an OTA upgrade, is several pages of upgrade projects, the content of the upgrade, may include power, charging, intelligent cockpit, chassis suspension, etc., basically OTA upgrade once, the vehicle will have a new look in many aspects.
However, on fuel vehicles, many models are equipped with driving computers, which may have very small capacity and processing power, in addition to many fuel vehicles with a lot of high computing power chips, it is also because of the power consumption of high computing power chips, which is difficult for small batteries of fuel vehicles to bear. OTA pays attention to a "parking upgrade", that is, when upgrading, the vehicle cannot be moved, and even the range extension and plug-in hybrid models cannot start the internal combustion engine, so before the general OTA upgrade, the minimum power of the vehicle will be required, which shows that when OTA, the engine can not start, since the engine can not start, then the fuel vehicle relies on a small battery, and it is categorically impossible to carry out an OTA upgrade of several pages at a time.
Of course, it is not that the intelligence of fuel vehicles is difficult to do, it is completely a small battery that hinders technological progress, if this is the case, then it is no problem to assemble a small capacity power battery for fuel vehicles...... No, is this a hybrid?
Therefore, there must be other reasons for the realization of intelligent fuel vehicles in addition to "insufficient power". For example, intelligent driving, now fuel vehicles do intelligent driving, especially high-end intelligent driving manufacturers and products, there are extremely few, of course, they do better, but there is no at all. Why? Because it's not electric!
For new energy vehicles, that is, electric drive models, high-end intelligent driving assistance can be realized, in addition to driving chips, ultra-high computing power, software capabilities such as BEV, electric drive can be said to be the core ability, because the electric drive is more direct and sensitive, and the core processor can grasp the power of the vehicle at any time, basically the technical chip receives the signal, the motor can respond in real time, and there is almost no delay in the middle, which is too important for intelligent driving.
For fuel vehicles, not to mention the combination of generator + small battery, whether it can afford an intelligent driving system with high power consumption, just in terms of transmission, there are natural shortcomings. Even if it is equipped with the same intelligent driving system, after the vehicle receives the signal, it must first be transmitted to the engine computer, the engine must select the amount of fuel injection and speed, and the power is transmitted from the engine to the gearbox, and the gearbox must also shift the gearbox, and then it can be transmitted to the wheels through hard connection.
And the power and performance of fuel vehicles, with unreliability, although electric vehicles also have battery attenuation, but the core processor can be detected, power output and wheel end execution, generally in a controllable state. However, for fuel vehicles, the quality of oil may affect the power, and the wear and coordination of the engine and gearbox will also affect the power performance...... Therefore, when these uncontrollable factors are brought together, the signal sent by the driver assistance chip is completely uncontrollable when it finally reaches the wheel end and is executed.
Therefore, many people question that fuel vehicle manufacturers are too "lazy" in the area of intelligence and are pressed by new energy vehicles, but in fact, for pure fuel vehicles, it is very difficult to achieve intelligence, and a component like a small battery can hinder the realization of most intelligent configurations and operations. Therefore, in the area of intelligence, it is still necessary to look at electric drive models, especially electric drive models with power batteries, like the new X-Trail, which only extends the range and is not pure electric cars, it still cannot be realized.
