The last breath of the oil truck was "broken", and the real "killer feature" of the autonomous tram was exposed!
When it comes to the development of electric vehicles, some friends may feel that this is just backward production capacity, after all, motors and batteries have existed for a long time, and there will be other energy vehicles in the future.
In fact, the rapid development of electric vehicles has exceeded the expectations of many consumers, when some manufacturers are still developing how to make electric vehicles have a longer range and how to have faster charging speeds, independent brand car companies and NIO have begun to rapidly popularize smart headlights, which I think is one of the biggest killer features of independent brands in the future.
When it comes to car headlights, the original first generation of products used halogen light sources, which were later upgraded to xenon headlights, and now most new cars are LED light configurations. The advantage of LED headlights is that they generate less heat and have a longer service life. A few years ago, Audi invented the flowing water steering LED headlights, which have a pretty good look. Due to the long distance, Audi was once known as a lamp factory, but this has now changed.
Li Auto and Wenjie Auto have popularized the new ADB intelligent multi-beam headlights, which are a set of extremely advanced lighting systems. Seeing this, friends who are familiar with Mercedes-Benz may express disdain, isn't it intelligent multi-beam headlights? Mercedes-Benz has been popularized many years ago.
To put it simply, this set of domestic intelligent multi-beam headlights is commonly known as cutout high beams, which are matched with lidar for use. The system will act like a cutout software to adjust the scope of the light in time by illuminating the distant situation. If the opponent is an SUV with a high ground clearance, the high beam will block the light of the opponent's driver's height, and even if the high beam is used, it will not shine on the eyes of the opponent's driver, thereby improving driving safety (directional lighting).
If the other party's vehicle is a car with a low body height, the light source will block the lower part, and as long as the opponent encounters an oncoming car or pedestrian, the headlights will automatically adjust the speed of light to these areas like a cutout software to avoid obstruction of the opponent's line of sight. Whether it is Mercedes-Benz or its own brand, the principle is basically the same. However, after the combination of the electrification architecture and lidar of the independent brand, the irradiation distance is longer and the response is faster. On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz fuel cars do not have this speed, and the accuracy and reaction speed are not particularly good. What's more, the irradiation distance is not that far.
Literally, the smart multi-beam headlights of electric vehicles are consistent with the lighting configuration of Mercedes-Benz, but the effect is very different in actual use. Moreover, it is basically impossible for Mercedes-Benz's fuel vehicles to upgrade their smart headlights, because this requires a strong voltage as support, which is the advantage of electric vehicles. It is difficult for oil trucks to carry similar functions, which is also determined by its own design, because the voltage of most oil trucks is 12V, it is difficult to support so many high-power configurations, not to mention that this intelligent beam is actually an integrated coordination effect, including independent LED light source, DAB intelligent module, ultra-complete scientific and technological algorithms, long-distance lidar, front and side cameras and millimeter wave radar, oil trucks are difficult to achieve.
All of this hardware and software limit the ability of gasoline vehicles to get the most out of this configuration, which is the advantage of electrified electric vehicles. In the future, electric vehicles will also usher in rapid development in the field of smart headlights, intelligent assisted driving, and charging, so I think electric cars are the best solution.
