A few days ago, Yu Chengdong, chairman of Huawei's intelligent car solution BU, said at the Hongmeng ecological spring communication meeting that he did not understand why the car should be equipped with a mobile phone holder.
Later, he said that the original car navigation performance was not good, and the bracket was used to navigate with a mobile phone.
This description is very interesting, there is no doubt that it is in the original car of Yin and Yang with a mobile phone holder mounting holes Xiaomi SU7;Xiaomi brand is also "not angry", the front foot because of the wrong mark of Xiaomi car motor parameters of Zhiji car and strongly demanded that the brand apologize three times, and then at the product launch conference wrong standard competitor (Honor product) parameters, as a result, the Honor brand jokingly said that there is no need to apologize three times.
It is inevitable that there will be some hot faces after one another, and the high-profile is too high-profile and the drainage is too excessive, so once there is a problem, it will encounter a precise blow from competing companies. Yu Chengdong's evaluation of the installation position of the mobile phone holder reserved for his vehicle is not wrong,XiaomiSU7I'm afraid it's also difficult to refute,If the car machine ecology is really good enough,The mobile phone holder is objectively useless。
However, in reality, there are three types of people who need to use car mobile phone holders, although there are serious driving safety hazards in the process of use.
Drivers who need a phone holder
What are the three types of people who need to use a car mobile phone holder?
Specifically:
- People who need to work with their mobile phones
- Ride-hailing drivers
- Media people
As a practitioner in the automotive field, individuals will have a strange habit, in the process of driving, they will not deliberately glance at the surrounding cars, to see what the drivers are doing, mainly to see how many drivers are playing with mobile phones during driving, how many drivers will focus on driving, and how many drivers can drive happily, of course, just look at it and will not shoot and disseminate, because using mobile phones in the process of driving vehicles is a violation of the road traffic safety law.
Objectively, there are still many drivers who are accustomed to using mobile phones during driving, and there are such drivers around the author, who also like to use smart cars very much when they first use smart cars;
Why is that?
I understand, because I have been in his car a few times, and there have been many video chats, including video conferences, during the driving process, many of which are confidential corporate information or personal privacy, and at this time we are very embarrassed, we have to listen if we don't want to listen, and we will watch if we don't want to watch. So in order to protect privacy, it finally installed a mobile phone holder on the right side of the steering wheel, and the mobile phone was only connected to a small Bluetooth headset, and the mobile phone was also attached with a privacy film.
This is the reason why some people still need a mobile phone holder, after all, the car is not a "single seat", and the mobile phone holder plays a role in protecting privacy to a certain extent; but this also reflects the imperfection of traffic monitoring facilities, and the drivers who use mobile phones during the driving process cannot do without leaking the net, and these drivers are traffic safety hazards! Few smart car users will also use mobile phones to navigate, basically entertainment or office.
Ride-hailing drivers are inseparable from mobile phones, and a ride-hailing driver may have to install multiple mobile phones, which will be operated both during driving and parking.
Without a mobile phone holder, how can they operate the order?
Therefore, Yu Chengdong's description is flawed, and there are many people who need a car mobile phone holder;For example, Xiaomi SU7A few days ago, it was revealed that a certain car owner went to run an online car-hailing car, does he not need a mobile phone holder?
The third type is media people, especially car media, who have to take pictures of the scene in the car at every turn;So these people also need mobile phone holders,And almost all car brands built by technology companies,The brand side will expect the owner to become a brand communicator,Xiaomi car press conference seems to have said that these mobile phone holders are convenient for car owners to shoot short videos。
This is the reason why the car mobile phone holder is still meaningful, but using the mobile phone during driving is indeed a wrong driving behavior, and fixing the mobile phone holder in an unreasonable position does have driving safety hazards;
Want to know why?
The answer lies in the picture below.
Epilogue:
The car mobile phone holder will make it more convenient for the driver to use the mobile phone while driving, but the use of the mobile phone while driving is determined to be an illegal driving behavior;
Unless the intelligent cockpit can perfectly solve the privacy association and protection between the car machine and the car owner, allow taxi and online car-hailing drivers to smoothly complete orders through the car machine application, and help the car media complete the in-car shooting through the in-car camera, no one should deny the value of this configuration.
However, it is still not recommended to operate the phone on the stand while driving.
