The M7 has ushered in a major safety upgrade, and this time the changes are not small, which is directly related to the personal safety of every driver. The safety system has been upgraded to include a "take over now" voice reminder, does this mean that we are safer while driving? Or will this make the price of the M7 "go up"?
The M7 security upgrade is really not covered. In the past, when we were driving, we were always worried about this and that, especially those sudden situations, which could cause accidents if we were not careful. But this M7 upgrade, the main feature is a new feature - "take over immediately" voice reminder.
It turned out that the development team had already taken shape at last year's auto show. They collected feedback from many users and found that most drivers are still slow to respond to emergencies under the automatic driving of the system. This has a direct impact on the safety of driving. So, the team began to think about this "immediate takeover" feature, which aims to make the vehicle safer and more reliable when it matters most.
The first few versions were less than ideal, either because the voice alert was too late or the false positive rate was too high. The engineers worked overtime and tested countless times, finally arriving at a relatively satisfactory version earlier this year. This version of the voice alert is more timely and accurate, and false positives are virtually eliminated.
Some drivers feel that this is a good life-saving feature, especially on the highway, once an accident occurs, being able to take over in time can greatly reduce the possibility of an accident. But at the same time, this upgrade has also made many people worried, after all, good things are generally not cheap, does this mean that the price of the M7 will increase as a result?
The question of price is indeed a big one. As a rule of thumb, any technology upgrade can lead to an increase in costs. Once the cost increases, it will be passed on to the consumer, and the price will increase. The market positioning of the M7 is originally in the middle and high-end, and if the price goes up to a higher level, it will definitely affect the choice of many consumers.
They believe that safety is no small matter, especially the safety of life, and it is definitely worth spending more money to ensure it. And in the long run, the safety performance of the vehicle can be improved, which can reduce the occurrence of accidents, thereby reducing the cost of maintenance, and perhaps in the overall calculation, it is actually saving money.
From auto shows to networks, from experts to ordinary consumers, everyone is paying attention to this change. The marketing departments of car companies are not idle, and they have begun to use this upgrade to make a fuss, launching various promotional activities in an attempt to attract more consumer attention and purchases.
During the event, they emphasized the importance and practicality of this upgrade, and even arranged a test drive event for consumers to experience first-hand the charm of the "immediate takeover" function.
The test drive was quite successful, and many people who had tested it had raved about the feature. They said that during the test drive, they did feel a significant increase in safety.
Some drivers shared an episode from their test drive: when they were driving on a test road that simulated an unexpected situation, a "take over immediately" warning sounded, and their instinctive reaction made them take over the steering wheel immediately, and the car did avoid a simulated accident because of this timely operation.
However, some users said that although this technology is very advanced, they still feel a little inconvenient in actual operation. Some users reported that the system occasionally sent out takeover prompts during non-emergency situations, which made them feel a little irritated.
The discussion on the issue of price has not stopped. Some analysts pointed out that although the initial investment has increased, from the perspective of savings in insurance costs, this technology upgrade is actually cost-effective in the long run. Insurers are also starting to consider offering lower insurance rates for vehicles equipped with advanced safety features, which is undoubtedly an added benefit for consumers.
In this discussion of technology, security, cost, and market choices, everyone has their own opinions and choices. Whether for or against, this safety upgrade has undoubtedly increased the topic and attention of the M7 in the market, and has also made more people start to think about the importance of automotive safety technology and the future development direction.
