The thinking behind the performance evaluation of the vehicle and the machine
As the core of automotive intelligence, the performance of the vehicle-machine system directly affects the user's experience. Recently, the smooth list of new energy vehicles in April released by Master Lu has attracted widespread attention in the industry. Xiaomi SU7 topped the list with a score of 266.2 points, surpassing the previous champion Nezha S. This result undoubtedly gives a shot in the arm for Xiaomi's strength in the field of smart cockpits.
A contest of hardware strength
The performance of the in-vehicle system is largely dependent on the hardware configuration. From a hardware point of view, Xiaomi SU7 uses Qualcomm's latest generation of flagship automotive-grade chip Snapdragon 8295, compared with the previous generation 8155 chip, its AI computing power has directly increased by nearly 8 times. This undoubtedly laid the foundation for the excellent performance of the Xiaomi SU7.
Hardware is not the deciding factor. Although the Ideal MEGA is also equipped with an 8295 chip, it only ranked third in the test. This shows that software optimization is also crucial. Xiaomi's long-term technology accumulation in the field of mobile phones has made it quite experienced in system optimization, which may be one of the reasons why it excels in the field of car and machine.
User experience is paramount
Running scores are important, but what is more important is the actual user experience. Judging from the test data, the Xiaomi SU7 not only has the highest overall score, but also performs well in key indicators such as average response delay and response stability. This means that users can get the smoothest and least stuttering experience when operating the car machine.
After all, the running score test is conducted in a specific scenario, and there will inevitably be certain deviations. The real user experience needs to be tested in practice over a long period of time. For example, mileage, thermal management, system stability, etc., are all important factors that affect the user experience, and can only be fully judged after long-term use.
Ecological construction is the key
In addition to hardware performance and system optimization, ecological construction is also the key to the success or failure of the vehicle machine system. A healthy and active app ecosystem can bring more choices to users and improve the overall experience.
At this point, Xiaomi, with its ecological advantages in the field of mobile phones, may be able to gradually establish its own ecological barriers in the field of car machines. There are big differences between in-vehicle applications and mobile applications in terms of interaction and scenarios, and Xiaomi needs to make corresponding adjustments and innovations.
Opportunities for traditional car companies
In the results of the running scores, in addition to the new car manufacturers, traditional car companies also have many works on the list, such as the second-place Nezha S. This shows that traditional car companies are not lagging far behind in intelligent transformation.
Compared with new car companies, traditional car companies have accumulated rich experience in vehicle manufacturing and supply chain, and if they can seize the opportunity of intelligence and complete both internal and external repairs, they still have the opportunity to take a share of the new track.
Running points isn't everything
Although the benchmark test can reflect the performance level of the vehicle system from one side, it is not equivalent to the strength of the whole vehicle. An excellent new energy vehicle, in addition to intelligent experience, also needs to have excellent performance in multiple dimensions such as safety, energy consumption performance, and vehicle quality.
When choosing a car, consumers should not overly chase the performance score, but should comprehensively weigh various factors and comprehensively consider the actual needs. For car companies, they should not overly focus their limited resources on the pursuit of running scores, but should be meticulous in all aspects to create truly excellent products.
Master Lu's April new energy vehicle machine fluency list reflects one aspect of the current vehicle system development, but it does not fully represent the strength of the whole vehicle. Running scores are important, but we should pay more attention to the actual user experience; Although hardware performance is the foundation, software optimization and ecosystem construction are also crucial.
