On the weekend of the past two days, Brother Neck went to the shopping mall in front of his house and saw a bunch of car companies setting up stalls there to do activities.
I asked two casually and found that their discounts are quite large now.
After all, it's the end of the year, and everyone wants to rush to the last month to make some sales and do a good job of the annual data. Because when it comes to New Year's Day, everyone has to hand in their 2023 report cards.
To say that the auto market has been rolling up for a whole year this year, many car companies are just looking for sales.
But even if a bunch of people are complaining, there are still people who can turn the tables against the trend.
Others are worried about how to sell a few more cars, and he is now anxious that there are too many orders in his hands, and the factory's capacity is full, and he still can't deliver them.
Needless to say, everyone knows who this is, right?
Since the release of the new M7, it has been a hit in every sense.
What sells 7,000 units a day is worth a month's worth of people. There are also two and a half months on the market, and the order exceeds 100,000 units, and how many cars can't sell so much in a year.
Coupled with the smart driving ** circulating on the Internet, it really made it out of the circle.
By now, the new M7 has been on the market for 100 days. It can be said that in the past 100 days, the popularity of the new M7 has not stopped.
Call it the biggest dark horse of 2023, and no one should object.
You said that the general popular car is quite good if it comes out for a month or two. The new M7 has been around for a quarter, and it can still be so popular, which shows that it does have something on it.
This first one must be the most favored by everyoneHuawei Intelligent Driving
According to the official data, among the 100,000 orders for the new M7, the intelligent driving version accounts for 60%, and the optional rate of the urban intelligent driving package is 75%.
That is to say,Most of the people who bought this car came for Zhijia.
One thing to say, many people would not consider spending extra money to buy smart driving before, but now everyone is willing to pay for it, and Huawei has played a big role in this transformation of consumers.
On the new M7, the usable range of intelligent driving is very wide. Some time ago, it used this set of Huawei ADS 20 The high-end intelligent driving system has been upgraded again.
The core of this upgrade is to enable all highways, elevated highways, and expressways in the country to use Huawei's NCA (and NOA) functions.
Brother Neck has also tried the real car, so let's talk about my feelings.
I drove the new M7 in Hangzhou and had a 5-day in-depth intelligent driving experience. There are days, there are nights, and there are nightmares of heavy rain + traffic jams, in short, except for snow and hail, the usual road conditions have been tried.
The NCA has almost helped me drive 500 kilometers and take over no more than 3 times. For the vast majority of the time, it's done well, including:Lane changes, overtaking, on/off ramps, you can do it.
One of the more comfortable things is that it is very clever in changing lanes: it will not stupidly follow behind a slow train, but it will not immediately change lanes as soon as it encounters a slow train. The overall driving style is close to that of a moderate human driver.
Then when you are stuck in traffic, the instrument will prompt you to lower the following distance, and you only need to adjust to the smallest gear to activate the congestion following mode.
Immediately after that, the car will get close to the car in front, and the car in front will immediately follow, leaving no big distance.
After trying a few times, this distance control with the car is really good, anyway, I didn't encounter the situation of being cut in line.
How strong is this intelligent driving system, let's put it this wayThere are many oil car guys in the editorial department, and it is only after experiencing the high-speed NCA of the new M7 that they understand why so many people buy smart electric vehicles.
It can conquer these oil truckers, so how does it do it?
First of all, the reason why Huawei's NCA can be rolled out quickly is because of this year's ADS 20 start,Huawei has decided to take the technical route of not relying on high-definition maps.
In the previous intelligent driving scheme, due to the limitation of algorithms and computing power, the vehicle's road recognition relied more on high-precision maps.
The high-precision map contains a wealth of information such as road shapes, markings, and traffic signs, and the car can use it directly, so you don't have to worry about identifying it.
But the problem is that the road is repaired every day, and as long as a place moves, the map has to be re-collected, which is not a lot of cost. Moreover, the update frequency of the map is also slow, which cannot keep up with the needs of intelligent driving.
Yu Chengdong previously said that it took Huawei two years to complete the map collection of the Shanghai area, and only about two-thirds of the way was completed.
Obviously, the road of high-precision maps is too difficult to navigate.
Because of this, Huawei turned around and started itFigureless intelligent driving solution
Specifically, they used BEV and their self-developed God (General Obstacle Detection) and RCR (Road Cognition & Reasoning) algorithms.
BEV simply means that the visual information of multiple cameras is combined to generate a three-dimensional space, which is also a common algorithm in the industry.
God and RCR are Huawei's unique secrets, and they are also the foundation for Huawei's intelligent driving.
Among them, God is responsible for identifying various objects. In addition to knowing people and vehicles, you also need to be able to see common objects such as cones and buckets, water barriers, and even fallen trees and fallen cardboard boxes.
RCR is responsible for finding the way. Because there is no high-precision map, how the car should go depends on its own way. RCR is to match the navigation map with the actual environment to "understand the road".
Relying on this set of algorithms, Huawei's intelligent driving can perceive road information in real time, achieving complete mapless intelligent driving.
So after the high-speed NCA was done, Huawei stepped up to do itUrban NCA。According to the plan, by the end of this year, Huawei will achieve high-end intelligent driving in all cities across the country.
Don't worry about whether it's an expressway anymore, you can use smart driving directly on all urban roads.
Speaking of which, the R&D focus of many car companies in recent years has been on intelligent driving. For example, Ideal and Xiaopeng have talked about their plans and nodes, such as how many cities will be opened this year and how many more cities will be opened in the first half of next year.
But at this point in time, you said that you want to find a car that can be used by intelligent driving in the country, I am afraid that only the question world can choose.
Not only that, but in the world of questioning,The ability to drive intelligently is also reflected in parking.
At present, most car companies have engaged in remote control parking, automatic parking, and more advanced valet parking, so that the car can park itself in a fixed parking space.
Huawei, on its part, has gone one step further and taken into account more practical scenarios.
ads 2.0 The valet parking function of the system can be done, after you select a parking space, if there is a car in that parking space, it will be fine, and the system will find a parking space without a car in the surrounding area to stop.
What does it mean to be far ahead...
In addition to intelligent driving, the AEB incident that came out of the circle not long ago allowed everyone to see the active safety capability of the new M7.
It has a collision avoidance system, which has collision avoidance ability in the forward, sideways, and backward directions.
For example, for forward collision avoidance, Huawei has integrated LiDAR and other intelligent driving perception systems into the traditional AEB function. It is equivalent to using the ability of intelligent driving to raise the upper limit of AEB.
While most cars have an AEB braking at around 50 yards, the new M7 increases the AEB's maximum braking speed to 90 yards.
For stationary obstacles, even 110 yards of speed braking can be achieved.
Another big sign of the new M7 is the upgraded HarmonyOS cockpit.
As a mobile phone factory, Huawei's Hongmeng car machine is at what level, everyone can see it. Not to mention smooth and silky, there are also interconnection functions such as application circulation and super desktop, which were also developed by it first.
In the new M7, there are two pads in the rear and can be connected to the cockpit via the MagLink interface.
In this way, everyone in the car has an intelligent entrance, not a privilege in the front row.
And this interface is more interesting, it has a child lock design, you can't press it in by hand normally, it must be close to the magnetic suction port, you can push it in.
When the propulsion is connected to the plate, the linkage with the cockpit can be realized. For example, the front row can control the screen off time, brightness and volume of the rear screen through the car machine.
There are many other similar practical functions in the new M7, such as the addition of sentry mode, and it also supports scheduled start-up, and the setting time is more flexible.
There is also offline map voice navigation. After the Huawei Petal Map of the city is well established in the car machine, if you drive to the mountains and there is no signal, the navigation can also be used normally.
It can be seenThe intelligent ability on the new M7 is the core reason why so many people buy it.
You see, assisted driving has been done for a long time, but it is basically on the basis of adaptive cruise, plus a small function such as lane keeping.
You must know that adaptive cruise control has actually been on the car as early as the last century.
And now, everyone has really touched the intelligent driving that can greatly reduce the driving burden on the real car. Especially this year, intelligent driving has become more and more easy to use after continuous iteration.
Consumers have also moved from rejection to acceptance, and regard the level of intelligent driving as an important decision-making factor in buying a car.
There is such a colleague in the editorial department, he is about to change the electric car recently, and the core requirement is that the intelligent driving must be good, and it is best to let the car drive by himself when commuting to and from work.
So for a few weekends in a row, he didn't even play games, so he went for a high-intensity test drive, experienced various NOAs, and saw what level everyone was.
It is not difficult to explain why the new M7 is so popular, and in the current similar models, its intelligent driving and cockpit level are indeed top-notch.
Therefore, when the perception of intelligence on the user side is getting stronger and stronger, more consumers will turn to smarter cars.
In two days, the M7 and its big brother M9 will be coming.
It is said that in this car, Huawei's involvement is deeper, and there will be more black technology, and even many people have crowned it"The King of Technology".The title.
Brother Neck really wants to see what new things Huawei will come up with.
