Text: Civil Engineering. After rolling the ** volume endurance, rolling up the large screen roll radar ......In 2024, how else can smart cars roll? That is the popularization of volume technology and the volume user experience.
Whoever can let consumers experience the latest technology and solve consumer pain points at a lower cost will be able to break out of the encirclement. In 2024, whether the following technologies are equipped may be the key to determining the competitiveness of new cars.
800v
In fact, after two years of active publicity by various manufacturers, consumers have a deeper understanding of 800V, from a technical point of view, the 800V high-voltage platform has the following significant advantages compared with the traditional 400V voltage platform: faster acceleration, faster charging, lighter battery weight, and higher efficiency.
However, the high cost in the early stage makes this technology only appear in higher-end models, and it is difficult to talk about "popularization", such as the earliest Porsche Taycan.
With the active follow-up of domestic manufacturers, the first of this technology has already been beaten down. At present, SAIC, GAC, Geely, Changan, NIO, Xiaopeng, Li, Xiaomi and other domestic mainstream car companies have launched 800V high-voltage models.
What's more, the price of 800V high-voltage models is also declining. For example, last year's Xpeng G6, Zhijie S7 and other 800V models were sold at prices below 250,000 yuan.
Since then, Geely Galaxy E8 has appeared, the "volume king", officially rolling 800V to the mass market of 200,000 levels. According to the intensity of the "involution" of domestic manufacturers, it is only a matter of time before 800V comes to less than 200,000 yuan. Whether or not it is equipped with 800V may be an important reference for consumers to buy a car.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip.
The intelligent cockpit is an important part of new energy vehicles, and it is also an aspect that consumers are very concerned about. At the end of 2023, car companies invariably rolled up the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, and this trend is expected to continue until 2024. After the 8155 chip is gradually decentralized to 10-150,000 models, the popularization of the 8295 chip will further promote the upgrade of the intelligent cockpit.
Snapdragon 8295 is a flagship-level intelligent cockpit chip based on the 5nm process, and it is also the only 5nm intelligent cockpit chip that is mass-produced at present, the CPU part uses four Cortex-X1 with four Cortex-A78 cores, and the GPU is Adreno 690, and the comprehensive performance is more than twice that of Snapdragon 8155.
In fact, according to the overall development situation at this stage, the 8155 chip is enough, and the reason why car companies are actively promoting the upgrade of the 8295 chip is more for long-term considerations, in order to allow consumers to truly experience the common use and always new, and to provide more possibilities for the later OTA upgrade.
At present, the new cars equipped with Snapdragon 8295 have Jiyue 01, Mercedes-Benz E-class, Xiaopeng X9, Galaxy E8, Zeekrypton 007 and other models, and those that have not yet been listed include Xiaomi SU7, Leap C10 and so on. In particular, Leap C10 may be able to hit the ** of the 8295 chip to the 150,000 level, which is worth looking forward to.
Intelligent AI model.
Just today, Meizu announced that the company will make strategic adjustments, and will fully invest in the strategic layout of AI, reconstruct Flyme OS, actively embrace OpenAI and other top international large model teams, and build a new AI ecosystem.
Therefore, there is no doubt that in the next few years, "AI" will be in charge, and with the continuous development of AI technology, more and more manufacturers have begun to combine this function with cars, and the tide of "AI large models" on cars has begun.
At present, the most widely used, the fastest to complete the popularization should be the car AI assistant, the previous voice assistant can often only achieve conventional vehicle function control and simple information query, after the introduction of AI, through the language model can achieve richer, extensive, natural human-computer voice interaction, the interaction ability is not only limited to vehicle control and information query, but also to achieve more other functions you don't expect.
Previously, Li Auto has been on the car Mind GPT, and BYD is developing the Xuanji AI model, coupled with Huawei's Pangu model, Tangshang Automobile's AI model, and Volkswagen's cooperation with Openal, it will definitely become more and more popular in 2024.
Written at the end: Of course, the technological involution in 2024 will not be the only one, others including intelligent light groups, high-speed motors, active chassis, and high-end intelligent driving will be the key development directions, and will become more and more popular. So if your demand for a car isn't so strong, you might as well wait and see what happens, and wait to do big things with little money.
