Intelligent cockpit is one of the most important development directions of the current car, through stronger performance chips, higher specifications of the screen, as well as richer applications, more convenient device synchronization and even the access of AI artificial intelligence technology, so that the car and the intelligent equipment in daily life are highly integrated, so as to bring avant-garde and convenient user experience.
However, no matter which brand of intelligent cockpit technology, the functions revolve around the daily car entertainment and some basic functions of voice recognition control; Would you be surprised if the professor told us that there are intelligent cockpits that can give you driving advice and help you improve your driving skills and run faster laps on the track?
At the 2024 CES Consumer Electronics Show, Lamborghini brought such a set of intelligent cockpit concepts that can help you "drive faster" - Telemetry X Concept.
At the heart of this intelligent cockpit concept is a telemetry system that collects data including but not limited to the vehicle's real-time position, speed, driver signs, and more.
When a Lamborghini supercar equipped with Telemetry X takes to the track, the system recognizes the specific track information and records where the car is on the track at that time, how fast the car is traveling, how many accelerators and brakes the driver has pressed, and how many angles of steering have been made.
At the same time, the biometric system monitors the driver's physical condition in real time, collects physiological information, including heart rate, and measures the stress level accordingly.
All the collected data will be transmitted to the background in real time via the 5G network and sent to the corresponding professional racing coach, who will be able to carefully analyze the data and develop a series of recommendations for the driver to improve the performance on the track, which will become a very important and useful data reference for the track driving course.
Of course, as an intelligent cockpit system, Telemetry X will also be equipped with an intelligent voice assistant; The intelligent voice assistant also reads the physiological information of the vehicle and the driver collected by the vehicle during the driving on the track, analyzes the data through AI and gives detailed suggestions on the racing route, braking points, braking techniques, etc.
At the same time, the driver can also turn on the lap recording mode through voice control, record the entire lap process through the on-board camera, as well as the physical and physiological data recorded by various sensors, and the recording results can also be extracted as reference materials for improving driving skills.
In general, Lamborghini has used the comfort and convenience functions that are commonly used to analyze user preferences, such as artificial intelligence and big data, which are very popular at present, to the hardcore track training content.
Although not all car owners will hire professional racing instructors, with Telemetry X's "intelligent co-pilot" voice assistant and the system's built-in data analysis function, ordinary car owners can also use these latest intelligent technologies to help themselves run better results, so that the performance of the vehicle can be more fully exerted, so that the fun of driving supercars can reach new heights.
Of course, Lamborghini's Telemetry X technology is still in concept and has not given a timetable for its actual launch, but such a set of intelligent cockpits that can help drivers drive faster will help us find more practical assistance that intelligent technology can bring to cars and their users.
Although smart cars are dominated by daily utility models, fierce driving and track racing are not the focus of their use scenarios. However, according to Lamborghini's monitoring and analysis concept of vehicle position, information and driver status in the Telemetry X concept, it can be imagined that if the intelligent cockpit in the future can provide drivers with some specific suggestions on lane selection and driving operation when the vehicle enters a complex road section; Or when the driver is nervous and uneasy due to complex road conditions, it can provide intelligent comfort, guidance and assistance in a timely manner, and even actively provide practical assistance through high-level assisted driving functions, which will effectively improve the actual driving level of novice drivers and improve the efficiency of road traffic, which truly reflects the deep value of intelligent technology at the user level.
Compared with the unattainable fully autonomous driving, the professor believes that the concept of helping car owners improve their driving skills through big data collection and AI analysis is not only more likely to be realized in the short term, but also has more practical value, which is worthy of in-depth research by major car companies!
