Smart car aggressively invaded CES Motor Show

Once upon a time, owning a private car was still an unattainable dream. Later, the car has become an extremely common means of transportation. Until the advent of the new era of big data, the traditional automobile manufacturing industry has also been caught up in the wave of smart interconnection. More and more IT and Internet companies are involved in the automotive industry. Auto consumers are no longer satisfied with power and comfort, and the sense of technology has become an important factor affecting consumers' purchase of automotive products.

The role of the car is moving from a mobility tool to a mobile client and more like a large electronic product, so it is not surprising that it appears at CES. Following Tesla’s great success at last year’s CES, the consumer electronics industry’s exhibitions are increasingly concerned by the automotive industry. The organizers said that this year there will be more than 10 well-known car manufacturers exhibitors, they will bring the latest Internet concept cars, auto-driving concept cars, inter-connected inter-vehicle information systems and battery fuel technology.

Auto companies follow the trend of driving

Google as the first "cracker" opened the road for unmanned vehicles, which also prompted major automakers to accelerate the pace of driverless technology, mainstream car manufacturers are currently concerned about driverless cars. This is evident from ABB, the three giants of the German Department.

Unlike other stunning self-driving cars, Audi's self-driving cars opened themselves to the booth. Audi's newly developed self-driving car, code-named “Jack”, departs from Silicon Valley, California and arrived at the CES booth in Las Vegas after completing a 560-mile long journey. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, head of Audi's technology research and development department and Volkswagen's board of directors, said: "This road test result perfectly shows the maturity of this vehicle technology."

At this year's CES, Mercedes-Benz also released an auto-driving concept car, the F 015 Luxury in Motion. In terms of the autopilot system, the car is equipped with a large touch screen, and people can use it to navigate, browse or watch the outside of the car. The distance sensing control system of those touch screens is embedded on both sides of the car.

The head of the Mercedes-Benz automotive business, Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the Daimler Group, described the future of self-driving cars as a luxury "vehicle" that can provide a smooth and relaxing transportation choice for the occupants. Such a car is equipped with a touch screen and a floating control panel so that any passenger can control the car.

BMW also demonstrated its own autopilot technology, including a 360° collision prevention system and automatic parking technology for multi-storey car parks, and stated that it will be used in its production models in the future. When there is a danger of collision, the 360° collision prevention system warns the driver through the alarm sound and can also stop the vehicle with centimeter accuracy through automatic braking intervention.

Unmanned car technology, which was unthinkable in the past, is becoming a reality step by step. Autopilot frees the hands of drivers and gives people more space and time. It also improves road traffic conditions and reduces human factors. Loss. In the future, driverless cars will be as popular as traditional cars.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles achieve zero pollution

Hydrogen is the only choice for clean energy because it only produces water after combustion, and Toyota has turned its eyes on hydrogen fuel cells. As early as 2013, Toyota exhibited fuel cell vehicles. Last year, Toyota landed at the CES with the FCV concept car. Unlike pure battery power, the FCV concept car relies on the chemical reaction between hydrogen and air to generate electricity, and it transports electric energy to motor-driven cars. The car emissions are completely harmless water.

The most attractive concern for this year's CES Toyota booth is FCV hydrogen-fueled vehicles. Toyota said that they will show their technological capabilities in new energy and their efforts in energy conservation and emission reduction to the world and formally produce hydrogen in the future. The fuel car will have 300 kilometers of endurance.

Even more compelling than the hydrogen-fueled vehicle itself, Toyota announced at CES that Toyota will openly use its 5,680 patents for fuel cell technology, including the 1,970 key technologies of Toyota's latest hydrogen fuel cell model Mirai. This is undoubtedly a good news for many companies committed to the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. We also expect more clean energy vehicles to enter the market in the future.

A wide range of intelligent systems

The debut of the CES at this year's CES has a wide range of automotive intelligence systems, from driver assistance systems, security systems, to service systems, to entertainment systems, involving all aspects of automotive use.

GM’s Chevrolet officially released a new intelligent vehicle-borne system. Its biggest highlight is to support deep self-inspection of vehicle parts and to warn owners when these hidden dangers really affect the vehicle. The system is expected to be officially launched in 2016.

Hyundai Motor also officially released a number of new automotive intelligent systems. The head-up display system can display traditional information such as vehicle speed, vehicle cruise system status, GPS navigation, blind spot detection, and lane departure warning. At the same time, the road information may also be displayed in an animated form, for example, an alert sign appears when other vehicles merge into the front lane, an arrow guides driving when encountering a road exit, and the like. In addition, the vehicle interior monitoring system can monitor the driver's heart rate changes. If the driver's heart rate changes greatly, the vehicle can automatically call for support.

Ford Motor Co., Ltd. also released the new SYNC 3 car-connected system based on the BlackBerry's QNX system. The new voice recognition function can be used for music, navigation, and radio stations. The system can be seamlessly operated via the Siri Eyes-Free voice control function when connected to an Apple mobile phone.

From a global perspective, the reform of the automotive industry is emerging. As the world’s largest automobile country, China cannot naturally avoid this “battle”. Many domestic Internet companies, like Baidu, also have plans to enter the auto industry. The future car really becomes what people call "robots on wheels."
