It’s been more than a month since I picked up the car, and I’ve driven over 3000 kilometers. Due to frequent business trips, I often spend a long time driving on the highway. Before I got R7, it was really boring driving an old gasoline car on a long journey, just staring at the road ahead, without a screen system. After connecting to Bluetooth, if I wanted to switch from listening to music to broadcasting, I had to switch operations on my phone. Not only was it risky, but it was also very troublesome. But now it’s much easier. We not only have our R7 fully-integrated intelligent driving system to assist with driving, but the three screens in the car also provide a lot of rich information interaction. With the help of voice assistants, it’s really fun! Here, let me share with you what interactive features we can use with R7 during long-distance driving. First, let me show you my driving mileage. It’s not that little, haha.
- Voice interaction system
Speaking of voice interaction, many science fiction works feature intelligent AI robots that we can command through voice orders anytime and anywhere. The voice interaction system of R7 is also very powerful. First of all, it is more convenient than traditional in-car voice assistants. Traditional voice assistants need to be awakened every time they start a conversation, while the voice assistant of R7 can interact continuously in a period of time after waking up. During this period, it doesn’t need to be awakened repeatedly, and it can even recognize which commands are not useful during the conversation. The response is also very fast, and it can execute a wide range of commands, such as closing windows, inquiring about the weather, checking flights, and navigation, etc.
- Heart rate monitoring
You can see from the picture I posted that it shows the fluctuation of my heart rate while driving. This function is really interesting, haha. You just need to place your hands on the metal sensing area under the steering wheel to start sensing. It doesn’t affect normal driving and allows you to check your current physical condition. During long-distance driving, you can easily judge whether you need to take a break.
3. Navigation and Intelligent Driving
When talking about long-distance driving, we cannot miss the in-car navigation. I don’t know if you have ever used the earliest small tablet used specifically for navigation, but in the past, it was quite troublesome for business trips, especially on unfamiliar roads. And older cars don’t have any built-in navigation systems, so we had to rely on a portable navigation device (which needs frequent updates) to guide us, and it is common to make mistakes on the road. But now, with the R7, it is much more convenient. Firstly, it uses Baidu’s high-precision navigation, which can update road conditions dynamically through the internet. Then, with the intelligent driving system, I can easily drive for several hours without feeling tired. The information displayed on the screen is also very rich, including traffic information, navigation information, intelligent driving information, etc. It gives me a feeling of oneness with the car.
4. In addition to driving, the entertainment options during parking are even more abundant. You can watch movies, check stocks, read children’s books, and so on. Especially when waiting for fast charging outside or feeling uncomfortable while looking down at your phone, you can directly watch movies and other things on the central control screen, feeling very comfortable.
Finally, I will share a beautiful photo of my car. I’ve arrived at a shopping mall over here. Let’s get off and start shopping~
