NIO 2.9.0 Update: Several Highlights
The NIO 2.9.0 version update has come with several highlights. Let’s introduce them to you according to their importance:
- Optimized functions of NOP, NP, and ACC automatic follow-up recovery
Under the activated state of NOP, NP, and ACC, the vehicle can initiate automatic restart within 5 minutes after braking behind a preceding vehicle.
- Adjusted lane-changing strategy of NOP
NOP will rely more on acceleration to change lanes proactively.
- Added visual fusion automatic parking system
Although this function was promoted before, our actual test showed that the recognition rate, recognition speed, and UI display were relatively ordinary. The official statement from NIO declared that the new system has realized a significant evolution in its parking and parking space recognition ability compared to the original system.
The most intuitive change is that the system can now identify up to 12 parking spaces and display them on the meter.
After this update, we will test it again to make a comparison.
- Added near-distance summons function
Vehicle owners can control the vehicle’s forward and backward motion through the mobile app under the condition of no one in the car.
-
Newly added intelligent key/NFC card key binding of different accounts
-
Newly added adjustment of the front passenger seat and voice one-click reset on the central control screen
- Newly added quick control widget for the main driver’s seat
These are the main updates, mainly concentrated on auxiliary-driving and automatic parking. By the way, XPeng has also promoted NGP, and assisted-navigation from Tesla, NIO, and XPeng have all made appearances. Next, we will bring them back to the 42Mark test and share it with you. Stay tuned!
