What Is an Intelligent Car?
Many people would say an intelligent car is one that supports voice control, online updates, or driver assistance. However, on HYCAN DAY, September 22, 2021, themed as “Next Second Technology,” HYCAN, a joint venture between Beijing Automotive Industry Group and the ‘China’s Tesla’ partner, launched a more innovative solution to what an intelligent car truly means.
Fully Automatic is True Intelligence
In the words of HYCAN’s Chief Technical Officer, He Kaixin, “We hope that in the future, when you come home or go shopping, watch movies, or other errands, our car can take care of queuing, parking, charging, and maintenance to reduce your extra work and free up every minute of your time.” Like a student who has learned everything, the intelligent car knows what to do. It “reloads” when it’s hungry and “bathes” when it’s dirty. Although the technology still makes it hard to achieve cars with their “thoughts,” it is incredibly close to achieving that through “vehicle-to-vehicle” technology. The ecological parking system, co-created by HYCAN, Bosch, Element AI, Merge4U Technology, brings self-parking, automatic charging, and car maintenance within a designated area. Combining these three abilities creates an effect that is greater than the sum of its parts. Moreover, vehicles can now park automatically in charging spots and return to the ordinary ones automatically. This implies that one doesn’t have to worry about waiting for the car to be fully charged or the additional fees of charging spaces, which significantly reduces the problems of public charging stations.
Speak and Let It Be
The VI intelligent voice interaction system HYCAN launched claims that its coverage rate in the most recent model Z03 has already exceeded 95%, and after OTA, it can achieve over 99% coverage. Improved coverage also considers latency, with a response speed of less than or equal to 500ms to minimize delay when using voice. Simultaneously, binding with one’s voiceprint account, accuracy and precision are simultaneously improved to ensure account safety.
New H-VIP Intelligent Driving System
To cater to users of different ages and travel scenarios’ needs, HYCAN aggregates an all-scene vehicle ecological system under the HYCAN ID, integrating intelligent travel, intelligent office, intelligent entertainment, and intelligent shopping to provide users with a better travel experience. HYCAN’s cabin ecology is in sync with the current trend, but the completeness of its ecological experience will need validation from the experience of the product after its launch.
HYCAN Z03 Gets Comprehensive Hardware and Software Upgrade
The upcoming trendy intelligent electric SUV HYCAN Z03 has achieved comprehensive upgrade on its three-electric hardware. The maximum capacity of its power battery reaches 100 kWh, and the latest generation of stacked flat wire motor is used, which not only saves space for electric propulsion assembly, but also improves the slot fill rate by 30%.
In addition to the upgrade of battery and motor, HYCAN has added a function of learning driving habits to predict driving conditions in advance for the vehicle. It can adaptively adjust the best driving or energy recovery state, improving the efficiency and driving smoothness of the whole vehicle. Under the NEDC standard driving cycle, the 800 km expedition range of HYCAN Z03 will ease users’ anxiety about mileage. The 800 km long-range version of HYCAN Z03 is expected to be launched in the second half of 2022.
