On September 24th, the 207th day since the establishment of Jetta, CEO Xia Yiping posted on Weibo to show Jetta’s first car at the simu car stage.
Jetta’s software team has been collaborating with the Baidu Apollo team on the development of the smart cockpit and intelligent driving functions based on the SIMU Car, which is in the early research and development stage.
Jetta adjusts the electronic and electrical architecture of the basic car to prioritize the development of intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving, in order to improve R&D efficiency.
Let’s briefly review Jetta’s car-making history:
-
Jetta was established on March 2, 2021;
-
On the 128th day, the styling design plan was completed and entered the engineering development phase;
-
On the 180th day (August 30), the first model’s clay model wind tunnel experiment was completed;
-
On the 207th day, the development of intelligent software, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit functions was launched.
It can be seen that Jetta is “moving fast” to accelerate the development of the entire vehicle’s intelligence.
However, from the picture posted by Weibo user BBSRID, it can be seen that the Jetta’s new car at the SIMU Car stage has many similarities with the SEA Haohan platform’s Xpeng P001.
