Chapter 183 Obstacle Avoidance System
From the perspective of internal structure, the collision strength of new energy vehicles (pure electric vehicles) is better than that of fuel vehicles of the same level in most cases, unless some brands use too thin iron sheets and reduce anti-collision beams.

Let’s not mention hybrid models for the time being, because there are too many sub-categories of hybrid models, and there is no way to compare them.

It is no secret that Xinghan 001 has a strong collision ability. Some time ago, a wave of collisions at the auto show shocked some brands, and the media also took advantage of this incident to stir up a wave of Xinghan 001's popularity.

It’s just that some consumers don’t buy it. They suspect that Xinghan Zhixing is cooperating with other brands to act in a play.

Are other car companies that busy?
In fact, they were also afraid, and there was nothing they could do. Xinghan Zhixing dared to play this game because of his backing, and dragged them into the water. How could they watch such a thing happen?Collision is no good.

It is natural to win, but the sales plummeted if you lost. Just look at the sales of a certain Japanese car that fell by 27% in a single month after the collision.

Most of the car companies are quite conscientious these days. After 2015...that is a completely different situation. The top-selling Passat is a more obvious example, let alone the rest.

It's just a Volvo that makes a lot of noise, but relying on safety alone as a selling point... sales can't get up.

Since the collision test can't be done, can a separate test be done?Xinghan 001 has never been afraid of these things. Chen Zifan has very strong confidence in the materials, configuration, and safety of the cars he produces.

Although many people have test-driven the Xinghan 001, there are very few people who have test-driven this car nationwide. Fortunately, the publicity was in place some time ago, and many car critics came here admiringly.

Chen Zifan was not stingy, and directly recharged a large number of car reviewers, but his requirements were different from those of some manufacturers. He asked to introduce the advantages and disadvantages of Xinghan 001 as objectively as possible, which would be more real.

And some car companies are not allowed to talk about shortcomings when recharging car reviewers, and some car reviewers will choose to refuse to cooperate, but most of them will agree.

After all, to make money, to live...

Even if Chen Zifan made such a request, these car reviewers still praised Xinghan 001 during the static experience process. After Xinghan 001 is released, there will be mass-produced test cars. It will be more interesting to test this.

But Chen Zifan will not be like some car companies, who will send some special cars when they come up. He doesn't have the time to play this in order to increase traffic.

After all, there are still a small number of people who read car reviews. For many consumers, there are nothing more than three main channels to learn about a car: brand, appearance, and advertisements. They have heard about many brands since childhood.

Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi...

Also Honda, Suzuki, Toyota...

There is never a shortage of sales of cars with luxury car brand BUFF, or cars blessed with fuel-efficient and durable BUFF.

These are all car brands recognized by the market, not to mention the appearance, whether it looks good or not is also an important choice factor for many people to buy a car.

But good-looking but without brand blessing, sometimes it will evolve into two results: both good-looking and brand, that is "international big brand, strong design ability", but if it is only good-looking without brand... then it is "garbage brand to fool people with appearance , flashy".

At present, Xinghan Zhixing's brand power is basically relying on the positive output of Stardust Technology. There is no problem with the previous mass-produced cars. There is also a new promotion model. The brand power is constantly improving, but it is still far from becoming a big name.

As for the exterior design...

Appearance design is a matter of opinion. Whether you like the appearance of Xinghan 001 or not, everyone has different standards in their hearts, but they have to admit that Xinghan 001 is definitely highly recognizable among domestic cars.

Chen Zifan's initial thought was:

It can be ugly.

But it must be distinctive!
Fortunately, the final effect is not bad, the design style is a bit more radical, but the integrity is very strong!
The features are also distinct enough.

The rest is the advertisement. I have to say that the quality of Xinghan 001’s promotional video is more than one level higher than that of Xinghan mini. From the perspective of the audience, Xinghan 001’s promotional video can only be described in two words:

Science fiction, domineering!
From the appearance, materials, interior, and functions of Xinghan 001, there is really nothing to choose from, except that it is a tram, but if you put other configurations of Xinghan 001 on a 2.0T fuel car...

The starting price must be at least 30 or more.

Xinghan Zhixing's car-making philosophy has also gradually become clear in this promotional video: comprehensive coverage, precise strikes, starting from Xinghan mini starting at 5.58, and soaring all the way up, there are cars of all price ranges.

In the middle price range, such as Xinghan mini → Xinghan 001, there is a difference of about 13 yuan in the middle. Such a large price range must also be made up. This is exactly what Polestar Automobile does to fill the gap.

However, the positioning of Polestar Motors is relatively low-end, so the price difference of hundreds of thousands in Xinghan 001 → Xinghan 01 has to be made up with other products.

Chen Zifan didn't take advantage of the time when the promotional video was playing and went directly into the test drive car. It would not be too late to wait any longer. He wanted to give the audience a buffer time. At the same time, he could still hear the audience's discussions through his headset.

After configuring them one by one, the audience who saw Xinghan 001 for the first time were all shocked:
"This car..."

"A frameless door? What is a frameless door? Hiss~ so won't it leak in rainy days?"

"My framed car doors are still leaking!"

"It's beautiful! Can't it just be beautiful?"

"The whole car is electronically controlled? Electric seats, electric windows, electric rear door...LCD instrument, head-up display? What is this thing? Oh~ so it is this... Wait! Is this really a car?"

"???"

"Who the hell told me that new energy cars are all rubbish? Look at this gear, it's like flying an airplane! Look at this large central control screen, it's not as simple as a radio? And this air conditioner, the design of the air outlet is really unique!"

"It's just that the steering wheel is a bit too exaggerated? Others thought I was driving a racing car."

"That's how I like it! Unique!"

"It's not that discs are unsafe, right?"

"The handbrake is all electronic? Automatic parking function? Why do I always feel that this thing is unreliable?"

"I think so…"

It's purely overthinking. Xinghan 001 has made the handbrake into a physical button anyway. Some crazy new car-making forces actually integrated the handbrake into the central control panel... Are you afraid that the car system will be stuck?

Fortunately, Xinghan Zhixing uses the Stardust OS and has its own chip, so don't worry about it.

After the promotional video ended, many viewers' brains were still in a state of shutdown. They didn't understand, and they didn't understand why there was such a big difference between Xinghan 001 and other cars when they were all cars?
If I have to describe it, the feeling is no less than giving a 2022 smartphone to people in 2002. The key is that the 2022 smartphone sells about the same as the 2002 feature phone.

It's outrageous, right?

Of course, this description is a bit exaggerated. Many designs on Xinghan 001 can also be found on some fuel vehicles, but the price of those cars...It has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Thanks to Xinghan mini and Jixing X as a buffer, these audiences reluctantly accepted the appearance of Xinghan 001, but they still couldn't control their emotions:
"What is my car?"

"I used to think that I drove a good car, but now...my car is a rough house!"

"I just picked up the car last month and cried..."

"Pain! It hurts too much!"

"Stardust Technology once again backstabbed me! I really didn't expect to be backstabbed across the brand!"

"It's okay, what I bought is..."

"Suddenly I can't speak."

What is it to build a car with the concept of making electronic products without a brand advantage?When the difference in product strength is too large, the brand advantage will soon be erased.

The lower the price, the stronger the effect!
10,000+ is just the extreme price range that most bottom-level consumers can admit. This price...

Even if you buy a so-called international brand, is it really worth it?Is it really what you like?
The functions of Xinghan 001 even include a lot of entertainment functions, such as music, video, games... on the mobile phone, most of the car system also has it, and it also has APP interconnection with the Xingchen mobile phone, as well as Bluetooth and NFC keys. Can be collectively referred to as a digital key.

and also…

That's too much!

It's exaggerated when I think about it for a while. Some people sent by other car companies present don't know how to report to the headquarters. Although they have already reported it, this time it is a mass-produced version!

"How can a mass-produced car do it?"

It's a pity that Chen Zifan didn't answer their questions, and after the audience's emotions came back, Chen Zifan began to say: "I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding of Xinghan 001 after watching the promotional video.

Next, I will take you to understand Xinghan 001 from the first perspective, and introduce some things that cannot be shown in the promotional film by the way..."

At this time, the audience didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Chen Zifan chose a Xinghan 001 with Xingyun blue color scheme. After touching and unlocking it with his mobile phone, the hidden door handle popped out, and then entered the car.

Many viewers are still discussing:

"Looking at it this way, the hidden door handle looks pretty good, right? It looks very technological, and when it's hidden, the side of the car looks great!"

"Is this the frameless door?"

"Wow, this interior! No.1 looks really different! The rear row seems to be quite big, and the photographer can easily make movements with the camera on his shoulder..."

"Wait? What's going on!?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

I saw Chen Zifan's No.1 called the front, and a curtain slowly rose, revealing the...

Steel plate?

wrong!

That is a reinforced concrete wall!

Look carefully and something is wrong?

But how can the audience care about these things now?They only saw a wall in front of them. After fixing a small camera in the car, the photographer got out of the car, leaving Chen Zifan alone.

This is what Chen Zifan requested.

After making some adjustments, Chen Zifan said: "Many people question whether the safety shown by Xinghan 001 at the auto show is true, whether the crash performance is really that strong, whether the safety is high...

We don’t need to argue about its authenticity, seeing is believing, and head-on collisions are not interesting, let’s try something different this time, let’s try the ‘Front 25% Offset Crash Test’, its specific standard is…”

The vehicle is required to hit the obstacle at a speed of 64±1km/h with an overlap rate of 25%, and a dummy is placed in the vehicle. The evaluation is mainly carried out from three aspects: restraint system, dummy damage and vehicle structure.

Since Chen Zifan was sitting in the car, why use a dummy?Before setting off, he scanned the car with the [Stardust Technology] in his consciousness, and confirmed that there was no problem. The mere 64km/h is really nothing.

And because Xinghan 001 is equipped with a rear single motor, the anti-collision ability of the front of the car is very strong. In fact, there is no need to worry about the seemingly risky behavior. Before starting the car, Chen Zifan even talked freely:

"Because in the actual driving process, there are almost no cases where we directly hit it head-on. Most of the cases are slightly angled, and only one corner is hit, just like the test we are going to do now.

By the way, let me show you the interior of Xinghan 001. There is a one-button start button next to the gear handle, but you need to step on the brakes before starting, just like now ~ the starting sound is very nice!

The storage space in front of the gear handle has a special space for placing mobile phones, and it comes with wireless charging.On the central control screen, you can also adjust the angle of the main and passenger seats, the massage of the front seats, the ventilation, and the switch of the head-up display..."

The more understated Chen Zifan was, the more nervous the audience became. Their minds were no longer on the interior or functions at all. They were all focused on when he was going to start the car. Will there be any surprises?
Accidents are certainly out of the question.

Chen Zifan did not continue to procrastinate:

"Okay, let's drive now!"

While in gear, Xinghan 001 will automatically disengage the electronic parking. This is not an advanced function, but it is very rare in this year.

In the No.1 perspective, Chen Zifan kicked the switch, and the speed directly reached more than 60. The whole acceleration process was very fast. The zero-hundred acceleration of Xinghan 001 may not be so strong, but 0-60 is really fast!
The audience called out directly:

"Fuck! Fuck!!!"

"I'm not ready yet!"

"Brother! Slow down! I'm scared!"

Some timid viewers even covered their eyes with their hands and looked down through their fingers.

However, when the Xinghan 001 driven by Chen Zifan was traveling at a speed of 65km/h and was about to collide with it, its speed suddenly dropped sharply, and at the same time it turned sideways, perfectly avoiding the obstacle in front of it.

audience:! ! ! ? ? ? ...

Damn it!
Did you know it would scare people to death?
Chen Zifan made a turn, steered the car around in a circle, and said apologetically at the same time:

"I'm sorry, I forgot to turn off the obstacle avoidance system, and I just want to introduce to you by the way, the obstacle avoidance system of Xinghan 001 can take evasive measures in case of emergency, just like what you have seen.

Some people may have doubts, is there an obstacle next to the obstacle, or a cliff?If this happens, Xinghan 001 will not adopt the avoidance logic just now.

Besides, we are driving the car. I believe that an adult with normal intelligence would not want to put himself in such a dangerous situation and pin all his hopes on a small obstacle avoidance system. "
