Chapter 739: Xingyi Automobile, so powerful that it has no rivals!

Wang Yi continued, "The Honghu 9100 automotive-grade intelligent driving chip boasts a computing power of up to 2.5 TOPS, which is 2.5 times that of competitors' consumer-grade intelligent driving chips and ten times that of competitors' automotive-grade intelligent driving chips!"

"That's right, our Honghu 9100 automotive-grade intelligent driving chip is many times more powerful than the consumer-grade intelligent driving chips from our competitors!"

“并且与友商只支持2路1080P摄像头不同，我们的鸿鹄9100支持8路2K分辨率的摄像头独立控制！”

"The functional safety level reaches ASIL-B, fully meeting the high-specification L2 level assisted driving requirements!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd!
The HONGHU 9100 automotive-grade chip, although made with a 28-nanometer process, is a professional automotive-grade chip developed by Starry Semiconductor.

Not only does it have automotive-grade safety, but its computing power is also very strong, reaching the level of Mobileye EyeQ4, with performance equivalent to Kunpeng 910 and Snapdragon 820!

The Mobileye EyeQ4 is Mobileye's flagship automotive-grade intelligent driving chip, launched in 2018!

It can be said that the HH9100 reached this level three years ahead of schedule!

"As for how powerful the Honghu 9100 is, I'll just say one thing: it can play Honkai Impact 3rd!"

"That's right, the Starry Sky S5's intelligent driving chip can not only assist driving, but also play 'Honkai Impact 3'!"

As he spoke, Wang Yi immediately had Xiao Ai open "Honkai Impact 3D" for a demonstration. The entire game was in high quality with all special effects turned on, and the gameplay was incredibly smooth!
Everyone is stupid.

Even Lao Huang, who was watching the live stream from his seat, was speechless with astonishment:
"If it can run Honkai Impact 3, its performance is probably at least at the level of a Kunpeng 910! Our NVIDIA Tegra X1 is just as powerful, but its safety doesn't meet automotive-grade standards, so nobody buys it!"

The vice president was also quite helpless: "Performance is one thing, consumer-grade chips don't lack performance. But failing automotive-grade certification and reducing the failure rate to one-hundredth to one-thousandth of that of consumer-grade chips is too difficult!"

"It has to be difficult, but it has to be high-end. If we can't make baseband chips for mobile phones, Nvidia's mobile division can only survive by making automotive-grade chips!" Huang made the final decision!
Tesla headquarters.

Musk must have been cursing too: "It has the ultra-high security of automotive-grade chips and the super-powerful performance of top-tier consumer-grade chips! This is fucking cheating!"

"Sure enough, when chipmakers get into car manufacturing, they're fucking cheat code!"

"And Mobileye from the country of Salad is also garbage. Although their Mobileye EyeQ3 is an automotive-grade chip, its performance is poor and its computing power is garbage."

"As for Nvidia, they can't even handle automotive-grade chips, they're even worse!"

The Mercedes-Benz chairman also got interested: "We could consider replacing the Honghu 9100 intelligent driving chip from Xingyi Semiconductor with the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class next year!"

Audi's CEO had a similar thought: "Compared to the Honghu 9100, the Mobileye EyeQ3 is far inferior, its computing power is too low, it's practically useless!"

BMW's R&D director also had his eye on it: "I wonder if Chairman Wang will sell the Honghu 9100 automotive-grade intelligent driving chip! If he does, that would be great!"

Similar thoughts have appeared in the minds of many car company executives.

Currently, many car companies have the idea of ​​developing new energy vehicles, and many companies have already launched new energy vehicles.

A powerful automotive-grade intelligent driving chip is the core component, and there's no way to bypass it!
"In addition to its powerful intelligent driving chip and superior performance, the Xingyi S5 also boasts an excellent user experience and ecosystem interaction."

Wang Yi continued, "Here in the armrest box, there is a wireless charging module and a wired charging module."

"Wired charging module, Xingyi X interface, supports Xingyi Fast Charging 3.0, 30W fast charging, and supports fast data transmission."

"There's also a wireless charging module that supports Xingyi Wireless Charging 1.0 and 10W wireless fast charging. Just place your phone here to charge wirelessly, and you'll have no worries about battery life!"

"I forgot to mention that the Xingyi X2 series we released last month also supports Xingyi 10W wireless charging. Currently, power banks that support wireless charging are also available in major shopping malls. Welcome to purchase."

Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene was stunned, and the live chat exploded with comments:
"Holy crap! Mr. Wang could forget about such a powerful feature as wireless charging?"

"Other brands would boast about wireless charging for at least twenty minutes, but the Xingyi X2 launch event didn't mention it at all! Looks like they really forgot about it!"

"That's normal. The Xingyi phone and XOS system have many innovations and advanced features, but none of them were mentioned at the launch event. Consumers have to figure them out themselves."

"There's no way around it, the Xingyi phone is just too powerful and has too many functions, Chairman Wang can't release them all!"

In fact, Wang Yi did not mention the wireless charging function, for a simple reason: it is currently considered rather useless.

Currently, the wireless charging function of competing products only supports 5W charging, which is quite useless.

Even with Starry Sky Technology achieving 10 watts, it's still not fast enough.

This is why flagship phones almost never come equipped with wireless charging.

It wasn't until 2017, with the release of the iPhone X and its support for 7.5W wireless charging, that wireless charging was brought into the public eye.

Wang Yi didn't explain it much initially, but now that in-vehicle interaction is needed, he's brought it out:

"More importantly, by placing our Xingyi X2 phone on the wireless charging pad, it can not only be wirelessly charged, but also connect to the smart cockpit system and share data."

"For example, when we go somewhere, we set the navigation location on our phone before getting in the car. After getting in the car, we place our phone on the wireless charging pad, and the navigation on the phone can be directly synchronized to the car's system. The Xingyi Music playlist on the phone can also be synchronized to the car's system for playback."

"Of course, there are many ways to connect. You can also connect via Bluetooth, which will automatically connect when you get in the car. NFC connection and data cable connection are also options. You can also scan a QR code to download the Xcar APP and connect wirelessly through the APP."

"Even other brands of mobile phones can download the Xcar app and wirelessly connect with the Xingyi S5 to realize all functions."

"Not only can it synchronize navigation and music, but it can also synchronize videos from your phone to the car's large screen for viewing."

"It also supports split-screen functionality, with one-click intelligent split-screen: the left screen for navigation, ensuring worry-free driving, and the right screen for video playback, allowing the passenger to enjoy their favorite shows!"

"Of course, you can also synchronize the navigation to the instrument panel screen and use the instrument panel for navigation. The central control screen can be used by other passengers to watch TV series or even play games in full screen."

"However, drivers must still concentrate on driving and not get distracted!"

"At the back, there's also a large-screen Xingyi Tablet 2 for passengers in the back seat to use for entertainment. You can hold it in your hand or attach it to the back of the seat for a great viewing experience!"

"As for the network, our Xingyi intelligent cockpit integrates an IoT card, and the basic data traffic for the vehicle system is free for life. Whether it's system OTA upgrades, navigation map updates, navigation data, SOS emergency calls, etc., it's all free for life!"

"And we'll also give you three years of unlimited entertainment data."

"For the first three years, whether it was listening to music online, watching videos, playing games, or other applications, all data was free."

Another round of applause erupted from the audience.

Wang Yi changed the subject: "Many users are worried about what will happen in three years? Will entertainment data be super expensive and unaffordable?"

Everyone nodded in agreement; this was a big problem.

Wang Yi continued, "Right now, 4G is just starting to be rolled out, and data is very expensive, extremely expensive. A 1GB mobile data plan costs 40-70 yuan. Car data plans are even more expensive, costing 60-100 yuan!"

"If 5G costs three to five hundred yuan a month, that's too expensive. Once the contract expires, I really can't afford to use it anymore!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Three to five hundred a month was unrealistic, simply unrealistic.

4G data is too expensive.

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Xingyi Technology is a responsible large company. We won't let everyone be unable to afford entertainment data."

"I believe that in three years, when the free entertainment data expires, the price of 4G data will also drop significantly."

"Therefore, I guarantee here that in three years, the entertainment data charges for Xingyi cars will be very low, and there will be a variety of options."

"Compared to our competitors' 5GB entertainment data plan which costs several hundred yuan per month, our Xingyi Auto S5's 5GB entertainment data plan only costs 30 yuan per month!"

"A 10GB data plan for only 60 yuan per month!"

"That's right, it's that cheap!"

"If 4G data plans don't drop to this price by then, Xingyi Technology will cover the entire difference!"

"We guarantee that users will still have uninterrupted entertainment even after the three-year term expires!"

"For every experience, the Xingyi S5 provides the best!"

Applause resounded throughout the venue once again; everyone was thrilled.

"As expected of Chairman Wang, he's truly responsible."

"5G a month is enough. If it costs 300 yuan a month, I really can't afford it. Chairman Wang guarantees 30 yuan a month, so there's no pressure!"

"Xingyi Technology will cover all the price differences. That's what a responsible large company should do!"

"Yes, other companies are definitely thinking about making more money, but Xingyi Auto not only doesn't make more money, it also maintains a low price and makes up the difference. It's truly a big company."

"For this reason alone, I must support a Xingyi car!"

"BMW, aren't you ashamed to charge 50 yuan for 500 meters?" "Damn, that's expensive? I'm glad I don't buy a BMW."

"5G for 30 yuan, which is equivalent to 6 yuan per GB. That's much cheaper than mobile phone bills. No wonder it's Chairman Wang's price!"

Wang Yi knew very well that three years later, 4G tariffs would plummet.

现在1G 4G流量40-70元，三年后1G 4G流量，差不多也就6-10元。

No problem!

Even if they can't make it that cheap, Xingyi Technology won't have to make up for much of the difference.

At worst, we can buy at cost and sell at cost.

Data charges will come down sooner or later.

Wang Yi continued to explain the other configurations:
"In addition, our seats are made of genuine leather and come standard with seat heating and ventilation. They are very comfortable to sit in, just like a luxury sofa, and they won't make your back hurt like the seats of our competitors."

"The steering wheel also comes standard with a heating function."

"And all models come standard with a mini-fridge, which can be used to store drinks!"

"We'll deliver the refrigerator that costs 30,000 yuan as an option from BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi), and provide it all directly!"

"Let all Xingyi S5 owners and friends enjoy refreshing iced drinks on hot summer days!"

……

Thunderous applause erupted once again.

Although refrigerators, sofas, and large color TVs are seen as mockery of new energy vehicles by gasoline cars, these features are truly appealing and represent the ultimate solution for gasoline cars!
Most importantly, refrigerators, color TVs, and large sofas didn't initially start with new energy sources; they started with gasoline-powered cars!

It just requires an extra fee!
BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) has had refrigerators for a long time, but why do we rarely see them?
Because refrigerators from BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) require an extra fee of 3 to 4 yuan to upgrade the features!
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz S400L with optional refrigerator and rear entertainment system costs 5.2 yuan, while a refrigerator alone costs 3 yuan!

The Audi A8L's refrigerator is even more outrageous; it cannot be selected as an optional extra and can only be obtained by paying an additional 80,000 yuan for the premium package!
Features like seat ventilation are also included, but those cost extra!
There's also the large screen, which was introduced on gasoline-powered cars, and you have to pay extra to upgrade it.

As early as 2001, the BMW 7 Series had a 10.2-inch LCD screen!
This was more than a decade earlier than Tesla's large-screen TVs.

The 2007 Lexus LS460 even featured a 12.3-inch touchscreen!
Five years later, Tesla's Model S finally went up to a 17-inch screen!
To put it bluntly, refrigerators, sofas, and large color TVs all started with gasoline cars; it's just that you need to pay extra for additional features.

It's just that new energy vehicle companies are quite generous, giving them away for free, which makes people think that refrigerators, TVs, and large sofas are just gimmicks for new energy vehicles!

Years later, gasoline cars were hit hard by new energy vehicles, their sales plummeted, and their competitiveness weakened. Only then did they have to start following suit and begin to include refrigerators, sofas, and large-screen TVs as standard equipment.

There's no way around it, these things are just so comfortable to use.

Before the advent of new energy sources, some users accepted that a refrigerator from BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) would cost an extra 30,000 yuan.

But with new energy vehicles, the entire lineup is given away for free, so the BBA's strategy of adding extra money won't work anymore.

After all, nobody's money comes from thin air, so BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) can only follow suit by giving it away, or selling it at half price!
The live chat was buzzing:
"As expected, Chairman Wang is truly generous. A Mercedes refrigerator and entertainment system would cost over 50,000, an Audi would cost 80,000, but he's giving away a Xingyi S5 for free! He's even throwing in a Xingyi tablet!"

"It's so generous; in this respect, BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) falls short."

"BBA treats users like韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting consumers), charging exorbitant prices for everything. Chairman Wang treats users like gods, giving everything away for free. He even guarantees super low prices for entertainment data; if it's too expensive, Xingyi Technology will cover the difference. What a conscience in the industry!"

"Look at Xingyi Auto, don't the BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) feel ashamed?"

"I was planning to buy an Audi A8, but now I'm not. I don't want to spend 80,000 yuan on a refrigerator!"

"The emergence of Xingyi Auto S5 made the public realize how fast the BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) can cut off their dominance."

"I may have money, but I'm not a sucker. BBA is going too far. I'm not buying it. Xingyi Auto S5 is more reliable!"

"That's right, boycott BBA's exploitative practices and support Xingyi Auto S5!"

Seeing these comments, BBA's boss's lips twitched, but he didn't seem to care much.

These days, BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) is still unbeatable.

As for new energy vehicles like the Xingyi Auto S5, they won't amount to much!
Even the chairman of BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) doesn't take him seriously.

Even many executives from BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the launch event of the Xingyi Auto!
Wang Yi continued, "The Xingyi Auto S5 has many other excellent features and powerful functions, which I won't go into here. You can experience them for yourselves."

"Next, the important part!"

"As a new energy vehicle, everyone is worried about insufficient range. Once the power runs out, it will immediately break down and leave us stranded on the road!"

Everyone nodded in agreement; this was the biggest pain point for new energy.

"But this is not a problem for the Xingyi Auto S5."

Wang Yi said with a smile, "The main model we promote for Xingyi Auto S5 is the range-extended version!"

"Not only does it have batteries, but it also ensures sufficiently low toll costs, one-tenth that of gasoline vehicles."

"It also has a range extender and a fuel tank. Even if the power runs out halfway, it can generate electricity through the range extender to continue driving."

"Furthermore, the combination of battery and gasoline allows our Xingyi S5 range-extended version to achieve a total range of up to 1400 kilometers, far exceeding the range of gasoline vehicles, ensuring worry-free range!"

The crowd was excited:
"Holy crap! 1400 kilometers, that's incredible, even a gas car can't go that far."

"If there's electricity, you can use it; if there's no electricity, you can use gasoline. You don't have to worry about range anxiety at all."

"That's right, the Xingyi Auto S5 range extender is definitely the best choice. For daily commutes, the battery is sufficient, and the toll costs are extremely low. For occasional long trips, with half a tank of gas, it can still travel several hundred kilometers, so I don't even know what range anxiety is."

"This is the right way to approach new energy; Tesla's pure electric vehicles simply won't work."

Wang Yi continued, "As a smart car, the Xingyi Auto S5 also has many ways to be turned on."

"Not only does the driver's side come standard with keyless entry, but it also supports one-click unlocking via mobile app, remote unlocking, and NFC unlocking."

"Moreover, our app is very powerful. It not only supports one-click unlocking and remote unlocking, but also remote control!"

"At home, you can use the app to turn on the air conditioning in advance, so that in the summer you can start the air conditioning in your Xingyi S5 to cool it down and ventilate the seats. Or in the winter you can turn on the air conditioning to heat up the seats, so that when we enter the car, it is always at the most comfortable temperature."

Applause erupted again.

"It also supports queries for battery level, fuel level, range, trip distance, power consumption, and fuel consumption."

"Most importantly, it also supports scheduled charging!"

“In many places, peak and off-peak electricity prices are different. After 10 p.m., charging during off-peak hours costs only a little over 30 cents. Many places also offer other subsidies for home charging of new energy vehicles, and during off-peak hours, the cost can be even lower, just over 20 cents.”

"But we can't stay up until 10 p.m. every time to recharge."

"To address this, Xingyi Auto S5 developed a scheduled charging function."

"After parking, plug in the charging gun, and you're good to go. Set up scheduled charging on the app, and it will automatically start charging during off-peak hours. Once fully charged, it will automatically shut off the power, ensuring the lowest possible electricity cost!"

"Our Xingyi S5 comes with a free home charging station, which can be claimed within one year of purchase."

"And it's not a competitor's low-power 3kW charging pile, but the highest power 7kW currently available for home charging piles!"

Ten years from now, most home charging stations will be equipped with 7kW 220V single-phase power, which will be sufficient to meet daily needs.

If 21kW is needed, then a 380V three-phase electricity meter needs to be applied for, and the charging pile needs to be upgraded, which is costly and difficult.

In 2015, the Xingyi car was already capped at 7kW as standard equipment!

"Even the 40kW premium version can be fully charged in five hours!"

Wang Yi continued:

"The Xingyi S5 extended-range sedan comes in three versions: Enjoy Edition, Premium Edition, and Smart Edition!"

"The Enjoy Edition features a rear-drive permanent magnet motor with 370 horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. It is equipped with a 30 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a 56L fuel tank. The pure electric range is 220 km, and the total range is 1400 km."

"Fuel consumption is also very low when the battery is depleted. Under NEDC conditions, the fuel consumption is only 3.5L per 100 kilometers, which is much lower than that of a gasoline car!"

"In terms of driver assistance, the Enjoy Edition is equipped with a 2K resolution high-sensitivity camera, four 2K resolution surround-view cameras, and three millimeter-wave radars and eight ultrasonic radars."
