Coquettish Rebirth

In addition to this combination with the driving computer, there are of course many entertainment uses. It can be said that if you put a big tablet on the center console, such a thing will become the entertainment system center of a family car.If you think about it casually, you can think of many uses that can play the center of this system.For example, after adapting through wireless wifi, you can transfer the purchased and downloaded music in the mobile phone and music pod to the car's central control entertainment platform. How about that?In such a year, even the latest BMW 740 and other luxury cars are quite inferior in terms of intelligence.Although they already have reversing sensors, even visual reversing sensors, even if they already have multimedia LCD screens facing the rear passengers, the whole car itself is still quite unintelligent.On the center console of a car, the LCD screen is very small, only the size of a palm, and the design of the center console is also very traditional, such as air-conditioning outlets, radios, and multimedia DVD drives are placed on the driver's right hand side. , it can be said that the position left for the LCD screen is quite small.And the multimedia LCD screen facing the rear passengers is nothing more than a small LCD screen sandwiched between the two front seats for the rear passengers to see!It can be said that it actually looks quite uncomfortable and inconvenient!

But what Jia Hongjian and the others designed can be completely different. We can completely design in a way that the car entertainment system evolved a few years later, can't we?For example, we can directly cancel the CD player, tape player and radio, these things are completely useless!It goes without saying that things like CD players and tape drives can be completely replaced by the large flat panel we put on the center console.Even in terms of sound quality, our big tablet doesn’t need to have a small speaker like a mobile phone or Huaxia Hi-Tech’s e-tablet, it can be connected to the high-end speaker built in the car through the interface!At this time, the sound quality may not be as good as a CD.But it can definitely satisfy the ears of most people. After all, who would die because of a little bit of poor sound quality?

Then it’s like listening to the radio or something, who said that a radio must be needed to listen to it?Listening to the radio on the Internet is already available in China—for example, some radio stations in Shanghai have begun to put their broadcast content on the Internet. As long as listeners go online and enter their website, they can listen to their broadcast live online. !This thing is not difficult to put it bluntly.It's just that the sound of the broadcast is digitally stored and then put on the Internet!And as long as our car can access the Internet, can't we listen to the radio online?Of course, because of the coverage problem of the 3G network signal on the US side, there must be no signal in the wilderness such as interstate highways. After all, the US side is different from China. If it's private, they won't go to the wilderness to get a base station!The input-output ratio of this thing is completely out of proportion, except for the "evil" communist countries.Who would cover all kinds of wilderness in such a way for the sake of the common people?

However, although the infrastructure for mobile Internet access in the United States is not as good as ours in China, it does not mean that if the infrastructure is not good, it will cause any trouble for our promotion-although it is true that this car does not drive when it is cross-state on the highway. There is a way to listen to the radio online, but whose radio is interstate?Radio is no longer a "mainstream" communication platform. A few decades ago, almost 100 years ago, it was suitable to establish a radio network covering the whole country, because everyone listened to radio at that time, and there was no such thing as TV.But today, this radio is just a supplement to other media such as television.For example, how many broadcasts in China span the country?Even if there is CNR, there is only one CNR.The broadcasts in other places are only for those places.Only for the local market!Similarly, in the United States, the radio sound is actually just a variety of local listening.So when driving across state lines, who is always listening to the radio?

"But although you don't have to listen to the radio, when the car is crossing states or in the wild. If there is no network signal, can't you watch videos online? Isn't this car also unable to access the Internet?" Jia Among the group of Tesla engineers in front of Hung-chien, someone asked this question suspiciously. "That's a good question!" Jia Hongjian smiled and explained, "Indeed, the network coverage in the United States is not good. It will indeed make our car users unable to access the Internet when they are in the wild. The last time Ye Jing and I went to Yellowstone National Park, your sister had no signal at all, no matter whether it was t-mobile or at&t, there was no signal at all, and we played there for two days... I went to Yousheng in California before In Meidi National Park, there was no signal at all for four days. But even so, it doesn’t mean that we can’t solve it, who said that the software applications we make need to be connected to the Internet all the way?”

That's right!Even for things like navigation, who said that you need to be connected to a 3G signal to use it?Navigation can rely on the GPS receiver to communicate with satellites, which has nothing to do with whether or not you go online.As for other entertainment, who said that the whole process must be connected to the Internet?For example, if you want to play music, you can transfer the music library of the mobile phone or the music pod to the car entertainment system in advance. Even if the old music pod does not have wifi transmission, it can be transmitted by data cable, or even by With media streaming, as long as you are not afraid of mobile phone power consumption, you can temporarily transmit the music stream to the car entertainment system through the mobile phone without prior transmission, and then play it through the entertainment system. This is actually a continuous radio transmission in the car It's just a matter of information!

And like watching TV and watching movies in the car, we Chinese can download it with Wi-Fi at home and watch it on the train or plane when we go out. Why can’t Americans?Before they go out, they can use their sphone to download it first, and then transfer it to the car!And really speaking of temporary business trips, you must go out alone. When you go out alone, where can you watch videos while driving?

After Jia Hongjian’s explanation, the engineers finally understood Jia Hongjian’s conception of such a smart car. Only now did they understand what the smart car meant—it sounds like making a car for a car. Central entertainment system only?It sounds like it is to equip the car with a big mobile phone, and you can surf the Internet all the way where there is a signal. If there is no signal, it will be the same as the entertainment system on the plane and you can only watch the stored things?Just when they were understanding this, they heard Jia Hongjian say again: "Of course, on the other hand, we must have some very unique and very special functions. For example, using the mobile phone as an anti-theft lock remote control How about the device? After adaptation and authorization, the mobile phone can become a remote control that automatically controls the car’s anti-theft lock according to the distance. Far, the car will automatically activate the anti-theft..."

Such a function has been enabled in some cars this year, but this function is still put in the remote control of the car, but this remote control does not need to be pressed.After getting out of the car, you don't need to press it. When you walk five or six meters away from the car, the automatic car will beep "bb", and the anti-theft lock will be locked.Although such a function already exists, no one has ever thought of integrating it into a mobile phone!Yes, it would be very troublesome if the mobile phone is lost, but wouldn’t it be troublesome if the remote control is lost? "We can even do more. For example, when the weather is cold in winter, it is best to warm up the car for a few minutes in the morning. Usually, people need to start the car and let the car idle to warm up, but now we can completely What is done is to allow the car owner to preheat the car automatically through the remote control of the mobile phone! At the same time, the car owner can also directly know the status of the car through the mobile phone, such as how much water is left in the water tank, how much oil is left, and what is the tire pressure... Of course it can Let car owners drive more safely!"

That's right, like some weird bedside lamps made by Xiaomi's later generations, besides tens of millions of colors, what's so novel?There really isn't much novelty about that thing, it's purely relying on the concept of the so-called Internet of Things to make some seemingly novel functions indiscriminately!In Jia Hongjian's view, the car is really suitable for the Internet of Things! "Of course, in case the mobile phone is stolen and the car cannot be started, or the thief takes the mobile phone and drives away directly, we can design some backup measures, such as setting the second mobile phone as a backup machine. When the first mobile phone When lost, you can use the second adapted mobile phone to prevent theft, let the car directly call the police through the built-in sim card, and keep telling the police the car's model, color, license plate number and route... Of course, there is the simplest The best way is to turn on the entertainment system before starting the car, and then let the user set a password, which must be entered to start the car, and the password does not need to use any numbers or letters, but can be made into some kind of automatic The graphics drawn by the fingers of the device... You can even get a bracelet, yes, a bracelet! When the distance between the mobile phone and the bracelet becomes farther, the bracelet will automatically make a sound to remind the owner of the mobile phone... Is it completely safe?"

When Jia Hongjian explained in this way, new ideas came out one after another, and immediately integrated many new products and practices that had appeared in history into the idea of ​​such a smart car, even a health bracelet. Things, he thinks they can be matched with cars!Such a wild idea of ​​his really stunned all the engineers! (To be continued..)
