The "end" of wisdom-driven CES intelligence is humanity Audi AI:ME to build a "car"

I said in my previous article that I would talk to you in detail about Audi AI:ME. Today I'm here to fill the hole.

actually, looking around this year's CES, it is not difficult to find that there are many concept cars that are unconstrained, but they have really come up with self-driving models with realistic and feasible solutions-Audi AI:ME is the only one in the audience.

it's quite an incredible thing; Mercedes-Benz Vision? AVTR concept car is like a "beast" running from Pandora, while Hyundai and Uber's "air taxi" vividly describe the scene in blade runner.

we all know that these products don't belong to our time, but looking at Audi AI:ME, who can say that it won't be mass-produced in five years?

If you don't understand what I'm talking about, you can imagine a scene: A scientist says that the earth will be hit by an asteroid the size of the moon in 1 years, and human beings will become extinct. You must disagree, but you will find it a bit ridiculous. But when you go out and look up, do you feel a little scared when you find a small meteorite with a diameter of 1 meters coming at you?

I admit that this example is not necessarily appropriate. I just want to express that the rapid development and appearance of automobile technology has made me an elderly person a little at a loss. That's why I asked the question in the title of the article when I learned that Audi AI:ME was ready to test drive on a specific road.

is Audi AI:ME the most technologically advanced car in the world?

in a sense, yes. Audi AI:ME is not only advanced in technology, but also advanced in concept. Audi officially defines AI:ME as an independent personal lounge. In other words, it's like your other bedroom.

all this is based on the L4-level automatic driving function that AI:ME has realized. Without the steering wheel, throttle and brakes, I'm afraid the only thing that binds you is the fabric seat under your ass.

I want to clarify one thing here first. In the previous article, I thought that Audi AI:ME had no driving mechanism, so I came to the conclusion that there was no steering wheel. I'm really sorry, Audi AI:ME has a steering wheel, but most of the time it will be hidden under the center console.

The reasons that can be hidden can be thought of by everyone. When the vehicle is driving automatically, the driver can have more room to move. The retraction of the steering wheel has also increased the area of the small table on the center console, making it more convenient to put a computer for office or an ipad for drama.

With the blessing of autonomous driving, you can even experience the refreshing feeling of crossing the surface of Mars through the built-in VR system. This is completely different from the VR device you experienced at the gate of the cinema. The vestibule of the brain will really feel the change of speed, thus greatly reducing the discomfort and dizziness.

If you are a little resistant to the fact that you can't see the road in the car, this "central control screen" with a height of 15cm and a width of 122cm can meet your other needs. Thanks to the characteristics of OLED material, this screen can not only be made very thin, but also can use dark black as a shadow layer to make the screen appear transparent.

The logic of the steering wheel is the same. This screen will only be presented in the state of "still hiding half her face from us behind her guitar" in daily life, and the transparent screen will not obstruct the line of sight. If you want to watch a movie, turn on the cinema mode and the screen will slowly rise.

The emergence of p>3D mixed reality HUD is not unexpected, after all, Bosch has also announced similar technologies. But as I said before, it is a difficult problem how to ensure that the driver will not feel dizzy with this technology. In fact, AR technology has already matured today, and Audi can completely present the effect of HUD in a different way.

actually, I'm not sorting out the product points, but I want to tell you by listing these technologies: have you found that none of the above technologies are used in production models at present?

These are all the manifestations of Audi AI:ME as "probably the most technologically advanced car at present", and it is very close to the state of mass production. Exaggerated, many configurations, functions and usage scenes of Audi AI:ME used to exist only in imagination. When it is placed in front of us with a very high degree of completion, the shock of "the meteorite hitting the earth" will come.

of course, this is not everything. Audi AI:ME pieced together the hardware in order to flexibly use smarter software. The self-learning and intelligent interaction of this software is the core of Audi AI:ME.

what is the "end" of intelligence?

With the endorsement of major technology manufacturers and sci-fi movies, I insist that the end of intelligence is "humanity".

we might as well take apart the name of Audi AI:ME. AI stands for artificial intelligence and ME stands for users. The above configurations and technologies can be summarized as ME, and the foundation that supports everything is AI.

this is not only Audi, but any "people-oriented" AI artificial intelligence is a battleground for major OEMs.

the artificial intelligence of Audi AI:ME is mainly embodied in the new MMI system, and the car navigation system has the ability of "self-learning". It can save the preferred destination, consider the date, time and current traffic conditions as a whole, and plan the suggested route. By learning the habits of users, the usability of the system is improved.

Not surprisingly, in the future, Audi will develop more accurate user preference settings based on more dimensional information, such as seat position, car entertainment, route navigation, suitable temperature and fragrance preference in the car. In the future, perhaps it can also observe the user's driving style and make adjustments to try to figure out the driver's "driving mentality" at this time.

In addition, the "Lighting Factory" still demonstrated their innovation in lighting. This innovation is precisely based on artificial intelligence.

the name of this lighting technology is Human-Centric? Lighting (people-oriented lighting technology). It shows how to use lighting to influence the driver's subjective feeling. For example, when you feel tired, you can turn on the awake mode and light up the exciting blue light and the cool white light. If the study sample is sufficient, I think it can even judge when you are sleepy and when you are distracted.

when artificial intelligence really thinks like a human being, it is both a fearful thing and a gentle thing.

I'm sure everyone has seen a lot of movies in which artificial intelligence develops too fast and eventually destroys mankind. This reflects human concerns about artificial intelligence, and also expresses the uncertainty caused by the superposition of various factors.

But if artificial intelligence really develops to the degree of simulating "human nature" in the future, I would rather believe that "beginning of life is good in nature".

can Audi AI:ME really be a "car"?

With autonomous driving, artificial intelligence and everything we want, is Audi AI:ME really a "car"? My personal understanding: still. However, its dimension is not limited to commuting tools, but more diversified travel space. What nature can do is not limited to driving and moving.

Maybe people have different understandings of "car", but the definition of means of transportation remains the same. From point A to point B, this is the meaning of every means of transportation. I believe that the original attributes of cars, like trains, subways, planes and ships, are all to meet the needs of human beings from point A to point B.

after many years of development, this attribute has been gradually weakened.

A top-notch technology product like Audi AI:ME only carries more things as a means of transportation. These things we can't do in the car now, such as eating, sleeping and watching movies.

autonomous driving and artificial intelligence provide us with a very comfortable feeling in our travel life, but it still needs to meet the needs of "from A to B". Suppose you got off the bus and found that the car didn't drive to the company, but stayed where it was, would you be angry?

so, all changes are the same. No matter how smart and comfortable Audi AI:ME is, when the four wheels of the vehicle start to run, it is already playing the role of "car".

It was written at the end

"A man never drinks, is never late, and dresses like a human being every day, so he must drive an Audi."

Indeed, the joke "Gorilla" is a bit "British humor", which pokes a lot of people's jokes. But if he also went to CES in 22, he should also change the label of Audi owners after seeing the Audi booth.

After all, Audi is no longer the "black official car" in the eyes of my uncle.
