X headline ‖ You need more sweet positive energy when you return to work.

This week, it is expected that quite a few comrades will continue to carry out the plan of "staying at home for the country", but people can wander around at home at will, just like last weekend's Valentine's Day, when gifts were delivered without contact, and everyone can also play in the clouds. Speaking of Valentine's Day, I have to mention this year's Lamborghini love? Attraction? Love "-the best social media short video of Valentine's Day in 2020 in Bian Xiao's heart;

Gentle touch, spoiled eyes, romantic waltz ... true love is beyond doubt. Next, let's continue to talk about the romance that happened in the tourism technology circle last week:

Modern? ? "love"

65438+1October 16 Just as the eyes of the whole world were focused on Britain's withdrawal from the EU, Arrival, a British electric car company, announced that it had obtained an investment of 6,543.8 billion euros from Hyundai Motor. This investment will enable Hyundai and Kia to apply the modular "skateboard" and platform technology of Arrival electric truck to their own "new electric vehicle (PBV) across multiple categories".

At present, although the public powertrain of Arrival van has no details and relevant data, according to Arrival, the electric van that will be tested at the end of this year and mass-produced in 20021year will be "a brand-new product category that exceeds the existing electric vehicles in terms of cost, design and efficiency".

Although it may not be seen for a while, with the help of Arrival, on February 1 1, Hyundai announced that it would start a new "relationship" with Canoo, a Los Angeles technology company, to jointly develop Canoo's electric vehicle platform for Hyundai and Kia to meet customers' demand for cost-competitive electric vehicles, from small electric vehicles to special purpose vehicles (PBV).

As part of the cooperation, Canoo will provide technical services to help develop a fully extensible all-electric platform to meet the different product specifications of Hyundai and Kia. Hyundai Motor Group hopes that the platform will help realize its commitment to provide cost-competitive electric vehicles, from small electric vehicles to special purpose vehicles (PBV), to meet the diverse needs of customers:

The two companies will jointly develop an all-electric platform based on Canoo's fully extensible proprietary design for Hyundai and Kia EV and PBV to be listed soon; ;

Hyundai Motor Group expects that the new platform with Canoo "skateboard" architecture can simplify and standardize the development process, thus effectively reducing manufacturing costs and sales prices.

Before the MEB platform developed by Volkswagen Group and after the strong layout of Ford's investment in Rivian, it is not difficult to understand that Hyundai Group frequently made moves. Self-research is too slow, so buying from buy buy is a way of rapid evolution, and Hyundai Group announced that it will invest 87 billion US dollars in five years to promote future growth, which has obviously begun to show its power. It's just that the two "lovers" chosen by Hyundai are quite "immature" start-up technology enterprises, and there is no transcript that can fully explain their strength for the time being. So what will happen next time depends on the next decomposition.

Ford? ? "spoil"

On the road to electrification, both new forces and traditional strong teams have their own hidden worries. For example, the dealer maintenance team under the traditional brand is all from the training standards and assessment system of the fuel age. Therefore, how to quickly transform the team of engineers and technicians in the fuel age into compound talents who can adapt to electricity and fuel has become a difficult problem for traditional strong teams.

Ford put forward a novel idea to solve this problem. Last week, Ford announced that it would begin to use the virtual reality VR training tool developed in cooperation with Bosch to train the technicians of its dealers in all-electric products.

As Dave Johnson, director of Ford's service engineering operations, said, "Technicians can learn and operate by being immersed in the simulated game world, which means they won't have to rely on the actual mustang? Mach-E vehicles understand its components, including the new high-voltage system of electric SUV. This new virtual reality training tool enables technicians to understand the components and steps needed to repair these high-voltage systems, and then diagnose and maintain them with confidence. "

This means that by the end of this year, Ford has launched pure electric SUVs all over the world? Wild horse? Before Mach-E, various distribution agencies allowed technicians to put on VR glasses without waiting for the real car to arrive at the store, carry out relevant diagnosis, maintenance and repair through the virtual reality training system, unlock the module package like a customs clearance game, and complete the assessment task.

However, don't worry, the technicians who help you with after-sales maintenance have only received "game" training. According to Dave Johnson's explanation: "In addition to the technicians trained by VR, we will also equip every 4S shop with an electric vehicle expert."

Although wild horses? Mach-E and electric F 150 will not appear in China for a short time. I don't know what kind of technical training will be conducted after entering China. Ford uses the VR system commonly used by other manufacturers in the design or factory to help dealers quickly train technicians, which is also a sincere, novel and interesting "spoil" for their dealers.

Nissan? ? "tenderness"

Although Nissan's life has not been easy recently, not only the former CEO who staged a shocking prison break was punished in front of the global media, but also the decline in performance was constantly questioned by the market. But even so, it doesn't seem to affect Nissan's mood. Last week, it released a Qvanxian Zhang album Dream? Drive.

Is this because of Elon? The influence of Musk? It was named Emo at 65438+1October 3 1. g？ The record published Electronic Dance Music? No? Doubt? ur？ Vibe has played more than 365,438+million times in just 65,438+06 days, especially on February 5, when it reached the eighth place in the charts. To this end, Elon also gave a good tweet:

Although when BianXiao looked up again, "? Do what? Won't it? Doubt? ur？ Is Vibe at the top of Soundcloud's overall list or electronic dance music and electronic music sub-list? There is no trace of 50, but as a "pure newcomer", Elon? Musk's cross-border performance is obviously good (at least with his last EDM single RIP? Compared with Harambe, progress is like his space exploration technology company? As great as rocket launch).

Just with Elon? Musk's singles are different, but Nissan released the whole album at one time. In this regard, Nissan said: parents know that driving is a good way to put their children to sleep, but this method will emit carbon dioxide and aggravate climate change? . And for parents of electric cars like Leaf, there is no white noise generated by traditional gasoline-powered cars, so Nissan engineers invited DJ, sound designer and sleep coach to create five lullabies of three minutes each in this album, Dream? Drive ":

Due to copyright reasons, several songs cannot be posted, but Nissan's dream? Drive and Elon? Musk's "? No? Doubt? ur？ Vibe can be found in apples? Music and Google? Play found it. Friendly reminder, it is recommended not to try while driving. The gentle sleep effect of each lullaby is quite strong.
