Horizontal screen can also experience MG HS Zebra Zhixing 3.0.

Hardware introduction/upgrade of human-computer interaction system In September last year, Zebra (view transaction price | vehicle details) was released at the Alibaba Cloud conference, and now it is about to land. The Zebra Zhixing 3.0 system, code-named "Mars", has been prepared for a whole year. Since the vertical screen version system has been pushed for nearly a month, after a series of bugs have been collected and fixed, the horizontal screen version system with more perfect functions will gradually push OTA to more than 65438+ 10,000 users' Internet models from June 8, 2008. So what are the highlights of this horizontal version of Zebra Zhixing 3.0? What's the difference between it and vertical screen system? SAIC's engineering team decided to find a "beta version" of MG HS equipped with a new system for us to experience.

PS: The Zebra Zhixing 3.0 system in this paper is a beta version based on Alibaba AliOS system, and its function may be slightly different from the production version. In the future, Zebra Zhixing will also launch a simplified version based on Linux system to meet the needs of different models.

■ Advanced hardware standards

Whether it is a popular vertical screen or a horizontal screen that is more in line with the layout of the traditional center console, SAIC is sparing no effort to build Internet car hardware. Take the MG HS model we have experienced as an example. The performance of 12.3 inch full LCD instrument panel is obvious to all. Although the horizontal 10. 1 inch IPS touch screen looks small, in fact, its size is only 0.3 inch different from the vertical screen, and the resolution is 1280×720. Full-fit technology is adopted to reduce reflectivity and ensure readability under any optical fiber. According to official data, the viewing angle of this screen is 170, which can completely ensure the clear reading of the front drivers and passengers.

Behind the screen is a miniaturized on-board computer host. Its core brain is the dual-core CPU of Texas Instruments J6-ARM A 15 architecture, and the graphics processor is the dual-core GPU provided by PowerVR. The whole system has 2GB of memory and 32GB of memory. If this hardware specification is evaluated horizontally in the same price model, it can be considered as a very good configuration.

■ Upgrade of human-computer interaction system

As the specialty of zebra intelligent travel system, voice control has several important changes in version 3.0. The first thing to bear the brunt is the addition of "AI Meng Chong", a little guy with rich expressions, which makes our daily communication with the train no longer cold, but more humane. "Sound source localization" is a new function of Zebra Zhixing version 2.0 upgrade, which can clearly distinguish the password issued by the driving seat and only feed it back to the driving side, such as adjusting the one-sided air conditioner, turning on the one-sided seat heating, or closing the one-sided window. And Yimeng Chong's eyes can also tell which side of the command it hears.

The AI artificial intelligence speech recognition engine is jointly developed by Nuance, the number one speech recognition company in the world ET * * *(Alibaba Cloud ET * * *. After three generations of product upgrade iterations, natural semantic recognition has been greatly improved. From 1.0 version of fixed-format voice vehicle control, to version 2.0 of relatively simple situational voice, such as "It's raining" or "I want to see the stars", and now to version 3.0, you can interact with more complex pure natural language, such as telling the vehicle that "the car stinks", "I have no money" and "I want to eat spicy food". Off-topic, version 3.0 finally supports English recognition, and there is no obstacle to searching English songs.

In addition to voice interaction, a more friendly system UI interface is also one of the upgrades of Zebra Zhixing 3.0. In the previous version, there was no other way to return to the main interface except the HOME physical button. On the contrary, a series of function keys have been added to the left side of the new system, including the HOME icon. In the past, the drop-down message reminder also appeared as a separate SMS icon in the left area. Now, after pulling down from the screen, you will be surprised to see a super practical control center page with a large number of commonly used shortcut buttons. After exchanging product ideas with engineers, the other party also said that this is the experience logic of the current mobile phone system for reference, and the owner does not need any learning cost when using it, because the same is true for mobile phones.

Finally, the initial interface changes. In Zebra Zhixing 3.0 system, the functional interface will no longer be presented to users as the default interface, but will be replaced by a more commonly used map interface. If there is no operation for a period of time, the interface will automatically return to the map page. In addition, the switch between the map and common functions can still be switched by the HOME button, which is exactly the same as the previous version.

Core function upgrade/music software replacement

■ Comprehensive upgrade of core functions

1/ gaode map-a deeply customized version based on the artificial intelligence engine of the new gaode nebula

In Zebra Zhixing's 1.0 and 2.0 versions, although the customized map of Gaode was also used, it was well received by a large number of users, but there were also some voices of dissatisfaction with car positioning and route planning. Therefore, after the introduction of Zebra Zhixing 3.0, map upgrade is the most important change of core functions. According to official information, the new version of Gaode Map adopts the latest version of Gaode full platform engine, which can realize the complete interconnection between mobile phones and vehicles. Its positioning accuracy reaches 98%, the elevated road recognition rate reaches 99%, and the line matching accuracy is also improved by 15% compared with the old version.

From the actual car experience, the most intuitive change of the new high-tech map is the redesigned map interface. Compared with the previous version, the color is more gorgeous and the interface is closer to the mobile version. Combined with the use of large-size screen, the visual effect is obviously improved. At the same time, the new version also adds 3D view and real-time weather display. Swiping up and down with two fingers can seamlessly switch between 2D and 3D interfaces, similar to the method of adjusting the viewing angle on the mobile phone version of Gaode map.

In terms of new functions, "multi-route dynamic planning" can provide up to three route planning, including rich information such as time, distance and number of traffic lights. , so that users can choose the route more freely. "Hawkeye Thumbnail" gives users a more intuitive travel judgment, and can also switch between traditional columnar roads according to their own preferences.

"Restricted planning" is very practical for foreign brand vehicles entering restricted cities. It can actively avoid restricted roads and realize the function of avoiding sudden road conditions in real time. At present, the function of "3D Live Feature" has covered first-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. In some complicated road conditions, the navigation interface will display details such as elevated roads and intersections similar to 3D real-life maps like mobile phone maps to help drivers correctly judge the driving direction.

"AI Commuting Mode" can intelligently predict commuting scenarios. For office workers who commute frequently, the new version of Gaode Map will analyze the user-driven high-frequency routes, dates and time rules, and then form memories through data learning. After that, as long as the travel time is close, users do not need to set up navigation. Zebra Zhixing 3.0 system will actively provide the best real-time commuting route for car owners, which is very user-friendly.

The interconnection between vehicles and computers also has new functions. Zebra Zhixing 3.0 vehicles can directly send the destination of the mobile phone to the car navigation after being connected by the mobile phone. However, considering that the usability of the new car map has been greatly improved, personally, it seems meaningless to connect the mobile phone to send the destination.

The improvement of "team" function is more meaningful. In version 2.0, the system only supports the combination of model and Zebra systems, and the application scenarios are not extensive. In version 3.0, we can finally share team information with non-zebra system owners through WeChat applet. However, at present, WeChat applet can only * * enjoy real-time positioning, set * * the same destination, and send location information remotely, which cannot realize real-time dialogue between zebra owners. But in any case, we see that the zebra team has taken the first step in cross-platform team building, and I believe this function will continue to evolve in the future.

2/ Music software replacement/automatic faster short video access

In Zebra System 3.0, the music software changed for the first time. Xiami Music, which was widely criticized by users because of the small amount of copyright, disappeared and was replaced by cool music with richer copyright. The new music program can be seamlessly connected with the cool app account on the mobile phone. In other words, if you have a VIP account of the mobile app, all paid songs can be listened to simultaneously in the car. Considering that many songs may have been cached in the favorites of shrimp users before, after upgrading to Zebra Zhixing 3.0, the new music program will help car owners keep their previously collected songs as much as possible. Why do you say "as much as possible"? I'm sure you also thought of it, but you still need copyright.

Aauto's faster short video first appeared in the zebra zhixing system. Nowadays, short videos on the Internet are very popular, so it is very popular to join short video applets such as Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok. From a practical point of view, the short video function of Aauto Quicker, which was first added, is actually quite good. Very close to the operating experience of the mobile app, you can also synchronize your account with the mobile app. Short videos can also be divided into seven categories, which is convenient for users with different preferences to filter. However, there are also areas that can be optimized. For example, when playing the short video of Aauto faster in landscape system, there are still some black areas on both sides. It can be thought of as a component screen. Move the main video to the left and make a separate video list in the right area.

Karaoke function has been reflected in the earlier Zebra Zhixing 3.0 experience version system, and this function will eventually appear in the official Zebra Zhixing 3.0 system. Users only need to buy a bird fan microphone and connect it wirelessly with the vehicle-mounted machine, so they can achieve the effect of karaoke in the car. For car owners who don't buy a microphone, karaoke software also provides audition function based on the microphone in the car, but the effect will be discounted.

Improve existing services/fully access Ali Ecology

3/ Improve the existing smart ecological services.

Zebra Zhixing is the creator of the car Internet system and the forerunner of the service ecology, so it is also an important task for Zebra Zhixing 3.0 system to integrate the existing smart ecological services. From the perspective of vehicle functions, intelligent parking and intelligent refueling are not significantly different from the old system in function, but the objective application scenarios are obviously upgraded. For example, compared with many years ago, the number of ETCP parking lots has increased several times. Some Shell, PetroChina and private gas stations have also begun to cooperate with Zebra to promote intelligent refueling services, and the number has gradually increased.

From the practical experience, at present, zebra car recognition of ETCP parking lot is quite mature, which can basically realize accurate recognition and fast deduction, save the process of cash or code scanning payment, and effectively improve the efficiency of entering and leaving the parking lot. In addition, unlike the current mobile phone ETCP software, because of the existence of electronic fence, vehicles equipped with zebra system need hardware and license plate matching when entering and leaving the ETCP parking lot, so there is no possibility of being stolen by deck.

In the new version of the system, the smart refueling service also has a dual mechanism of manual search/automatic identification of gas stations, which avoids the occasional failure to identify gas stations. The whole refueling process was very smooth. Just tell the staff of the gas station to use smart payment and enter the number of the oil gun at the rear of the car after refueling, so you can query the amount and price of refueling in real time and complete the payment quickly, which is very convenient.

■ Fully settled in Ali Ecology: order coffee/check express delivery/buy air tickets/book hotels.

There are some new features. Although it is not a core function and the system has no specific entrance, it does bring convenience to the owner. These all depend on the platform advantages of Alibaba AliOS, which enables Zebra Zhixing 3.0 to fully open access to the Ali ecological chain.

For example, we can activate the take-away Starbucks service through voice commands. The service provider is hungry, not Starbucks. By simplifying the category menu and synchronizing confidential payment, the owner can easily book Starbucks by car and send it to the preset public address. The delivery time of the order will also be intelligently optimized. If the system finds that the receiving address is far away from the place where the owner placed the order, it will appropriately delay the delivery time of the order to ensure that the vehicle can receive the coffee almost when it arrives at the destination.

Then, by booking Starbucks services, it is not difficult for people to generate more associations. Since it is a service provided by "Hungry", today is Starbucks. Will there suddenly be more take-away categories tomorrow? This is really not a technical problem. Similarly, Zebra Zhixing version 3.0 also integrates Taobao movie ticket purchase platform, rookie package inspection express function, scenic spot ticket purchase, hotel reservation and other functions. With Alibaba's ecological chain and Alipay payment platform, everything seems to have a reasonable solution.

Edit summary:

As an industry leader, compared with the old version, the new Zebra Zhixing 3.0 system has comprehensively upgraded its core functions, including interactive interface, high-tech map and music software. , and added some new features that young people like, such as Aauto's faster short video, karaoke and so on. On the basis of consolidating the original ecological services such as smart parking, it has a deeper connection with the Ali ecological chain. Therefore, we can see the new functions provided by "Hungry", such as Starbucks take-away service, convenient movie tickets, scenic spot ticket purchase, hotel reservation, etc., and truly appreciate the convenience brought by "Internet car" to life.

In particular, although the functions of the new system are much richer than before, we can still see the possibility of expansion in many details, such as "Hungry? The platform function has not been fully released, the "Flying Pig" tourism platform has not been fully enabled, and the "Rookie Wrapping" has just been able to provide queries, which provide unlimited imagination for the future version of Zebra Zhixing. As an important part of Alibaba Group's travel field, the birth of Zebra Zhixing 3.0 Air attracts people's attention, but what is the potential of this first Internet car in China? I believe many people are as eager as I am. @20 19
