On August 16th, CS75 PLUS, a new member of CS75, officially launched the global pre-sale as one of the "Hua Dan in charge" of Changan Automobile sales, and launched four models with the pre-sale price range of 127,900-157,900 yuan, officially joining the mainstream SUV market competition. The car is defined as a "tomorrow’s car" that can meet the future needs of users, and it is also equipped with the Wutong car-connected intelligent system.

According to reports, CS75PLUS is a heavyweight model that Changan Automobile has built for four years and has gathered nearly 2,000 experts and engineers around the world.

In addition to highly restoring the design concept of the "Yuyue" concept car, the car is full of future science and technology, and there are many bright spots in artificial intelligence.

The new car is equipped with 12 ultrasonic radars, 3 millimeter-wave radars and 5 cameras, which can realize L2-level automatic driving, free your feet to follow the car automatically and reduce driving fatigue. Its IACC adaptive cruise system includes one-way automatic assisted driving, traffic jam assistance, automatic cornering deceleration, intelligent speed limit assistance and lane keeping assistance.

With its intelligent avoidance function, when the vehicle overtakes a large vehicle such as a truck or a bus when the IACC function is turned on and the vehicle speed is greater than 65 km/h, it will shift to the side far away from the big car appropriately, and after overtaking safely, it will resume the centering driving in the lane.

Intelligent configurations such as parallel auxiliary system, ACC-SG stop-and-go adaptive cruise system, AEB-C/I automatic emergency brake with vehicle identification function, STT intelligent fuel-saving start-stop system, etc., will be overweight step by step according to the model.

Among them, as a 2.0T top model, the "flagship" is equipped with APA 5.0 remote control parking service system, IACC full-speed intelligent cruise system with curve automatic deceleration, AEB-P automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and vehicle identification, and other omni-directional high-order configurations. This is also equipped with the industry’s first remote control parking service system APA5.0, which can realize the automatic parking of people outside the car. Car owners can park remotely with one button through the mobile APP and the physical key, which can meet more than 95% of parking scenes, and can park automatically as long as the width of the parking space is greater than 71 cm. In addition, CS75PLUS is also equipped with a rare Bluetooth key at the same level, which can share the virtual key with others through the mobile phone, and the owner can share and recover it indefinitely.

The first domestic 5G self-driving open road scene operation base will be opened.

On July 26th, Changan Automobile, China Automotive Research Institute, China Datang Telecom, etc. built the first domestic 5G self-driving public service platform and the 5G self-driving open road scene demonstration operation base.

The base has typical road environments such as bends, interchanges and special-shaped intersections in Chongqing, which not only covers the whole scene of 5G self-driving open roads, but also is the first nationwide demonstration area of interconnected hybrid vehicles. It also has the first self-driving garage, full parking service and supports automatic charging.

As the first car company to settle in, Changan Automobile will provide a new generation of L4-class autonomous driving operation, which is restructured from Yidong EV. The operation length is 4.3km, and 9 stations are set up throughout the journey, so that users can experience the smart travel experience in the 5G era. Compared with the previous L4-class self-driving cars driving on closed roads, Chang ‘an Yidong EV self-driving vehicles adopted in the new base have greatly improved in terms of sensing range and accuracy, computing power of computing platform, and decision-making standard control performance.

The L4-class automatic driving of Changan Automobile can also realize remote automatic pickup and return of the car. In Robo Taxi mode (unmanned taxi), users can get on the bus anytime, anywhere, recognize the face on the bus and generate orders without feeling. After the user gets off the bus, the vehicle will continue to operate and take orders or automatically enter the waiting area. Similarly, in the private car mode, you can bind the vehicle through the mobile APP and then call for a car. After being sent to the destination, the vehicle will automatically find a parking space to park.

At the same time, you can also experience the anthropomorphic driving mode on the spot. In the process of driving, the automobile system can automatically and smoothly handle the working conditions such as following the car, changing lanes, turning, turning around, avoiding collisions, bypassing obstacles, crossing traffic lights, etc., and there is almost no difference with real people driving. When the vehicle passes the intersection of traffic lights, it can obtain the state information of traffic lights and automatically change speed to pass or stop and wait; When passing through the coverage area of roadside sensing equipment, the information of roadside sensors can be obtained, and the collision risk out of sight can be identified and collision avoidance can be realized.

In addition, the most worrying thing about electric vehicles is "no electricity"! However, vehicles here will automatically search for wireless charging parking spaces, plan their own routes to wireless charging parking spaces, and automatically enter the wireless charging mode after completing automatic parking.

During the 2019 Zhibo Fair, Xiantao International Big Data Valley will hold an autonomous driving experience event to provide a test drive experience to consumers around the world.

"Cluster" layout of scientific research institutions of car companies in Happy Valley.

It is no accident that it is a new car and a newly opened road operation base in just one month. Recently, in Chongqing, the pursuit of intelligent driving cars is no longer a "one-man show" of traditional car companies, let alone the enthusiasm of individual car companies. Startups, scientific research institutions, software companies, internet giants and even financial institutions have all invested in this "fierce battle". In particular, entering the key "match point" of the autopilot technology from the second half of 2019 to 2020, various capitals are "swarming".

On July 31st, the super city SUV· Scenery 580Pro was officially launched nationwide, and four models were launched, with the price ranging from 92,900 yuan to 120,900 yuan. If we say that two years ago, the phrase "Hello, Xiaofeng" started the super-intelligent strategy of Dongfeng Scenery, then the launch of Scenery 580Pro is a new starting point for its intelligent layout. The new car is equipped with a new generation of super-intelligent network connection system, which is equipped with the leading flying fish OS 2.0 AI driving system of the same class for the first time. Intelligent voice direct function, can realize what you see and say. Part-time wakeup-free technology, after one wake-up, you can use voice for multiple operations within 30s or 60s without waking up again.

In Jin Kang New Energy Liangjiang Intelligent Factory with a total investment of about 2.5 billion yuan, there are many scenes where the car body "flies" in the air and the parts "run" on the ground. The factory has thousands of robots with four processes, such as punching, welding, painting and general assembly, and its comprehensive automation rate is over 95%. Recently, it has been praised by People’s Daily and CCTV.

As the first operator of "China Smart Car Index" in China, China Automobile Research Institute has completed the test of ADAS functions (ACC, AEB, LDW, BSD, APS) of 30 smart cars since June 2018, and released the results in four times.

In order to make more people know and apply smart cars, during this year’s Zhibo Fair, the AEB and APS competitions in the 2019 i-VISTA "China Telecom 5G Cup" self-driving car challenge will be open to ordinary consumers of all automobile brands at home and abroad. Less than a week after the news was sent out, the organizing committee received 60 applications for registration, and the owners of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Tesla, Changan, Geely … these brands competed to bring their cars to compete for their IQ.

At the same time, technology companies frequently join hands with car companies. Last year, Tencent, Huawei, Iflytek, Big Dipper, Chihiro Location … Changan Automobile joined hands with several industry giants to launch the Beidou Tian Shu Alliance. In April this year, at the opening ceremony of Changan Automobile’s global smart R&D platform and the arrival ceremony of the global R&D center, Changan Automobile once again established a joint innovation center with Huawei, Tencent, Bosch and Qingshan. Time has been pushed earlier, and Xiaokang has joined hands with Alibaba to open in-depth cooperation in the field of automotive intelligence.

According to incomplete statistics, recently, Tencent has reached a cooperative relationship with BMW, Great Wall, Dongfeng and Geely’s Yikatong Technology in less than 30 days, and has accumulated 21 car companies. Tencent also plans to set up a smart car supercomputer center in Chongqing.

Not long ago, Ping An Insurance also signed a contract with Changan Automobile to launch the first consumer-oriented autopilot insurance in China.

Re-starting Chongqing Intelligent Networked Automobile will produce more than 800,000 vehicles next year.

In the era of autonomous driving, Chongqing’s "play" is getting heavier and heavier.

On April 11, 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the national policy "Intelligent Networked Vehicle Road Test Management Specification (Trial)". Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chongqing, which have moved faster, all released local policies before the national policies were introduced.

On March 14, 2018, Chongqing announced the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Self-driving Road Testing in Chongqing (Trial)", which became the "third city of self-driving" in terms of the speed of policy introduction.

Then, in mid-April, Chongqing issued the first batch of license plates for self-driving road test. Seven enterprises, including Changan, Baidu, FAW, Dongfeng, GAC, Geely and Beiqi Futian, filed in, becoming the fourth city in China to issue licenses for self-driving road test after Beijing, Shanghai and Fujian. In January this year, the Chongqing Joint Working Group on Self-driving Road Test Management issued two temporary licenses for road test of self-driving cars to Chongqing Jin Kang, and Jin Kang Automobile became the first new energy automobile enterprise to obtain two licenses in Chongqing.

All kinds of road test sites are also "gushing out". Thanks to the special traffic terrain in Chongqing, Chongqing’s self-driving road test area is known as the "all-round examination room", and Chongqing has become the automatic driving test center in the west.

On this basis, the industrial ecology of Chongqing’s autonomous driving has become increasingly three-dimensional. Chongqing has set up an industrial guidance fund, and also set up a special fund with a quota of 700 million yuan in conjunction with many private funds to invest in companies in the smart car industry.

According to the plan, by 2019, Chongqing will basically build a national third-party public service platform for smart cars and smart transportation new technologies, new products and new applications based on broadband mobile Internet, and carry out tests, evaluations and application demonstrations for assisted safe driving, autonomous driving, smart road network, green car and smart parking based on broadband mobile Internet.

In January this year, Chongqing issued the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Transformation and Upgrading of the Automobile Industry (hereinafter referred to as the Guiding Opinions), proposing that by 2020, the transformation and upgrading of Chongqing’s automobile industry should achieve initial results, with an annual output of more than 3 million vehicles, including more than 200,000 new energy vehicles and more than 800,000 intelligent networked vehicles, achieving an output value of more than 540 billion yuan. "Several Policies and Measures for Accelerating the Development of New Energy and Intelligent Networked Automobile Industry in Chongqing (2018-2022)" and "Policies and Measures for Supporting the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles in Chongqing (2018-2022)" were also issued simultaneously.

Insiders said that the guidance outlined a "road map" for the transformation and upgrading of Chongqing’s automobile industry, that is, taking new energy and intelligent networked vehicles as the main line, promoting the transformation and upgrading of Chongqing’s automobile industry and consolidating its leading position in the country.

According to the guidance, by 2022, Chongqing’s annual output of automobiles is expected to reach about 3.2 million, accounting for 10% of the national annual output of automobiles, with an output value of about 650 billion yuan and a significant increase in the value of bicycles. Among them, the annual output of new energy vehicles is about 400,000 and intelligent networked vehicles is about 1.2 million, making it an important R&D and manufacturing base of new energy and intelligent networked vehicles in China.

With the accelerated maturity and marketization of the self-driving car industry, a large number of talents will also flood in.

"These talents and enterprises are not limited to the service automobile field in the future. Behind the technology accumulation is the rise of the entire big data intelligent industry in Chongqing." Insiders said.
