Original title: 2018 World Artificial Intelligence Conference launched a high-end dialogue on smart cities, and provinces and cities accelerated the construction of pilot cities | Smart City Weekly

On September 18th, the 2018 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and Edge Intelligence Theme Forum was held in Shanghai. The theme of the forum was "Edge Computing, Smart Future" and it was one of the important theme forums of the 2018 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.

Yu Kai, founder and CEO of Horizon, stressed in his speech that human beings are moving from the era of big data to the era of big computing, and the trend of edge computing is the result of the global Internet technology trend "long-term integration and long-term separation".

"In the PC era, all calculations are on computers, not local calculations. With the development of the Internet, data is increasingly transferred to the cloud and the center, and computing is slowly concentrated from the edge to the cloud. From the beginning of the mobile Internet to the arrival of the Internet of Things era, we have gradually seen another trend-more computing has migrated from the center to the edge. "

At the same time, he also predicted that by 2025, the computing power that every thousand dollars can buy is equivalent to 1000 T, which is enough to support the computing needs of five-level driverless driving. If we continue to develop the matching software system based on this, it is predicted that by 2030, the real five-level unmanned driving will become possible. The interesting thing about the technological trend is that the computing power of 1000 T’s is just equal to that of human brain, which is also a development result worth pondering.

Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone may become a pilot project for the construction of smart cities.

As the "10+1" zone in Shenzhen, the Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone has always been concerned by the outside world. At the two sessions of Guangdong Province held at the beginning of this year, the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Agricultural Workers’ Party put forward the Proposal on Accelerating the Integrated Development of Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone and Shenzhen. The reporter was informed that the Shenzhen Municipal Government recently responded to the proposal, revealing that it will speed up the establishment of a rapid transportation network in Shenzhen and Shantou, and create an innovative experimental zone in the "enclave" of the cooperation zone in the fields of smart city construction, marine management, talent management and institutional reform, so as to promote the integrated development of the "10+1" zone and Shenzhen.

It is understood that according to the "Adjustment Plan of System and Mechanism of Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone" approved by the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, it clearly supports the recent construction of a high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour in the Shenzhen-Shenzhen special cooperation zone (hereinafter referred to as "Shenzhen-Shantou Railway"). In its reply, the municipal government revealed that Shenzhen has proposed the Shenzhen-Shantou Railway Station (Xili-Pingshan-Huizhou-Cooperation Zone, which connects with the Guangzhou-Shantou Railway at the Shenzhen-Shantou Station in the Cooperation Zone). The initial planned length of the line is about 130 kilometers, and the investment is estimated at 23.5 billion yuan. At present, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission has entrusted the design unit to carry out the pre-feasibility study of the project. (Source: Shenzhen Business Daily)

The automatic parking service technology jointly developed by Daimler and Bosch is based on the L4 stage of automatic driving, but it has little requirements for the whole vehicle and sensors, so it is a black technology with universal value. To some extent, Bosch, as a supplier, will be the biggest beneficiary, but Mercedes-Benz must be the leader of this technology.

Chen Ming, president of Bosch Intelligent Networking Division in China, said: "The automatic parking service technology jointly developed by Bosch and Daimler is another effort made by both parties towards intelligent and connected transportation in the future. This new technology will make traditional manual parking a thing of the past, helping drivers save parking time and relieve anxiety. "

It is worth noting that this technology has low requirements on the vehicle itself and sensors, which on the one hand reduces the use cost of the owner, and consumers do not need to pay for too many sensors. On the other hand, it is more convenient to calculate when multiple vehicles use the automatic parking service system at the same time, so as to reduce the accident probability.

　　China’s rapidly rising new car-making companies are in the fiercest market competition, which makes them more motivated to seek rapid landing in the capital market. The latest one is Krypton, which has just been established for two years.

　　If the IPO is successful, Krypton will be the fastest start-up car company established and listed. At present, the China Securities Regulatory Commission has confirmed the filing information of Krypton’s listing outside the United States, and Krypton also started a roadshow three weeks ago to test investors’ reaction.

　　If it goes well, this IPO with a financing scale of over US$ 1 billion will become the largest IPO of China companies in the United States since Didi raised US$ 4.4 billion in mid-2021.

　　A number of investors told the interface news that there is a great possibility of successful listing.Even when the capital is the most active, it takes the shortest time to build a car.It also took four years.

　　A person close to the investor of Krypton roadshow told the interface news that Krypton has not yet negotiated with domestic and Hong Kong investment institutions, and the focus is still on overseas investors. As of the beginning of September, Krypton has held water testing meetings with some investment institutions in Singapore and Europe.

　　Judging from the preliminary negotiation results, Krypton hopes to get a valuation of $18 billion, which is equivalent to the current US stock market value of Auto, whose latest market value has reached $18.274 billion.

　　Several industry investors told Interface News that this valuation was higher than expected. For reference, the acquisition of shares of Volkswagen GroupThe latest market value after the stock price soared was $15.8 billion. In February this year, the post-investment valuation of Krypton Pre-A financing was $13 billion.

　　Considering that it is still in the early stage of intentional communication, there will still be room for downward adjustment in the offer to investors.

　　In recent years, more and more traditional automobile manufacturers in China have established brand-new electric brands, launched independent teams and new products equipped with the latest technology. They are eager to occupy the global pure electric vehicle market and pursue success in the long-term capital market.

　　Extreme krypton isIts pure electric brand is also one of the new brands of traditional automobile companies that are closest to IPO at present. At the same time, it is reported that Ai ‘an, a sub-brand of GAC, may be listed before the end of the year.

　　Krypton is likely to become another China automobile company to land in the US stock market. It has been three years since Tucki was successfully listed on the NYSE, and it is the last new China car-making force to land on the US stock market.

　　It must be admitted that at present, Krypton wants to get a market valuation equivalent to the next "Wei Xiaoli", and the difficulty coefficient doubles.The environment in which it is listed in the US stock market is completely different from the active period of the capital market, and the enthusiasm of investors for the reform of the automobile industry has gradually cooled down.

　　The craze for China companies to go public in the United States began in the 1990s, and the China electric vehicle startup "Wei Xiaoli" with Internet genes also relied on the east wind at that time.After ringing the bell, it gradually grew into China’s headCar company.

　　This close capital cooperation relationship between China and the United States changed at the end of 2020. Subject to enhanced regulatory review, extremely high inflation and risingIn the past two years, the number of Chinese stocks listed on the US stock market and the scale of fund-raising have dropped sharply.

　　The closure of the listing window in the United States has limited the financing of some start-up electric vehicle brands to some extent, but it has not prevented the China automobile industry from completing the alternation of the old and new order. At present, about one car in every three cars sold in China is a car, except for thisExcept, all the other best-selling models are China brands.

　　The new force of making cars is no longer the only protagonist in the automobile market. Traditional automobile manufacturers in China have hatched brand-new electric brands one after another, and participated in the competition with the mentality and urgency of start-up companies and the talent structure similar to that of technology companies.

　　These new energy sub-brands also hope to win the favor of investors. This can not only ensure that it has sufficient funds to cope with the subsequent market competition, but also reduce the cost burden of the parent company in the transformation of new energy.

　　After the financing fever of electric vehicle start-ups peaked in 2021, the Federal Reserve continued to raise interest rates to fight inflation in 2022, and the borrowing cost rose sharply. Wall StreetIssuance, bond financing and corporate merger have all slowed down to almost exhaustion.

　　Although the rising cost of capital is also impacting speculative enterprises in other fields, capital-intensive electric vehicle startups have been hit harder.

　　The cost of establishing a new automobile manufacturing enterprise is high in the early stage, and it will take several years to make a profit. Investors are willing to pay a premium for potential high returns in the era of hot money, but those days are gone forever.

　　Investment bankers, lawyers and investors believe that although there have been signs of recovery this year and the market has gradually rebounded, it is unlikely that the US IPO market will return to the level of 2020 and 2021. Start-ups need to re-adapt to the new investor mentality, that is, pay attention to the potential of start-ups to achieve profitability, rather than the ability to achieve rapid growth.

　　Gui Lingfeng, director of Kearney Consulting, told Interface News that the US capital market still has reservations about emerging projects such as China Stock Exchange, including Krypton, and vehicle manufacturers that only provide pure electric vehicles.

　　"The layout of Krypton in Europe is not easy, especially in German-speaking areas. The core is to enhance the sense of existence in front of overseas investors as soon as possible. From this perspective, they themselves realize that overseas investors are more conservative about their own business models, products and prospects. "

　　Judging from the valuation model, Krypton is still regarded by investors as a technology-based enterprise, not a traditional automobile manufacturer.An industry insider who asked for anonymity pointed out in an interview with Interface News that the current valuation of krypton in the industry is based on 2 to 3 times the sales rate.

　　"From the perspective of open market information, the sales rate of 2 to 3 times has actually been placed in the’ first echelon’, and the valuation prospects are more promising." After the extrusion of the high valuation bubble, the marketing rate of "Wei Xiaoli" has also dropped from the high level of more than 20 times in the past to 2 to 4 times.

　　In contrast, the median sales-to-sales ratio of auto companies listed in the US stock market is 0.81. Traditional automobile manufacturers Toyota, Honda, Stellantis and Krypton’s parent company all have sales rates below 1 times.

　　Market-to-sales ratio (PS) is often used to measure the valuation of unprofitable high-growth start-ups, which refers to how much investors are willing to pay for the company’s revenue of one yuan.

　　For the unprofitable extreme krypton and new car-making forces, the core of investors’ evaluation of market value is not the income from car sales, but largely depends on the future software charges with higher marginal benefits, technology output and imaginative autonomous driving market prospects.

　　The particularity of Krypton lies in that it is a China electric vehicle brand that is separated from the traditional automobile company and seeks independent listing.Although the capital market prefers completely independent new brands without burdens, relying on it, Krypton will amortize the platform R&D investment and capital expenditure together with other Geely brands. This is an extremely advantageous advantage, or let the polar krypton present.The data is optimistic.

　　It is worth noting that Geely Group has the largest number of sub-brands in the world.

　　"Investors will look at it rationally, and whether the R&D and supply and procurement costs of extreme krypton can be reflected in the gross profit of the financial report through the scale advantage of Geely Automobile.Statistically. "

　　Gui Lingfeng told the interface news, including how exclusive the vast architecture of SEA can be, and the strategic investors.How much support is given to Krypton will affect the final valuation of Krypton.

　　If Krypton chooses to postpone its listing for one to two years, it will be more likely to obtain a larger financing amount and valuation.The above-mentioned insiders believe that as the Fed starts to cut interest rates again in the next 1-2 years, it will drive the secondary market to increase its enthusiasm. From the market fundamentals, the volatility of the US stock market declined, inflation eased, and investors began to speculate again.

　　Considering its own financial situation and subsequent development, Krypton hopes to seize the market recovery period as soon as possible and rebound with the market trend.In the first half of this year, the net loss of krypton reached 809 million yuan, which continued to expand compared with the loss of 759 million yuan in the same period of last year. From the construction of offline channels to the completion of the cockpit and the short board of intelligent driving, it is necessary to continue to invest money.

　　Including from within Geely Group, there is a growing demand for Krypton’s self-financing and independence. Due to the pressure on profitability in the early stage of new energy transformation and the related investment in the start-up business of extremely high-end smart electric vehicles, global rating agenciesandThe credit outlook of Geely Holding Company and Geely Automobile has been adjusted from stable to negative.

　　During the quiet period of the capital market, many start-ups were forced to do things that seemed unimaginable two years ago: continue to reduce costs and increase efficiency, with profitability as the core benchmark. Some start-ups that failed to get external financing support in time, with the passage of time, their cash reserves are decreasing day by day, and eventually they will go bankrupt or be acquired.

　　Compared with the competition for customers, automobile manufacturing is more a competition for capital, especially in the initial stage.Compared with other traditional automobile companies’ sub-brands, Krypton is one of the few companies that have the mature conditions for listing.

　　At present, Krypton has initially taken shape. Last year, the annual sales volume of 70,000 single-model vehicles was enough to tell the next story to the capital market. the year of 2020At the time of listing, the annual delivery volume was 32,600 vehicles.

　　Another factor that is easily overlooked is that Geely Automobile, the parent company, may be the most adept at capital operation in China, and its experience in dealing with foreign investment institutions for many years has laid the foundation for the listing of US stocks today. Krypton considered Hong Kong as the first listing place, but finally chose new york, which also reflected its confidence and ambition-hoping to get a higher valuation in the world’s largest capital market.

　　In 2010, Geely Automobile succeeded fromThe acquisition of Volvo in the hands staged a classic of "snake swallowing elephant" in the history of automobiles.The case also made Geely Automobile go to the world. After that, the investment portfolio of Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Holding Group, also includes a part of the equity of aston martin, a sports car brand, and a dominant interest in electric vehicle start-up brands such as Polar Star and Lotus Technology.

　　Before the successful listing of Krypton, Li Shufu had been listed for several subsidiaries in the past two years. Volvo in Stockholm, Sweden in 2021The exchange made a public offering, followed by Polar Star and Yijiatong. Lotus Technology also reported this year that it will be listed on the US stock market through SPAC.

　　The investment institutions involved in the above-mentioned listing actions are very likely to appear in the extremely kryptonian investor list. Thanks to the close contact between the parent company and global investment institutions, Krypton at least does not need to introduce where he comes from when negotiating with foreign investors.

　　Some people commented to the interface news that Geely Automobile will not make an uncertain listing plan. Except for the listing of ants in 2021, Geely Automobile withdrew its listing in science and technology innovation board, and all other listing targets were successfully achieved.

　　Investors’ concern about Krypton is how to achieve the goal of selling 650,000 vehicles in 2025 while ensuring their independence.In investment, platform sharing andandIn terms of the supply of scarce parts, there will inevitably be conflicts of interest between Krypton and other high-end electric vehicle brands under Geely.

　　Extreme Krypton, Volvo, Polar Star, Lotus Technology and Geely andThe jointly launched Extreme Vietnam is striving for the same customers, and some of the models they developed are based on the common vast SEA architecture, and even some models are produced in parallel.

　　The Wall Street Journal quoted investor analysis as saying that Geely Automobile’s listing of its subsidiary, rather than the holding company itself, may make the governance challenge of brand competition more difficult: any hint that Li Shufu prefers a subsidiary is a minority.Will be very important for everyone.

On May 31st, the global launch conference of Chery TIGGO Tiggo 9 was held in Beijing, and five models were launched, including the leading version, the deluxe version, the distinguished version, the ultimate version and the flagship version, with an official guide price of 152,900-203,900 yuan.

Tiggo 9 is the first model built by Chery Automobile based on the Mars architecture-super hybrid platform, which integrates the most advanced product technology and configuration points of the Tiggo family. Its launch is an important node for Chery to start a new global journey in the new era.

Since the listing of the first generation of Chery Tiggo, it has always reflected the development and evolution of domestic automobile brands and is a witness to the rise of domestic brands. The brand-new Tiggo 9 listed this time will bring users a higher quality and higher value life experience through the global upgrade with the strength of "9 leapfrog comforts +3 flagship qualities".

　　Nowadays, the price of new energy vehicles is the same as that of fuel vehicles, and it is inevitable that new energy will grab the share of fuel vehicles. Take the medium-sized and large SUV with a budget of 300,000-400,000 yuan. Do you want to increase the program, or the pure fuel version of Ford? Both cars have a body exceeding 5 meters, and the whole department has a 6-seat design. Explorers have 6 seats and 7 seats to choose from. The guide prices of M7 and 2023 explorers are 319,800-379,800 yuan and 309,800-379,800 yuan respectively.

　　Space: The third row of explorers is slightly more spacious than the M7.

　　In terms of sales volume, there were 1,100 vehicles sold in the market in July, while in August, the total sales volume of the entire customer M5 and M7 reached 10,045 vehicles, and the effective orders of the customer M7 so far exceeded 50,000 vehicles. Looking at the explorers, in the first eight months of this year, the total sales volume was 8964 vehicles, and the average monthly sales volume exceeded 1000 vehicles. From the current point of view, the monthly sales of the M7 and the Explorer are similar, but what about the future? The market will give the answer!

　　From the product itself, both the Explorer and the Quest M7 are medium and large SUVs with similar body sizes, but the Explorer is 43 mm longer than the Quest M7, and the Explorer with a wheelbase of 3,025 mm is longer than the Quest M7 with a wheelbase of 2,820 mm. The longer wheelbase gives the Explorer a slightly more spacious third row space than the Quest M7. Compared with the size, the length, width, height and wheelbase of the explorer’s body are indeed above the boundary M7.

　　Performance: The rear drive explorer accelerates faster and the four-wheel drive interface M7 is stronger.

　　From the performance point of view, the zero-acceleration of Explorer’s rear-wheel drive and Wenjie’s M7 rear-wheel drive is 7.6 seconds and 7.8 seconds respectively, and only the lowest equipped models of the two cars are rear-wheel drive designs, and the prices are 309,800 yuan and 319,800 yuan respectively. In terms of four-wheel drive models, the four-wheel drive acceleration of Explorer and Quest M7 is 7.8 seconds and 4.8 seconds respectively, and the guide prices are 329,800-379,800 yuan and 339,800-379,800 yuan respectively, and the prices are close.

　　Explorers are all equipped with a 2.3T turbocharged engine and a matched 10AT transmission, with an output of 276 HP and 425 N.. Rice, just add 92# gasoline. The 1.5T four-cylinder engine on the M7 is only used for power generation and does not directly drive the vehicle, but 95# gasoline needs to be added. The M7 rear drive is equipped with 200 kW and 360 N.. Rice motor; Like the rear motor of the four-wheel drive model, the power of the front motor is 130 kW and 300 N. Rice.

　　M7 plus 95# gasoline, but the fuel consumption is lower than that of Explorer, and the front suspension of Explorer is better.

　　Explorers refuel for a few minutes, but the battery life of M7 rear drive and four-wheel drive pure electric WLTC is 150 km and 135 km, and it takes 30 minutes for slow charging and 5 hours for fast charging. People who buy extended-range cars generally don’t want to wait for a slow charge, unless they have a private charge at home, which is mainly to refuel and generate electricity. The fuel consumption of M7′ s rear drive and four-wheel drive is 6.85L and 7.45L respectively, while the combined fuel consumption of Explorer’s rear drive and four-wheel drive is 9.07L and 10.08L, and the actual fuel consumption may be slightly higher than this fuel consumption.

　　In terms of energy consumption, at the same price, even with refueling, the fuel consumption of the boundary M7 is definitely lower than that of the explorer, and the use cost of the boundary M7 will be lower than that of the explorer. If you drive for a short distance and charge conveniently, the use cost under charging is lower. Looking at the driving quality, Explorer’s front suspension is a double-ball-joint spring strut suspension, while Wenjie M7 is an ordinary McPherson independent suspension, and both rear suspensions are multi-link independent suspensions.

　　The key point is the difference of the front suspension. As the best family car controlled by BMW, BMW 3 Series also adopts the double-ball joint spring shock absorption strut suspension, which makes the control more accurate and flexible. However, there is a 40-degree ternary lithium battery on the chassis of the car body, which makes the weight of the chassis heavier. After the center of gravity is lowered, the driving quality of the car body will not be weak.

　　In terms of configuration, the asking M7 is more abundant than the explorer, but it is not much at similar prices. Take the entry-level rear-drive model as an example, the asking M7 is 10,000 yuan more expensive, which also includes door-opening warning, 360 panoramic image, full-speed adaptive cruise, automatic parking, HUD head-up display, wireless charging function of front-row mobile phones, heating, ventilation and massage functions of the first and second rows of seats, and 12 audio and negative ion generators. However, regarding the central control screen, the explorer’s 27-inch screen is larger than the 15.6-inch screen of the world M7, and both the explorer and the world M7 have L2-level driving assistance capabilities.

　　Write it at the end

　　The budget of 300,000-400,000 yuan is to buy medium and large SUVs, and the explorers provide 6 and 7 seats to choose from, while only 6 seats are available to ask for the M7. At similar prices, the configuration of the M7 is slightly richer than that of the explorers, while the M7 is exempt from purchase tax, and thanks to Huawei’s technical blessing, its popularity is higher than that of the explorers. Judging from the use cost, the fuel consumption cost of the M7 is definitely lower, and both cars can be poetic and far away. The short-distance M7 can also reduce fuel consumption by pure electric driving. Although the space of the boundary M7 is slightly smaller than that of the explorer and the central control panel is not as large as that of the explorer, at a similar price, many people may choose the boundary M7 for the sake of green cards and lower fuel consumption.

　　When it comes to China’s own brand car companies, BYD can definitely occupy a place. In the new energy vehicle market, BYD Han is undoubtedly one of the models that are currently concerned. As the flagship model of the brand, Han EV has won market recognition by virtue of its superior performance and excellent endurance, and as a plug-in hybrid model of its first milk compatriot — Han DM was also listed at the same time.

　　In fact, in the domestic market, BYD plug-in hybrid models have been sought after by consumers with the advantages of "short-distance electricity consumption and long-distance oil consumption". According to statistics, the sales volume of plug-in hybrid models in China market in 2019 totaled 204,200. As the flagship model of BYD plug-in hybrid, Han DM appeared strongly at this time. Can it stir up the new energy vehicle market again? Recently, the reporter tested this model.

　　At present, Han DM is selling two models, namely, the luxury model with four-wheel drive performance, with a subsidized price of 219,800 yuan, and the distinguished model with four-wheel drive performance, with a subsidized price of 239,800 yuan. The car is positioned as a medium and large luxury car, and it is also BYD’s first production car equipped with super hybrid DM-p technology. The model tested by this reporter is a four-wheel drive performance version.

　　In terms of appearance, Han DM inherits the design language of BYD family Dragon Face, which is different from the fully enclosed air intake grille of Han EV. Han DM adopts a hexagonal air intake grille with a large mouth, which makes the front face look more aggressive and recognizable.

　　In terms of size, the length, width and height of Han DM are 4960/1910/1495mm and the wheelbase is 2920mm respectively. The lines of the whole vehicle are simple and smooth, highlighting the simple and elegant temperament, which also highlights its extravagance as a flagship model.

　　When you get into the car, the 15.6-inch large screen on the center console is definitely an eye-catching highlight, and the interior style full of traditional elements of China also creates a strong elegant luxury. In terms of interior materials, Han DM has also made great efforts. Nappa leather package with white cork veneer and careful attention to details highlight the exquisiteness and sophistication that Han DM should have as a flagship model.

　　It is understood that Han DM is BYD’s first plug-in hybrid production car equipped with hybrid DM-p technology, which is optimized and upgraded on the basis of DM 3.0, in which the letter P means powerful and strong, and from its 4.7-second 100-kilometer acceleration, it is enough to match the "strong" strength.

　　The system consists of a 2.0T all-aluminum engine and a high-voltage, high-speed and high-efficiency driving motor. The 6-speed wet powershift has a maximum power of 321kW and a maximum torque of 650N&bull. m。 In addition, Han DM is equipped with a power battery with a capacity of 15.2kWh, and the cruising range of NEDC in pure electric mode is 81km.

　　Calm and smooth flagship luxury car should have the gas field.

　　The first feeling of driving Han DM is that it is very calm, which is in line with its gas field as a flagship luxury car. The driving experience on urban roads can also be summarized by the word "smooth". In terms of chassis, Han DM adopts the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. When the road surface is slightly bumpy, Han DM can easily resolve the vibration, and the vibration filtering is relatively soft, which is almost imperceptible to the front and rear passengers in the car. It is very suitable for daily use, and the whole process makes people feel very comfortable.

　　In terms of power, Han DM provides five power modes, including pure electricity, parallel connection, series connection, high speed and energy recovery. EV pure electric mode is perfect for daily commuting in urban road conditions, which is very light to drive and fast to start and accelerate at medium and low speeds. When the battery is low, the system will automatically switch to HEV mode, and the engine will provide the main power and charge the battery in reverse.

　　In HEV mode, Han DM showed a rapid performance of 4.7 seconds. Under the dual drive of motor and engine, it can feel its powerful power output whether starting or overtaking. In the high-speed section during the test drive, this excellent high-speed sports characteristic was brought into full play.

　　In addition, what impressed the reporter was that in this mode, every intervention of the engine can be "smooth and silent", and the switching is very smooth, which makes people feel no jitter, and the whole process can be described as "smooth".

　　The five power modes of Han DM all adopt intelligent switching, without manual control by the driver, and the vehicle will automatically switch according to the vehicle demand in each working condition and scene, thus ensuring the optimization of power and energy consumption.

　　In terms of handling, the steering power of Han DM is divided into standard and sport. In the standard mode, the reporter’s personal feeling is a little heavy, and girls need to adapt to it when driving, but this is also in line with the stability of its steering texture as a flagship model.

　　In terms of quietness, the official data of Han DM show that when the speed is 120km/h, the noise value in Han DM car is only 63.5 decibels. This has also been fully proved during the test drive. When the vehicle travels to 100-120km/h on the expressway, the passengers in the vehicle do not need to raise the tone deliberately, and the sound insulation effect is ideal.

　　Comprehensive intelligent configuration brings a rich car experience.

　　In addition to bringing quiet feeling to the interior space, Han DM is also equipped with a series of intelligent configurations. In addition to the rotating 15.6-inch screen mentioned above, Han DM is also equipped with DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system, which can realize L2.5-level automatic driving assistance, including full-speed adaptive cruise, curve speed control system, front collision warning system, automatic emergency braking system, pedestrian identification/protection system, emergency braking assistance system and lane departure warning system. Combined with the software and hardware system of DiLink 3.0, the interaction between people and vehicles is realized, which brings more convenient and intelligent operation and richer car experience.

　　In addition, in terms of active safety, Han DM is equipped with 15 radars, 6 cameras, 3D panoramic transparent image system, and has the functions of speed sensing automatic locking and active tire pressure detection, so as to ensure the safety of people in the car at all times during driving.

　　In the post-epidemic period, in order to meet consumers’ higher requirements for in-vehicle air disinfection, Han DM is equipped with CN95 filter element with remote high-temperature disinfection and sterilization mode, so that drivers can fully disinfect the in-vehicle air before getting on the bus, filter pollutant particles adsorbed by viruses in advance, and reduce air hazards when using the car.

　　In addition, it is worth mentioning that for female drivers, Han DM also thoughtfully adopted Fuyao’s "Sunscreen Black Umbrella" with silver-plated film interlayer to prevent three safety car windows, and the ultraviolet isolation rate reached over 99%, so that women don’t have to worry about sun protection while driving.

　　Editor’s summary:

　　It is undeniable that the price of more than 200,000 yuan is not cheap for self-owned brand models, but if it has many advantages such as high performance, high configuration and low fuel consumption at the same time, and the price/performance ratio exceeds the level of its peers, the reporter thinks that BYD Han DM is indeed considerable. No matter its acceleration ability, chassis quality or all-round intelligent configuration, this flagship model can meet the daily use of families. In the domestic mixed market, Han DM can be regarded as a model worthy of starting.
