"Hello, play some music."
"Hello**, turn on the large-screen navigation in the car."
"Hello**, I want to go to Beijing Zoo."
……
As the instruction is issued, the intelligent connected car will automatically play music, turn on the on-board navigation system, and arrange the itinerary according to the time and destination of the instruction.
Conversations like this between people and the cockpit are no longer unfamiliar in our daily lives. Through intelligent voice interaction, people can control in-car functions without leaving their hands on the steering wheel, which greatly improves convenience and safety. .
With the rise of big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, smart cockpits have grown rapidly in recent years and become a key direction for the development of intelligent automobiles. In addition to providing the technological sense of voice interaction, the entertainment, comfort and good looks brought by the smart cockpit are also more in line with the needs of young consumer groups, and are gradually evolving into a "third living space" in addition to homes and offices. .
Intelligent cockpit: the key to intelligent upgrading of automobiles
The smart cockpit deeply integrates multiple smart technologies, including artificial intelligence units, smart instruments, audio and video systems, mobile phone interconnection, Internet of Vehicles, etc.
As a piece of hardware and ecology that is in direct contact with drivers and passengers, smart cockpits are easier to perceive by consumers and are likely to become an important factor affecting users' purchase decisions. Therefore, they have become a key direction of major OEMs in recent years.
In order to meet more requirements of drivers and passengers for vehicle intelligence, both new car-making forces and traditional car companies are constantly strengthening the development and upgrading of intelligent cockpits, integrating artificial intelligence, multi-screen interaction, and multi-mode interaction. , intelligent voice and other leading technologies are integrated into the cockpit to enhance the user's cockpit driving experience from multiple dimensions such as vision, hearing, and touch.
In order to improve the sense of security and comfort during driving through human-computer interaction and immersive experience, more stringent requirements are put forward for the overall computing power, performance, integration and other aspects of the cockpit.
Quectel, as the world's leading provider of overall solutions for the Internet of Vehicles, has created a series of smart cockpit modules to help OEMs and other partners create smart cockpits that combine strength and appearance.
Among them, based on the Qualcomm QCM6125 chip platform, Quectel has developed the AG660K smart cockpit solution, which has been successfully used in SAIC Maxus MILA, MIFA, SK83 and other models, and can provide one-stop services for drivers and passengers on human-machine interaction and other intelligent functions. functional requirements.
Rich in intelligent functions, enjoy an immersive travel experience
From the initial mechanical buttons and touch screens to voice recognition, gesture recognition, facial recognition, etc., human-computer interaction methods have undergone earth-shaking changes and are still evolving to help drivers and passengers perceive and control the cockpit more efficiently and intelligently. internal and external environment.
Quectel AG660K smart cockpit solution not only supports basic multimedia functions, but also has smooth and rich cockpit interaction functions. Drivers and passengers can interact with the cockpit in real time through touch, voice, face recognition and other methods, enabling 360° surround view, Multi-screen interaction, driver monitoring and vehicle control, etc.
Take the driver monitoring system (DMS) application as an example. The solution has a built-in DMS algorithm that supports fatigue detection, distraction detection, abnormal behavior analysis (smoking/phone), face recognition, expression recognition, gaze tracking, gesture recognition, and occlusion. Detection, on-duty/off-duty monitoring and other functions can monitor whether the driver is driving fatigued or driving in violation of regulations, effectively reducing driving risks and traffic accident rates.
In addition, empowered by this solution , Maxus Automobile also has multiple functions such as connected ecology, intelligent scenes, and aesthetic design. It can better meet the personalized requirements of user cockpits through connected applications, scene modes, distinctive visual effects, etc. , bringing drivers and passengers a more convenient, safer, smarter and more technologically immersive travel experience.
With the blessing of computing power, you can easily create a personalized cockpit
The smooth experience of smart cockpit interaction, the application of multiple network connectivity functions, high-end smart driving rendering and the creation of personalized cockpits have greatly improved the user's sense of security and comfort while driving. At the same time, this also affects the communication of software and hardware in the cabin. Ability and computing power have put forward more stringent requirements.
In the Quectel AG660K smart cockpit solution, the core lies in the AG660K. This module is based on Qualcomm QCM6125 chip platform and supports the Android 10 operating system. The 11 nm chip technology is paired with a 64-bit ARM v8 architecture eight-core processor (Kryo260 CPU), with a maximum The main frequency is 2.0 GHz, the CPU computing power reaches 58K DMIPS, and the internal integrated 64-bit AdrenoTM GPU 610 @ 950 MHz high-performance graphics engine can achieve fast and high-quality graphics data processing.
In addition, QCM6125’s built-in cDSP unit with 1TOPS computing power can meet the computing power needs of scenarios such as DMS and relieve the computing pressure on the CPU and GPU.
In addition to high computing power, AG660K also supports 4G cellular connection, 2.4/5 GHz dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, integrating cellular + short-distance coverage capabilities, effectively reducing customers' hardware costs.
At the same time, AG660K has rich multimedia functions and supports dual-screen differential display, fully meeting the development needs of customers in the automotive industry for high-performance, highly integrated large-screen cockpits, and providing strong support for the creation of personalized cockpits.
Through Quectel AG660K smart cockpit solution, SAIC Maxus has achieved exclusive transformation of cockpit applications, opened up data fusion between clouds, completed support for the CPU and GPU in the car, and realized extravehicular environment perception, which is a good It supports the closed loop of intelligent cockpit from sensing, transmission, processing to application.
Supporting software development services help customers win the market
In addition to providing SoC modules that integrate computing power and cellular communications, Quectel also provides software development services and jointly developed entertainment hosts for relevant models with SAIC Maxus. For example, based on the business planning needs of the OEM, Quectel customized and developed the LiteHypervisor system to realize lightweight instrumentation + entertainment host, and jointly completed the development of the in-vehicle system with SAIC Maxus.
It is worth mentioning that AG660K is more cost-effective on the premise of meeting the mainstream functions of smart cockpits, and can reduce in-vehicle costs in multiple dimensions through highly integrated chips that support 4G cellular, as well as supporting software and hardware development, support, testing and other services. Customer development and usage costs allow automobile brands to establish competitive advantages in an increasingly "volume" market.
In the future, Quectel will keep up with market demand, continue to improve its layout in the field of smart cockpits, continue to launch higher-quality products and solutions, and deepen cooperation with industry chain partners such as OEMs and Tier1 suppliers to jointly create safer and more intelligent cockpits. A smarter and more trustworthy smart cockpit.
