In addition, the current version does not support the elevated ramp scenario, and OTA upgrade and optimization will continue in the future.
● Equation leopard
OTA involves models:Equation Leopard Leopard 5
OTA content:Leopard U-turn, intelligent voice, etc.
OTA push time:March 1st.
A few days ago, we learned from the official that Equation Leopard 5 will usher in the first OTA upgrade. This upgrade involves the addition and improvement of many functions such as Leopard U-turn, intelligent voice, intelligent interaction, privacy protection and intelligent driving. It is reported that the official Equation Leopard will be pushed to all users of Leopard 5 in batches from March 1.
In this OTA upgrade, Leopard 5 fully opens the "Leopard U-turn" function, which controls the forward and reverse directions of the front and rear motors through the electronic control system, and the braking control of diagonal wheels through the IPB control system, thus achieving the effect of greatly reducing the turning radius on unpaved roads, with a minimum turning radius of only 3.4m. When extreme U-turn and turn are required during driving, the user can activate the Leopard U-turn function by clicking the driving mode of the central control panel-Leopard U-turn-and selecting the matching flat terrain at the top of the screen.
In this upgrade, Leopard 5 also added and optimized a number of voice control functions. After the upgrade, Leopard 5 can recognize speech intention more accurately and understand more complicated conversations. Its newly added cross-tone instruction inheritance function can realize cross-tone function dialogue, and users of different seats need only say "I want it" without repeating the same instruction. When the main driver sends out "Hello Xiao Fang, turn on the seat heating" and the rear row uses the instruction "Me too" to complete the instruction inheritance, the system will simultaneously turn on the rear seat heating function.
At the same time, Leopard 5 has added the function of seeing and talking about Gaode map, allowing users to realize navigation and other operations through simple voice commands in the customized Gaode map App in the car. Users no longer need to touch the screen manually or perform complicated operations, such as saying "navigate to the parking lot of the National Grand Theatre", and the system can automatically identify and plan the best route. The voice control function of Divare headrest is added, which eliminates manual control during driving, and it is more convenient to wake up Xiaofang by voice. Based on cross-screen control and multi-screen linkage technology, Leopard 5 optimizes the cross-screen voice control function, and the co-pilot can control some functions of the central control screen by voice, such as opening or closing applications and adjusting volume. The co-pilot can control the central control screen by saying "Hello Xiaofang, turn on the national K-song of the central control screen and turn up the volume", and the multi-screen interaction and multi-screen operation are easier.
In terms of privacy protection, Leopard 5 has added privacy management location service settings. Users can set the validity period of the location service and add locks to privacy security at regular intervals. In terms of off-road safety, the function of automatically triggering panoramic images in steep slopes of off-road scenes is added. When the body angle exceeds a certain value, the panoramic images are automatically triggered, which provides drivers with more comprehensive and accurate information about the surroundings of the vehicle and makes off-road more secure.
In terms of user interface, Leopard 5 has improved the texture of UI interface details, and the icons are more dynamic. At the same time, the details of intelligent driving and parking functions have also been optimized, making driving more comfortable and parking more silky. This upgrade also optimizes the setting method of electric pedals, making the setting process more intuitive and convenient, and has nearly ten other functions such as instrument alarm prompt, refrigerator door ajar prompt and seat heating function.
