The center console is equipped with triple screen, and the interior of M9 is exposed, which will be officially listed in December.

A few days ago, AITO’s new flagship SUV M9 was officially unveiled, but the new car only released its appearance and the interior was not made public. As time went on, we got a spy photo of the interior of the M9 from relevant channels. According to the information obtained before, the M9 will be officially listed in mid-December, and the production car has been off the assembly line. In the future, the new car is expected to be listed and delivered. It is worth mentioning that the reservation has been opened before the M9, and the estimated price is 500,000-600,000 yuan, providing two kinds of power options: extended range version and pure electric version.

From the spy photos obtained, the most striking interior of the M9 is the large joint screen that runs through the center console. It consists of three screens, namely, full LCD instrument, central control large screen and co-pilot entertainment screen, which are all exaggerated in size, and can be linked with the AR-HUD head-up display system to create a strong scientific and technological atmosphere for the car. It is expected that Huawei’s latest HarmonyOS 4.0 cockpit will not be absent.

The air outlet of the air conditioner is decorated with chrome elements and equipped with two wireless charging panels for mobile phones. The central passage area and the door panel are also covered with wooden decorative panels, with brown interior, a large number of leather materials and atmosphere lights, which has a good performance in luxury texture.

According to the spy photos obtained before, the seat of the M9 is relatively wide, and a thickened headrest is added at the head position to further enhance the ride comfort. The second row uses two independent seats, and has rich electric adjustment options and zero-gravity design. Even the third row seats support electric adjustment, thus ensuring ride comfort.

As a large SUV, the gas field of the M9 is quite strong. The most striking thing on the front face is the headlight group. The far and near lights on both sides of the penetrating light strip show the shape of a water bottle, and the light strip with a bit of array is added above, and the LED panel with matrix style is adopted below, and the design is symmetrical up and down, which looks quite chic. In addition, it can also project lights on the ground or wall, and can interact with surrounding vehicles or pedestrians to further enhance the sense of science and technology of the whole vehicle.

The side shape of the car body is quite smooth, and some models also use a two-color body. As can be seen in the details, the roof is equipped with a lidar, and a side-looking camera is added to the front fender, indicating that the new car will be equipped with Huawei’s latest ADS 2.0 high-order intelligent driving system, and the exterior rearview mirror also integrates an NFC contactless unlocking module. According to different models, two styles of 21-inch wheels are available.

At the tail, the penetrating taillights echo the headlights, and the red light strips extend all the way to the inside of the lamp cavities on both sides, and LED panels are also designed in the lower part to ensure the eye-catching effect after lighting. The position of the license plate frame has been concave, which is also a family-oriented design element, and a silver guard plate has been added to the back enclosure for embellishment. The whole tail shape is full and looks quite heavy.

In terms of body size, the declared length, width and height of the new car are 5230/1999/1800mm, and the wheelbase is 3110mm, with a 6-seat layout. For reference, the length, width and height of the ideal L9 are 5218/1998/1800mm and the wheelbase is 3105mm respectively. In contrast, the size of the boundary M9 is slightly dominant.

Wenjie M9 will provide two kinds of power options: extended range version and pure electric version. The extended range version is equipped with a 1.5T range extender with a maximum power of 112kW and two drive motors with a maximum power of 165kW and 200kW respectively, and the declared pure electric cruising range is 175km. The pure electric version also adopts the dual-motor layout. The maximum power of the front and rear motors is 160 kW and 230 kW respectively, and the declared cruising range is 630 km. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with a rear wheel follow-up steering system.

At present, AITO brand owns two models, namely, Wenjie M5 (medium SUV) and Wenjie M7 (medium and large SUV). In the future, Wenjie M9 will become the flagship SUV of the brand, and it is also one of the few new energy large SUVs of its own brand. The main competitor that the new car will face is the ideal L9 (429,800-459,800 yuan), but the latter has a certain advantage in popularity. Let’s wait and see if M9 can catch up. (Text/Comfort)

An article understands the latest development of intelligent driving in LI.

  Recently, the first Ideal Home Technology Day was held in Changzhou Intelligent Manufacturing Base, LI. Under the guidance of "dual-energy strategy", LI has made important breakthroughs in the research and development of smart space, intelligent driving and high-voltage pure electric platform. The ideal SS intelligent space with Mind GPT as the core and the ideal AD intelligent driving which will open the city NOA internal test this month have entered the era of large model at the same time. The ideal 800V high-voltage pure electric platform supporting 5C charging will open the 5G era of charging speed.

  The ideal AD Max 3.0, which entered the era of big model, is growing and iterating at an unimaginable speed in the past. At the product level, the urban NOA function that does not rely on high-precision maps will be delivered to the internal test users in Beijing and Shanghai, so that users can have an ever-evolving "AI driver". In the second half of the year, the commuting NOA function will be opened to users, so that users can have their own "exclusive elevator", making commuting easier and more convenient. On the technical level, AI big model technology is used to deal with all the challenges in the scene, and all the problems can be efficiently iterated and finally solved.

  Perception algorithm: like people, it does not depend on maps and recognizes everything.

  The core of not relying on high-precision maps is to use BEV model to perceive and understand the road structure information in the environment in real time. Through a lot of training, the current BEV model has been able to generate stable road structure information in real time at most roads and intersections.

  For complex intersections, the method is to use the self-developed NeuralPriorNet network (NPN network for short) to extract NPN features of intersections in advance. When the vehicle drives to the intersection again, the previously extracted NPN features are taken out and fused with the BEV feature layer of the vehicle-side perception model, and a perfect perception result is obtained.

  The NPN feature is a bunch of neural network parameters, from which humans can’t directly understand the complex intersection shape, but the large model can. Compared with high-precision maps, NPN features have more information and higher confidentiality. It uses network model instead of artificial rules to understand and use environmental information.

  It is not enough to understand the intersection. "AI drivers" have to understand the traffic rules of traffic lights at intersections, which is another difficulty of urban roads. The mainstream approach is to establish a set of rules and algorithms for traffic intentions of traffic lights and roads, but the ideal is to choose a large model to solve it.

  An end-to-end TrafficIntentionNet network (TIN network for short) is ideally trained. There is no need to set any rules artificially, or even to identify the specific location of traffic lights. As long as the image and video are input into the TIN network model, the network can directly give the result of how the vehicle should go now — — Turn left and right, go straight or stop waiting. By learning the reaction of a large number of human drivers to the change of traffic lights at intersections, the TIN network model is trained, and good results are obtained.

  As shown in the following figure, at the intersection, the TIN network gives the probability of different traffic intentions at the intersection in real time according to the input video image, and the maximum probability value is the actual use intention, which is completely consistent with the indication of the signal light. When the red light is on, the network output waiting probability value is the maximum, and the vehicle keeps waiting. When the green light is on, the left turn probability of the network output increases to the maximum, and the vehicle starts to turn left. Although the result looks simple, the technology behind it is very advanced.

  In the face of common obstacles that may appear on the road, such as construction roadblocks, scattered objects, goods protruding from the back of trucks, etc., Occupancy network is used to accurately identify their boundaries and types. In recent months, the ideal Occupy network has been iterated wildly, and a lot of training miles have been "fed", and the content and accuracy of recognition have been greatly improved.

  Regulation algorithm: free control like a human.

  In order to make "AI drivers" make reasonable judgments like human drivers in driving decisions and trajectories, it is ideal to apply imitation learning method to the planning and control algorithm, and train a large number of drivers’ driving behaviors, so that the decision-making and planning of urban NOA can make judgments more like human drivers on the premise of ensuring safety and conforming to traffic rules.

  For example, when the vehicle needs to turn right, according to the traffic rules, you can choose either of the two lanes after turning right to merge. However, by observing a large number of human driving trajectories, it is found that more than 90% users will take the right second lane instead of the right first lane, because the safety and efficiency of the right first lane are not as good as that of the right second lane directly, and the turning radius of the right second lane is larger, the turning process is more stable, and the family will be more comfortable. Therefore, the final result of the model’s learning and training at this intersection is also inclined to take the right two lanes.

  Training platform: continuous evolution like human beings.

  The evolution of large-scale model needs a powerful basic training platform to complete fast and efficient training and iteration. Ideal started the construction of training platform very early. Up to today, it has grown into an autonomous driving training cluster with 1200 PFLOPS computing power, and the mileage of autonomous driving training has exceeded 600 million kilometers.

       Urban NOA open logic

  Whether a city can open the use of NOA mainly depends on the completion of NPN characteristics of complex intersections in the city. By counting the R&D platforms covered by NPN in cities, we can see the coverage of NPN now, and each point above represents a complex intersection that needs to make NPN features. Among them, green represents the NPN feature of the intersection, which has passed the test and verification and is available, red represents the NPN feature but needs to be verified, and gray represents no NPN feature. At present, there are many red NPN characteristic points all over the country, and there are many green NPN intersections in Beijing and Shanghai where early birds and test cars appear frequently. Next, after the early bird users join, these spots will turn green faster and faster, which means that more and more cities are open.

  The commute you need more, NOA

  Commuting to and from work is usually the most tiring time of the day and the time when driving assistance is most needed. If this road can be opened by NOA, it will solve the big problem. Therefore, it is ideal to introduce commuter NOA products that everyone needs more. With commuting NOA, you don’t need to wait for the NPN features of the whole city to be trained. You just need to set your own commuting route and learn NPN features by car, and you can use NOA functions on this route after learning. If you commute every day, the simple route can be activated within one week, and the more complicated route is expected to be enough to complete the training in 2-3 weeks.

An article to understand the latest development of intelligent driving in LI _fororder_image012

  It is estimated that commuting NOA can cover more than 95% of the commuting scenes of ideal car owners. During the use of NOA for commuting, each model will continue to be iteratively trained, and the better it is, the better the experience will be. With commuting NOA, it is like having your own "exclusive elevator" on the way to and from work, which is definitely the NOA function you need now.

  This month, the ideal will open the NOA internal test of cities in Beijing and Shanghai, and early bird users can take the lead in using the NOA function of cities. In the second half of the year, it is ideal to open the commuting NOA function and more NOA areas in cities, so that every early bird user can use NOA navigation to assist driving during daily commuting.

  All these are the advanced achievements brought by AI big model technology. Through the leading technical architecture and excellent iterative efficiency, AD Max 3.0 platform will gradually meet the needs of all cities and users to use NOA functions on urban roads. When commuter NOA and urban NOA expand on a large scale, it will be a "just-needed configuration" for mid-to high-end cars that can’t be sold well without equipment. (Photo courtesy of LI)

Crisis: After Detroit, are there cities in the United States going bankrupt?

        Flint, USA, suffered from public service crisis one after another and was in depression.

        On August 1st, Flint, Michigan, USA, announced the suspension of garbage collection services in the whole city because the new contract of service providers has not been finalized, which caused the city to fall into a new crisis after the water crisis. Although on the second day, the city urgently reached a temporary agreement with the original service provider Republican Service Company, the economic and financial difficulties faced by Flint once again attracted attention.

        Flint, who didn’t collect garbage, suffered from "shutdown" of public services.

        In June this year, the mayor of Flint, Weaver, proposed to replace the new garbage disposal service provider in the city for financial reasons, but this move was rejected by the city Council. Later, Weaver vetoed the decision of the city Council, and the city government and the parliament turned into a "tug-of-war". Finally, the two sides went to court.

        However, before the court ruled, the contract between the city and the current garbage disposal service company expired at the end of July, so the garbage collection service stopped on August 1. Flint residents can only "store their garbage at home". This triggered the anger of the people in Flint.

        Although the city urgently agreed with the current garbage disposal service company, it will continue to provide garbage collection services during the transition period. However, there will still be delays in the recent garbage disposal.

        Flint: The birthplace of General Motors used to be the "Automobile City" 

        Flint, Michigan, the birthplace of American automobile giant General Motors, is called "Motor City" together with Detroit. But in the 1980s, the automobile industry began to withdraw from Flint, and the city also declined rapidly.

        At present, the unemployment rate in Flint is 13.9%, which is twice the average level in the United States, and the per capita income is less than $15,000, which is only half the average level in the United States. More than 40% of the city’s population lives below the poverty line, and the crime rate remains high, ranking "the most dangerous city in the United States".

        In 2014, in order to save the government’s public expenditure, the Flint municipal government decided to abandon the Detroit water supply system and take water from the local flint river, which eventually led to the serious lead content in tap water consumed by 100,000 local residents.

        Economic and financial difficulties, many cities in the United States are facing a crisis of decline

        In fact, Flint is not a case. There is a well-known "rust zone" in the United States. The "rust zone" refers to the area where industry once flourished and now it has declined. In the United States, the Great Lakes region belongs to such a "rust zone", and Flint is located here.

        The "rust zone" in the United States used to be the gathering place of old industrial areas, but now, many cities are facing the difficulties of old infrastructure and economic and public services. When talking about this topic, I have to mention Detroit, the "city of bankruptcy".

        Detroit: the scenery is infinite to bankruptcy protection

        As the three major automobile companies in the United States — — Detroit, the home base of GM, Ford and Chrysler, became synonymous with American cars as early as 100 years ago. However, due to the single industrial structure, with the decline of the American automobile industry and the migration of production bases, Detroit went into decline.

△ Detroit (data map, from the network)

        In July 2013, Detroit filed for bankruptcy protection because of its debt exceeding 18 billion US dollars, becoming the largest city in the United States to file for bankruptcy protection.

        In 2014, the total population of the city has dropped to 700,000, and as many as 40% of the houses in the city have been abandoned. At the same time, the unemployment rate and crime rate have soared, and education and public service facilities have declined. Some people joked that an Apple mobile phone can buy a suite in Detroit.

        Cleveland: manufacturing base to the most miserable city

        Cleveland, Ohio, used to be the transportation center and steel manufacturing base of the United States. In the 1950s, it had a population of more than 900,000, but after that, the manufacturing industry encountered bottlenecks and the city gradually declined.

        At present, Cleveland has a population of less than 400,000, of which African Americans account for 44%; The crime rate here is very high, with more than 100 murders every year. In 2010, Forbes magazine published the list of the "most miserable cities" in the United States, and Cleveland ranked first.

        Chicago: The next Detroit?

        Chicago, a third-party big city in the United States, started from the steel industry and manufacturing industry. However, in the 1970s, the steel industry was depressed and manufacturing enterprises moved out, and Chicago constantly encountered challenges. In recent years, Chicago is facing the pressure that the government cannot make ends meet and the huge deficit is difficult to resolve.

        Statistics show that in 2015, Chicago’s budget deficit reached 1 billion US dollars, about 6 billion yuan. In order to control government spending, Chicago even raised the charges for 911 calls. Many people say that if Chicago can’t solve the financial crisis, it is likely to be dragged down by huge debts and become the second Detroit.

Corporate Governance Department of the General Administration of Financial Supervision: Preventing the disorderly expansion of industrial capital in the financial sector

The Beijing News Shell Financial News (Reporter Huang Xinyu) The Central Financial Work Conference pointed out that the prevention and control of risks should be the eternal theme of financial work, and the focus should be on comprehensively strengthening supervision, preventing and defusing risks, and firmly holding the bottom line of no systemic risks. The Corporate Governance Supervision Department of the State Financial Supervision Administration (the "General Financial Supervision Administration") said in a column on January 9 that it would take strengthening corporate governance supervision as the starting point and show new achievements in "doing a good job in risk isolation between industry and finance" and "preventing and resolving the unique risks of insurance groups".
Official website, the General Administration of Financial Supervision, showed that after the announcement of the "three-set" plan, the main responsibility of the Corporate Governance Division at present is to formulate a corporate governance supervision system; Carry out equity management and corporate governance supervision, undertake off-site monitoring, risk analysis and regulatory evaluation of financial holding companies, insurance groups and other institutions, conduct on-site investigations according to the needs of risk supervision, take regulatory measures, and carry out case risk disposal.
In terms of "doing a good job in risk isolation between industry and finance", the Corporate Governance Department of the General Administration of Financial Supervision put forward that financial holding companies will be urged to strengthen the construction of "firewalls" between financial enterprises and non-financial enterprises, and between financial institutions, adhere to the principle that "managing the law is more important than managing the illegality" and "managing the industry must manage the risks", and strengthen supervision coordination with other financial management departments, industry authorities and local party committees and governments to prevent the disorderly expansion of industrial capital in the financial field.
In terms of "preventing and resolving the unique risks of insurance groups", the Corporate Governance Department of the General Administration of Financial Supervision will also urge insurance groups to strengthen the asset-liability matching management of the main insurance business, avoid blind and radical expansion of the business side, and prevent key business risks such as spread loss and credit insurance. At the same time, on-site assessment of solvency risk management ability of insurance groups is carried out regularly, and capital constraints are effectively strengthened. Strengthen the management orientation focusing on the main business, and strengthen the management of non-insurance subsidiaries and major equity investments. Strengthen the group’s risk management and control, and check the problems through the special audit of risk contagion to prevent internal risk contagion.
In addition, it is noteworthy that in the column, the General Administration of Financial Supervision has made it clear that it will strengthen the institutional supervision of insurance groups and financial holding companies. Study and establish an off-site supervision framework for financial groups with similar or unified rules, and strengthen the qualification requirements for shareholders and directors. Clarify the functional orientation of financial holding companies and strictly manage the access of financial holding companies.
