Pure electric era, Volvo EX90 in the level of intelligent safety to hard line new forces

In the new forces of electric car hot today, the traditional car companies one by one are unable to sit still, have taken out their own watchword set out to fight. On the eve of the Shanghai Auto Show, Volvo, which takes safety as its selling point, firstly showed its sword by releasing its first all-new pure-electric flagship SUV - Volvo EX90 in China, which will enter the electrification era comprehensively by building a brand new "World Tree" intelligent safety system.

Volvo EX90 is based on the original pure electric platform and centralized electronic and electrical architecture, and creates an all-around coverage of safety space from four dimensions: outside, inside, body, and people. The new car adopts a native pure-electric platform, and does not use the "transitional" structure of oil-to-electricity conversion. The centralized electronic and electrical architecture realizes efficient synergy between software and hardware in the car, strengthens vehicle intelligence and growth, and expands the safety ceiling.

Full-stack self-developed autonomous driving system

In terms of autonomous driving, Volvo adopts a full-stack self-developed perception fusion system, with algorithms from its wholly-owned subsidiary Zenseact, which specializes in autonomous driving solutions. This includes a team of 600+ engineers who analyze real crash data and bring in intelligent AI algorithm training.

Configuration, the car is equipped with LIDAR outside the car is Volvo's earliest investment in the incubation of Luminar, Inc. co-developed LIDAR program. The farthest detection distance of 600 meters, the night can detect pedestrians 250 meters away from the front, equivalent to 120 kilometers per hour driving 7.5 seconds in advance warning.

The intelligent cockpit realizes three major safety aspects

The intelligent cockpit in the car includes three aspects, the safety level is equipped with the DUS driver perception system, which solves the problem of letting the driver focus on the attention as much as possible and pay attention to safety at all times. The driver's seat dual-camera layout accurately recognizes the driving state, a variety of angle perception. 2 megapixel 60-frame infrared camera no matter how fast the blink, can clearly capture the picture.

The capacitive steering wheel accurately recognizes hand movements and prevents deception. Progressive three-level alerts keep lane, slow down and brake and actively call for help while ensuring safety. Meanwhile, in order to ensure the safety of users' data, the whole system can destroy the data immediately after getting off the car, eliminating the privacy leakage.

At the level of vehicle operation, the 3-second principle interaction design is realized to shorten the operation time with shorter operation paths and minimize the risk of driving safety. The interface context bar is designed to provide different functions according to the different states of the vehicle and the owner's usage habits.

The cabin environment level, the use of imported SSD water-soluble spray noise damping sound insulation materials, can do high temperature exposure to the sun without odor. The interior materials are all baby-accessible, providing a healthy and allergy-free space.

Enhancing body safety

EX90 adopts a new generation of cage body structure, which improves the overall torsional rigidity of the body by 50% compared with the previous generation model. In a high-speed collision, the optimized body structure ensures that the battery pack is not involved in energy absorption, resulting in zero deformation of the battery. At the same time, the full-stack self-developed BMS battery management system can disconnect the power in 3 milliseconds, reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion of the tram.

Volvo, as a traditional car company, nearly 100 years of development is his advantage, and the evolving safety system will indeed become the killer mace to face the new power brands directly. As for how the Volvo EX90 actually performs, we can look forward to it.
