What about the smart cars in the eyes of traditional car manufacturers?

Golden Week, Tesla will be in the October 9 Paris Motor Show during the launch of "New goods" message "swim" in the circle of friends, Weibo between. Some say Elon Musk's tweet ("About time to unveil" D and something else.) is a hint of the launch of the new car, but also someone to push the text appears in the "D" actually represents the driving aid system.

Coincides with the holiday, put aside the Tesla of the press conference, and in a German department depot work friends get-together, chatted about their eyes of smart cars.

I asked, "What do you think of Tesla or smart cars?" "The answer is simple and crude, but straightforward:" It's interesting. ”

She spoke first, as if to open a chatterbox: "In fact, there is a big difference between Tesla and the smart car we imagine." The former has a kind, the latter is an endless brain tonic. ”

If you judge from the intelligent point of view, the car is really difficult to do. When you're driving, the intelligent experience the car brings to people now seems to be used only for navigation and multimedia, which means that few people want to risk their lives in a highly concentrated driving process.

"You know what?" I asked the engineers why they wanted to add such an awkward function to the car system, and they told me that it was so absurd to be able to make a family outing so that it wouldn't be boring at leisure. "A designer who has been involved in Toyota's car outsourcing," interposed.

Looking at the conversation, she went on: "The idea of smart cars is great, but traditional cars obviously don't keep pace with them." ”

First, the traditional depot is most concerned about the safety of automobiles, such as spontaneous combustion rate such as safety data to be controlled to the minimum, and "Smart car"? No more than 10% of spontaneous combustion is passed.

Secondly, the traditional plant personnel configuration, Division of labor, department complex, and sometimes a project even have three team in doing, is not a collaborative relationship. and to the external docking cooperation, the other party may have to see dozens of people to be able to talk about a small project.

Third, the traditional depot stresses quality, manufacturing cumbersome. The models that may have been released this year were designed 6 or 7 years ago. has led to its not being up to time.

Finally, the German brain has always been "axis", Rensili son, not flexible. It's impossible for him to make a change.

Chatting so much, the man sitting next to me could not help but say: "No more can not be separated from the policy, smart cars also." I asked: "How to Say?" ”

He said slowly: "Like Tesla, the construction of the charge pile is its life gate, much and less will affect its layout in China." Merkel's visit to China in early July paved the way for the future of the smart electric pile for the German car. So, to do a smart car, there are actually a lot of things to do. ”

By the end of the 23, I was sitting in my car on my way home, thinking that as a driver I wanted "not to be funny" and that I wanted "safe" as a motorist, which might be my basic definition of a smart car. Of course, you'd better not the whole game, the Internet, video to the middle of the control to feel that they have more intelligence, in fact, the poor is still quite far away.

Don't forget, Tesla's press conference was on October 10, well, it's Beijing time.
