Nowadays, online taxi drivers no longer like to chat.

Five years ago, the few kilometers from Jiuxianqiao to Wangjing required more than 20 traffic lights, and they would introduce you to more than 10 scenic spots, but you couldn't get a word in. Now the situation is reversed. If you ask them how to get to a certain road, when a certain scenic spot is less crowded, or about a certain celebrity's anecdotes, the response you get is just "hmm, ha, um, ah", like a supporting actor who hasn't woken up yet.

Last time, an older brother told me, "Everything is recording audio, so if you talk too much, you will make mistakes." After saying that, he pointed at the car-mounted probe, and afraid that I couldn't see it, he bent it so that it was facing my face as I sat in the back seat.

At first I thought it was the advancement of technology that made people more distant from each other.

While my brother was waiting for the red light, he switched to the smart screen and the picture jumped from Cyndi Wang to "Honor of Kings". The situation in the river in the game was as tense as the road conditions at 7 pm. My brother's teammates were cursing because they took my order and my brother temporarily lost contact in the game, which resulted in his teammates missing the chance to grab the little dragon.

Sometimes we will ask knowledgeable passengers to help "take the bus"

After dropping me off at the station, he parked the black car on the roadside at the corner, blending into the night under the shade of the trees. After dinner, I went downstairs to buy cigarettes and found that he was still there. Through the half-open car window, I could vaguely hear him scolding his teammates. The gist of it was that his teammates accepted an online car-hailing order and lost contact in the game, which caused him and another driver to fail to gain points.

Can you imagine that the lonely online car-hailing vehicle is facing a difficult choice at this moment: should it gain points or continue to lie low? The big brother's mid-lane Gan Jiang Moye has already mastered the game to perfection, just like the afterimage of a car's taillights in the evening rush hour traffic.

Taxi drivers used to build a secret interpersonal network in the city through walkie-talkies. They communicated with simple codes, such as "Hey, someone got on my car. It's going to the airport. The highway is a bit congested. Don't go this way. Wait for me at T2." This made passengers feel like they were in a spy movie. Online car-hailing drivers, on the other hand, shared their daily experiences through WeChat group voice chats, from the early morning gate of the community to every detail on the road.

However, with the arrival of new energy vehicles, the way drivers communicate has changed again.Now, they are more inclined to find a combination of speed and passion in the vehicle's intelligent system, and enjoy the thrill of keeping pace with the world through high-speed data transmission and advanced in-vehicle technology.In these vehicles, drivers are no longer simply chatting, but are experiencing the blessing of faith brought by technological progress in a flash.

How much fun is it to play games with a new energy vehicle?

Today's new energy vehicles are no longer the economical means of transportation they were a few years ago.Men's development of new energy vehicles has entered the next level.

Take the Jiyue 01 for example. It has a 35.6-inch 6K ultra-clear integrated screen that floats above the center console. Combined with the Baidu-provided view, the map image can appear on the large screen in a real simulation. The rear-view radar can also be seen more clearly and at a wider angle. However, some people have found that this is too suitable for playing racing games. "Entering the game and switching to the first-person perspective is more fun than playing arcade games. This is real racing."

If that’s not enough, you can add a handle to get a real driving experience.

"When using Tesla, you don't even need to use Steam or a controller. You can just use the steering wheel to play racing games without worrying about the tires turning."

"The other day I saw a person driving a QX M9, who was parked in the community playing a racing game. The owner told me that he had just bought the car and was not familiar with the road, so he was practicing. I saw that he was turning with full S+ speed, and the speed was almost 300 miles per hour."

After a fierce internal competition among domestic new energy vehicles, the sales pitches of most brands in 4S stores are almost the same. For potential buyers, those who can reach the test drive stage basically know what is going on - this is not their first test drive, and it certainly won't be the last.

A car salesman once said,"Just like choosing digital products, women pay more attention to appearance, while men pay more attention to function."

Men nowadays don’t even care about fuel consumption and acceleration. When they go for a test drive, they first turn on the smart central control and take out their mobile phones to play a car game to see if it lags. “Some even bring game controllers for a test drive. The only difference is that some models can run at 40 frames per second, while others can run at 60 frames per second.”

They call them "enthusiasts" or "heavy users of car games", as if they are not going to buy a car but to choose a game console.

This trend seems to indicate the future direction of the automotive industry. In the future, car manufacturers may have to make intelligence and personalized experience a top priority. After all, today's consumers want more than just a car that can run, but also an intelligent partner that understands them and can play with them.

Don’t underestimate this gaming function of new energy vehicles. To some extent, it is the prerequisite for some men to decide whether to buy this car.

"I can't imagine what the point of buying a car is if the game fluency of the car is too low and it always makes some poor men stuck in unlucky team battles? They wanted to make their lives smoother, but now it has become a nuisance."

For some people,Their new energy vehicles are more like a mobile Internet cafe that runs tirelessly in the city.

My colleague Lao Zhang is always missing during lunch break, so he runs to the garage downstairs in the company to play a few games. His BYD Han EV recently upgraded its smart system. He used to play games by projecting the screen, but now he can download Android games from Wandoujia.

He turned on the surround sound system in the car and tuned to his favorite electronic music channel. As the rhythm rose and fell, his mood also relaxed. He skillfully connected his game controller and prepared to start his midday adventure. His finger lightly swiped across the screen, and the game interface instantly unfolded. "Only when you open the car door can you feel relaxed."

At the beginning, Lao Zhang was annoyed by the frequent upgrades of the car system. Now it is upgraded only once a year. Lao Zhang even has a keyboard and mouse, as if he takes every game victory seriously.

China's domestically produced car systems have now entered the fast lane of intelligence. They are no longer simple navigation and audio consoles, but have become smart centers that integrate entertainment, information, and services.

The car games are a door to a new world for users. While waiting for charging or parking for a rest, people can turn on the car screen, connect the controller, and immerse themselves in a colorful world of racing, shooting, role-playing, etc. This is not just a pastime, but also a new way to relax, making the time after driving full of fun, "even going downstairs to take out the trash more often."

The gaming functions of domestic car computers are becoming a new favorite among male consumers with their unique appeal. They not only provide a gaming experience different from that of mobile phones or computers, but also bring a new way of socializing.You can play online, share the same car, and even form game teams and communicate through voice through the car's AI.

Today's car computer systems are far from the simple devices we imagine, which "give no feedback after being fed for a long time". They are becoming another intelligent partner in our lives, turning every trip into a nightmare for teammates in the game.

How bumpy is the computer system of new energy vehicles?

Li Hua likes to make face-to-face appointments with friends. They used to plan to go fishing in Liangma River together, but later he heard that someone had encountered strange things, so he decided not to go and instead played games near Chaoyang Park.

In a corner of the parking lot, two NIO ET5s were parked side by side, with the lights inside the cars flashing, as if two warriors were preparing for a battle under the cover of night.

The familiar background sound of the game came from the car. They were playing Landlord. "We never fight for Landlord. We just play it for free and win some phone bills."

As the game began, Li Hua and his comrades were completely immersed in the tension and excitement of card counting. He was no longer the gentle Mr. Li in the office, but a fearless farmer.

"Last time I took a friend to play Contra in the Model Y. I told him to help me pass the giant octopus level and asked him to give me the laser bullets. If he didn't want to, then he shouldn't. Hey, you're still angry with me."

Domestic new energy vehicles seem to be the ultimate toys for men. They can run, play and even be used as simple hotels.When men firmly de-BBA-ized and embraced new energy, the city's direction had already changed.

In this confined space, people invite their trusted friends to play a game of live esports or two rounds of King of Glory. When a group of drivers sit side by side in the parking lot, they may be plotting to team up to kill the big dragon. Those big boys who are exhausted by various workplaces are still exploring the strange potential that does not originally belong to new energy vehicles.

When we talk about domestically produced new energy vehicles, it is like discussing a group of superheroes with superpowers. Even the car systems of some car brands have already evolved powerful functions, and those cyber digital tentacles have spread all over the cockpit.

Weilai's "NOMI" is not only your smart co-pilot, but can also become your personal DJ, ready to play your favorite playlists for you at any time, or provide tactical support when you are playing games; Xiaopeng's intelligent system is no longer satisfied with navigation and music playback. It can now play simulator games with you, allowing you to relive childhood classics while waiting for red lights; Ideal L9's intelligent system is open enough to connect to your game console, whether it is Switch or PS5.

BYD's car system can even recognize your facial expressions, adjust the atmosphere in the car, and even tell a joke when you are tired; Roewe's car system can not only help you find the nearest charging station, but also provide entertainment while you are charging, so you don't have to waste time finding your way; Geely's car system integrates smart home control functions, allowing you to control smart devices in your home in the car, achieving seamless connection between car and home, and even connecting to cloud computers to achieve remote real-time smart office.

And when these hidden functions have been fully explored, it is inevitable that you will encounter some strange requests that pop up in the middle of the night.

Zhang was once asked by his boss to change a code after get off work. "I lied and said I didn't have a computer at home. The boss was stunned for a moment and then said, 'Go to the garage and use your car smart screen to connect to the company's cloud server, and you can change it. This is what the product manager told me.'"

"This is the double-edged sword of technological development. There is no escape from it. There is no escape from it."Lao Zhang's heavy smoke rings in the air were sometimes a period, sometimes an exclamation mark, and finally turned into a question mark.

New energy vehicles, a way of life

Before getting married, Li Hua often drove his NIO ES6 to the mountains outside Beijing with his girlfriend on weekends, where he had his private "Starry Sky Cinema".

He would set up a portable electric screen at the rear of the car and connect it to a high-definition projector. As the device started up, the light beam penetrated the night sky, projecting the light and shadow of the movie. Then he would bring out two reclining chairs and place them at the best viewing spot. There were popcorn and iced drinks on the small table next to them. He was very good at creating the atmosphere of a movie theater.

After the preparations were completed, he and his girlfriend sat back on the recliner, looked up at the starry sky, took a deep breath, and felt the tranquility of being one with nature. At the beginning of the movie, the chirping of insects and the breeze around became the natural soundtrack, and the stars intertwined with the pictures on the screen. "Anyone who comes here will be confused. The last thing a tram lacks is electricity. It's easy to have shortness of breath when watching in the car, and the girl is also uncomfortable. Move out and feel the heart is higher than the sky."

"Of course, this is also an important reason why my wife won't let me take the car electric screen out for a stroll after we got married. If I want to go, I can only go with her. She can't beat me in games, so I have to coax her."

Lao Zhang is a software engineer at work, and on weekends, he likes to drive a Roewe Marvel R as his mobile coffee station.

"I started going to 798 or Songzhuang, but later I found that boring, so I just drove out for a stroll. I would go to places with a lot of people, especially young people, and soon a group would gather around."

In Lao Zhang's trunk, various coffee beans, hand-brewed pots, filter papers and mugs are neatly placed on the customized wooden shelves.

As the grinder turns briskly, the coffee beans are ground into fine powder. Lao Zhang likes to watch the coffee powder slowly expand, "just like a written program waking up in the cup."

“I usually don’t stay in one place for more than an hour for fear of causing trouble.” After packing up the coffee utensils, Lao Zhang closed the trunk and set out on his journey again.

This seems to be their other understanding of new energy vehicles.They not only provide a form of entertainment, but also provide another dimension of lifestyle.

As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city fades away. Lao Zhang sits in his car, and the quietness inside the car is in sharp contrast to the prosperity outside. He touches the screen and turns on the high-definition movie mode in the car. The light and shadow of the starry sky cinema unfolds behind the car. This time, he chooses not a movie, but a quiet time to spend with his car.

What can people do to pass the time while new energy vehicles are charging seems to have become an interesting social issue, and whether people like to wait while charging is probably something that can be seen at the conscious level. "Of course, NIO is not included. It only takes three to five minutes to change the battery, and the philosophical thinking ends before it even begins."

New energy vehicles are not just a combination of steel and electricity, they are also an extension of a lifestyle. You can understand them as a shelter for emotions.In this private space, men find a special connection with their car, it plays with you, makes you laugh, and comforts you when you are sad.

Compared to mobile phones and tablets, Li Hua still prefers playing games in the car, from the high-definition touch screen to the responsive smart system, from the comfortable seats to the carefully tuned sound effects. These details, "are the key to reliable score gains." He is currently looking at a Leapmotor car with three smart screens. "Not only do you have a wider game view than a mobile phone, you can also see what teammates in different positions are doing, and even three people can be online in the same car. I can't think of the meaning of this design, but it is obvious that the relationship between man and machine seems to be closer."

"The gasoline car I used to drive was just a means of transportation, but the new energy car can plan my life."

As night fell and the hustle and bustle of the city faded away, Lao Zhang sat in his new energy vehicle, lit a cigarette, and watched the neon lights flickering outside the window. The radio in the car played old songs, and he closed his eyes and let his thoughts drift away with the music. At this moment, he felt unprecedented relaxation and freedom.

Ten minutes later, the driverless system's prompt sounded, "Good evening, Mr. Zhang. You've worked hard today. Please fasten your seat belts, relax, and enjoy your journey home."
