this year, in hall 11 of the chengdu international auto show, the aion booth and the jiyue booth faced each other. regarding the propositions of intelligent driving solutions, the two companies are also "opposites".

jiyue claimed that "pure vision is better than lidar", while aion emphasized at the press conference that "at this stage, it is not good intelligent driving without lidar."

to be honest, the rapid iterative development of intelligent driving technology in recent years is not driven by urgent demand. it is not that humans can't drive or don't want to drive. behind this is a commercial competition and a competition of technological paths, whether it is getting rid of high-precision maps or doubting the value of lidar.

however, once the hardware cost is reduced, the requirements for software and computing power will be higher. in the short term, it is not certain that without lidar, the cost will be lower and the effect will be better. therefore, the cost of explaining this thing is quite high; and if you go deeper, it involves very cutting-edge and complex professional knowledge, which is difficult for the general public to understand. however, in the final analysis, whether the intelligent driving experience is good or not is still up to the driver.

in july, the aion tyrannosaurus was launched, and at that time, the [650 lidar version] was launched for 189,800 yuan. this time at the chengdu auto show, the [520 lidar version] was launched, priced at 169,800 yuan. according to the introduction of the manufacturer, they believe that the young consumer group has a strong and clear demand for intelligent driving functions, so they decided to lower the price - "if you buy a car for 160,000 yuan, look for lidar."

what is the overall quality of this car? first of all, the aion tyrannosaurus is actually the aion v that everyone is familiar with. it is a compact pure electric suv with a large space, so there is no need to worry about riding and loading.

in terms of configuration, the cltc pure electric range of the [520 lidar edition] is 520 kilometers, with 360° panoramic images, full-speed adaptive cruise control, mobile phone interconnection supporting carplay, hicar, carlink, four-zone voice wake-up, front seat ventilation and heating, etc., with all the common functions available. compared with the zhizun edition of 149,800 yuan, it lacks front-row mobile phone wireless charging, multi-color ambient lights, and front-row multi-layer soundproof glass.

advanced intelligent driving is the differentiated feature of the [520 lidar edition], so more costs are placed on intelligent sensing hardware, including 1 lidar, nvidia assisted driving chip, and more cameras and millimeter-wave radars.

in general, aion tyrannosaurus provides a wide range of choices in the 120,000-180,000 yuan range, which not only meets the needs of rigid consumers for large space and long battery life, but also seizes the technology track and provides an affordable smart driving version. as for whether more people can realize that aion is not just a simple online car-hailing company, but also a car company with technological strength, it depends on whether the c-end sales can be increased in the future.
