with the rapid development of intelligent connected cars, automobile intelligence will become the development focus of automobile companies for a long time in the future. among them, the intelligent car system plays an important role and is gradually favored by more and more consumers, and even becomes one of the necessary conditions for buying a car. not long ago, the 2024 beijing bj30 was officially launched. the new car is positioned as a compact suv. as a replacement product, its upgrade is comprehensive and fully caters to the preferences of young consumers today. in addition to the more intuitive hard-style design, from the perspective of use, what are the highlights of its intelligent car system? this issue of "intelligent car system evaluation" will conduct a comprehensive evaluation from two dimensions: system hardware and system software.

1. system hardware

1. hardware parameters

the 2024 beijing bj30 is equipped with a 14.6-inch floating central control screen. although it looks a bit grainy if you look closely, the overall look is acceptable. with the built-in qualcomm snapdragon 8155 chip, the system fluency is remarkable, and there was no obvious freeze during the actual test. the 10.25-inch full lcd instrument adopts an embedded design, the interface layout is clear and intuitive, and the display content on the right can also be adjusted. there is no problem with its practicality.

2. hardware evaluation

from actual measurements, the display brightness of this central control screen is quite good, but there will be slight reflections in dark mode, but fortunately it does not affect the overall look and feel of the screen. the solution is to increase the screen brightness or directly select the light mode, which can fundamentally solve the problem. the multi-function area of ​​the steering wheel adopts a roller + button design. although the button size is considerable, the pressing feel is too crisp and thin, and it does not seem solid enough. in addition, the "ring" buttons on both sides cannot be pressed, and need to be operated by turning the roller to both sides, and the operating logic needs to be adapted.

2. software system

1. software parameters

the 2024 beijing bj30 is equipped with the beijing os system. the system version number of the evaluation car is v1.0.0, not the latest v1.0.1, which is a bit regrettable. from the actual test, when the vehicle is unlocked, the central control screen and the lcd instrument will display a linked boot animation. the whole boot process is slow, but fortunately it does not affect daily use.

2. basic application evaluation

the layout of the interactive interface is very simple and pure, and the functional areas are arranged neatly. the overall look is vaguely like the "feature phones" of the early years. although the aesthetics are really average, there is really nothing wrong with it in terms of practicality. from actual testing, most of the functions can be found and completed on the secondary page, and the difficulty of getting started is very low. there is a column of virtual shortcut keys on the left side of the screen. this design is very clever, but it's a pity that there are not many applications that can be added. if there are more, the experience will be better.

the screen drop-down menu displays a lot of content, divided into several modules, including seat functions, sound/screen brightness adjustment, navigation, and notification center, etc. overall, the interface basically covers the functions that are frequently used in daily life. it seems a bit complicated, but it is actually arranged in an orderly manner. after a little familiarity, you will feel it is very easy to use.

the evaluation car is equipped with 360-degree panoramic images and supports multi-angle display. from actual measurements, the image quality is acceptable under the condition of sufficient sunlight during the day. the main problem is that the graininess is strong, so it does not look delicate enough. fortunately, the distortion is not obvious, which is worthy of recognition. in addition, there are also movable reversing auxiliary lines in the image screen, which can provide reference for the driver and are very practical.

it is worth mentioning that the 2024 beijing bj30 is also equipped with intelligent scene mode, which presets options including sports ride, comfortable music and fatigue assistant. in addition, users can also create custom modes according to their personal preferences, and can make detailed settings for windows, air conditioning, seats, etc. although this function is not used frequently, in certain specific scenarios, the immersive experience is really good and is a plus.

3. map navigation evaluation

the 2024 beijing bj30 is equipped with autonavi maps. the interface layout is relatively traditional, with the search bar located in the upper left corner and supporting multiple input methods. after determining the destination, the system will provide three options: wide roads, less congested roads, and alternative routes. based on the internet of vehicles, the navigation system can also display route congestion, which is very intuitive.

in addition to the conventional preset destinations and commonly used quick destination selections, the navigation system also has route preferences, search along the way, team building, and itinerary sharing functions. objectively speaking, the autonavi maps installed in most car models are highly similar, including operating logic and functions. after all, as a "super app" in the field of navigation, there is really no need to worry about its practical performance.

4. audio and video entertainment evaluation

the car system has a built-in app store, which has a large number of third-party apps. however, during the actual test, it was found that perhaps due to network problems, the pictures and icons in the app store were not displayed correctly. overall, the interface layout is clear and intuitive, and there is a search bar on the top right, which is satisfactory in practicality.

in the multimedia section, there are a lot of audio sources to choose from, and both fm and am radio are also available. the radio can be turned on or off through the voice system, which is convenient for daily use. the radio interface is clear and reasonable, and very intuitive. in the radio station list, click the "heart" to save it directly to the favorites, which is convenient for later search.

the evaluation car is equipped with 10 speakers, and the sound effect settings are quite rich. in addition to the conventional equalizer, you can also choose surround sound, including natural, club, live, etc. since it is not a brand audio and the number of speakers is small, the actual performance can only be regarded as satisfactory.

5. in-car internet evaluation

in terms of in-car connectivity, the test car is equipped with car networking, which supports fota upgrades, wi-fi hotspots, and mobile phone app remote functions. from actual measurements, the search and connection speed of mobile phone bluetooth is satisfactory, and the user experience is quite good. in addition to huawei hicar and the original factory connectivity, the system's built-in yilian mobile phone connectivity is also very easy to use, supporting both android and apple phones.

6. intelligent interactive evaluation

in terms of voice interaction, the evaluation car supports voice wake-up recognition by area, no wake-up word, continuous voice recognition, and visible and speaking, which can fully meet the needs of daily use. from the actual test, this voice system can execute commands relatively quickly and accurately. in addition, users can also customize the wake-up word to meet personalized needs. the broadcast sound provides a variety of options, including gentle female voice, sweet female voice and mature male voice.

in addition, we also conducted actual tests on the recognition of fuzzy semantics of the voice system equipped in the 2024 beijing bj30, using four commands: "i'm a little hungry", "i'm a little tired", "i'm not feeling well" and "i'm a little thirsty" to interact with the car computer.

after actual testing, it was found that when you say "i'm a little hungry", the system will search for nearby restaurants; if you say "i'm not feeling well" to the car computer, the system will search for nearby hospitals. as for the other two commands, the system cannot recognize them and give meaningful feedback, and there is still room for improvement.

summarize:

from the actual test, the overall performance of beijing os equipped in the 2024 beijing bj30 is worthy of recognition. although the interface is generally beautiful, there are no obvious slots in terms of functionality and operation logic. admittedly, based on the powerful computing power support of qualcomm snapdragon 8155 chip, the system fluency is very good, but if the screen quality can be improved, the overall interactive experience will definitely be better. it is also a pity that the evaluation car has not updated the v1.0.1 system version, so it has not been able to "taste the new features". officials said that the new version mainly optimizes the motor control system, improves the power retention capacity of the power battery and the battery, and also optimizes the power-on and power-off logic to improve fluency.
