Taking my word, I heard the air conditioner in the living room "drip" to switch to silent mode, the balcony curtain automatically closed, the projection curtain on the TV wall slowly lowered, and the ceiling lamp gradually went out, leaving only a warm light band. When snacks and fruits are placed on the coffee table, people sit on the sofa, and MGM lions are reflected on the curtains.

Voice control function is not uncommon in life. Siri and smart speakers are very common. My neighbor's 7-year-old child has been able to speak fluently with smart speakers and can even control the speakers to solve math problems. Only one sentence is needed above, and all the objects in the living room are linked together, eliminating the tedious operation one by one. Such advanced intelligent life still looks like a science fiction movie to me.

This is Jun's home. According to him, all the switches and home appliances in the home have been networked and voice control has been realized. Jun A is a famous tech hipster in the circle of friends. He is also an AI (artificial intelligence) engineer, so anyone who buys advanced toys such as smart home appliances will always ask him for advice. I will make up the lesson of smart technology.

In Ajun's view, AI intelligent technology has already penetrated into our lives, and face recognition technology is widely used in mobile phone unlocking, high-speed rail travel and mobile payment; When it comes to my mouth, I even just think that shopping apps and web advertisements are recommended, which is also the combination of intelligent algorithms and big data.

Young hipsters like Xiaojun naturally need to be trendy and smart enough to match when they choose cars. I immediately thought of a suitable choice-2021? Changan Ford Focus. The new car is equipped with SYNC? +Zhixing infotainment system, combined with Baidu AI technology, can realize four functions of entertainment, intelligent navigation, communication and vehicle temperature control through voice.

▲165438+1On October 20th, 202 1 Fox family went public. The price of sedan and hatchback models is10.88-150,800 yuan, the price of Fox Active is139,800 yuan, and the price of Fox Hunting Edition is 15.38 yuan.

The speech recognition rate is as high as 98%. Fox can talk and never does it.

Intelligent technology is certainly very trendy, but whether it is trendy or not, is it important to choose the functions of cars and vehicles first?

It is true that cars are first used as means of transportation, but cars are not only used as means of transportation. Imagine if eating is just to satisfy hunger, and there is no difference between Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, spicy and sweet, main course and dim sum, wouldn't it be less delicious? If dressing is just a cover, then there are only two choices: school uniform and work clothes. What's the fun of shopping without dazzling clothes?

Modern people want smarter cars and pursue a richer car experience, which is just needed.

If eating and dressing is just to satisfy hunger, I'm afraid the streets of China in 2020 will be like those in the 1980s. Do you think the picture above is monotonous?

Want to listen to music while driving? Even if the scenery changes and the mood is different, do you want different music to match it A sentence "Hello, Ford, I want to listen to so-and-so music" can solve the problem-rap, pop music, classic old songs, slow-paced piano music and so on. There are many kinds of music, and it is dangerous and illegal to cut songs with your mobile phone while driving.

Navigation no longer needs to manually fiddle with the central control screen for a long time, and saying "Hello, Ford, I'm going somewhere" also saves a lot of effort. Synchronization? +Zhixing infotainment system adopts Baidu intelligent navigation, which can support destination fuzzy search, 3D route guidance, real-time road condition query and personalized voice broadcast.

Synchronization? +Zhixing infotainment system can also make calls and adjust the vehicle temperature through voice control, which frees drivers from driving and operation. Voice control is convenient and safe. Synchronization? +Zhixing infotainment system can also chat with you and tell jokes. Its speech recognition rate is as high as 98%, just like real people talking.

Two other things impressed me deeply. One is SYNC? +Zhixing infotainment system supports wakeup-free voice commands. For example, when listening to QQ music, you only need to say the command of "pause playing and continue playing" to realize the operation, which is more convenient than similar systems that generally have to wake up; Second, at present, this system has supported the recommendation of smart restaurants.

More fashionable and understand the hearts of young car owners.

The voice control and smart home mentioned above have more positive significance for the disabled. With this technical blessing, the visually impaired can reduce the activity restrictions caused by visual impairment as much as possible, and even help the visually impaired and blind groups to quickly obtain all kinds of text information, which can greatly reduce the burden on relatives and friends, and the quality of life of the visually impaired will also be significantly improved.

The picture shows the intelligent character recognition glasses designed by a company, which can read newspapers, books, billboards and so on.

As an AI engineer, A Jun's ambition doesn't stop there. He believes that with the advent of the 5G era, the Internet of Things continues to develop and AI technology is more mature, which will surely bring high-quality development of telemedicine and distance education and take care of the different needs of more people. In the future, "disabled people" can enjoy a high-quality life like you and me, and even the word "disabled people" will disappear.

Jun A said that he likes the robot T-800 from the future in Terminator. Schwarzenegger's intelligent robot started with the goal of harming human beings, but later it became the best partner of human beings. A Jun believes that the common external performance of AI intelligent technology is to imitate people, and the technical core is wrapped inside, in order to better serve people. Accordingly, he also named the smart terminal at home "T-800".

Facts have proved that hipsters are not unconventional. They are just ahead of the times, dare to embrace new technologies and pursue the ultimate in what they think is right. Therefore, they have become the trend leaders in everyone's eyes. No wonder contemporary young people are happy to be hipsters. Many people only recognize the first level and think that they have personality and attitude. Perhaps there is a deeper reason, that is, everyone has the heart to pursue the ultimate.

These young people who follow the trend and have the ambition to benefit everyone with technology should not choose LaVida and Sylphy, which are too conventional and have no special features. Generally speaking, family cars are for ordinary people, while hipsters are contemporary young people who follow the trend and want to be top-notch everywhere. Naturally, they should choose unusual cars and those that are smarter and have more extreme characteristics.

For hipsters, choosing a more fashionable and extreme car should also be just needed.

202 1 focus, that is, "saying something but not doing it", is an extremely clever choice. In addition to the entry-level models, the whole system is "quasi-standard" SYNC? +Zhixing infotainment system, the size of the center console 12.3-inch touch screen is also ahead of the same level; The new car has been equipped with B&; O Luxurious audio system+10 speakers, allowing people to enjoy cinema-class sound effects in the car.

Ford co-pilot 360? Zhixing driving assistance system integrates many intelligent driving assistance functions, and has achieved L2 automatic driving. Imagine that the car can stop and run smoothly and quickly within the range of 0- 180 km/h by just touching the steering wheel. Isn't this kind of journey comfortable and safe?

Providing the ultimate driving pleasure is the consistent feature of Fox.

Lightweight suspension system, Michelin PS4 track tires, needless to say, 202 1 Focus comes standard with TVC intelligent torque distribution system, which can continuously transmit the torque between the front wheels when turning, which helps the car body to better grasp the ground, and secondly, the direction control is more accurate, which helps you enjoy the fun of splitting.

Coupled with stronger body rigidity and larger brake discs, the new car can stop at100-0km/h only in 36.63m, which is not only better than the golf GTI's 39.15m, but also better than the Honda Civic's 38.80m and even better than the Cadillac CT4. No wonder people who know cars say that the 2026.5438 million +0 Focus is a track-level chassis adjustment.

In the CCPC China production car performance competition, which only production cars can participate in, Fox won the annual championship of CCPC compact car group in 2020; At the ——CTCC, the highest-level event in China, China Touring Car Championship, Fox won nine championships with a score of 13, which is undoubtedly the king, and even showed Ford's control genes tempered on the track for 60 years to the fullest.

Twenty-two years ago, he founded the Fox family "one door, three masters"

To say that this intelligent interconnection system is not new now, most new cars on the market are equipped with it. Fortunately, Fox has done a good job in music navigation and other high-frequency functions, and even recommended low-frequency functions such as restaurants. Just like a dish, except the main ingredient, even the auxiliary materials are used well. Even if not everyone can eat it, it can be "just what hipsters want".

More and more new cars emphasize control and flaunt themselves as "small steel guns". 20,265,438,000 +0 Fox has the power to lead the same level, track-level chassis adjustment, and Ford's 60-year manipulation gene accumulation. What's more, when the first generation of Fox appeared in 1998, it already relied on pioneer design (new? Edge new wingerism) and advanced sports concept (SLA? Control? Blade independent rear suspension system has successfully shaped the image of sports mid-level car.

First generation Focus CW170 (1998-2003)

The Fox hatchback version of the second generation Fox C307 entered the China market in 2006. With its sports positioning and all-around skills, this car quickly became an explosion, and it was deeply imprinted in the hearts of China users-Focus = sports mid-level car; The third-generation Focus C346 adopted the sport model commonly known as "Martin Face" after the mid-term change, and its monthly sales in China market once exceeded 20,000.

Now the fourth generation Focus C5 19 has been listed. The fourth generation model has always been the favorite A-class sports car for young people, and its global cumulative sales have exceeded130,000. The latest 202 1 Focus is still the benchmark for mid-level cars, and now it has added a new label of extreme intelligence.

I have another discovery. Synchronization? +The UI design colors of Zhixing infotainment system are mostly plain blue, gray and black. The menu logic is not seriously damaged, and the displayed information is not messy at all, which is very easy to use. This is really something that even the most critical people can't find. I tried too many cars to promote them, but this was not the case when I used them. This experience is actually the ultimate embodiment.

202 1 Fox brings another extreme experience to the China market-Fox Hunting Edition.

"Crock (transliteration from the English name of Wagon) is not acclimatized in China. I'd rather buy an SUV. "This is the first reaction of many people when they see the station wagon enter the China market.

That's true, but you must not be a hipster. Hipsters are people who are at the forefront of the trend and pursue the ultimate. Although these people are few, their needs are not important. Don't they need to be satisfied?

How much does it cost for car companies to introduce station wagons into China? This is a matter for car companies. For hipsters, meeting my extreme needs is the most important thing. This is the difference between hipsters and ordinary people, and it is also the difference between Changan Ford and ordinary car companies.

In order to meet the extreme demand of China hipsters, the fox hunting version launched by Changan Ford is different from the ordinary crock. The ground clearance of Fox Hunting Edition is 165 mm, which has exceeded the 152 mm of Popular Song Exploration. Fox Hunting Edition has five driving modes, especially in rough road mode. ESC traction control system can prevent wheel slip and help vehicles get out of trouble more easily.

The fox hunting version also retains the "big belly" feature of the crock. In the fully loaded state, the trunk volume is 575L L L. When the second row of seats is laid down, the trunk volume can be expanded to 1620L, which is equivalent to nearly 50 boarding boxes. What's more worth mentioning is that the Fox Hunting Edition also has the original roof rack, which can further expand the storage capacity.

The hunting version is also equipped with "high performance CP"1.5t+8at, with racing chassis adjustment and support for SYNC? +Zhixing infotainment system.

The hunting version has a unique flavor, Active is wild with SUV, the sedan version is closer to the family car, and the hatchback version is much more fashionable. The Fox family provides the China market with the richest choice of medium-sized cars.

I think it is natural to have this result, because Ford's slogan means "endless progress", but it does not mean pursuing the ultimate.

Editor's Note: On the one hand, Brilliance Group, which was once in the limelight, went bankrupt, and on the other hand, it was a valuation bubble visible to the naked eye by the new forces that built cars. Some people may get lost. Where will the future go?

No matter where the future goes, the ultimate idea has a market, which Changan Ford can see clearly. From Changan Ford SUV family headed by Ming Rui and explorers to Fox family, Changan Ford listened to the voice of China market and accelerated the launch of new products. On June 5,438+0-11in 2020, the SUV family of Changan Ford increased by nearly 70% year-on-year, and the Fox family achieved double growth year-on-year, with a year-on-year increase of 4% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 5%. The retail sales of Changan Ford111car in October was 2029 1 car, up nearly 30% year-on-year. This is the second consecutive month that Changan Ford has sold more than 20,000 vehicles.

Confusion is that there is no basis. Ford has successfully persisted for one hundred years, and should continue to insist on "endless progress".
