In our usual live broadcasts, the most common questions asked by many netizens when choosing a car are no more than four: Does it look good? Is it safe? Will it save fuel? Isn’t it cheap?

It must be mentioned here that Wuling Xingchen won the "2021 China's Top Ten Car Body" award selection excellent performance. After multiple reviews, Wuling Xingchen has won the recognition of authoritative experts for its comprehensive strength such as oriental aesthetic appearance, class-leading space design, five-star safety architecture, and application of high-strength steel materials.
At the same time, Wuling Xingchen follows the mature manufacturing process of "big brother" Wuling Capgemini in terms of material application. The entire vehicle is mainly made of high-strength steel, accounting for more than 64.7% . Ultra-high-strength steel and thermoformed materials are used in important parts. The proportion of thermoformed parts is 14.1%, which is the largest amount for SUVs in the same price range.
From this point of view, Wuling Xingchen is indeed"can fight".
Independent brands have unique insights into how to play the in-vehicle interconnection system. But because I am a die-hard fan of mechanical buttons, I don’t rely much on the in-car internet system. I just listen to music and read maps. It’s not because I don’t like using it, but because I encounter Most of the so-called "artificial intelligence" in-vehicle interconnection systems are "artificially retarded".
Take the speech recognition function as an example. I can’t understand what I’m saying, and the response is slow when I understand it. I can use the mechanical buttons to complete at least two operations at this time, so I think the in-vehicle interconnection system that everyone needs must maintain a high degree of tacit understanding with users.
The emergence of Ling OS’s open intelligent ecosystem makes me curious. At this year's Wuling Brand Night, I was quite skeptical when I first heard that this system could recognize ten different voice commands at the same time. It wasn't until I got a test drive to experience it for myself that I was completely convinced.
Xingchen is equipped with the world's first real-time rendering car assistant - Xiaowu & Xiaoling. The official has created a set of games around Xiaowu & Xiaoling The system can achieve continuous speaking and multiple commands in a single sentence without waking up.
Creating personalized IP for voice assistants is what many new car-making brands do. This can not only make the voice assistant come alive instead of being a cold robot, thereby shortening the distance between the user and the voice assistant, but also provide fun for children and reduce the boredom of riding in the car. Of course, this method can also enhance the youthful tone of the brand in details.
At the same time, this system can also achieve full-siteJing Mobile's smart car control allows you to find your car, open the sunroof, remotely start it, and monitor vehicle information in real time through your mobile phone's Bluetooth key, which can provide a lot of convenience for everyone in their daily use of the car. In the future, Ling OS will cover all SAIC-GM Wuling models, as well as more mobile terminals.

Ling OS Lingxi open intelligent ecosystemis self-developed by SAIC-GM-Wuling, which integrates the resources of PATEO, SPEED, iFlytek and other companies. With the assistance of these top teams in the industry, its value and reliability are ensured.
The purpose of using the Lingxi system is: I always want to have more tacit understanding with you. This sentence is very meaningful. Traditional cars now emphasize voice communication and mobile phone interconnection, while multi-point tacit understanding is more spiritual, representing an attitude that allows for deeper communication.
Today, the relationship between people and cars is no longer that between drivers and transportation tools in the past. In a single relationship, life-related relationships are added between people and cars. A car suitable for modern families should have the ability to serve the family in all aspects and at all times. The car is no longer a car, but a member of the family.
Looking at the market, today’s car buyers are getting younger and younger. Young people have stronger demands for intelligent multimedia systems and are eager for their own cars. Ability to be more emotional and intelligent.
Recently, Wuling teamed up with NetEase Cloud Music in Shanghai Wuling Global Brand CenterLING HOUSE, jointly held the "Ling OS Super Sensory Concert", marking the industry's first deeply customized strategic cooperation at the system level. This concert is also the Wuling Ling OS Lingxi system’s first gathering with users after the OTA upgrade. It is the first time that LING family systems are interoperable, the first online live broadcast through the LING Club platform, and the first cross-border linkage with LING HOUSE.
And, through this OTA upgrade , the speech recognition technology of voice assistants Xiaowu & Xiaoling has been further optimized, and the response speed of 0.8 seconds is leading in its class. Secondly, the Ling OS system wake-up time is only 2.7 seconds; GPS cold start positioning is accelerated to 7 seconds; the system startup speed is optimized to 28 seconds.
Looking at the current automobile market, the OTA upgrade of the in-vehicle interconnection system is very important for new car manufacturers. This is nothing new for enterprises, but for traditional car brands, this is still an area of innovation worth exploring. Even most joint venture car companies are still unable to realize this function, and Wuling Xingchen is at the forefront of the team.
Let’s look at the user level. Today's consumers have long been accustomed to the rapid changes in the "Internet +" era. Everyone has higher and higher requirements forvehicle interconnection systems. An easy-to-use car The Internet system will affect the car purchasing choices of some young consumers.
Take our commonly used mobile phones as an example. Sometimes the version update will make people want to upgrade. The surprise of mobile phones. Although the OTA upgrade of the in-vehicle interconnection system will not make users feel like buying a new car, everyone can still feel the sense of surprise.
In such a general environment, SAIC-GM-Wuling launched an OTA upgrade of the Ling OS system, which is also in line with current market demand.
