What Does “GOD” Mean in Autonomous Driving?
In the field of autonomous driving for new energy vehicles, obstacle detection is a fundamental topic. But within this area, there’s a more advanced subfield — General Obstacle Detection (GOD). In this article, we’ll dive deep into what GOD means, how it works, and why it plays such a critical role in ensuring safety in autonomous vehicles.
Why Do EV Batteries Seem to Lose Their Stamina in Winter?
With the rise of new energy vehicles, many owners face the same winter dilemma — their range drops significantly and charging becomes less efficient. What you might easily cover in summer suddenly demands frequent “refuel” planning when winter hits. Why does temperature and season impact the battery’s “range power” so drastically? What deeper effects is cold having on the battery?
New Arrival: Mercedes-Benz CLA EV Officially Launched
The highly anticipated Mercedes-Benz CLA EV has officially hit the market. The brand unveiled two regular trims and one limited Champion Edition, with an official price range of 249,000 to 285,600 RMB. Built on Mercedes’ native electric platform, including an 800V high-voltage electrical system, an 866 km ultra-long range, a two-speed gearbox, the Qualcomm 8295 chip, and intelligent navigation assistance for both city and highway driving. Let’s take a closer look at this stunning new model.
What Do 4C, 5C, and 10C Charging Mean for New Energy Vehicles?
As Chinese new energy vehicles (NEVs) dominate global markets, the key question for consumers has shifted from “How far can it go?” to “How fast can it charge?” When automakers boast about 4C, 5C, or even 10C ultra-fast charging, what do these terms really mean? Let’s dive into the fundamentals, current status, and future of EV fast-charging technology.
New Car Launch: Denza N8L Officially Hits the Market from RMB 299,800
On October 28, Denza introduced its brand-new N8L, a “large six-seater luxury family SUV,” launching two models starting at RMB 299,800. The N8L is positioned as a premium SUV emphasizing super safety, luxury comfort, and advanced intelligence, directly targeting the 300,000 RMB large six-seat SUV segment.
Zeekr 9X / Voyah Taishan / Dreamme SUV: “The Chinese Cullinan” — An Intense Luxury SUV Battle Ahead!
The Chinese automotive market has once again entered a golden season of excitement this October. On September 29, Zeekr officially launched its all-new flagship SUV — the Zeekr 9X, affectionately dubbed the “Hangzhou Cullinan.” Just a week before that, the Voyah Taishan, nicknamed the “Wuhan Cullinan,” made its debut, targeting the premium luxury SUV segment. Let’s take a closer look at these dazzling contenders in China’s “Cullinan” lineup.
Are Joint-Venture Brands Returning with Transmissions — And Will They Lead a New Trend in EV Development?
In recent years, automakers and parts suppliers have renewed interest in the feasibility of multi-speed gearboxes in EVs. That some high-performance EVs have begun adopting two-speed (or more) transmissions — for example, Porsche Taycan’s two-speed drive, Audi e-tron GT’s dual-speed layout, and Lotus Eletre’s attempts with transmissions in its top versions. In China, there have also been reports that this route is being used by joint-venture brands as a breakthrough to “return to the E
Is Heating a Major Challenge for Electric Vehicles in Winter?
In the era of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, heating in winter was almost taken for granted. But for all-electric vehicles (BEVs / EVs), the situation is completely different: they must actively consume electrical energy to generate heat. As winter approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, this heating issue is increasingly a concern for new energy vehicle owners. Below we start from the principles and gradually dive deeper.
What’s the Difference Between L3 and L2 Autonomous Driving? Which Cars Will Feature L3?
As the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry continues to surge, discussions and debates around autonomous driving technology have never stopped. In 2025, the competition to achieve L3-level autonomous driving has officially begun. We’ve talked before about the classification of autonomous driving levels—but what exactly makes L3 so special? Let’s take a closer look at the key features and upcoming models equipped with L3 autonomous driving.
How Do Autonomous Vehicles Handle Sudden “Hidden Pedestrian” Scenarios?
With the rapid development of intelligent automotive technology, autonomous driving has become a key selling point for new energy vehicles. However, one of the trickiest real-world challenges for self-driving systems is handling sudden emergencies like the so-called “hidden pedestrian” scenario — when a pedestrian, cyclist, or other object suddenly emerges from a blind spot into the driving path. How exactly does an autonomous car deal with such edge cases?
