October 16 morning, a large and Xiaopeng Wei to owners in their own APP, micro-channel group in response, the car appeared off network phenomenon. This “off network” problem with our phone off the network appeared similar, that is, the normal driving the car, but the car-dependent network system of online music, like real-time navigation function can not be used properly.
Think before Tesla APP open event, people can not help but wonder, forgot to renew such a thing is not a phenomenon of human transmission has occurred. However, Wei to Xiaopeng and rapid response, the problem was identified by China Mobile things caused card network failure, the victim was subsequently found also calls the same installed Laid things charging post card.
off the net impact of this event on the owners vary, some owners said, the car can not display real-time navigation, music can not be played online, it is senseless. But we are all 4G old players, mobile phones open hotspots, Bluetooth arrangements can solve the problem. However, some owners said did not notice, watching the group of friends discuss belatedly discovered off the network morning.
▲ shots from car Xiaopeng official APP
friends do not have a smart car owners can understand, it is basically up in the morning and not a mobile phone traffic feel. If like me like to touch on the subway all the way out to see a kindle, it is estimated that the company will not find the phone network; the brush microblogging If you like vibrato on the subway, it is estimated on the spot the whole family greeting operators.
Xiaopeng based on feedback from owners, their car is not only enjoy the music, navigation and other functions, the remote control can not be used. Plainly these features are “icing on the cake” features a big deal out of cell phone navigation scolded two songs, too, remote control Well, after all, is a new thing in recent years, it can not be accepted.
but Wei to the owner is more luck, one of the key selling points of their car, changing the electrical function is affected, APP can not view information reserved for power plants of.
According to other media reports that the owner Xiaopeng, the owner of the respondents seat memory function is affected, need to manually adjust the seat position. Presumably becauseXiaopeng’s seat memory data directly stored in the cloud, caused no local backup. In other words, you do not know what function the automobile manufacturers rely on networking in the car body, think again, and Xiao-Peng Wei to push the NOP and soon NGP, these two core networking functions are dependent on the car in real time to calculate it?
■ state review
In fact, the sort of off network, also reflects a problem, intelligent automobiles and users should remain vigilant, not to be Internet abducted. The incident, automatic driver assistance function can still be used as usual, it depends on the automatic driver assistance function of each vehicle is currently one island, in short, this is their own probe, to calculate their own stand-alone game. But in the future, even after V2X autopilot popularity, it is to be upgraded into a full-line of large online games, each vehicle to communicate and collaborate with other cars, lights, traffic on the road network, etc., if the disconnection is tantamount to online server collapse, and this time the car how to do it? How should we do it?
For the user, such as a thorn in the side just off the net, very uncomfortable, but you really can not do anything, can not personally pick up the right tool to repair network. Can do to check the front of the car, flat state of mind, just off a network, a dozen years ago, also without a car is not so over the networking thing, to carry forward the spirit of the taxi driver’s radio sounds, chatted up by brain to find their way. The manufacturers and operators, please be sure to pay attention to these issues, car manufacturers should be introduced effective monitoring, notification and redress mechanisms; and operators Well, after all, people Dad, this stuff is hardware metaphysics, can only hope that they are nothing more than engineers pray, do not go wrong; anything goes wrong and can find ways to convey down, avoid downstream industries caught it.
then go through the broken network event, you’re smart car and Telematics have any views, please share with us in the comments section oh.
