On November 20th, the 376th batch of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Production Enterprises and Products” officially released the previously announced U-shaped steering wheel upgrade plan for the Extreme 01. The release of this announcement means that the U-shaped steering wheel, which was previously showcased alongside the 35.6-inch screen on the Extreme 01 concept car, has now been approved and can be offered as an optional upgrade when selling mass-produced vehicles.
At this point, the U-shaped steering wheel and 3D seamless integrated large screen of the JueYue 01 can finally provide users with a more pure intelligent interaction experience with the car robot. In order to reward users, JueYue announced that it will provide free replacement of the U-shaped steering wheel for users who lock in their orders for 2023, and users can also freely choose between a circular or U-shaped steering wheel. The compliance of the U-shaped steering wheel is of great significance to the user experience, and the unique physical design leaves the 35.6-inch 3D seamless integrated large screen unobstructed. Through the adaptation of an exclusive UI interface, users can have a broader interactive field of vision, giving car passengers a more immersive cabin experience.
The U-shaped steering wheel of the Geely Xingyue 01 supports steering wheel greeting. When the user gets on and off the car, the steering wheel can automatically lift up to the front position to create the maximum space, coordinating with the seat movement to create the most comfortable getting on and off experience for the user; The steering wheel position memory supports personalized settings for different accounts, meeting the different driving habits of family members.
The U-shaped steering wheel carried by the Polestar 01 supports electric adjustment, three-stage heating, steering wheel position memory, and capacitive hands-off detection safety functions, among other intelligent features, to comprehensively enhance the user’s driving experience.
Geely has always taken “freedom of movement, natural communication, and self-growth” as the core product concept of its car robots. The U-shaped steering wheel further demonstrates Geely’s deep understanding of intelligent interaction with car robots. Its design highlights the display of information from the digital world behind the large screen, making the communication between humans and car robots more natural and smooth. Xia Yiping, CEO of Geely and Jidu, believes: “Geely takes the end as the beginning to create high-end intelligent car robots, and uses robot aesthetics to design car robots. In the future, the design of intelligent cars in the next ten years will all have the shadow of Geely.”
