From the fuel era to the new energy era, cars have made significant progress in intelligence, especially the new power brands, which have a more prominent performance in this area, and this situation is not related to the price of the vehicle.

It just so happens that the BYD Song PLUS and Leapmotor C11 are products with close price points, so the comparison between the two can reflect some of the differences in intelligence between traditional car companies and new forces.

When it comes to intelligence, the first thing that comes to mind is that nowadays the car is full of big screens replacing the physical buttons of the past. For users who were used to using physical buttons and driving their own cars, it is natural that they will not be accustomed to the time when they first get used to the intelligent car machine and the Smart Driving function, but after using it more, they will be able to understand how much these help them to use the car.

For example, the voice control function, in traffic jams and other scenes that require focused driving, want to modify the navigation destination, or adjust the temperature of the air conditioning, etc., can be directly operated by voice, to achieve the "eyes do not leave the road, hands do not leave the disk". There is also automatic parking function, for the parking painters face those position tricky parking space, do not help too much, lest they go back and forth half a day, did not park not to mention, but also blocked the way of others. Because of this, the strength of the intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving performance, it has become a lot of people to buy a car is concerned about one of the key points.

The sensing hardware of the Leapmotor C11, contains 9 exterior cameras, 1 interior camera, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 3 millimeter wave radars with a binocular front camera. The sensing hardware of the Song PLUS, on the other hand, is 6 exterior cameras, 6 ultrasonic radars, 2 millimeter wave radars, and a monocular front camera.

Obviously the hardware base of the Leapmotor C11 is superior to the Song PLUS, with more sensory hardware to cover the body around, the better the detection of the surrounding environment naturally. The corresponding intelligent driving functions, especially the AEB automatic emergency braking system, the higher the upper limit of work.

Referring to actual driving scenarios, for example, the driver is distracted for some reasons and does not notice the obstacle in front of him, and a collision is about to happen. In this case, the stronger the vehicle's sensing hardware, the earlier the obstacle can be detected, the earlier the AEB can be activated, and the higher the speed at which it can successfully brake, preventing the collision more effectively.

Looking at every aspect of the Leapmotor C11's product performance, it's basically better than the Song PLUS, but that doesn't mean the Song PLUS is bad. BYD, as a new-energy giant, naturally treats its models as benchmarks.
