To ensure product delivery in 2023, this robot car has been tested in winter in Heihe, Hailar, Shenyang, and Harbin to carry out extreme cold engineering testing and verification, and it can also support smart cockpit 3D interaction in an environment with temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees .

This test verifies the vehicle performance of the robot car in an extreme cold environment, such as its vehicle thermal management capability, high cold durability, three-electric system performance, and intelligent software and hardware functions. 

Since Dec 2022, Jidu Robot Car has conducted an "extreme cold test". 

In an environment with temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees, it lasted more than 70 days, and tested for over 369 items, driving a cumulative 55,000 kilometers and a cumulative test duration of more than 3,660 hours.

During the test, the R&D and application of "black technology" ensured the driving stability and dynamic performance of ROBO-01. 

Thanks to its vehicle thermal management system and BMS refined battery management, when the battery is in a low-temperature environment, the vehicle can automatically turn on intelligent heating to ensure the cruising range. 

Equipped with the Qualcomm 8295 smart cabin chip, the world's first 5nm process car-grade chip, the vehicle can also support smart cockpit 3D interaction in extremely cold environments.

The voice response speed of the terminal is within 700ms, which ensures fluent “communication" in the ice and snow. When the door needs to be opened, the door can be opened automatically through voice control inside and outside the car.
