Recyclable plastic bottles turn into seats? The "first show" of this Polaris amulet is unusual!

Speaking of the appearance of the future car, we have to look at the pure electric concept car-Polaris amulet, which recently ushered in the world's first show.

As the third model of Polar Star, a high-performance electric vehicle brand jointly built by Volvo Cars and Geely Holding Group, Polar Star Precept is positioned in a four-door GT sedan. Its arrival will be related to Polestar, a subsidiary of Polaris? 1 model and Polestar? The two models form a richer product matrix, ranging from sports cars to compact cars to 4-door GT cars.

According to the official, the Polaris amulet will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Before that, let's take a look at this new work called "Tesla model3 Enemy" by the industry. What are the highlights?

Simple Nordic design

As a brand of Nordic descent, the design of Polaris has always been Scandinavian. At Polaris? Words and deeds, whether it is the abstract lines of Raytheon's hammer headlights or the outline of the body waistline, are similar to the existing products Polestar 1 and Polestar? The continuity is good, but there are some new elements.

For example, the air intake grille partially cancelled on the front face has become the Polaris SmartZone, and the driving assistance function is realized by integrating sensors. A deflector is designed at the upper engine room cover to accelerate the flow of air on the engine room cover, which can make the air flow through the engine room cover faster and effectively improve the cruising range. The application of electronic rearview mirror also optimizes the wind resistance of the car body.

On the tail side, the Polaris amulet is also full of attractions. The headlights adopt a simple design style throughout, and the line turns very simply. Minimalist design style and sense of technology coexist.

Of course, the design style of Polaris amulet is still a little radical compared with the current production car, which may deviate from the public aesthetic. However, for a concept car, this definitely reflects the design ability and continuity of the brand.

Application of environmental protection materials

On the issue of environmental protection, Polaris and Volvo maintain a high degree of consistency. The material selection of Polaris amulet runs through the whole product chain and life cycle.

In the choice of interior materials, Polar Star Precept reduces the weight by 50% and the plastic consumption by 80% compared with the traditional interior. The fiber used in the seat comes from recyclable PET plastic bottles, the lining and headrest are made of recyclable cork fibers, and the carpet comes from recyclable fishing nets.

Originally only used for high-end clothing and sports shoes, 3D flying line technology has also been applied to seats. In this way, the fabric is customized according to the shape of the seat, which eliminates the generation of scraps and makes the material utilization rate reach 100%.

From the direct impression of product drawings, the interior of Polaris amulet is not cheap because of the change of material, but reflects the sense of science and technology with a brand-new style. This style, in Polaris's view, is an "uncompromising luxury" different from traditional luxury goods. Such a change must be a trend for a large-scale industrial product such as automobile, which integrates various materials.

Future human-computer interaction

In the interior, the Polaris amulet has a more futuristic human-computer interaction function. For example, on the central control panel, the Polaris amulet integrates a large number of sensors, which can realize the user's line of sight tracking and the capture of hand movements. When the user raises his hand or focuses on a certain point on the screen, the screen will automatically light up and enlarge the corresponding content, which is convenient for the user to operate.

In addition, the application of eye-tracking technology can also effectively ensure the user's concentration on driving safety. Once the fatigue or distraction of the user is detected, the vehicle will remind the user until it slows down and stops. By tracking the user's line of sight, the vehicle can also automatically match the driving style, and combine the driving assistance function information with the real-time map for data fusion, thus realizing the full scene navigation experience of the segmented road.

In addition, the deep binding with Google makes Polaris have a good guarantee in the ecological expansion ability of the car. Stability, security and scalability are all worth looking forward to.

Combination of Autopilot Sensor and Design

Automatic driving is an unavoidable proposition for smart cars. How to integrate the sensor with automatic driving function with the car body to realize the perfect combination of function and beauty? Polaris proverbs give the perfect answer.

Through faceless design, Polar Star Precept integrates two radar sensors and a high-definition camera on Polar Star SmartZone, and designs it into a beautiful transparent smart panel, which is ready for the upgrade of active safety technology and automatic driving assistance technology. In addition, the laser radar integrated above the glass roof will also provide support for the future autopilot assistance system.

From the words and deeds of Polaris, we can find that the application of autopilot sensors in the car body will become more and more difficult to detect with the decreasing volume of various sensors. More models will integrate the sensor into the body beautifully through design. For OEMs, it is very important to keep this design "cleanliness".

Red dot annotation

Through design, environmental protection, human-computer interaction, automatic driving and other technical points, we can clearly perceive that the product strength of Polaris amulet is very interesting.

At present, there are still many functions of the Polaris amulet that have not been uncovered, but what is certain is that there will be many "secrets" exposed at the next Geneva Motor Show, and we will continue to follow up the reports!
