ORA Grand Cat, the luxury electric cat
ORA Grand Cat, also known in China as the ORA Lightning Cat, is a 4-door electric sedan designed to be more luxurious and bigger than any other ORA model, with a 5-seat coupé shape with a curved roofline. up to the end of the car Under the design concept of smooth, rounded and minimal floors, all sub-models sold in China will have a panoramic glass roof as standard equipment. And if you remember, ORA’s design team used to be the same design team for luxury sports cars like Porsche, so the smell of Porsche is inevitably still attached to the ORA Grand Cat electric brand.
In addition to designing the car to have a perfect luxury The full range of technology of the Great Wall Motor camp that truly understands the needs of customers. Another ORA has been doing well in Thailand since its first release, with the ORA Grand Cat expected to still have the same drivetrain as the one available in China. This is the six L2+ equivalent of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) autonomous vehicle standard. The ORA Grand Cat is slightly above L2 with partial driver assistance.
It will include the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) built into the ADAS dash cam, which will work in conjunction with Mobile Eye’s EYEQ4 autopilot control chip to provide control over a predetermined full speed range. Including pausing and restarting back to the previously set speed. The car will slow down and stop following the car in front. And when the car in front moves following braking within 3 seconds, the car will automatically follow the car in front. There will be a tracking distance.
Combined with the function of intelligent cruise control (ICA), which will operate according to the speed set by the driver. But it will detect the car in front to keep a safe distance. Coupled with low-speed cruise control (TJA), which will automatically control the speed when using low speed. Allows to follow the car in front or continue driving at a constant speed to reduce the burden on the driver.
in terms of having to make an emergency stop Autonomous Emergency Braking on straights and intersections (AEBI) is one of the best in its class L2+ with Pedestrian and Crossroads Detection, which calculates the distance between the car and the pedestrian. in real time There is an audible alarm and automatic braking. Help avoid collisions or reduce impact. It also has a low-speed emergency braking system. By using the radar to detect both stationary obstacles or pedestrians moving in the reverse direction. and if it is found that there is a risk of collision The system will help brake automatically. The speed while reversing must not exceed 8 km / h.
and when the driver is fatigued Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) automatically assists steering to keep the vehicle in its lane. by identifying road lane lines through a camera on the windshield when the driver unknowingly diverts into the lane The system will help control the steering wheel to return the car to the lane immediately. Also, when the monitoring system finds that the driver has unsafe driving characteristics The system will notify you with a sound. This will work in conjunction with the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) warning system when the vehicle is leaving the lane. when the vehicle unknowingly deviates from the lane The system will beep to give the driver more time to react. When the driver is sneezing, tired, etc., which may cause the vehicle to deviate from the lane The system will notify immediately.
The subsystem for keeping the car in the safe lane also has a Lane Keeping Assist (LCK) system to help control the car in the center of the lane at all times. and a system to help control the car in the emergency lane (ELK), which if detected another car is coming or a passing car coming up from another lane The system will intervene more to avoid or reduce collisions. In addition, ORA Grand Cat also has a heavy vehicle side approach avoidance system (WDS), which monitors large trucks or vehicles with long size which during overtaking The system maintains a reasonable distance between cars to avoid collisions. And will support the car to return to the original lane automatically
However, when the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is used, Intelligent Turn is also available. There will be a camera that monitors the curvature of the road. And adjust the speed automatically if it is necessary to reduce the speed while cornering for safety. and when the curve has passed The car will return to the original set speed. It also has Hill Start Assist (HSA) to help start from a standstill on steep slopes. The brake will remain held for regarding 2 seconds until the throttle actuates to prevent reversing.
There is also a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), where the car continuously measures tire pressure and warns the driver if the pressure of any tire drops. And a 360-degree surround view camera, consisting of 4 cameras that can be seen around, with sharp resolution
4 Megapixel, which the system combines all 4 camera views to create a 360-degree image to show the view of the car in a “Helicopter” and automatically activated when entering reverse mode. It can only be viewed when driving at a speed of 15 or 30 kilometers per hour and when starting the car.
and there are also highlights of important technologies such as 3-Axis Automated Parking Assist (IAP), which uses sensors and cameras to detect objects and markings in parking spaces or parking spots. And helps to control the car in full to park either vertically, horizontally or inclined, when pressing to confirm, specifying the space to park the car The car will park itself by controlling the steering wheel, brakes and accelerator until the end of the parking process.
While reversing, there is also a warning system when the vehicle is in the blind spot while reversing (RCTA), with sensors to help monitor the rear blind spots of the vehicle on both the left and right side of the lane while reversing. when reversing out of the parking space into the traffic lane The rear sensors of the car will check the left and right side of the traffic lane and Send an audible and visual alarm If the driver ignores the vehicle and does not stop, the automatic emergency braking system will be activated to reduce speed and stop the vehicle to avoid a collision.
There is also a fatigue driving warning system (DFM) to help assess and analyze the driving behavior that occurs with the vehicle. such as steering angle, braking, lighting control and rainwater driving time If you find that your driving style is tiring or following driving at a speed exceeding 80 kilometers per hour And driving for more than 4 hours, the system will warn with visual and sound for 20 seconds every 10 minutes, which can be reset only when the car is stopped. Which the car will give a warning and advise you to take a break for safety.
