History

Interior

In September 2021, the newly established joint-venture company Jidu Auto, established on the initiative of Geely and Baidu, presented the first photos of deeply camouflaged prototypes heralding the production model of the Chinese company.[1] The debut of the finished car was preceded by the presentation of the Robo-01 Concept prototype in June 2022, announcing the key features of the vehicle's appearance[2] and the company's plans for the coming years as part of the "Roboday" event.[3] Ultimately, the debut of the model originally called Jidu Robo-01 took place at the end of October 2022.[4] Less than a year later, in August 2023, the car was officially renamed Ji Yue 01.[5]

Visually, the 01 extensively reproduced the features of the prototype that preceded its debut.[6] Both the front fascia and the rear part of the body are decorated with full-width light strips made in Full LED technology, while a slender roofline gently sloping towards the rear, and the number of concavities and recesses is kept to a minimum in favor of flat surfaces. The manufacturer has abandoned traditional door handles in favor of motion sensors, and the doors open unconventionally: the front ones swing up and the rear ones open "against the wind".[7] The futuristic and minimalist passenger cabin was distinguished by the lack of a traditional steering wheel in favor of a steering wheel, while the dashboard, devoid of switches and traditional instrument layout, was created by a large, 35-inch display running across the entire width of the cockpit and displaying images in 3D technology.[8]

The 01 is a technically advanced car that is equipped with the fourth level of semi-autonomous driving and extensive driver support systems while driving. The car is equipped with 8,295 smart chips from Qualcomm, the Orin X chip from Nvidia, 31 external sensors, 12 HD cameras, two LiDAR environmental monitoring radars and an artificial intelligence system.[9]

Specifications

Based on the Sustainable Experience Architecture platform, the 01 is a fully electric vehicle powered by a set of two engines with a total power of 536 hp (543 PS; 400 kW). This allowed the vehicle to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.9 seconds, while the 100 kWh battery pack supplied by the Chinese company CATL, according to the manufacturer's data, allows the vehicle to travel up to 600 kilometres (370 mi) on a single charge.[10]
