On February 25th, GAC NIO officially released its in-car voice assistant. This voice assistant is named "Xiao CAN" and will be equipped in GAC NIO's first model, the HYCAN007. Below is the relevant information: Xiao CAN: Xiao CAN measures 2 inches in size and currently has over 30 different expressions, with more than 100 additional expressions under development according to official sources. Additionally, users can become "Xiao CAN" trainers through a mobile app, helping Xiao CAN acquire more skills. GAC NIO: Last May, GAC and NIO jointly launched a new brand called "HYCAN," with Mr. Liao Bing serving as CEO. Currently, HYCAN has introduced an SUV model named HYCAN007. The vehicle comes with two range versions: 523km and 643km, and the new car is set to be launched and delivered in April.
I often use the voice assistant in my NIO car, called NOMI, which is quite adorably designed, resembling a little robot head that rotates on the dashboard. While driving, I just need to say "Hey NOMI" to wake it up, and then I can command it to turn up the air conditioning temperature, plan a navigation route, or play my favorite playlist. It responds quickly, with hardly any lag. However, sometimes when there's a lot of ambient noise, it might misunderstand my commands, and I have to repeat them. But overall, the experience is much better than my friend's BMW voice assistant. NOMI can also automatically adjust the lighting based on my habits, such as turning on the lights when it gets dark, which makes daily driving more reassuring. I've found that it supports multiple dialect recognitions, even understanding my hometown dialect, which is quite thoughtful.
