테슬라 벤치마크! 포드, 자동차 펫 모드 개발

A patent application from Ford shows that Ford is developing a "vehicle control manager" that can remotely control the temperature, windows and music. Perhaps a boon for pet lovers, the software is thought to be inspired by Tesla's dog mode.

Tesla는 2018년에 운전자가 동물을 차 안의 편안한 온도로 유지하도록 하는 Dog Mode를 제공하기 시작했습니다. 그 후 몇 년 동안 자동차 제조업체는 애완 동물 친화성을 추구했습니다.

Ford's patent application, filed in 2018, was unveiled last week after a four-year design cycle that would allow a parked vehicle to lower one or more windows, adjust the temperature via a car key or a smartphone app. Level, open the sunroof or liftgate, recline or fold some seat backs. The pet button on the car's remote control can also be used to open the door to help pets get in and out of the car flexibly. The system also allows the car to play relaxing music for pets to enjoy. Ford explains in the patent that arranging a car's interior to meet your pet's needs can be a long and tedious task because you have to adjust each setting individually. During the process, your pet may become impatient and create extra stress when it comes to tidying up windows and climate control.

Tesla Dog Mode works like a Ford, but a bit more advanced. Dog Mode takes advantage of the inherent advantages of having an electric vehicle with a large battery, essentially operating as a small climate-controlled cabin for any waiting animals in the vehicle. Anyone who must leave their pet in the car can simply turn on the dog mode button on the car's climate control, and a large screen will display the message: "My owner will be back soon. Don't worry! The heating or air conditioning is on. , the current temperature is XX degrees." If the car's battery is low, the driver will receive a push notification on his phone to return to check on the pet.

강아지 모드가 차 안의 애완 동물이 안전한 환경을 유지하도록 도와줄 수 있지만 Che Jianjun은 여전히 ​​이 기능을 사용하면 차 안에 방치된 어린이를 혼자 둘 수 없다는 점을 모두에게 상기시키고 싶습니다!
