The automotive market is developing by leaps and bounds – it’s hard to believe, but ten years ago, in a rare flagship, you could find a touchscreen multimedia system, and now you won’t surprise anyone with a digital dashboard. True, to implement many really interesting functions or just smooth operation of the interface, manufacturers have to use quite expensive processors, which usually go exclusively to flagships or representatives of the luxury segment. The Chinese company Neta, which few people have heard of before, decided to fix this problem.
The fact is that the car manufacturer yesterday, October 10, officially introduced the world to a car called Neta U-II, which is a relatively affordable solution and at the same time works on one of the best processors for this segment – we are talking about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155. Accordingly, even in the basic configuration of the Neta U-II (called the Neta U-II 400), a potential buyer gets access to the flagship chip, and such a bundle costs only $ 19,140 (translated from yuan). This is actually an impressive move on the part of the manufacturer, as previously the most affordable car with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 was a $42,000 model.
Moreover, it is worth noting that the price of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 is 15% of the cost of Neta U-II 400, which is certainly an incredible rarity – usually the manufacturer puts the lion’s share of funds into power plants (in this case, electric ones), interior and exterior. Moreover, although Neta U-II will have three configuration options at the time of release, they differ only in range – 400, 500 and 600 kilometers (depending on the model chosen, the user receives a battery of appropriate power). But the dynamics of the electric car is mediocre – the car accelerates from zero to hundreds in 9.5 seconds.
Due to the installation of the flagship chip, the car boasts three displays in the cabin at once – one acts as a digital dashboard, the second is responsible for multimedia functions, and the third is located in the central tunnel and provides access to the car’s settings and driving mode selection. Also, for an additional $ 1,200, the car can be supplemented with a special driver assistance system that will help change lanes, park, and more – in total, the system consists of 22 sensors that monitor the situation around the car.
