In the past, it was a manifestation of privilege, not only a symbol of identity, but also a significant improvement in efficiency. However, with the progress of society and the improvement of the system, the traditional "brushing face" is gradually changing into "black technology" among young people.

In the field of science and technology, "face brushing" is called "face recognition" or "face recognition", which is a biometric technology based on facial feature information. Smart access control, mobile phone unlocking, identity authentication, bank authorization, bill payment, these familiar life scenes can now be completed through facial recognition, which is convenient and fast.

This kind of "black technology" widely recognized by young people, cars will naturally not let go. Under the general trend of intelligence, many automobile manufacturers have added face recognition function to their products. Isn't this in the latest 202 1 model? On Cadillac XT4, you can choose to install such a set of face recognition unlocking and starting system.

Officially, this system can say goodbye to keys completely. Is that really the case? We found an XT4 equipped with this system and experienced it first.

The recognition module of this system is integrated on the B-pillar of the driver's door and consists of two infrared cameras and an RGB camera, which can recognize 106 feature points of human face. Whether it is makeup or plain face, wearing glasses or sunglasses, this set of lenses can accurately identify facial information. Above the camera assembly, there is also a set of fill lights to ensure the recognition ability under dark light conditions.

Just like a mobile phone, if you want to unlock it with face recognition, you must first enter facial information. There is a small touch screen under the B-pillar, which can operate all the settings of this system. Administrators can add or delete users after entering the management interface with a specific password.

The whole entry process is quite fast, and you don't need to look up and down like some mobile phones. As long as you look directly at the camera, you can complete the entry operation in an instant.

Plus the administrator, the new XT4 face recognition system can store up to 8 sets of identification information, which can unlock and start the vehicle smoothly, which is very convenient for families with multi-person car demand. Enter facial information, brush your face and you can experience unlocking happily.

First, we need to wake up the face recognition system. You can wake up by pressing the unlock key on the door handle or touching the fingerprint identification area under the small screen of B-pillar. After the system is started, you can immediately complete facial recognition and unlock the door.

When you press the button on the door handle or touch the fingerprint identification area, you need to wait in place for a while. When the system is ready, you can brush your face to unlock it.

If you are in a hurry to unlock it and don't want to wait, it's easy. This system also has a third scheme: mobile phone Bluetooth wake-up. After the mobile phone is bound to XT4' s face recognition system through Bluetooth, the system can wake up in advance when walking to the vehicle. When the user walks to the B-pillar, he brushes his face to unlock and open the door, and the whole action is done in one go.

XT4' s face recognition system can adapt to the environment. It happened to encounter a light rain in the process of our experience, and it can still complete the identification operation under this degree of water accumulation on the map. The recognition success rate is also close to 100% under the condition of weak light or dark light in the underground garage.

In addition to face recognition, this system also provides two other authentication methods, fingerprint and password. However, for security reasons, at present, apart from facial information, the unlocking operation cannot be completed by fingerprint or password alone, so we can only choose two additional unlocking methods: face recognition+password or fingerprint+password.

Can this XT4 achieve the official "farewell button"?

Yes, no problem. After our repeated tests, no matter what kind of unlocking method is used, you can open the door, start the vehicle and drive away smoothly without a key or even a mobile phone. After parking, you can lock the door by touching the lock key on the B-pillar screen.

In terms of security, even twins don't have exactly the same face because of their unique biological characteristics. Moreover, this system also provides fingerprint and password unlocking, and there are two combined unlocking methods, so you don't have to worry about security at all.

Of course, as a new generation of urban SUV, its highlight does not stop there. Cadillac's latest design language makes XT4 highly recognizable and designed. Equipped with a new generation of general-purpose 2.0T turbocharged engine, the maximum power is 24 1 horsepower and 350 Nm, so it is very easy to shuttle through the city.

The new XT4 is also equipped with the latest version of Cadillac's CUE system, which increases the technology configurations such as Baidu Intelligent Voice Interconnection, Wireless CarPlay, Baidu Map, etc., and strengthens the people-vehicle interconnection experience. Coupled with the help of "black technology" such as face recognition, XT4' s "smart" progress bar has several more squares.

Personally, on the road of smart cars, "unlocking" is only a very basic use scenario of face recognition, and its next application may be to trigger the deep personalization of cars. The uniqueness of human face makes it a way for vehicles to identify specific users, thus using different personalized settings.

The way of car unlocking has developed from the earliest turning key to driving today. Every progress makes unlocking the most common action more efficient, and it also changes our car habits step by step. Face recognition system is not only an upgrade of XT4 configuration, but also a bold exploration. When it becomes our habit, what will be the next evolution?
