More than 80 new or optimized features NiO OTA pushes Cedar 1.5.0 new version of the software

On June 18, NiO announced that the new version of the "Cedar 1.5.0" software will be pushed through the OTA from now on. The new version of the software has been upgraded in terms of driver assistance, intelligent cockpit, etc. More than 80 new or optimized functions have been added. The driver assistance system update based on the NiO World Model NWM is the focus of this OTA upgrade. The new version of the software is compatible with both the ET9 and the new ES8 models. The new version of the software adds support for the road navigation assistance of the park, which can pass through the gate independently, realizing the connection with the urban road, and truly realizing the point-to-point navigation assistance. In addition, the new version of the software adds the recognition of traffic direction tides and variable lanes, which enhances the intelligence of the driver assistance system. The high-speed navigation assistance/city expressway navigation assistance function of the new version of the software supports lane change preference selection, and you can choose to navigate only lane change or automatic lane change. This feature can avoid the behavior of the system frequently changing lanes in pursuit of passage efficiency, and meet the needs of more different users. The new urban pilotage power exchange can enter and exit the power exchange station and park independently, achieving one-click navigation, independent access, and no inductive power exchange, which greatly improves the convenience of complementary energy. The new version of the software supports left, center, and right settings for parking assistance, and more and more models are now supporting similar features. During the parking assistance process, non-master passengers can open and exit the car, the system will suspend the parking process, and the parking assistance can be resumed after closing the door. When the vehicle roams in any underground parking lot, the user can issue voice commands to let the vehicle find its way autonomously. The new version of the software supports the autonomous exit of the underground parking lot through the gate and connects with the pilotage assistance of the park. The new version of the software introduces the NWM human-computer sharing function, which supports high-speed and urban expressway sections, including toll station scenarios. The driver can take over the direction of the vehicle or the accelerator pedal at any time. The driver assistance system will synchronously control the vehicle with the driver's operation to achieve the effect of human-computer sharing. The new version of the software adds a category for identifying common obstacles and is now able to identify obstacles such as response cones, water horses, and fences. The new version of the software optimizes the speed of the vehicle when cruising in the underground parking lot, accelerating faster when entering the parking lot through the parking lot gate, and more accurately identifying the occupancy of the collection parking space. A series of functional elements and control logic have been added to the multimedia system interface to further improve the ease of use and optimize the user experience. In order to keep up with the hotspots of the 2026 World Cup, the new version of the software adds a "football feast" theme, including 50 sets of jerseys that can be customized. Users can customize their favorite teams, names and numbers based on these jerseys, and finally generate a personalized jersey theme to strengthen the cockpit atmosphere. The new version of the software further optimizes the replenishment search experience, which can be used for long-distance power-up one-sentence planning. The search results page for charging and replacing power resources can display information such as overall time consumption, cost estimation, price changes, and life services, so as to help users make optimal replenishment program decisions. The new version of the software has also invested a lot of effort in the sound system, simplifying the adjustment of the complex equalizer into an intuitive customized form, and can also intelligently match the optimal sound effect according to the playback content. The lock tone adds three options: ripples, soft waves, and raindrops. The new version of the software introduces a variety of blind image repair functions, which can improve the safety of the car in a variety of specific scenarios. The new version of the software adds Gummy Video and Flying Book app. The new version of the software delivers a better experience, whether it's a live catch or a mobile office. Nomi AI hat adds a nine-shot function, which can be combined with different styles of AI hat to show the expression action and introduce the story behind the character. The AI hat debut show in the Year of the Horse can link the full-active suspension of Skywalker, simulate the movement of the horse's front hoof through the body undulation, and also match the horse's hiss in the cockpit. The AI hat of the pilot and champion driver adds an exclusive wake-up answer that simulates the sound of a Formula Racing radio call. These new configurations further enhance the emotional value of Nomi. The scene-based application of smart headlights has been expanded in the new version of the software to better cope with poor road conditions in the lighting environment. The search light carpet function can illuminate the area of 50 meters in the longitudinal direction and 23 meters in the horizontal direction in front of the vehicle. The smart light carpet function can project a road change light carpet when the vehicle changes lanes autonomously, prompting the driver and the rear vehicle. The omni-directional defense feature that previously appeared in the ET9 technology demonstration video has finally been added to the new version of OTA. When the vehicle speed is in the range of 0-60km/h, when the system senses that there is a risk of large targets such as collision trucks/buses/buses in the forward/rearward/sideways direction, it will quickly lift the body 50mm in 0.7 seconds to reduce the amount of intrusion into the passenger compartment. Overall, NiO Cedar 1.5.0 software upgrade is rich in content, which can solve many users' car pain points, improve vehicle safety, and improve vehicle functions. We strongly recommend NiO ET9 (parameter | inquiry) and the new ES8 user upgrade experience.
