Miscellaneous / / May 11, 2023
It has its own operating system, app marketplace and driver assistance program.
Russian startup "Atom" introduced in Moscow, a working prototype of its new Atom electric car. The assembly of the first model is scheduled for 2024.
This is a small hatchback designed for the city. However, the developers themselves call it a gadget car. In particular, it will have its own Atomverse OS (based on Kaspersky OS) and a security gateway Kaspersky Automotive Secure Gateway (KASG) for secure machine software updates and protection against hacks.
In addition, the startup has developed a unique driver assistance system ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems). It includes the functions of lane keeping and automatic parking, traffic jam assistant. It can also recognize traffic signs and anticipate emergency situations.
Russian and Italian designers worked on the appearance of the car. The prototype has a short hood, a vertical embossed trunk, retractable door handles, a spoiler and 18-inch wheels.
The electric car has hinged doors, that is, they open in opposite directions. There is no central pillar in the cabin. Thanks to this, the outwardly small car looks quite spacious inside.
The interior is minimalist. The prototype does not have a single physical button, but the production model will still have them, the developers admitted.
Most of the options can be controlled using the touch screen on the steering wheel of the car. There is also a projection display and a multimedia system. On the touch screen, you can run instant messengers and even games.
It is assumed that the Atomverse software solutions marketplace will debut along with the car. Third-party developers will be able to place their applications or improvements to factory functions in it. For example, upload new voices for the multimedia system.
It will be possible to control some functions of the electric car remotely. The conditional operator of a car sharing company will be able to remotely limit the speed. By the way, the car accelerates to 170 km / h, and up to a hundred - in 7 seconds. The power reserve is 500 kilometers.
Testing of the electric car will begin in August. For this, 13 copies will be made. Mass production is scheduled to start in 2025. The cost has not yet been disclosed, but the car is positioned as a model of the middle segment.
