2. About assisted driving

When the vehicle is delivered, Ruige's driving assistance, 360 image, HOLCA intelligent lane centering assistance and other functions will not be fully activated forthe time being , because they use a set of hardware, and the software needs to be integrated development. At present, the main work of software development has been completed. , but it still needs to be fully verified. The verification work is being carried out in the United States and China at the same time, but it has been delayed for about three months in China due to the epidemic.

In addition,Cadillac provides a car purchase subsidy of 15,000 yuan,which is entirely provided by Cadillac and does not conflict with the government replacement subsidy.

Cadillac has launched a service similar to financial leasing. The biggest difference from financial leasing in the industry is that it gives consumers two choices after the expiration of 3 years. The first choice is that he can continue to keep the vehicle, and the second choice is Car owners can choose to return the car. These two options can make consumers not worry too much about the residual value. This service is called "replace with new".
