This is the new model of the Galaxy line, called Starshine 8: a hybrid with a length of more than five meters, with an advanced autopilot and a battery, which provides a stroke on pure electricity of 160 kilometers. The Starshine 8 sedan will be one of the first Geely models to receive advanced autonomous driving technology under the familiar G-Pilot name. For her, the level of autonomy is declared 2.9 – this is higher than that of Tesla.

The hybrid 5018 millimeters has a 0.25 aerodynamic resistance coefficient, which is only a little inferior to the electrical version. In the cabin, it has two separate screens: a narrow rectangular digital panel of the devices and a large -format tablet of a multimedia system based on the Flyme Auto OS, a joint development with a manufacturer of Meizu smartphones (belongs to Geely).

The basic semi-automilot is designated G-Pilot H1: the complex includes ten chambers and heels of the radar of the millimeter range, adaptive cruise control and the automatic parking system. The G-Pilot H3 is located above the step-the cameras are also ten, but there are already three radar, plus the ability to move in autonomous mode not only on the highway, but also in urban conditions.

The seniority followed by the G-Pilot H5, supplemented by a lidar and another camera, followed by the G-Pilot H7 on a more powerful computing platform and with the function of artificial intelligence. Finally, the most advanced version of the system is the G-Pilot H9 with 13 cameras and several lidars, and this option corresponds to the third level of autonomy. Such a level, for example, has a company “Mercedes” Drive Pilot, available only for EQS and S-Class flagships as an option.
