“2020 to 2022 is a period of gaining significant momentum for
the Smart EV sector which will rapidly accelerate from 2023 to 2025
and a create massive disruption to traditional ICE vehicles,” said
He Xiaopeng, Chairman & CEO of XPeng.
“End-to-end R&D, data-driven capabilities and fast growth
are three initiatives needed for a company to gain long-term
competitive advantages and dominant market share,” Chairman He
added.
At its 2nd Tech Day, XPeng launched 18 firmware OTA updates,
adding 82 new features to its vehicles. The voice assistant’s
average monthly utilization rate reached 99.74% and in-car
navigation utilization rate achieved 92.54%, according to XPeng’s
2020 Smart Car Operations Report.
XPeng’s autonomous driving system XPILOT 3.0, planned for
release in the first quarter of 2021, will provide Navigation
Guided Pilot (NGP) for highways and memory auto parking for
carparks. These new features address some of the major challenges
for drivers in China.
Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP)
Built on XPILOT 3.0, the NGP highway solution enables autonomous
driving from point A to point B. The solution will be available on
all of China’s major highways with high-precision digital maps and
will be the most advanced navigation guided autonomous driving
system for production models in China.
The NGP system incorporates driving scenarios specific to China
such as traffic cone recognition and avoidance, large truck
avoidance, night overtaking reminders, faulty vehicle avoidance,
and vehicle follow on congested roads. It can also handle adverse
weather conditions, complex roads and locations without GPS
signals.
The solution will be the only 360° dual-perception system in the
industry with optimal identification of automobile surroundings
with the most powerful positioning capabilities in production.
Memory Auto Parking
The XPILOT 3.0 will feature a Memory Parking functionality for
parking lots. This feature will recognize side-front parking spaces
and cover “the last mile” of parking with the ability to avoid
obstacles, plan routes and park with extreme precision. The feature
is the world's first auto parking system for production vehicles
that does not require any car park modifications.
“Our core competitive advantage is our end-to-end in-house
developed software for autonomous driving. In the past few years,
we have developed a full range of self-developed R&D and
implemented these advanced technologies into our models. There are
only two auto makers in the world that have end-to-end autonomous
driving capabilities and XPeng is one of them,” said XinZhou Wu,
Vice President of Autonomous Driving at XPeng.
World’s first All Voice In-car System
XPeng also introduced another update of its Xmart OS operating
system with the world’s first All Voice In-car System, able to
deliver the majority of in-car functions. The updated system is the
world’s first in-car voice system that responds to continuous
driver-vehicle dialogues and is able to execute 10 voice commands
every 25 seconds.
“Driver-vehicle interaction technology has evolved from physical
buttons to touch screens, to today’s voice commands,” said Ji YU,
Vice President of Internet at XPeng.
Xmart OS is now the world’s first open-end vehicle hardware
system which allows third-party applications to access vehicle
status and data to produce tailor-made infotainment. It also has a
unique programmable smart lighting system where users can
personalize its lighting effects in the future.
