A cohort of Guangzhou-based XPeng P5 customers can now access
City NGP through over-the-air (“OTA”) updates before launching to
other cities, underscoring a key milestone of the Company’s
world-leading autonomous driving technology.
“With the rollout of City NGP, XPeng is spearheading a strategic
roadmap to complete our ADAS coverage from highways and parking
lots to much more complex city driving scenarios, offering our
customers enhanced safety and an optimized driving experience,”
said Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPeng. “We believe the
continuous evolvement of City NGP and the expansion of its coverage
will accelerate the transformation of the driving experiences of
our customers,” Mr. He said.
China’s Most Advanced ADAS System for Urban Driving
When City NGP is activated with a set destination, the vehicle
itself can perform the full range of driving tasks such as cruising
with a safe distance from leading vehicles, changing lanes due to
navigation or vehicle overtaking decisions, handling
merging/splitting roads, getting around stationary vehicles or
obstacles, and maintaining an appropriate speed throughout the
driving route. It can also automatically detect and react to
traffic lights, make lane change decisions and inform drivers, take
left or right turn and navigate through intersections, roundabouts,
viaducts and tunnels, as well as avoid obstructions like
construction, pedestrians, and cyclists.
The Industry Leading ADAS Hardware Platform
XPeng's City NGP boasts the industry leading ADAS platform,
featuring a multi-modality sensor fusion framework with cameras,
LiDAR units, millimeter-wave radars, high-precision positioning
units and other sensor hardware to offer a 360-degree fusion
perception. Building on such advanced sensor fusion capability,
XPeng also introduced an enhanced Surrounding Reality (SR) display,
capable of visualizing a vehicle's surrounding objects and
projecting them in 3D, together with high-definition map
information, on both the digital dashboard and central panel in
real-time.
City NGP Availability
As a part of XPILOT 3.5, City NGP will be first made available
on the premium version of XPeng P5. To ensure sufficient knowledge
of safety procedures, City NGP requires a seven-day familiarization
period—and 100 km of driving—before its functions can be used on
all available roads. Going forward, XPeng will deliver the
full-scenario ADAS on its new flagship G9 SUV, the fourth
production model to be officially launched in China on September
21.
