Nowadays, these new era car brands account for a large proportion of the research and development of intelligent assisted driving. Not long ago, the Zekr 001 was launched, gaining a lot of attention from consumers. The Xiaopeng P5, which was delivered at the same time as it, also became popular with dual lidars. The highly anticipated NIO ET7 will also be delivered in the first quarter of next year. So what are the differences in the performance of three cars of different prices in terms of intelligent driving?
20W grade: Xiaopeng P5 family car king
First of all, let’s talk about the 20W grade Xiaopeng P5. At this price, it is difficult to find a car with solid materials like Xiaopeng P5. 2 lidars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 13 intelligent assisted driving cameras, and equipped with GNSS navigation system, IMU inertial measurement unit, Nvidia's Xavier intelligent assisted driving chip. This configuration is a perfect result even if it reaches level 40W.
You should know that models equipped with lidar, such as NIO ET7, Jihu αS Huawei HI version, and Zhiji L7, have exceeded 400,000 yuan, while the two models equipped with dual lidar equipped with dual lidar are priced at 550P and 600P after subsidies of 550P and 600P, respectively, bringing the originally high-ranking lidar models to a price of less than 200,000 yuan, greatly narrowing the distance between consumers and lidar models.
With the support of lidar, the new XPILOT 3.5 intelligent assisted driving system NGP's scope of application has been expanded from highway/fast road to urban roads. Vehicles can realize intelligent assisted traffic intersections, customized follow-up of urban road conditions, intelligent assisted overtaking in urban road conditions, intelligent assisted speed limit adjustment, intelligent assisted access around the island and other operations.
In addition, the XPILOT 3.5 intelligent assisted driving system also supports VPA-L cross-floor parking lot memory parking function. Vehicles can realize intelligent assisted driving to the vicinity of the parking space and complete parking garage under driver monitoring from the parking lot entrance (within a specific distance from the parking space). It is reported that such a feature will be launched in January next year.
30W level: Zekr 001 has to "wait for a while"
Zekr 001 As a carefully polished product by old car companies, how does it perform? Through the configuration, it can be seen that the Zekr 001 has invested in intelligent driving assistance. The sensor hardware system with 15 cameras, 1 ultra-long sensing millimeter wave radar, and 12 short-range ultrasonic radars can already crush most new energy vehicles on the market.
However, according to the owner who has already picked up the car, although the hardware of the Zekr 001 is excellent, in order to truly realize the advanced intelligent driving assistance function, you still have to wait for the OTA to upgrade. The Zekr 001 we have now won even have basic functions such as cruise control, lane keeping, and smart parking. This also caused certain damage to consumer rights. No wonder the owners of the car who had blindly settled on the Zekr 001 slapped the table. Didn’t this spend more than 300,000 yuan to buy a “futures”?
40W level: NIO ET7 expects to reach
and are also the first echelon of the new car manufacturing forces. NIO ET7 has attracted much attention since its debut. Seeing that delivery is imminent, what are its outstanding features in intelligent driving? The NIO ET7 adopts a super-sensing system called "Aquila": it includes 1 high-precision lidar, 11 8-megapixel high-definition cameras, enhanced driver perception, 5 mmWave radar, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 2 sets of high-precision positioning units and V2X vehicle-road collaborative perception. This intelligent assisted driving system will gradually realize a point-to-point intelligent driving experience in highway, urban areas, parking, power-up and other scenarios, which is still worth looking forward to.
It is understood that the entire NIO ET7 series comes with 19 safety and driving assistance functions, and the complete function of NAD will adopt the service subscription model of "monthly opening and monthly payment". I wonder what you think about this model?
With the continuous upgrading of automotive intelligence and electrification, smart cars have become a major trend in the transformation of the automobile industry. Whether it is the Xiaopeng P5, the Zekr 001, or the NIO ET7, they all represent the highest level of intelligent driving at different prices. I believe that in the future, we will enjoy the smartest travel experience at a more appropriate price, and roll up the smart car for me!
