Xiaopeng Auto Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng recently announced the latest configuration of Xiaopeng Huitian Flying Auto at the 4th "1024 Xiaopeng Automobile Technology Day". It has an arm folding storage system that can switch between land travel and flight modes.
is in the folding and storage state of the arm. Its size is comparable to that of a conventional car and can drive freely on open roads; it can switch between land and flight modes. Take off and land vertically under conditions permitted by regulations and environment, and fly across congestion, obstacles, rivers, etc., to meet people's needs for short-distance and low-altitude travel.
Compared with the concept model in 2021, the latest design is optimized from the horizontal dual rotor configuration to a distributed multi-rotor configuration.
now has a shorter arm and blade, smaller overall length and width in flight status, smaller size restrictions on take-off and landing sites, better passability and more convenient use. At the same time, the folding and periodic variation of the paddles , and the folding and storage method is simpler. The overall system design complexity is reduced, and safety and reliability are improved while achieving lower noise levels.
In addition, it has the fault-tolerant control function of flight control and dual backup of power. Even if a single point of failure occurs, it can still maintain controllable flight and safe landing. Currently, Xiaopeng Huitian has conducted multiple single-motor failure tests in the early exploration products.
Currently, Xiaopeng Huitian Flying Car has completed the successful first flight of the test prototype.
Xiaopeng Motors said that this is the world's first real electric hanging flying car. To successfully take off the test prototype vehicle weighing about 2 tons, it is necessary to overcome many difficulties such as flight control and power. The industry has no mature experience to learn from. Xiaopeng Huitian has achieved challenges through full-stack self-development, which has made a substantial breakthrough in the research and development of flying cars.
Flying cars will also adopt Xiaopeng Huitian’s self-developed flying car driving control system. It couples various functions of aircraft and car control to meet the driving needs of both flight and land travel. In land travel, it is basically the same as the driving method of the existing cars; in
flight, through the cooperation of the steering wheel and the right gear lever, the flying car can easily advance, retreat, turn, as well as rise, hover, and descend in the air. The emergence of this operating system has truly made "integrated road and air" possible.
At present, the development progress of flying cars is in progress in an orderly manner. Xiaopeng Huitian is also calling on the country to accelerate the implementation of relevant policies and standards in the flying cars industry, so that the development of flying cars can be supported by supporting policies.
XNGP system completes full-scene opening in 2024
XNGP Motor said that the implementation of the urban market scenario is only the beginning of the second half of intelligent assisted driving. The XNGP intelligent assisted driving system equipped with XNGP G9 has the ability to fully intelligent assisted driving, and is also the ultimate technical form of assisted driving before unmanned driving. It not only does not require high-precision maps, but can be used in all cities and road sections across the country, but also covers daily commuting and seamlessly connects various scenarios such as highways, cities, and underground parking lots.
"In terms of high-speed, fast-to-zero takeover, security, road game capabilities and traffic efficiency, XNGP's experience will also exceed that of most drivers. In order to achieve this capability, Xiaopeng Motors has significantly upgraded its hardware, adopting 508 TOP computing power + dual lidar + 800W pixel high-definition camera, and applying a software architecture with a new improvement in capabilities, as well as a fully closed-loop, self-growing AI and data system." The basic capabilities of
data closed-loop are composed of four core capabilities: acquisition, labeling, training, and deployment. Efficiency is one of the important KPIs of the AI system. Therefore, through directional collection, Xiaopeng Motors can collect a large amount of training data through massive vehicles, and quickly correct it with the help of automatic labeling system and Fuyao. Even for some very rare extreme scenarios, a large amount of data of the same type can be generated through the simulation system and quickly iterative training.
combines directional collection and simulation, and more than 1,000 Corner cases (extreme scenarios) have been solved in one year, and the high-speed NGP accident rate has been reduced by 95%.At the same time, each line of code changes requires a simulation mileage of 50 million kilometers, 5,000+ core simulation scenarios, and challenging 17,000+ special simulation scenarios to ensure the reliability and forward evolution of functional iteration.
With the high efficiency brought by the software and hardware system, the XNGP system will be open to the ability to identify traffic lights and pass directly through intersections before the first half of 2023, in addition to the G9 Max version of the model being delivered, which will have high-speed NGP, memory parking, LCC, smart parking and other functions, and will open the ability to identify traffic lights nationwide (all cities without pictures) and pass through intersections directly. The urban NGP covers three cities, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai.
In the second half of 2023, lane change, overtaking, and left-right rotation capabilities will be opened in most cities without maps (the available range of high-level capabilities will be opened in stages according to the number of users and the test progress). The full scenario will be opened in 2024, realizing intelligent navigation and assisted driving capabilities from parking spaces to parking spaces.
In addition, for users of the XPILOT version, Xiaopeng's intelligent assisted driving capabilities will continue to be updated. From 2022 to the first half of 2023, the Xiaopeng G9 Pro version will open traffic light recognition and lane-level navigation functions based on the delivery of high-speed NGP, memory parking, LCC, smart parking and other functions. This function will also be available in Xiaopeng P5 P version and E version, Xiaopeng P7 E version and Zhizun version. The city NGP of Xiaopeng P5 P version will be added to Shenzhen and Shanghai, and the performance of the city NGP and LCC enhanced versions will also be further improved.
In the second half of 2023, the high-speed NGP, VPA, and LCC of the Xiaopeng G9 Pro version will usher in performance improvements, and the high-speed NGP functions of all the above versions of the models will also usher in strategy optimization in speed limit adjustment and hand-off detection during this cycle. (Note: The urban NGP urban opening progress is subject to the OTA plan, and some functions must be upgraded with corresponding software and services).
Recently, Xiaopeng Motors also passed the closed site test for autonomous driving and obtained the intelligent connected car road test license. Xiaopeng Motors said that G9 has become the first mass-produced car on sale to successfully pass the closed site test of autonomous driving and obtain the "Intelligent Connected Vehicle Road Test" license without changing the hardware without changing the hardware. In the future, Xiaopeng Motors will realize a closed loop of data and capabilities through dual-line parallelism between autonomous driving and high-level assisted driving.
is equipped with a 6-axis cooperative robot arm, collaborating with four-legged chassis
Xiaopeng Pengxing’s intelligent robot has continued to explore this year since its debut in 2021, ushering in a new generation of prototypes.
Xiaopeng Motors said that compared with the previous generation, the current model has a more sci-fi shape and has a future style: the head integrates AR projection, which is an exploration of robot interaction form; the same "EVA supercritical foaming" and wear-resistant rubber as high-end running shoes are used on the soles of the foot, providing excellent shock cushioning, silent and wear resistance; new elastic fabrics and liquid silicone materials are used on the neck and other areas to solve the design problems of multi-degree of movement, and are impact-resistant and scratch-resistant.
In addition to the upgrade of the shape, "Little White Dragon" has also ushered in the architectural upgrade. The "bones" of the body and legs draw on the lightweight design ideas in the automotive field, which are stronger and lighter than the first generation; the new generation of AI computing units are the same computing power as smart cars, improving the intelligent potential of robots; at the same time, it is also equipped with a high-fidelity audio system to bring delicate voice and audio-visual entertainment enjoyment; the "Little White Dragon" upgraded by
is equipped with a 6-axis collaborative robot arm, which cooperates with a four-legged chassis, and can perform multiple functions in the home environment and enhance the potential of the robot's interaction with the physical environment.
