[Understanding Chedi Original Industry] " our (Xpeng Motors) intelligent assisted driving surpasses all competitors ".
6 27, Xpeng Motors Chairman CEOHe Xiaopeng released a video of Xpeng P5 urban NGP internal technology test on his social platform, and initiated the topic of "How can autonomous driving be brought into reality?"
Xpeng Motors Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng posted a video on his social platform
. Unlike most companies that develop intelligent assisted driving, He Xiaopeng appeared as the driver, carrying Wu Xinzhou, vice president of autonomous driving technology of Xpeng Motors in the passenger seat. Personally tested various smart coverages of urban NGP, including: 180-degree U-turn, traffic light recognition, detour and lane change, response to extreme weather/special situations, unprotected left turns, large vehicle response, low-speed car following judgment, etc. to the scene.
It is reported that this test was conducted in Guangzhou, starting from Xiaopeng Motors headquarters and ending at Canton Tower . The entire journey was 17 kilometers and took 49 minutes. During this period, only one manual takeover was performed.
Faced with different traffic scenarios, He Xiaopeng also frankly communicated his true feelings. The
video mentioned that the current total computing power of the Xpeng Automobile system is only 20-30 TOPS, but the lidar it is equipped with can make up for the low computing power of the system. It is understood that the urban NGP system of Xiaopeng can support the identification of animals such as cats and dogs, as well as the identification of people in wheelchairs and squatting people, as well as the accurate identification of road signs on the ground.
In addition, when encountering large vehicles, pedestrians, or vehicles approaching from the side, He Xiaopeng believes that the method of responding to large vehicles is too conservative and there is still room for optimization. He said frankly, "When meets a bus, it is like a child meeting an adult. It is very honest ." Judging from the video, when large vehicles such as buses invade the lane, the urban NGP will almost stop. In He Xiaopeng's view, this situation is unnecessary and the stay is too long. He Xiaopeng complained, "When encounters a big car, it feels like its (NGP) IQ has dropped by one generation compared to ."
As for the low-speed following judgment, He Xiaopeng believes that its handling of some scenes is not perfect enough. For example, when encountering a vehicle illegally parked in the lane, the vehicle will not use the lane to overtake, and the vehicle also appears in this video for the only time that it is manually operated. Takeover situation. In addition, Wu Xinzhou also said that it is not recommended to turn on urban NGP in scenarios where there is hail and icy roads.
However, He Xiaopeng is still confident in Xpeng Motors’ intelligent assisted driving system, and even said, “We have surpassed all competitors.”
In addition, at the end of the video, Wu Xinzhou also said frankly: The most painful thing about being an urban NGP is that there is no benchmark and no car can be found to benchmark .
In his opinion, "There are currently no competitors for autonomous driving to learn from. We can only design it based on how experienced drivers drive. In the future, we hope to benchmark against L4 (autonomous driving assistance) companies and use a The cost of mass-produced cars can achieve the experience of like L4 company.”
