"In the first half of next year, Xiaopeng City NGP will be applied in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou; in the second half of next year, without a picture, we will also strive to form urban NGP capabilities; in 2024, we will try to complete point-to-point assisted driving functions."
On October 24, China Programmer's Day, Xiaopeng Motors held the fourth Xiaopeng Technology Day online.
As an automotive technology company, Chairman and CEO O He Xiaopeng and Xiaopeng Automobile Vice President of Automobile Wu Xinzhou shared the process and mass production plan of Xiaopeng Automobile in the four dimensions of intelligent driving, intelligent interaction, intelligent robots and flying car at a press conference that lasted more than an hour.
is all dry goods, the live broadcast room is natural for applause, and the comment area is constantly golden. This is the rhythm that a new force should have when holding a press conference, right?
He Xiaopeng graduated from South China University of Technology and has served as technical manager , test manager, and project manager; Wu Xinzhou graduated from electronic engineering at Tsinghua University, and later obtained a master's degree in electronic engineering from the University of Illinois in the United States. He has worked in Qualcomm for more than ten years and is the head of the autonomous driving R&D team. Both of them were indeed the "siege lion" seniors. Let’s take a look at the four major events that these two "siege lions" uncles told users on Technology Day.
01, automobile intelligence is about to enter the second half!
The single-scene assisted driving technology we are now using is undergoing major changes.
Compared with high-speed assisted driving, the research and development difficulties of urban market scenarios are hundreds of times. However, the implementation of high-frequency and urgently needed urban scenarios will be the beginning of the second half of intelligent assisted driving.
Regarding the promotion plan for intelligent assisted driving, Xiaopeng Motors has given a clear timetable: 2023 will usher in the era of full-scene assisted driving, and by 2026, it will begin to launch towards full autonomous driving and unmanned driving.
Is all-scene intelligent assisted driving the driving method you want?
does not require high-precision maps and can be used in all cities and road sections across the country. It can cover daily commuting, seamless connection of highways, cities, underground parking lots and other scenarios, and the experience is uninterrupted.
On highways and urban expressways, based on safety, road game capabilities and traffic efficiency, smart assisted driving with near zero takeover is aimed at XNGP equipped with the XNGP of the Xiaopeng G9 Max: the driving experience of exceeds that of most drivers.
In order to achieve this goal, Xiaopeng Motors has significantly upgraded its hardware, using 508 TOP computing power + dual lidar + 800W pixel high-definition camera , as well as a software architecture with improved capabilities, a fully closed loop, self-growing AI and data system.
XNGP is a full-scene intelligent assisted driving system that can be turned on anytime and anywhere?
XNet deep vision neural network of Xiaopeng Motors replaces complex handwriting logic and realizes end-to-end data-driven algorithm iteration compared with the first generation of visual perception architecture. It fuses the data collected by multiple cameras before multi-frame timing, and then outputs the dynamic target object 4D information and 3D information of static objects from the BEV perspective.
For example, they will be the size, distance, position, speed, behavior prediction and other data of dynamically moving vehicles. For another example, the location data of lane lines and road edges will also be output in real time.
However, to achieve such a technological upgrade, it is necessary to go through a huge amount of work in data collection, labeling, training and spacing deployment.
First of all, Xiaopeng Motors has improved the labeling efficiency through a fully automatic labeling system; in addition, Xiaopeng Motors' autonomous driving intelligent computing center "Fuyao", floating point calculation 6 billion times per second, and its computing power reaches 600PFLOPS, solving the problem of training efficiency; at the same time, the 122% Orin-X computing power required for dynamic XNet is only 9% after optimization of the ultimate engineering capability.
In addition, Xiaopeng Motors collects a large amount of training data through massive vehicles through targeted collection, and with the help of automatic labeling system and Fuyao, the data can be quickly corrected.
Regarding rare extreme scenes, through the combination of directional acquisition and simulation, more than 1,000 extreme scenes have been solved in one year, which can reduce the accident rate of high-speed NGP by 95%.
changes to each line of code must be based on the simulation mileage after driving 50 million kilometers.
Regarding the timetable for technological advancement, the XNGP system will be delivered to by the first half of 2023. In addition to , it has high-speed NGP, memory parking, LCC, smart parking and other functions, it will also have the ability to open the traffic light across (all cities without pictures) and go straight through the intersection. The city NGP will cover three cities: Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai.
In the second half of 2023, in most cities without maps, the ability to change lanes, overtake, and turn left and right is open. However, some high-level capabilities are available, and will be opened in stages according to the number of users and the progress of testing.
will complete the full scenario opening in 2024, realizing the intelligent navigation assisted driving capability from parking space to parking space .
In addition, for users of the XPILOT version, Xiaopeng's intelligent assisted driving capabilities will continue to be updated.
02, intelligent voice interaction, faster and more free?
As early as the second 1024 Technology Day in 2020, Xiaopeng Motors pioneered the "full-scene voice" function. It is amazing and has become the industry's first full voice interactive system. This year, Xiaopeng Motors has once again upgraded full-scene voice 2.0.
The MIMO multi-sound zone technology used for the first time does not require wake-up and can recognize the voice dialogue between people and vehicles of multiple occupants in the car. Under weak and no network conditions, it can also stably control more than 600 vehicle functions. Relying on the complete integrated voice-on-cloud solution, G9's voice response speed reaches milliseconds, achieving the most humanized communication frequency.
G9 even uses local computing power to realize local dialogue.
intelligent voice, from 1.0 to 2.0, has upgraded the self-developed voice interaction technology architecture, which can realize the parallel processing of 's whole-vehicle multi-channel voice streams, and supports the processing of voice interaction requests interwoven by four-sound zone concurrency, end-cloud integration, real-time stream recognition understanding, parallel command and other functions; it can also realize 's whole-vehicle multi-channel context understanding, which not only maintains single-person dialogue and context management, but also compatible with multi-person dialogue and context understanding.
intelligent voice assistant can listen to, observe speech, and observe color , understand, learn, reason, and remember , can perceive, empathize , and express, is almost the closest way to everyone's interaction. The self-development of
intelligent voice capability has also reduced the voice CPU usage rate by 65.9%, and the memory usage has been reduced by 42.3%. While optimizing engineering capabilities, it has achieved rapid iteration, user privacy and security guarantees, and reduced data costs.
03, Xiaopeng robot, "Little White Dragon" is capable of "housework" work!
Xiaopeng Pengxing’s intelligent robot is affectionately called “Little White Dragon” by the industry. After its debut in 2021, it has become increasingly close to mass production! What updates has it implemented this year?
's "bones" on the body and legs are lightweight, which are stronger and lighter than the first generation;
's shape is more sci-fi and has a futuristic style, integrates AR projection on the head, and uses the same "EVA supercritical foaming" and wear-resistant rubber as high-end running shoes on the soles, which can provide excellent cushioning, silent and wear-resistant performance;
uses new elastic fabrics and liquid silicone materials in the neck and other areas to ensure multiple degrees of freedom of movement, and is also resistant to impact and scratches. After
applied a new generation of AI computing units, it has the same computing power level as smart cars;
is equipped with a high-fidelity audio system, with delicate voice and audio-visual entertainment enjoyment;
is equipped with a 6-axis collaborative robot arm and cooperates with a four-legged chassis, which can achieve multiple functions in a home environment.
During the research and development process of intelligent robots, technologies such as power systems, autonomous driving, human-computer interaction, and R&D systems from the field of automotive R&D have also achieved effective empowerment. AI capabilities will become the "engine" that drives the development of robotic intelligence and automotive intelligent technologies, while data is the "energy" that drives the development of technology.
Automotive intelligence, and robot intelligence, will form a situation where "each achieves each other".
04, this is the world's first electric hanging flying car
As early as October 10, the tram circle reported on the first test flight of Xiaopeng Flying Cars in Dubai , which received heated discussions from many netizens. Indeed, 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, which are unprecedented and have no mature experience to learn from.
This flying car has an arm folding storage system, which can switch between land travel and flight modes. When the
arm is folded and stored, its size is the same as that of an ordinary car, and it can also drive freely on open roads. After switching to flight mode, it can complete vertical take-off and landing under the conditions permitted by regulations and environment, and fly across congestion, obstacles, rivers, etc., to achieve short-distance and low-altitude travel.
Compared with the concept model released last year, this flying car has a longer flight time, smaller width, and correspondingly reduced size restrictions on take-off and landing sites. The folding and storage method is simpler and the noise is less.
Flying car adopts Xiaopeng Huitian’s self-developed flying car driving control system. It couples with various functions of aircraft and car control, and can meet the driving needs of both flight and land travel.
Driving a flying car will be very simple. In land-based state, the driving method is almost exactly the same as that of our ordinary cars; in flight state, through the coordination of the steering wheel and the right gear lever, the flying car can easily move forward, backward, turn, rise, hover, and descend in the air. The emergence of the flying car driving control system has made the "road and air integration" truly possible. We look forward to the country's early implementation of relevant supporting policies and standards in the automotive industry, so that more people can realize their dream of flying as soon as possible.
05, tram circle-Chasanting
This year's Technology Day, Xiaopeng Motors can be said to have shown its "technology muscles". While building cars, Xiaopeng Motors is advancing the process of "cars entering the sky". In the field of intelligent driving assistance, L2 and L4 are also laid out at the same time. We look forward to the early full-scene implementation of the intelligent driving function, and we also look forward to the four-wheeled car we drive, which one day will soar in the sky. What will happen to Xiaopeng Motors make this year? We will continue to witness the next Science and Technology Day!
