China�s Most Advanced ADAS System for Urban Driving
GUANGZHOU, China–(BUSINESS WIRE)–XPeng Inc. (XPeng or the Company, NYSE: XPEV and HKEX: 9868), a leading Chinese smart electric vehicle (Smart EV) company, today announced that it has launched the pilot program of City Navigation Guided Pilot (City NGP), making it the first Chinese auto company to launch such high-level Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functions for complex urban driving scenarios.
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 Companys 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.
Chinas 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 periodand 100 km of drivingbefore 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.
