Boss checking homework? Xiaopeng City NGP internal technology test video released

On June 27, He Xiaopeng, chairman and CEO of Xiaopeng Motors, released a video of the internal technology test of Xiaopeng Motors City NGP on his social platform (Weibo).In the video, He Xiaopeng is in the main driver position, Wu Xinzhou, vice president of autonomous driving of Xiaopeng Motors, is in the co-pilot position, and two other staff members are in the back row.They started from Xiaopeng Motors headquarters, passed Keyun Road, Linjiang Avenue, Machang Road, Huacheng Avenue, Liede Bridge, Shuangta Road, and finally arrived at Guangzhou Tower.The entire test mileage is 17 kilometers, which takes 49 minutes, and the whole process takes over once.

The video is about 15 minutes long. In the video, you can see that they have experienced 180-degree U-turn, traffic light recognition, lane change detour, unprotected left turn, large vehicle response, low-speed following judgment, etc.Among them, He Xiaopeng and Wu Xinzhou also discussed how to deal with extreme weather. They agreed that extreme weather should remind the driver to take over and turn off this function.

In the end, He Xiaopeng summed up the test experience: in a straight line or in a congested road section, the experience brought by Xiaopeng NGP is very comfortable, the same as that of a mature driver; the unprotected left turn is very good, and it is relatively cautious.But there are two points that need to be optimized: one is that when there is a car nearby, there will be a time delay when the vehicle brakes to zero and then accelerates; the other is that there are more obstacles or pedestrians around the vehicle, it will be more stressful.What makes him particularly uncomfortable is that when there are large buses around, he feels that the IQ of the vehicle has dropped by a generation, and he is too cautious like a child encountering an adult.

He Xiaopeng believes that only when high-level intelligent assisted driving enters the car, and it can run automatically every time you drive, and associate other capabilities, can it be called a smart car.The previous smart car, called the reserve team or the initial stage, had a certain level of intelligence, but it was not smart enough."But I am still quite confident that our intelligent assisted driving has surpassed all competitors," said He Xiaopeng.

Wu Xinzhou, vice president of autonomous driving of Xiaopeng Motors, said that the most painful thing about being an urban NGP is that there is no benchmarking, and only drivers can be benchmarked. However, sometimes the old drivers still have a relatively high standard, and they hope to directly benchmark with L4 companies in the future. , with the cost of a mass-produced car, you can achieve an experience like the L4 company.

After He Xiaopeng posted the video, Xia Yiping, CEO of Jidu Automobile Co., Ltd. also reposted it on his social platform, with the text "It will soon be able to compete with Jidu's global integrated autonomous driving PK", I don't know if this counts Isn't it a "war letter" to Xiaopeng Motors?
