Noah, throw in the towel? Experience the heavy function NGP of Tucki P7 XPILOT 3.0 deeply.

"It is our mission to drive the community from the garage, then get on the expressway, get off the expressway and stop, and realize end-to-end automatic driving." Are you online? 20 19? Year? In June+10, 5438, I was deeply impressed by Wu Xinzhou, vice president of Xpeng Automobile. Just one year later, it is still in Guangzhou, and we are sitting in Tucki? P7？ Driver's seat, experience on an empty highway? PPT？ Are you online? XPILOT？ 3.0? The most important link in the decomposition action-NGP.

Surprisingly, NGP? The experience in some complicated scenes in China may be better than Tesla's, and it must be candidly admit defeat. ...

Are you online? 20 19? Year? 1024? Xpeng Motors intelligent technology sharing day, first heard by domestic media? XPILOT？ 3.0? Moderate to severe function? NGP？ The official name of this function is navigation? Guided? What about the pilot (high-speed autonomous navigation driving) now? 2020? Tucki Smart Day in 2008, we finally experienced it in China? NGP？ Engineering version of.

NGP: high-speed autonomous navigation and driving

Compared to? XPILOT？ 2.5? Open? ACC？ Regarding the functions of adaptive cruise, lane centering, steering assist and lane change with lights, NGP? This function can be realized in most highways and urban elevated sections covered by high-precision maps according to the planned path of vehicle navigation:

Automatically enter the main road;

When cruising on the main road, the vehicle intelligently chooses the optimal lane;

Automatically switch to the next expressway/elevated road according to the navigation scheme;

Automatically leave the main road (ramp);

So, with this feature, XPILOT? 3.0? Tucki? P7？ Can bring intimacy? L3？ Assisted driving experience level. Vehicles can automatically change lanes on expressways covered with high-precision maps, automatically enter and leave expressways or overpass forks, and automatically overtake slow-moving vehicles.

About what? NGP？ how much is it? This question actually needs to be answered. XPILOT？ 3.0? & hardware; Price. Tucki at present? P7？ Model1* * is divided into three versions, corresponding to the driver assistance system? XPILOT？ The version is as follows:

Zhixing Edition: Unaided Driving System

Zhixiang edition: XPILOT standard? 2.5 (Hardware+Software Services)

Zhizun Edition: XPILOT standard? 3.0 hardware? +? XPILOT？ 2.5 software (XPILOT? 3.0 Software and upgrade services need to be purchased separately)

And it's only the extreme edition. What else do you buy? XPILOT？ 3.0? Can the software model be used? NGP？ Function.

XPILOT？ 3.0? Hardware appliance

About the hardware you are interested in, XPILOT? 3.0? Cars whose hardware has been listed have also firmly occupied the position of the first echelon. NVIDIA for computing platform? Xavier? Dual combination of chip and intelligent controller. High precision millimeter wave radar? 5? One, is there one outside the car? 13? A camera, including the front? 4? A camera (1? A three-eye camera module and? 1? A front security camera), 5? Enhanced induction camera (left and right? 2? A, the rear? 1? ), what else? 4? Look around the lens; At the same time, there is a camera in the car. Does the whole car count? 14? A camera.

XPILOT？ Hardware differences

And then what? XPILOT？ 3.0? With sub-meter high-precision positioning system, high-speed autonomous navigation and driving can be realized: on the expressway covered by high-precision map, it can be realized from? Answer? Have you arrived? b？ Autopilot at eight o'clock.

What should the car owners pay attention to? XPILOT3.0？ Software and upgrade services need to be purchased separately to use? NGP？ Function.

XPILOT？ Functional differences

At present? XPILOT？ 3.0? How much is the lifetime service fee for software and upgrade services? 3.6? Ten thousand yuan, there are three ways to buy:

Sign the vehicle order contract at the same time on the same day? XPILOT？ 3.0? Software and upgrade services can be enjoyed at one time? 2? Preferential price of ten thousand yuan;

Sign the vehicle order contract at the same time on the same day? XPILOT？ 3.0? Software and upgrade services, select? 1.2? Pay 1 ten thousand yuan/year? ,? Continuous uninterrupted payment? 3? You can enjoy lifelong service after the year;

Only sign the vehicle order contract in the early stage, if you want to open it in the later stage? XPILOT？ 3.0? Do you need to pay a lifetime service fee for software and upgrade services? 3.6? Ten thousand yuan.

It should be noted that this time we are experiencing the development version? NGP？ Function, do you still need to wait for the interaction between the open step and the final version? XPILOT？ 3.0? An official push. However, from the feedback of riders and new travel communities, what do you think of it? NGP？ Still curious. We also take this opportunity to talk to you.

Want to use it? NGP？ It is necessary to plan the route through the navigation of the on-board system.

The first is the opening method, NGP? It is based on Gaud's high-precision map and vehicle navigation path planning. Do you want to use it? NGP？ It is necessary to plan the route through the navigation of the on-board system. So use it? NGP？ Before, you need to turn on the car navigation and plan the route.

NGP？ Open mode

Follow the system navigation into high speed, small? p？ "Has gone in will be sent out? NGP？ Available area ". Pull the gear lever twice to open it? XPILOT. What if the system recognizes the lane line and decides to open it? NGP？ When, Xiao? p？ Will also send out "NGP? Has been opened, please enjoy the next journey. " When in use, our test car can point to a specific interface and watch the informal version of the vehicle perception interface.

Open? NGP？ After that, you can adjust the cruising speed and following distance of the vehicle through the multi-function button on the left side of the steering wheel. The next key is to control the increase and decrease of vehicle speed, and the left and right keys are to adjust the distance from the vehicle. Regarding overtaking logic, there is no specific setting interface in the beta version at present, but the official version will have a corresponding interface.

Another thing to note is that even in the later stage? XPILOT？ 3.0? Official promotion, NGP? The function is only an assisted driving system, and it can't be "unmanned", so use it? NGP？ Be sure not to rely too much on functions? NGP, drivers should remember to pay attention to the road conditions and be ready to take over the vehicle at any time.

And what about Tesla's NoA? And Wei lai? NOP？ Same, NGP? This function can only be used in highways, expressways and elevated sections covering high-precision maps.

Experience line

For experience? NGP？ How does the function perform in intelligent lane change of main road cruise and import and export ramp? We chose Guangzhou-Shenzhen Jiang Yan, Guanfo Expressway and Guanglong Expressway. NGP？ Functional experience test.

Because the version we are experiencing is not the final version? XPILOT？ 3.0? Official version. At present, the big screen display is an engineering test version, and the actual display effect is subject to the final release version.

The central control panel will also display the perception of future road vehicles.

We should look at the perception interface of vehicles in advance, but we can pay attention to one detail, that is, Tucki in the future? P7？ On the central control panel and instrument panel, there will be a perception of the surrounding vehicle road conditions.

However, the sound prompts of the auxiliary driving system are relatively scarce. In contrast, it is still Wei Lai. NOP？ In terms of voice interaction, it will be more advantageous. This is also because the current version is a beta version, and it needs to be finalized later? XPILOT？ 3.0? After the official version goes online, we will once again experience the perception of vehicles and the interaction of prompt sounds, so you can keep your attention.

We also filmed the prompt sound when the system was turned on and off, and when the vehicle was turned on? NGP？ At that time, the prompt sound of the on-board machine was: "NGP? It has been opened, please enjoy the next journey. "

What is the intelligent optimal lane change in high-speed cruise? NGP？ A function that is most closely related to everyone, open? NGP？ After the function, when the vehicle is driving on the main road, it will always monitor the vehicle information on the road, choose the overtaking opportunity according to the currently set cruising speed, and choose the clear lane.

For example, when the cruising speed of the vehicle is set to? 100km/h？ What is the speed of the vehicle in front of you? 80km/h？ About, at this time, the speed of the vehicle in front is lower than? 100km/h？ Yes, has it started? NGP？ Our vehicles will choose the right time to change to a faster lane.

Encounter a slow train? The vehicle will prompt and overtake.

From practical experience, Tucki? P7？ The performance of self-selected lane change is good, the whole lane change will not be abrupt, and the process of turning to accelerate overtaking is very similar to that of "old driver", which is stable and decisive.

After entering the expressway, vehicles can leave the rightmost lane independently and preferentially.

Besides, on the highway, Tucki? P7？ It can realize localization optimization. After entering the expressway, vehicles can leave the rightmost lane first to avoid being slowed down by trucks.

Vehicles will not stick to the logic of "staying in the overtaking lane", and vehicles can choose the left and right lanes at the right time. This is due to the hardware redundancy of the front camera module of the vehicle. The hardware of 3-eye camera+1 can detect the traffic flow in the current lane and the next lane respectively. In the overtaking lane, if the front car is too slow, Tucki? P7？ Can change to the right and overtake the local train in the overtaking lane.

In addition, in the process of overtaking and changing lanes, the detection of vehicles coming from behind is also very good. If the oncoming vehicle accelerates from the rear during lane change, the vehicle will drive in the original lane to avoid accidents.

Encounter an accelerating rear car? The vehicle will cancel the lane change and wait for the next car to leave.

For the recognition of dotted line and solid line, Tucki? P7？ It can be confirmed that in most cases, on the solid line, the vehicle will not change lanes. If the vehicle meets the local train ahead at the solid line, the vehicle will not change lanes immediately after turning on the turn signal. The vehicle will wait until the solid line becomes a dotted line, then identify the lane next door and make a lane change action when changing lanes, which is consistent with the operation of human drivers.

However, in some extreme scenes, if the vehicle has crossed the dotted line when actually changing lanes and the road ahead becomes a solid line, the vehicle will continue to change lanes at this time. Expect the official online version to further optimize this problem.

About what? NGP？ Function, from the main road into the ramp is also the focus of everyone's attention. The route selection we have experienced this time has multiple off-ramps, and then we meet again after off-ramps? y？ High speed ramp conversion.

Tucki? P7？ What is the speed limit of the ramp curve? 60 km/h

In the current beta, Tucki? P7？ The speed control in the ramp is dynamic. What is the speed limit in the curve? 60km/h, and the speed limit can be increased to? 80 km/h. There won't be a scene where other models are slow on the straight section of the ramp and there is no car in front.

From the ramp exit? 2km？ Left and right, start changing lanes for the first time

When the main road turns into the ramp, will the distance from the ramp exit be displayed on the map when the vehicle is in the leftmost lane? 2km？ Left and right, open the first lane change reminder and implement lane change. How far is it from the ramp exit when changing to the second lane? 1.3km？ The left and right vehicles will continue to change lanes for the second time, and quickly give priority to the right lane to facilitate getting off the ramp. This operation logic is consistent with the operation logic of human drivers to avoid missing the ramp exit.

Encounter? y？ On ramp scene

Vehicles on the ramp automatically slow down, encounter? y？ Expressway ramp conversion, Tucki? P7？ what's up NGP？ Can also be competent.

Experience Weilai before us? NOP？ Sometimes when there is little traffic, the success rate of Weilai off-ramp will be much higher. But the overall performance is not very stable, and for Tucki? P7？ what's up NGP？ Overall, the overall experience will feel that the system will be better able to withstand the pressure of traffic flow, not like? NOMI？ That often leads to an embarrassing situation that cannot be changed.

The vehicle automatically decelerates and follows the preceding vehicle into the ramp.

In the process of merging into the ramp, when there is a car in the target lane, Tucki? P7？ There are two different coping strategies. For example, when the rightmost vehicle is fast, the vehicle will slow down and follow the preceding vehicle into the ramp. And when the right speed is slow, what about Tucki? P7？ You can overtake the local train and merge into the ramp. In this link, the overall performance is consistent with the operating logic of human drivers.

When merging into the main road, Tucki? P7？ The performance of merging into the main road is also relatively stable. Before merging into the main road, the system will automatically turn on the left turn signal to change lanes, and the system can recognize the solid line, and it will not be completely merged into the main road until the solid line becomes a dotted line. At present, there are not many voice interactive reminders when the ramp enters the main road. When overtaking the right car, it will send out the prompt sound of "overtaking to the left"

To our credit, Tucki? P7？ what's up NGP？ There will be no Tesla? Noah? Will the vehicle not take the initiative to speed up after going up and down the slope? Bug, after the vehicles merge into the main road, they will soon resume their acceleration. Can you pay attention to the video above, and the speed of the dashboard will automatically return to the speed limit after turning? 120 km/h.

Generally speaking, the current version of Tucki? P7？ what's up NGP？ Considering many complicated scenes, the performance is still excellent. We also expect the official version to bring users a better experience under the complicated high-speed road conditions in China.

In the past few days, we have also encountered rainy days, rainy days in Tucki? NGP？ Will the performance be better than Weilai? NOP？ And Tesla? Noah? More stable. When we were testing three cars, we encountered moderate rain on the same road. When cruising on the main road, is it used in rainy days? NOP？ Occasionally there will be exits. Tesla NoA will also prompt that it cannot be opened, while Tucki? P7？ what's up NGP？ Can be used normally.

Weilai occasionally reminds the camera that the field of vision is limited in rainy days and the system exits.

Tesla can't drive when it detects bad weather? beautiful

On the same section in rainy days, Tucki? NGP？ Can be used normally

In the early days, we also had the experience of long-distance love. Weilai's assisted driving strategy is really conservative for highway sections with poor lighting conditions at night, and it will be easier to introduce and prompt drivers to take over. What about Tesla's? AP？ It's weird. Sometimes the same weather is normal and sometimes it will be reminded.

Tucki P7? Open at night? NGP

So let's experience Tucki deeply this time? NGP？ At that time, we specially went to the expressway at night to experience it. When the light is not very good at night, NGP? Our performance has been relatively stable, and there is no unusable situation, which is a small surprise for us.

Is Xpeng automobile company there? 1024? The information revealed is that they want to build the strongest pilot-assisted driving system in China, mainly in three aspects.

First: the scene coverage should be the highest. Ramps, tunnels, road construction scenes and viaducts have accurate positioning.

Second: the manual takeover rate can be the lowest, and the takeover rate can be the lowest in passenger cars. No matter how complicated the scene is, the car can handle these complicated scenes freely, and minimize human intervention under the premise of safety.

Third: lane change efficiency. Changing lanes is very intelligent, very calm and very safe, which improves efficiency. In complex scenes, we can also find gaps through various strategies to accurately and safely complete the function of lanes and achieve the purpose of navigation.

From our practical experience, Wei Lai? NOP？ And what about Tesla's NoA? We have all experienced, at this stage, the domestic experience? NOP？ The overall strategy will be conservative, in terms of the probability of the driver taking over? NOP？ Than? NGP？ And then what? Noah? Higher.

The road conditions in China are very complicated? Tesla has not changed much on the basis of localization.

NoA from Tesla? With Tucki? NGP？ The performance of lane-changing overtaking and car-following is almost comparable to that of human drivers, and it is regarded as the standard first echelon level on the market at present. As for the difference between the two, it can even be said that Tucki still has some advantages over Tesla in the performance of domestic road conditions. Even if it is as powerful as Tesla, there are times when it is not acclimatized.

In addition to the scene of road construction, Tesla met again on the ramp in the comparative experience of these days. y？ There is a situation in which the ramp becomes high speed? Noah? Vehicle positioning error.

Tesla lost navigation and positioning, and obviously entered the ramp, but the positioning system thought it was straight, and then another one was picked up? y？ The shape of the ramp, for Tesla, the system was completely destroyed.

XPILOT？ 3.0? It has centimeter-level high-precision positioning hardware and deep cooperation with Gaode, supplemented by decimeter-level Gaode high-precision map. NGP will not quit on the same section. And in the tunnel, you will quit early? Noah, NGP? Will not quit.

In addition, everyone is concerned about road construction (identifying the ice cream cone site), Tucki? NGP？ It can also be identified and avoided. From the complicated scenes of tunnels, rainy days, complicated ramps and Lu Yu construction, experience Tesla's? Noah? With Tucki? NGP？ So, what about Tucki? P7？ Due to the super sensing and processing hardware, plus the blessing of high-precision maps and sub-meter high-precision positioning systems, we found that the current version? NGP？ Really better than? Noah? It is more suitable for the road conditions in China. Next, we will also publish a detailed three-car comparison article to show you the differences between the three brands of assisted driving systems in more detail.

About what? NGP？ Online time, at? 2020? 1024? On Xpeng Motors Intelligent Technology Sharing Day, Tucki officially revealed the time: 2020? Release NGP at the end of the year and early next year. Are you online? 202 1 will the whole route from Guangzhou to Beijing be opened in the first quarter? NGP？ Autopilot, the goal is not to touch the steering wheel once.

Are you online? 202 1? Will the whole line from Guangzhou to Beijing be opened in the first quarter of 2008? NGP？ Autopilot project

As for the online time, Tucki officials have actually explained it before. In theory, the automatic driving assistance system needs a lot of testing and verification before it can be finally delivered to the owner. These tests and verifications include 100,000-class and million-class road tests, dangerous extreme scene tests, and near-collapse turning tests. This is also a "test" that must be passed on the road of mass production of assisted driving systems, and it takes time to complete.

Actually, except. NGP？ Function, XPILOT? 3.0? There is also an egg that everyone has been ignoring, and that is the memory parking function of the parking lot.

This function is a new attempt developed by Tucki in combination with domestic usage scenarios, aiming at solving the last mile of autonomous driving. Through XPILOT? 3.0? Strong hardware awareness, Tucki? P7？ Can you establish an independent parking route in the cloud? 3D？ Model. When the memory parking function of the parking lot is turned on, the vehicle can automatically drive to the memory parking space in the whole process, and the automatic parking function in Tucki realizes completely undisturbed parking.

The author and? XPILOT？ 3.0? The two people in the back.

Automatic parking has been a bright spot in Tucki, and its success rate is the first echelon in the whole industry. After adding the memory parking function in the parking lot, XPILOT? 3.0? More fragmentation time can be made available for the driver. What about the future? L4/L5？ Before the arrival of a higher level of autonomous driving, I believe that the teams in North America and China have developed together? XPILOT？ Driver assistance system will be the biggest core competitiveness of Xpeng Motors.

For what? XPILOT？ 3.0, you must have been waiting for a long time. Although there is the impact of the epidemic, but from? 1024? What is the forecast of Xpeng Motors Intelligent Technology Sharing Day? XPILOT？ 3.0? We will still follow the promise made at the previous press conference and meet domestic users as soon as possible. In addition, after we compared and experienced Weilai's? NOP？ With Tesla? Noah? So, what about Tucki? XPILOT？ 3.0? what's up NGP？ Functional performance did bring many surprises. After the successful listing of US stocks, maybe? XPILOT？ 3.0? This will also become another important label for global consumers to remember Tucki.
