Since intelligence swept through the entire car circle, how to bring users a more relaxed driving experience has become the key development goal of many car companies, and the solution to this problem, in my opinion, the crux is mainly in intelligent driving aids. The long-term soldiers in the field of intelligent driving auxiliary are divided into two - lidar and pure visual routes, and the representative models of the two factions are the world's first LiDAR mass production car Xiaopeng P5 and pure visual route spokesperson Tesla Model3, so who is the real future trend of the two? Bibi just knew.

Xiaopeng P5: Dual lidar is strongly empowered
First, let's look at the lidar design of the Xiaopeng P5. The Xiaopeng P5 has a lidar on each side of the front bumper, which further increases the coverage of perception. The lidar used by Xiaopeng P5 is from DJI, using multi-lens reciprocating scanning, with a blind spot of less than 0.5m and a detection distance of 150m, reaching centimeter-level high-precision ranging, and having the ability to perceive three-dimensional information of the environment, which is also one of the key points that the lidar scheme is superior to the pure visual scheme.
Thanks to the blessing of dual lidar, Xiaopeng P5 has upgraded the XPILOID 3.5 intelligent assisted driving system, further improving the perception, so that it can not only realize the high-speed intelligent navigation assistance driving system (high-speed NGP), realize intelligent follow-up, lane change, overtaking, intelligent entry and exit ramp operations on the highway, and also support urban NGP, traffic light intersection intelligent traffic, urban intersection intelligent overtaking, roundabout road traffic, Y-type intersection assistance and other functions are completely out of the question.
You know, before, intelligent driving on urban roads was still a distant dream for smart cars, and Xiaopeng P5 after upgrading XPILOT 3.5 will shine the dream into reality.
Tesla Model 3: Pure visual route
Looking at the Tesla Model3, which has always adhered to the pure visual route, there is no radar, no high-precision map, and this system completely relies on cameras and algorithms to identify the road environment and judge the driving situation of the vehicle. There is no doubt that this route has extremely high requirements for algorithms, because it cannot directly obtain three-dimensional information like radar, so the responsibility for this part of the operation needs to be borne by the algorithm.
Tesla Model 3 is equipped with an FSD system, what will the driving experience be? At present, the foreign FSD system has been updated to Beta V10.5 version. The FSD system can realize a large number of intelligent driving assistance functions to achieve urban intelligent assisted driving, but there are still some problems that are difficult to solve. For example, the collection of the road environment relies entirely on cameras, but the relatively backward cameras used by Tesla will have a great impact on the data collection of the previous section of the algorithm. In addition, the current FSD test effect shows that on the streets with relatively wide lane lines, it will appear snake-shaped driving, the stability is not enough, and it may also misjudge illegal traffic social vehicles, in the streets with particularly large traffic, vehicles will repeatedly judge and hesitate. In this case, the FSD system is obviously unable to adapt to the domestic road.
In summary, xiaopeng P5 and Tesla Model3 are undoubtedly the best in the field of intelligent driving aids, but due to the different routes used by the two, the driving experience is indeed very different. The Xiaopeng P5, which has dual lidar empowerment, has obviously more accurate and stable detection and perception capabilities than Tesla with a pure visual route, and the driving accuracy will naturally be higher. Therefore, if it is me, I still think that the Xiaopeng P5 is more trustworthy.
