Today, the change of Xiaopeng P5's rights and interests has aroused heated discussion, focusing on "software packages becoming standard", showing the ambition of this "future travel explorer" company and opening a new round of intelligent change.
In the field of domestic intelligent vehicles, Xiaopeng Automobile, as China's first full-stack self-developed car company, has firmly taken "intelligence" as the anchor point from the beginning of its establishment, and has taken the lead in the research of intelligent auxiliary driving function. So far, Xiaopeng Automobile has set its sights on "helping intelligent driving speed up development", and this equity change to achieve the "standard" of the software package has achieved a win-win situation, which can improve the user penetration rate and user perception of high-level intelligent driving assistance functions, and also expand the intelligent driving database of Xiaopeng Automobile, forming a data closed loop to provide data support for the rapid iteration of intelligent driving functions.
A contest of technology companies over intelligent assisted driving
Intelligent iteration has become an important factor for automobiles to seize the future market, and the achievements of new energy vehicle market share and sales volume show that the transformation of electrification has arrived, and intelligent driving aids are a major highlight and just need for new energy vehicles. Tesla became famous for this, the first to really let the public see the direction of intelligent driving, but also set off a trend of intelligent car research and development.
On the intelligent car track, Xiaopeng Automobile is the earliest entrant in China, and has the ambition to challenge Tesla, the "leader", and also has the determination to launch a larger scale to popularize intelligent transformation. So, compared with Tesla, what is the bottom line of Xiaopeng Automobile? Insisting on self-research, after 7 years of exploration, Xiaopeng Automobile's NGP has surpassed the degree of Tesla FSD, and is also the strongest sound of domestic intelligent driving aids.
What do you mean by that? Personal test + onlookers on the network of various assessments, from the Xiaopeng P5 can feel the maturity of the high-speed NGP function of Xiaopeng Automobile. Xiaopeng P5 once had a positive PK with Tesla Model 3 in terms of intelligent driving assisted driving function, and the result was 67.8 points, leading the Tesla Model 3 with 65.55 points, the score gap is not large, but it does announce the technical success of Xiaopeng Automobile. This test also allows more users to see the "silky slippery" of Xiaopeng P5 intelligent assisted driving, whether it is lane changing overtaking, or following the car brake, up and down ramps, etc., Xiaopeng P5 has more reasonable control, more linear performance, will not be like Tesla Model 3 emergency stop brake. As Xia Heng, co-founder of Xiaopeng Motors, once publicly stated: Xiaopeng found its positioning at the beginning of its establishment, and the strength of products and technologies is not inferior to Tesla, and even in some intelligent fields, it is far beyond Tesla.
The NGP function of Xiaopeng Automobile is indeed from the perspective of "making a smart car that understands China better", which brings a driving experience that is more suitable for the use of Chinese cars, which is one of the best in the industry. In terms of technology and function, Xiaopeng Automobile has achieved a breakthrough in the research of domestic automobile brands on intelligent auxiliary driving of automobiles.
High-speed NGP is the first step in the development of intelligent vehicles, but also the research progress of most car companies on intelligent cars, it is not difficult to do it, it is difficult to do a good job. So, is Xiaopeng Automobile ready? Research on relevant data can be found that Xiaopeng Automobile's high-speed NGP has higher scene coverage, lower manual takeover rate, higher lane change efficiency, realizes the accurate positioning of the whole scene, and solves the high-precision positioning problem under high-complexity road conditions and no global positioning signal, which is very important for China's road conditions with complex traffic conditions.
In addition, the most important point of Xiaopeng Automobile's high-speed NGP is the adaptation of China's roads, in addition to the general "intelligent speed limit adjustment", "intelligent switching highway", "optimal lane selection", "intelligent up and down ramp", "intelligent overtaking" functions, Xiaopeng Automobile's high-speed NGP also has "traffic cone recognition and avoidance", "congested road super follow-up", "night overtaking reminder", "fault vehicle avoidance", "lane change intelligent emergency avoidance", "large truck avoidance" and other functions suitable for Chinese roads.
For example, in the face of a major problem in China's traffic - traffic jams, Xiaopeng Motors' NGP has a reasonable solution. Traffic jams are the most annoying problems for car owners, not only delaying time, but also requiring a lot of energy to drive traffic jams. Because the distance between the cars is relatively close, the vehicles are stopping and stopping, but also always pay attention to the congestion of other vehicles, a section of traffic jam driving down, not only pedaling to the foot sore, but also mental fatigue. If it is a novice driver encountering traffic jams, it is even more stressful, but Xiaopeng P5 can open the adaptive cruise mode to achieve close follow-up, you can set the distance and speed of the car, and the actual measurement has a good anti-congestion effect, which can greatly alleviate the user's traffic congestion anxiety.
It is worth mentioning that as a leading brand of domestic smart cars, the advantage of Xiaopeng P5 is not only in high-speed NGP, in fact, it has crossed this step and entered the stage of urban NGP. High-speed NGP is also limited to the highway, urban NGP means that smart cars open up urban roads, the current step of the car brand only Tesla and Xiaopeng Motors, and Tesla FSD can only be realized in overseas markets, Xiaopeng Motors will launch urban NGP in the first half of the year, is the first in the country to take this step of the car brand, there is no one. Xiaopeng P5 is equipped with urban NGP, which can realize functions such as red and green intersection traffic and roundabout road traffic, further reducing the driving pressure of users.
In addition, for the parking lot view, Xiaopeng Automobile also has a corresponding feature - VPA parking lot memory parking, through the way of memory parking routes, Xiaopeng P5 in the user's attention to achieve intelligent parking from the garage entrance to the parking space. After evolution, this function can now not only realize fixed parking spaces, but also find empty parking spaces along the way, support memory route sharing, cross-floor memory parking (2 kilometers), etc., which is very convenient.
Just some time ago, Xiaopeng Automobile also further upgraded the parking lot memory parking function to achieve cross-floor parking memory parking, even if it is a double-storey/ multi-storey parking lot can also be parked smoothly. Even without the use of parking lot memory parking, the practicality of smart parking systems and 360° panoramic images is very high. Intelligent parking allows Xiaopeng P5 to plan its own parking path, slow down, steer, brake, park into the parking space, and the parking space is very applicable, reversing, side parking are a piece of cake. In addition, even the old driver is inseparable from the 360 ° panoramic image, Xiaopeng P5 can project the surrounding environment of the car to the 14.6-inch large screen, bringing a 360 ° view without dead angles, and the obstacles in front of and behind the car are unobstructed, bringing great convenience to parking.
User recognition is true, Xiaopeng Automobile user experience is "very good"
In this way, the package of Xiaopeng P5 is naturally called the "gospel" of the user, but the actual use experience of the equipment and functions of the function is two different things, the early extreme Kr 001 made this joke, the promotion of this car what configuration has, to the hand after driving the machine are laborious. So what is the actual experience of the package of Xiaopeng P5?
In fact, from the change of rights and interests, it can also be seen that Xiaopeng Motors has technical confidence in its own intelligent auxiliary driving function, and it has accurately touched the user's attitude: the new generation of consumers have enough curiosity and trust in the intelligent auxiliary driving function of Xiaopeng Automobile.
In fact, as early as the first anniversary of the launch of Xiaopeng Automobile's NGP function, a report was issued on the annual use of NGP, and in a year 's time (as of January 20, 2022), the NGP has accumulated a mileage of 19253223 kilometers and can almost 500 laps around the equator. In addition, the user penetration rate of Xiaopeng Automobile's NGP function has reached 96%, and the cumulative driving time 224119 hours. It can be seen that the NGP recognition of Xiaopeng Automobile by this session of users is very high.
Some users commented on the NGP function of Xiaopeng Automobile: "It is too convenient, especially when it is not familiar with the road conditions, NGP is simply the best helper, and the high-speed driving that is easy to feel tired has become simple, and I feel that I can't do without NGP." Indeed, people who often open high-speed know that it is really easy to get tired when driving high-speed, especially when the tunnel is too long, the oppressive and dim environment, the interval speed limit, etc., so that driving becomes a troublesome thing, very energy-consuming, and with the NGP function assist, users only need to pay attention to the surrounding environment, do not need speed control, brake door switching, really relax a lot. Not only high-speed, parking and other troubles, Xiaopeng Motors have also taken into account, and the applicability of the function is very good.
In addition to high-speed NGP, the VPA parking lot memory parking function is also a favorite function of Xiaopeng Automobile users, as of the end of 2021, VPA has assisted users to complete 140,000 parking lot memory parking, and the cumulative route of VPA has reached 30,080.
Standing on the intelligent car track, the domestic market needs an ambitious and more powerful car brand, Xiaopeng Automobile is undoubtedly such a brand, exploring the future mode of travel, Xiaopeng Automobile has never been a car-making company for its own positioning, and from the perspective of technical strength, this China's first full-stack self-developed mass production car company has enough background. When some car companies are still selling high prices for intelligent driving aids as "add-ons", and even drawing cakes with intelligent auxiliary driving, Xiaopeng Automobile has realized the benefits of users with practical actions, advanced exploration, and accelerated the next development of intelligent auxiliary driving.
