On January 30, Xpeng Motors announced at its headquarters in Guangzhou that it would launch a social solicitation activity with the theme of "Xpeng True Intelligent Driving, Easy to Use Nationwide" during the Spring Festival. As a smart tram brand that leads China's intelligent driving forward, Xpeng's intelligent driving ability has always been a leader in the industry, and it is also one of the core factors for users to love Xpeng and choose Xpeng. At the X9 launch conference on January 1, 2024, Xpeng Motors announced that the urban intelligent driving capability of the XNGP intelligent assisted driving system will cover 191 cities on the basis of the 52 cities that have been fully released, and the total number of cities covered will reach 243 cities.
At this launch conference, He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of Xpeng Motors, delivered a speech, as a "staunch intelligent driving ist", telling the story of all in intelligent driving since the establishment of Xpeng Motors, reviewing the multiple industry milestones created by Xpeng Motors in the field of smart electric vehicles in the past, sharing the persistence and thinking along the way, and once again demonstrating the strongest intelligent driving ability of XNGP intelligent driving assistance system in current mass production. Xpeng said that in 2024, XNGP will achieve full coverage of the road network in major cities across the country, and will start developing high-speed NGP for the world and XNGP for the world in 2025. At the same time, Xpeng officially launched the 2024 Xpeng True Smart Driving National Easy to Use theme solicitation activity. During the event, Xpeng Motors cooperated with major stores across the country to launch a smart driving experience, and selected high-quality content shared by participants to promote, covering multiple ** platforms such as Douyin and Weibo, and finally selected lucky users to give out surprise prizes - with the well-known host "Village Chief" Li Rui to drive in Chimelong and visit and experience Xiaopeng Huitian Flying Car. During the Spring Festival, Xpeng Motors' major stores across the country will not close during the Spring Festival, and there will be gifts for checking in and test driving to experience the latest smart driving functions.
The extraordinary road is all in: the persistence and achievement of intelligent driving.
Since its establishment in 2014, Xpeng Motors has believed that AI will change the way of future travel, believing that the future of travel must be a coupling of "intelligence" and "car". Therefore, Xpeng is based on fully autonomous driving in terms of intelligent driving, sharpening a sword for ten years, and creating countless industry precedents. In 2019, based on its first product, Xpeng G3, Xpeng Motors created a precedent in the industry to realize full-scene intelligent parking through visual perception and ultrasonic fusion, solving the problem of "parking difficulty" with Chinese characteristics.
In 2020, the industry's first "all-scene voice" function was released, providing convenient in-vehicle interaction with "moving mouth without hands", so that almost all application ecology and functions in the car can be solved by calling "Hello, Little P". At the same time, the world's first continuous dialogue function allows users to say multiple instructions at a time or interrupt the next step at any time, which is closer to people's daily communication and greatly improves the interaction efficiency. On the 1024 Science and Technology Day of the same year, high-speed NGP intelligent navigation assisted driving welcomed the open test drive for the first time, and added traffic cone recognition and avoidance, large truck avoidance, night overtaking reminder, fault vehicle avoidance, and super following on congested roads on basic scenarios such as automatic overtaking of slow cars, automatic speed limit adjustment, and priority lane selection, etc., which are more suitable for China's road conditions.
In 2021, Xpeng launched the world's first mass-produced smart car equipped with LiDAR, the Xpeng P5, and officially released the first mass-produced "last mile" parking function that does not rely on parking lot renovation - VPA parking lot memory parking, which expands the intelligent parking experience from parking spaces to parking lots. From September 17, 2022, the city NGP began to be piloted in Guangzhou, and the full-stack self-developed Xpeng Motors became the first car brand to enable the mass production of high-end intelligent assisted driving in urban scenarios. In the same year, Xpeng Motors released the XNGP intelligent driving assistance system, which introduced the BEV + Transformer architecture for the first time with a significant increase in software and hardware capabilities, and took the lead in mass production in 2023.
In April 2023, Xpeng Motors announced SEPA 20 Fuyao Global Intelligent Evolution Architecture; In June of the same year, Xpeng Motors announced the official opening of urban NGP in Beijing, becoming the first high-level intelligent assisted driving in the industry to be opened in Beijing. In November, the XNGP industry was the first to fully open the mapless city navigation assisted driving function; On January 1, 2024, Xpeng's XNGP intelligent driving assistance system will cover 191 cities on the basis of the 52 cities that have been fully released, with a total of 243 cities, continuing to become the industry's No. 1 automobile brand in the total number of cities open to driving.
Looking back on the journey along the way, He Xiaopeng has a lot of feelings. In the past, in 2019, Xpeng Motors was under great pressure at the operating level, "at the door of the ICU", but its investment in R&D has never been reducedIn the past few years, the cross-city testing of the intelligent driving R&D and testing team has been affected by many accidents, but as an "iron army" of R&D, everyone in the team has completed every task with the spirit of "fighting when you come, and winning when you fight". In the face of the need to use the X**ier platform with only 30TOPS computing power to realize the landing of urban NGP, the R&D team can say that the "Xiaomi Plus Rifle" has greatly improved its technical and engineering capabilities in the seemingly "impossible task", laying a valuable foundation for XNGP to achieve the explosive Crazy 200 City this year......Recalling these stories, He Xiaopeng said with emotion that "real technology" requires not only courage, but also perseverance and perseverance.
It is available in all areas, and it is getting easier and easier to use, and everyone loves to use the self-cultivation of the "king of intelligent driving".
As the first domestic car company to mass-produce and implement high-end urban assisted driving functions, Xpeng Motors has continued to improve the speed of "Kaicheng" since the release of the XNGP intelligent assisted driving system, and continues to provide users with the best intelligent driving experience in China with the core goal of being available in all areas, making it easier and easier to use, and everyone loves to use. At present, the navigation assistance driving capability of the XNGP system covers the national highway network, and 21 provinces (including municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions, 9 provincial capitals, 150 prefecture-level cities, 81 county-level cities, a total of 243 cities, has covered 90% of the cities where the owners of the MAX version are located, and the available mileage is 56.).90,000 kilometers, both in terms of the number of cities and the available mileage is the absolute first in the industry. This not only marks the rapid growth of Xpeng's ability to open cities without maps, but also shows the rapid improvement of its city opening efficiency, compared with the map based on high-precision maps, the speed of XNGP mapless intelligent driving is increased by 384 times, and the fastest time to open a city is 1-2 days. He Xiaopeng said that at present, the scale of Xpeng Motors' AI R&D data operation team with autonomous driving as the core has reached 3000+ people, and the annual R&D investment is 3.5 billion. In 2024, XNGP will achieve full coverage of the road network in major cities across the country, and start developing high-speed NGP for the world, and start developing XNGP for the world in 2025.
Intelligent driving safety is the "bottom line" of Xpeng Intelligent Driving, but it is also the top priority of the R&D team. Before all intelligent driving functions are launched, the Xpeng intelligent driving team will conduct rigorous engineering testing and verification, and the current XNGP has completed road verification and measured a mileage of 3.7 million+ kilometers (including high-speed). In addition, the R&D team will also conduct end-to-end verification for each line of changes and model upgrades. At present, the cumulative mileage has exceeded 1500 million kilometers, including 16,000+ core simulation scenarios and 40,000+ special simulation scenarios. With the continuous efforts of "sticking to the bottom line", in 2023, the average accident rate per million kilometers of Xpeng car owners will be about one-tenth of that of manual driving, which greatly improves driving safety.
At the same time, the continuous iteration of intelligent driving has also quickly brought about a "more and more user-friendly" user experience. Taking the high-speed scenario as an example, since the launch of the new generation of high-speed NGP, the number of passive takeovers per 1,000 kilometers is only 05 times, the average speed of the passage is increased by 13% compared with the previous generation version, which has brought a great improvement in both ease of use and traffic efficiency. XNGP City Test Drive Although it was launched not long ago, it was launched from XMART OS 44.Version 0 is beta tested to XMART OS 45.0 full release, in 70 days, the R&D team has accumulated 271 internal iterations, with an average of 3The 87 version quickly solves all kinds of problems with super rapid growth. He Xiaopeng said that in the future, the takeover rate of XNGP is expected to be further reduced, and the goal is to achieve less than 1 passive takeover per 1,000 kilometers in the core area, improve traffic efficiency, make the efficiency of intelligent driving infinitely close to human driving, and improve the processing ability of XNGP in various abnormal traffic scenarios, so that the use experience of intelligent driving has been greatly improved. In the next step, Xpeng Motors will realize the full on-board of the end-to-end large model, and the travel experience in the core area will be benchmarked against Waymo.
Intelligent driving, which is available in all areas and is getting easier and easier to use, of course, users will love to use it more. In 2023, the user penetration rate of Xpeng users for high-speed intelligent driving will be 947%, and the user penetration rate of urban smart driving is 832%, the average weekly user penetration rate of XNGP is 71%, and the average weekly mileage penetration rate is 40% (including high-speed and urban scenarios), which fully shows that high-level intelligent driving has become an indispensable way and habit for Xpeng users to travel. In September 2023, Xpeng launched the G6 million kilometers intelligent driving journey campaign, and with the active participation of G6 car owners, it won the Guinness World Record - "the most intelligent driving promotion activities participated by car owners in one month". This is the first time in China to create a successful Guinness World Record in the form of intelligent driving by real car owners on a single model. In the end, 7,830 G6 car owners participated in the event, clocked in 274 cities across the country, with a total mileage of 37,137,480 kilometers and a total mileage of 10,145,845 kilometers, which is equivalent to 253 laps around the earth.
Open the first year of smart driving migration, Xiaopeng really smart driving, and the Spring Festival will not close.
At the press conference, He Xiaopeng and Li Rui, the "chief communication officer" of Xiaopeng Motors, jointly launched a smart driving travel experience sharing activity with major stores of Xpeng Motors across the country, opening the first year of smart driving migration in 2024. During the event, Xpeng Motors will select all the high-quality content shared by the intelligent driving participants, covering multiple platforms such as Douyin and Weibo, and finally select lucky users to give away surprise prizes - with the well-known host "Village Chief" Li Rui, they will travel to Chimelong with the well-known host "Village Chief", visit and experience the Xiaopeng Huitian flying car, etc. From February 1st to February 25th, there are gifts for checking in and test driving to experience the latest smart driving features(Note: Please contact the Xpeng Motors sales store for details).
Li Rui, the "chief communication officer" of Xpeng Motors, said excitedly that Xpeng Motors' investment in intelligent driving is firm and fruitful, especially at the Xpeng X9 launch conference on January 1 this year, he also witnessed the exciting moment of the "explosive full" of XNGP 243 City. He said that the progress of intelligent driving makes it easier for people to commute or travel far away, and it is touching and admirable to leave more of the beauty of the journey to themselves and their families. He Xiaopeng said that as a leading brand of smart electric vehicles, Xpeng Motors will continue to optimize the user's car experience through vehicle OTA. In the Spring Festival of 2024, users across the country can use more smart driving to travel, return to their hometowns or visit the magnificent mountains and rivers, and are eagerly looking forward to seeing everyone's wonderful sharing.
