highway tests
XPeng Inc. (“XPeng” or the “Company”, NYSE: XPEV), a leading
Chinese smart electric vehicle (“Smart EV”) company, unveiled the
beta version of its NGP (Navigation Guided Pilot) highway
autonomous driving solution this week in a series of media road
tests in Guangzhou. The Company plans to launch the widely
anticipated NGP function, a key part of its XPILOT 3.0 autonomous
driving package, to customers in China in the next few weeks.

XPeng’s NGP highway navigation function conducts automatic
navigation assisted driving from point A to B based on the
navigation route set by the driver. Upon its launch, it will be
implemented on the Premium version of the XPeng P7 with the XPILOT
3.0 system.
With over a million meters of road tests, the NGP covers a wider
range of driving scenarios and situations, with a higher lane
change success rate, and lower driver intervention requirement,
than similar functions in other models on the market.
The NGP beta version was well received by over 100 journalists
who participated in the test drives in China this week.
Currently, the XPeng P7 is China’s only mass production car with
360-degree dual camera and radar fusion perception system for added
safety. The new NGP function will make highway driving a safer,
smoother, easier and more pleasant experience by automatically
performing speed limit adjustment, automatic switching to highways,
optimized lane choices, automatic entering and exiting ramps, and
automatic overtaking.
XPeng’s NGP solution has been specifically created and tailored
for China’s complex driving environment. Its full-scenario
high-definition positioning capability solves HD-map positioning
challenges for China’s highly complex road conditions, including
areas with no GPS signals. It can identify and avoid traffic cones,
warn of difficult situations such as construction sites or road
toll entrances, follow on automatically in traffic jams, avoid
breakdown vehicles, change lanes to avoid emergencies, avoid large
trucks, and warn drivers of when to resume manual control in
dangerous situations such as adverse weather or road accidents.
This is enabled by the P7’s underlying autonomous driving
architecture, the most powerful in production vehicles in China,
with 14 cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors,
centimeter-level high-definition positioning, decimeter-level
AutoNavi high-definition mapping, NVIDIA Xavier system-on-the-chip
computing platform, and Bosch iBooster brake system.
The NGP highway solution will be launched via an OTA
(over-the-air) upgrade to XPeng customers in China before the
Chinese New Year in February.
