“Our strong technological R&D capabilities allow us to
fulfill customer needs with innovations,” said He Xiaopeng,
Chairman & CEO of XPENG, at the 2022 Tech Day. “Driven by our
vision of ‘tech for the greater good’ and customers’ evolving
demands, we continue to reach technical breakthroughs and set new
industry benchmarks. Our staunch IP also provides significant
barriers to entry, propelling our considerable head start. Each
component we originate for our mobility ecosystem strengthens our
proprietary platform and competitive advantage, while providing a
springboard for our significant future growth.”
“Our rollout of City NGP (Navigation Guided Pilot) pilot program
in September represented a decisive milestone in the second half of
the race to the autonomous driving end-game,” Dr. Xinzhou Wu, Vice
President of Autonomous Driving of XPENG, commented. “Enhancing
customer experience through innovation is our ultimate goal. We are
implementing the most advanced driver assistance in mass-produced
vehicles in complex urban driving environments, a huge leap forward
as we work to build our autonomous driving capabilities. The
underlying strength of this holistic platform will support our
exponential growth, anticipated in the next phase of the race.”
XNGP, China’s most advanced driver assistance covering all
scenarios, non-reliant on maps
Introduced at the Flagship SUV G9 launch in September, XNGP is
designed to be XPENG’s last step before full autonomous driving is
realized, offering advanced driver assistance in the full spectrum
of driving scenarios from highways and carparks to complex city
roads and urban expressways. XNGP also achieved a technological
breakthrough in expanding it to areas not covered by high-precision
maps, nationwide.
XNGP is supported by significant hardware upgrades, including
508 TOPS of computing power, dual-LiDAR system, 8-megapixel HD
cameras and a new software architecture XNet, backed by a
closed-loop, self-evolving AI and data system.
XNet, XPENG’s next-generation neural network-based perception
architecture
XPENG unveiled its next-generation neural network-based software
architecture XNet on Tech Day. Different from the
first-generation visual perception architecture, XNet adopts an
in-house developed deep neural network for visual recognition with
human-like decision making capabilities, drawing from multiple
cameras’ data. The neural network technology supersedes complicated
manual processing logic to achieve a self-evolving data-driven
algorithm.
XPENG’s XNet-empowered autonomous driving technical stack is
backed by Fuyao, China’s largest supercomputing center for
autonomous driving. Supported by Alibaba Cloud’s intelligent
computing platform, supercomputing capability at Fuyao can reach
600PFLOPS, increasing the training efficiency of autonomous driving
model by over 600 times. That’s to say, time spent can be reduced
from 276 days to 11 hours for a model training.
With state-of-the-art deployment optimization, XNet uses only 9%
of Orin-X chip’s processing power, compared with 122% before
optimization.
Closed-loop self-evolving AI and data platform for autonomous
driving
XPENG has established China’s first fully closed-loop autonomous
driving data system, encompassing data collection, labeling,
training and deployment. Supported by a full auto-labeling system
(able to complete 2,000 people/year's labeling work in 16.7 days),
and Fuyao’s supercomputing capability, every detected corner case
can be addressed by utilizing a targeted data collection approach
to acquire a massive amount of training data from its mass-produced
vehicle fleet.
XPENG’s high-efficient AI capabilities enable consistent and
unsupervised machine leaning and rapid iterations in training
models, resolving over 1,000 rare corner cases each year. This
highly efficient closed-loop AI and data system has helped reducing
incident rate for the Highway NGP by 95%.
XPENG robotaxi development achieves a milestone, obtaining
Intelligent Connected Vehicle Road Test permit
XPENG’s G9 SUV became China’s first mass-produced commercial
vehicle to pass the government-led Autonomous Driving Closed-field
Test, a major step forward in XPENG’s robotaxi development. The
test was completed in accordance with the requirements of the
autonomous driving function test for intelligent connected vehicles
in Guangzhou, a tier-one city in China.
“Obtaining the road test permit by our mass-produced commercial
vehicles - with no retrofit - is a major achievement,” said Dr. Wu
on Tech Day. “Our platform-based robotaxi development aims to
generate significant cost benefits, and ensure product quality,
safety and user experience.”
The industry’s most advanced in-car voice system available
for all future users
XPENG is the automotive industry’s first brand to utilize
in-house developed underlying voice technologies, and first to
incorporate Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) multi-zone
technology for its new generation of in-car voice system.
XPENG’s all-scenario voice system 2.0 version, unveiled earlier,
recognizes commands from every passenger in the cabin and
understand instructions across multiple streams of conversations
with an accuracy rate that exceeds 96%. Capable of responding to
instructions without an activation command or even internet
connection, the voice system 2.0 performs takes less than one
second from command receipt to execution, delivering interface
feedback in 245ms and voice feedback in less than 700ms.
XPENG will make its industry’s first whole-car, always-on voice
system as standard on all new vehicles in China.
The world’s first eVToL displays upgraded design, completing
maiden flight
XPENG unveiled the latest version of the world’s first
full-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVToL) flying car,
developed by its ecosystem affiliate XPENG AEROHT. Optimized from
last year’s horizontal dual-rotor structure to a new distributed
multi-rotor configuration, the overall system design complexity has
also been reduced to further enhance flight safety and reliability.
The test vehicle of the new flying car has successfully completed
its maiden flight as well as multiple single-motor failure
tests.
In driving mode, it is comparable with any conventional car in
terms of functionality and measurement. In flight mode, the flying
car is piloted using the steering wheel and the right-hand gear
lever as controls to move forward and backward, make turns, ascend,
hover and descend.
AI-powered robot features enhanced design, sophisticated
structure
XPENG is leveraging its AI capabilities to empower robotic
intelligence. Its equine robot prototype has been upgraded with a
new design to better support multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) motion,
and locomotion capabilities.
The new design also features a more sophisticated mechanical
structure with higher transmission efficiency, a stronger robot
actuator, a high-end auto-grade computing platform, and battery and
thermal management system. Its motion control system has been
significantly upgraded to better adapt with complex indoor and
outdoor terrain conditions such as stairs, steep slopes and gravel
roads.
