Recently, He Xiaopeng went to the United States to attend a conference and experienced Tesla's FSD V12.3.6 version and Google's Waymo autonomous driving in San Francisco, California Expressway and urban areas respectively. After a few experiences, some feelings are summarized.
First, the overall feeling is relatively silky, but there are also bugs. When experiencing Tesla FSD, driving straight, turning left, turning right, giving way to pedestrians, and detouring vehicles parked on the side of the road are relatively smooth and silky, with fewer pauses and hesitations, which is indeed very similar to that of an old driver. However, during the experience, I also encountered inexplicable bugs, such as a hesitant pause at a bifurcation intersection, which lasted about three or four hundred milliseconds. There is also a sudden slowdown and parking during normal driving, no longer moving forward, but has not yet reached the set navigation destination, He Xiaopeng was still boasting just now, and it was more embarrassing. After turning off the navigation, the owner started to drive again, but he drove on the road without a purpose, and he didn't know where he would drive, so he had to reset the navigation to continue the experience test.
Second, the advantages and disadvantages of Tesla's FSD autonomous driving and Google's Waymo autonomous driving. According to He, he believes that Waymo performs better in downtown San Francisco, while Tesla's FSD performs very well in Silicon Valley and at High Speed. In fact, Google Waymo autonomous driving has been used in San Francisco for many years and is very familiar with the road conditions in San Francisco, so He Xiaopeng feels that Waymo has a better experience in San Francisco.
Third, which is better, Tesla FSD or Xpeng XNGP. Netizens left a message for He Xiaopeng asking which is stronger, Tesla's FSD or Xiaopeng Motors' XNGP, He Xiaopeng did not answer positively, only said that Xiaopeng's staff are already editing the video of this experience, and they will share it with everyone soon. In fact, who is better, He Xiaopeng has hinted above, He Xiaopeng said: "We will also learn from FSD their excellent and functional points and user experience parts."
