He Xiaopeng, chairman and CEO of Xpeng Motors, today shared a video on Weibo about the test drive experience of its autonomous driving system XNGP in the upcoming XOS 5.2.0 version, which follows his previous experience with FSD and Waymo systems in the United States.
In the video, He Xiaopeng and Li Liyun, the leader of Xpeng's autonomous driving, jointly conducted an in-depth experience in the complex and changeable narrow alleys, roundabouts and other challenging road sections in the urban area of Guangzhou. He spoke highly of the significant improvement in driving smoothness of the new version, especially when dealing with scenarios such as U-turns, roundabouts and crossing narrow roads, showing better performance than the previous version, and highly praised the excellent work of the Xpeng intelligent driving team. At the same time, he also put forward suggestions for further optimization to Li Liyun, especially when driving around the island, hoping that the system can make more intelligent route selection.
"These two in-depth side-by-side comparison experiences have greatly strengthened my confidence that autonomous driving and even autonomous driving technology can be realized faster in the future." He Xiaopeng said. He emphasized that Xpeng Motors and Tesla are the only two manufacturers with end-to-end autonomous driving solutions in the market, and said that Xpeng Motors, as a leader in China's autonomous driving field, is very much looking forward to Tesla's FSD system entering China, so that the two sides can learn from each other in different road conditions and jointly promote technological progress.
Previously, Sawyer Merritt, a well-known American Tesla investor and electric vehicle analyst, disclosed He Xiaopeng's test of Tesla's FSD on his personal social media, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk commented: "At present, Chinese automakers are the most competitive. ”
