On July 29, He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xpeng Motors, "spoiled" the 3D rendered map of MONA M03 on Weibo, with the caption: "You may not think that the navigation map can be played like this." ”
It is understood that the MONA M03 of Xpeng Motors is a car positioned as an A-class intelligent pure electric hatchback coupe. On June 7 this year, the "Xiaopeng MONA" Weibo account officially announced the MONA series: "Made of new AI, Xiaopeng MONA is here!" On July 3, the Xpeng MONA series made its world debut, claiming to create a "good-looking" and "interesting" coupe model for young people, with a price of less than 200,000 yuan.
He Xiaopeng said that from the perspective of the industry, most of the cars below 200,000 have spent very little effort on color and paint, and they look very simple, but Xiaopeng is using a unified design standard that far exceeds 200,000 to consider the color of MONA M03, with the coupe shape.

On July 29, He Xiaopeng showed a 3D rendered map of MONA M03 on Weibo. Through the display, it is not difficult to see that unlike the navigation maps of the current cars on the market, the 3D stereoscopic map provided by MONA M03 is more refined and realistic. "When you drive past the Bird's Nest at night, the Bird's Nest will really be brightly lit and appear on your car screen, and you can't tell the difference between dream and reality for a while." He Xiaopeng said.

A few days ago, He Xiaopeng also revealed the latest progress of Xiaopeng Motors' intelligent driving technology on Weibo, and talked about his views on the development trend of high-level autonomous driving.
"I am more and more convinced that the combination of end-to-end + large model can solve the software architecture of L2-L4." He Xiaopeng believes that there are different high-level autonomous driving solutions on the market. For example, in the era of "algorithm + rules", "high-definition map + AI + lidar + algorithm as a whole is the easiest to do, which is equivalent to having a 'God perspective' to guide how to drive, and the visual response efficiency is very high, but many areas cannot be opened, and a large number of rules are required." The whitelist without high-definition map + AI lidar + algorithm greatly increases the complexity, compared with the above, the area that can be opened has increased a lot, but a larger number of rules need to be made. ”
He Xiaopeng said that the complexity of the "end-to-end era" has been further increased. "Compared with the above schemes, there will be iteration of capabilities, and the ability that used to be easy to implement rules now requires a lot of work; In the past, it required a lot of special rules to adapt, but now it will be much easier. Overall, as Xpeng continues to deepen end-to-end, I am more and more convinced that the combination of end-to-end + large model can solve the software architecture of L2-L4, but it does require greater computing power and related hardware changes (for example, L4 needs more hardware redundancy). And the end-to-end is truly global, and it is the optimal solution for autonomous driving to the cell and all internal roads. ”
It is reported that on the evening of July 30, Xpeng Motors will hold a press conference on Xpeng Motors' AI intelligent driving technology. He Xiaopeng revealed that at the press conference on July 30, it will not only release the changes in China's intelligent driving capabilities, but also release the intelligent driving of more countries around the world for the first time.
"In the near future (within this year), we will also use OTA, ETC, community gates, internal roads (including various speed bumps), and even door-to-door autonomous driving services, all of which are based on today's capabilities. In this way, it can be opened all over the country, and even the whole world that we are working on. He Xiaopeng said.
