At this Guangzhou Auto Show, we saw this new product on the stand of Xpeng Motors:
To discuss the Xpeng motor with strong Internet genes since its birth, we should start from the performance and from the perspective of enthusiasts. At the press conference, He Xiaopeng described the exploration of Xpeng Motors in the field of autonomous driving, which will greatly upgrade the software and hardware of autonomous driving, aiming at creating a hardware system with "the strongest hardware redundancy design in history" and a software architecture that can form a fully closed loop of data and algorithms and support rapid functional iteration.
High integration of control domains: At the moment of high integration and modularization, it is a better scheme to break the interaction barrier between domains and realize high intelligent integration, regardless of economy, stability, lightweight or efficiency. Tucki has realized the 4-in-1 1 integration of driving and parking intelligent control in XPU automatic driving intelligent control unit; It not only greatly improves the decision-making and execution efficiency of the control unit, but also effectively reduces the weight of the system by streamlining the number of controllers and wiring harnesses, and controls the car purchase cost of users on the premise of adding new functions.
Power upgrade: As the first production car equipped with Xavier computing platform in China, Tucki P7 is equipped with NVIDIA? DRIVETM？ AGX？ Xavier autopilot computing platform, its XPILOT3.0 computing platform and XPILOT2.0 computing platform are completely independent and redundant in hardware. However, the improvement of the overall computing power 10 times announced on the spot will realize the leap of computing power from hundreds of trillion times per second to hundreds of trillion times per second, and also reserve rich space for the improvement of computing power to support a higher level of high-performance computing platform with automatic driving function. However, there is no exact official news to reveal whether it is a new version after evolution or an extension and upgrade of XPILOT3.0.
High-precision positioning upgrade: this is one of the heavy news that Xpeng Automobile threw at this auto show-RTK terminal was upgraded from 4G to 5G. After the popularity of news simulcast for so long, the absolute advantage of 5G in speed is well known. It adopts "IMU+GNSS+RTK(5G)+ high precision & (high speed & city), which can achieve centimeter-level high precision and millisecond-level low delay. This means that the sorry sound of "your location signal is weak and the navigation update is delayed" and the anxiety that comes with it will no longer exist. More than 97.5% of expressway+urban road coverage will cover the original difficult signal shielding scenes including high-rise buildings and underground parking lots, which has super stability.
Improve the ability of perception fusion: it is often the finale that is the most important-when it was announced at the scene that Xpeng Motors will carry lidar on the production car for the first time.
Only when the "lidar" came out, it caused a sensation on and off the court, and even alarmed Tesla, the big boss who was still in isolation for illness. Musk, who made a statement through intensive interaction with netizens, has many derogatory terms. As a group of people who eat melons, when this luxury steak set meal suddenly falls from the sky, they will not let it go. Just before lifting the knife and fork, you need to know the position of both sides of the game-
Tucki believes that the highly integrated perception of vision+millimeter wave radar+ultrasonic sensor+vehicle-mounted laser radar can greatly improve the detection performance of targets, especially the horizontal and vertical position accuracy, spatial resolution and measurement resolution, and most importantly, it can make its perception ability unaffected by ambient light.
However, in addition to consistent intellectual property rights, one of the bombardments there is that it is not cost-effective to equip production vehicles with lidar! As for the reason, in fact, as early as Elon? Musk was amazing at the time: "Yes? Is it funny? Would you? I saw it. " ? At that time, we had a round of in-depth onlookers: Should Musk's lidar really be changed? If you are interested, you can click on the link to browse, and then you can know the station Elon? Musk's views are actually many.
And if you want to support and oppose the number of people, it is obvious that laser Darpa is more dominant. After all, look around, from Waymo to Huawei, from BMW to Ford Argo? AI, even Apple, which has closed its doors to practice, and high-tech travel companies such as Israel and Russia, which are doing research and development, except the ones we named above, almost all the test vehicles of the fully automatic driving corps are equipped with rotating lidar.
So, Musk? Is Diss the technology itself "ridiculous"? This may not be the case. After all, he is also honest in the interaction of netizens:
Perhaps we can see the reason why this is not worth it from the current price of automotive laser radar. As early as 20 17, we discussed in "You are my eye, so please be cheaper" that a laser radar with tens of thousands of dollars at a time enters mass production and assembly. Compared with the safety of its production, it can really ask questions like the soul of Musk.
Waymo's lidar laser? Bear? Beehive?
Three years later, according to Moore's law, the performance of lidar has been rising, and the price has also declined to some extent, but the decline is not satisfactory; Realizable 95 produced by Waymo Vertical field of view lidar laser? Bear? Beehive? For example, the current price is still 7500 dollars. However, this summer, Huawei announced that it would quickly develop a 100 line lidar at a cost of 100 USD. Although I don't know whether the laser radar that Tucki is about to enter mass production is developed in cooperation with Huawei, the "competition" in the global industry is quite worth shouting for.
However, at the press conference, even when He introduced the above-mentioned bomb-level performance bonus, people's eyes couldn't leave the scene of a super-flashing green Tucki P7, which was the P7 Peng Yi version specially launched by Xpeng at this auto show. With regard to Tucki P7, we have made several test drive reports, from appearance to driving experience, from in-vehicle system to music cockpit, and so on. We can find P7? The difference between the Peng Yi version:
colour
According to the official information of Tucki, in order to bring up the middle stage, it is better than Porsche 9 1 1? Speedster？ Lizard green is also a dangerous and subtle super flash green. Tucki cooperated with BASF, the world's top pigment supplier, to customize it. In the development process, after numerous experiments and numerous combinations, this highly recognizable green color was finally achieved. If there is no accident, this slightly fluorescent green is likely to become the new favorite of girls' accessories or nail polish next summer. And if you don't like such high-profile publicity, there are Tianchen Grey and Obsidian Rihong to choose from.
door
You can tell from the name that this P7 special edition is not that simple. Sure enough, when the scissor door rises slowly, this new car is already gorgeous.
However, if you have played the super run of Scissors Gate or watched the videos of other senior Tik Tok players, you will know that Scissors Gate is the coolest first, but it is not very friendly to girls with long arms and weak arms. But at P7? Peng Yi version does not have this kind of embarrassment. After all, as an intelligent cockpit that pays great attention to experience, Tucki has prepared seven opening modes for you, namely, key opening outside the vehicle, Bluetooth /NFC digital key unlocking outside the vehicle, APP control opening outside the vehicle, large-screen touch opening inside the vehicle, voice control opening inside the vehicle, door handle opening inside the vehicle and door panel button opening inside the vehicle, so as to obtain this electric scissor door with electric attraction.
In addition, this pair of Peng Yimen also supports custom switching angles, and the switching control accuracy is 5%. In other words, you can customize it according to the width of the parking space. For example, in the open space, you can set up a Dapeng bright wing door, and the gas field is fully open, becoming the most beautiful child on this street; At the same time, dare to enter a relatively narrow parking space and get on and off easily with even smaller space than a flat push door. Moreover, in order to prevent the embarrassment of failure in playing handsome, Peng Yimen is also equipped with 1 obstacle avoidance radar on the left and right sides, which can automatically identify obstacles and control the door to avoid obstacles during the opening process, and continue to open the door normally after the obstacles are cleared. If you use it well, you can also bring the stop-motion function of the protagonist's aura to make the appearance with BGM more cool.
Not only that, in order to increase P7? Peng Yi version of the playability, Xpeng Motors also comes standard with XPILOT? 3.0? Hardware, software and upgrade services of the automatic driving assistance system, as well as 18 speaker's Dana cinema-class audio system, and exclusive rights of 14 including motor lifetime warranty, power battery lifetime warranty, traffic upgrade, music VIP lifetime free, and giving away electric tailgate. It is fully satisfied from the perspectives of vision, hearing, touch and even taste and smell. And all this is not the most exciting thing for adrenaline. Until I saw this super-running-class special edition P7 with high performance of four-wheel drive and long endurance of rear drive, the national suggested retail price after comprehensive subsidy was 366,900-409,900. Did I already have the impulse to double 1 1 chop hands? After all, it should be the dream of all older children to have a scissor door car with an acceleration of 4 seconds and 6 seconds respectively.
From the flying machine of Chengdu Auto Show to the super-running of scissor door of Guangzhou Auto Show in February, Xpeng continues to contribute surprise gifts. What kind of addition Xpeng Motors will have at the 202 1 Shanghai Auto Show five months later is worth looking forward to.
