The performance of XPeng’s newly released autonomous driving
assistance function - Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP) - will be fully
tested in 3,145 km of highway driving, starting from Guangzhou, all
the way north to Beijing.
The Xpeng P7 Premium version, equipped with XPILOT 3.0 which
supports the NGP function, will be driven by members of the media
and third parties during the 7-day drive expedition, the longest
driving challenge to date for an autonomous driving assistance
function in mass-produced models in China.
The total distance of 3,675 km consists of about 3,145 km of
highways, where the key functionalities and reliability of the NGP,
including automatic highway ramp entering and exiting, automatic
switching of highways and optimization of lane choices, automatic
lane changing, overtaking and speed limit adjustment, will be fully
tested by the press and third parties. The frequency of human
driver intervention, and the success rate for the functions listed
above, are among the key indicators to be tested in these
sophisticated driving scenarios on China’s highways.
Over the course of 7 days, the fleet of P7s will drive across 10
cities in China in six provinces, starting from Guangzhou, to
Shantou, Quanzhou, Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Qingdao,
Jinan, finishing in Beijing.
The professional team of media representatives and third party
experts will choose different highway routes based on their
preferences, to cover a wide range of driving scenarios.
NGP provides navigation assisted autonomous driving from point A
to B, based on the navigation route set by the driver, and is
available on highways covered by high-precision maps in China.
Since the NGP’s launch on 26 Jan this year, over 1 million km
mileage has been driven under the NGP by XPeng P7 users in
China.
