Fast Technology reported on November 14.
Today, Xiaopeng Automobile announced that the crowdfunding of Xiaopeng P7 smart cockpit chips has been completed and research and development work will be started immediately.
This is also the industry’s first successful case of crowdfunding of car chips.
Xiaopeng Automobile said that the chip renewal of the old car owner started at 12:00 on November 11.
After three days, with the support of 4000 Xiaopeng P7 users, the crowdfunding goal was reached at 18:03 tonight.
The price of chip renewal is as follows: , The cockpit chip renewal is 4999 yuan, upgraded from 820A to 8295 chip, the memory has been increased to 16G, the boot speed has been increased by three times, and the smoothness of the vehicle has been increased by two times.
, The smart driving chip is revitalized at 19999 yuan, realizing the upgrade from single Orin to dual Orin, and the smart driving computing power has jumped to 508TOPS.
, 
, in response to the reasons for crowdfunding by model, Xiaopeng Automobile said that after some old users put forward demands for chip upgrades, the company has done a lot of technical and commercial evaluation and demonstration work.
The crowdfunding method by model is adopted because the hardware upgrades of smart driving and smart cabins require high research and development costs, including the redesign and development of related controllers, the adaptation of smart driving and vehicle software systems, and software and hardware integration testing and R & D investment such as vehicle testing.
This upgrade project requires a total investment of 10 months (300 person-months) and 9 million yuan in research and development expenses.
, Xiaopeng Automobile emphasized that the crowdfunding model allows users to place orders first and then start research and development after reaching a certain number.
It can provide users with a more efficient channel to express their demands and reverse drive to improve research and development efficiency.
Therefore, Xiaopeng is willing to bear part of the cost to reduce user pricing.
