Today is the annual 1024, which is programmer’s Day.
1024 is one of the most important days for Xiaopeng.
In previous years, Xiaopeng would hold a science and technology conference in 1024 to show the technological progress in the past year, as well as the future technology planning and deployment.
It can be said that 1024 belongs to their “Science and Technology Spring Festival Gala.
” But this morning, Xiaopeng announced that this year’s 1024 will be fully upgraded to Xiaopeng AI Science and Technology Day.
In fact, since last year, 1024 of attention has been slowly weakened, and it is not that Xiao Peng’s technology is not heavy enough.
On the contrary, Xiaopeng’s technology iteration and the development progress of the industry have far reached the new level, and the “annual” press conference has been unable to meet the communication needs of automobile companies.
Against this background, Xiaopeng made it clear today that “if you don’t talk about technology, you will talk about product experience and function upgrading.” 5.4.0 what is the big content, this upgrade covers four sections, namely, the smart car, the brain module, the chassis and the interconnection.
Let’s take a look at the big content of this upgrade.
First of all, there is a brand new end-to-end smart car.
It can be predicted that starting from Xiaopeng P7 +, Xiaopeng will completely abandon the lidar and land the urban smart car with the scheme of main vision.
One of the advantages of cutting off the expensive configuration of lidar is that the hardware can be unified.
On this basis, Xiaopeng software is standard, neither subscribing nor optional, let alone Pro and Max.
All departments are equipped with high-end smart cars.
While canceling the lidar, Xiaopeng also has some new plans in visual technology.
For example, this set of AI Hawkeye Vision launched the LOFIC architecture scheme, which can make up for the performance of vision in dim light, backlight and large light difference environment.
The visual perception range of this framework has reached 1.
8 standard football fields, and it can clearly distinguish color, text and other semantic information.
The AI Eagle Eye Vision solution will be launched on Xiaopeng P7 + and will be synchronized in the whole series of models.
Li Liyun said: “only with the ability can a set of intelligent driving software be equipped with the whole car system as standard.
” For the research and development and mass production of smart cars, the more types of models covered, the higher the richness of data collection, but the greater the challenge.
Only the car companies with strong platform, automation and engineering system capabilities can achieve a set of software standard whole car system.
After getting rid of the lidar, Xiaopeng also became the second car company in China to land in the city with the main vision plan after Ji Yue.
But Li Liyun put it more absolutely, saying: “only Xiaopeng and Tesla can do this.
They can use a set of software to make it easy to open the world without relying on high-precision maps or lidar.
” With the development of smart car to the era of end-to-end large model, the importance of data has become more and more prominent.
At today’s press conference, Xiaopeng also announced that the computing power of Xiaopeng cloud will reach more than 10EFlops in 2025.
As a reference, at the previous conference of Wisdom R7, Yu Chengdong called Huawei’s current cloud computing power 7.
5EFLOPS.
With regard to the performance of 5.4.0, Li Liyun said that the biggest change brought about by this version is the “anthropomorphic” performance of smart driver.
compared with the previous version, its success rate of lane change and detour has increased by 53% and 155% respectively.
Before this press conference, we also test-drove this brand-new system in Guangzhou, and its performance is really much better than the previous version, especially the enthusiasm of lane change and game interaction.
At 10: 00 a.m. on the last day of this month, our Super out-of-the-box program will release a test drive video, which you are welcome to watch.
He Xiaopeng himself tested the system before the press conference and set some small goals: after the big version 5.
4, there will be two big versions, 5.
6and 5.
8respectively.
Xiaopeng’s goal is to have the ability of Standard Tesla FSD12.
8 in version 5.8. The upgrade of intelligence module and interconnection is relatively speaking to improve the detailed experience.
For example, this time Xiaopeng launched a function that can add to the sense of atmosphere-the space-time light and shadow display system.
For example, the top of the SR displays the corresponding animation according to the environment and weather, and this is strongly bound to the orientation of the vehicle.
For example, when you drive westward in the evening, the SR will appear sunset and will not appear in any other direction.
In order to do a good job in this system, Xiaopeng team made 318 adjustments and 156 visual color adjustments.
Yu Tong, who is in charge of Xiaopeng’s car intelligent experience, joked that everyone said that technology is straight, and now steel straight men have also been rolled out of the art cell.
In terms of AI interconnection, Xiaopeng AI Tianji 5.4.0 version launched the interconnection of HiCar and Carlink for the first time, and Android and Hongmeng can realize the interconnection of hand cars.
In the previous version, Xiaopeng implemented Apple SIRI control of the car, which adds the ecological interconnection of Android and Hongmeng.
The mobile phone can act as the editor of the car in the future, and the big screen of the car is the ecological expansion of the mobile phone, which optimizes the driver’s interconnected experience in the static scene.
Another upgrade is the smart chassis that everyone is emphasizing.
Xiaopeng has two key points in this upgrade.
First of all, Xiaopeng launched the X-Pedal single pedal mode in version 5.4.0. Friends who are familiar with Xiaopeng may know that Xiaopeng’s X-Pedal pedal did not have a stop mode in the past.
When the user tries to slow down by releasing the throttle, the vehicle will release the brake when it reaches a certain speed.
If the user wants to stop completely, he needs to make up the brake.
This upgrade has finally brought the stop mode single pedal that many users like, and the vehicle will automatically activate Auto Hold while automatically braking, which can also increase the CLTC range by up to 7km.
Another point is the optimization of the speed reducer.
The AI chassis can actively sense the road conditions and better deal with all kinds of bumpy road conditions.
Here, the optimization of the speed bump is emphasized.
This function is similar to the hot “road preview” in the industry.
through sensors such as cameras, the system can adjust the chassis in advance to improve overall comfort when it senses that there is a deceleration zone ahead.
In the end, when Yu Tong, head of Xiaopeng Automobile Intelligent experience, reviewed Xiaopeng’s OTA this year, I suddenly found that Xiaopeng has been updated once or twice a month since May this year, and a major version has been updated every quarter.
This is not an easy task.
In the past, we talked about the development of self-driving is “climbing Mount Everest and laying eggs along the way”.
The same is true of building a real smart car.
Through each OTA, improve and enhance the user experience.
In the past year, Xiaopeng has done a lot of great things.
He abandoned Gao Jing Map last year.
Lidar was abandoned in 1999, and the cost of intelligent driving went down and the experience went up.
At the same time, Xiaopeng seems to be reluctant to talk about technology.
The AI Day in May this year and today’s 1024 lack some hard-core science and engineering masculinity, emphasizing more product experience and optimization.
We hope that on November 6, Xiaopeng will once again bring us a “Technology Spring Festival Gala” in the automobile industry.
