Recently, some Xiaopeng G3 owners said that they can’t use the auto-driving function in Beijing Chang’an Street, but they can use it after crossing the Guomao Bridge. Another owner said that the auto-driving function could not be used in some sections of Beijing-Guangzhou Expressway.
The owner guessed that the autopilot function could not be used on some sections, which may be related to the National Day.
On the above sections, the automatic driving function is limited. On September 24, the relevant person in charge of Xiaopeng Automobile told the Future Auto Daily (ID: auto-time) that Xiaopeng G3 currently has TJA Traffic Congestion Assistance + ICA Smart Cruise Assistance. The LCC lane centering aid for the full speed range available in both urban and high speeds is achieved. When the applicable speed range is extended, the road conditions and scenes that the user may use the LCC function are more abundant. However, due to the current complicated road conditions in China, the automatic driving function is only applicable to single-lane roads, closed expressways and elevated roads in cities, etc., and some sections of road sections cannot be used.
In the future, with the continuous improvement of ADAS MAP, the automatic driving assistance function of Xiaopeng Automobile will continue to improve in terms of usage and convenience.
In terms of the above-mentioned auto-driving function of some sections of Xiaopeng Automobile, an automatic driving expert in China said that automatic driving safety is the first priority. Pay special attention to this when guiding users to use it. Xiaopeng is doing this right.
For the expansion of future autopilot usage scenarios, he believes that the improvement in technology depends on algorithmic computational power and engineering capabilities, and on the other hand requires a large amount of sensor redundancy to provide more information.
“Xiaopeng’s data map is an advantage. Some static information can be stored in advance, and no need to dynamically identify it through technical means. This is the infrastructure necessary for realizing L4 level automatic driving in the future.” Say.
