Xpilot 3.5 will feature “City Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP)” and will only be available to drivers of Xpeng’s P5 family sedan, which can be built with lidar, millimeter-wave radar and a 3D visual perception network that can recognize, classify and position multiple targets – all of which is essential for city-level NGP.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车计划于 2022 年上半年向部分城市的驾驶员推出下一代 ADAS（名为 Xpilot）。Xpilot 3.5 将配备 “城市导航引导飞行员（NGP）”，仅适用于小鹏 P5 家族轿车的驾驶员，该轿车可配备激光雷达、毫米波雷达和 3D 视觉感知网络，可识别、分类和定位多个目标--所有这些都是城市级 NGP 所必需的。</blockquote></p><p> The last Xpilot version, 3.0, which was available to drivers of Xpeng’s P7 sedan, handled highway-level NGP, through which Xpeng was able to gather nearly 12 million kilometers, or 7.5 million miles, of data.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车 P7 轿车的驾驶员可以使用的最后一个 Xpilot 版本 3.0 处理了高速公路级 NGP，通过该版本，小鹏汽车能够收集近 1200 万公里（750 万英里）的数据。</blockquote></p><p> Xpilot 3.5 will have a strategic planning module with advanced prediction capabilities that uses a combination of rule-driven and data-driven AI to handle city scenarios, like avoiding static objects and vulnerable road users, as well as lane changing at any speed, according to Xpeng.</p><p><blockquote>Xpilot 3.5 将有一个战略规划模块，具有先进的预测功能，结合使用规则驱动和数据驱动的人工智能来处理城市场景，例如避开静态物体和脆弱的道路使用者，以及以任何速度变道。小鹏表示。</blockquote></p><p> Xpeng’s approach to reaching full autonomy is similar to Tesla’s, in that it aims to go through Level 2 autonomy, or ADAS systems, on its way to reaching Level 5. (SAE International describes Level 2 autonomy as a system that mainly has support features, like adaptive cruise control and brake support. It describes Level 5 autonomy a system that can drive anywhere under all conditions.) Last month,Tesla released a software update that allows customers to request access to its Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software. FSD includes capabilities like automatic lane change, moving into and out of parking spots and autosteering, which is currently not yet available for city streets. Tesla has given no date as to when it will bring this capability to cities, but it will be poweredusingonly vision and neural network processing.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车实现完全自动驾驶的方法与特斯拉类似，它的目标是在达到 5 级自动驾驶的过程中通过 2 级自动驾驶，即 ADAS 系统。（SAE International 将 Level 2 autonomy 描述为主要具有支持功能的系统，例如自适应巡航控制和制动支持。它将 Level 5 autonomy 描述为可以在任何条件下驾驶的系统。）上个月，特斯拉发布了软件更新，允许客户请求访问其完整的自动驾驶测试版 (FSD Beta) 软件。FSD 包括自动变道、进出停车位和自动转向等功能，这些功能目前还不适用于城市街道。特斯拉没有给出何时将这种功能引入城市的日期，但它将只使用视觉和神经网络处理。</blockquote></p><p> “Human-machine co-pilot functions will remain critical for the foreseeable future,” said XinZhou Wu, VP of autonomous driving at Xpeng, during the event. “Ourmission is to progressively transition from advanced driver assistance to full autonomous driving, with a clear roadmap to first completely connect all driving scenarios. Our closed-loop data operation, software iteration and mass production capability – all created in-house – put us in pole position to significantly improve safety and resolve the industry’s long-tail issues.”</p><p><blockquote>“小鹏汽车自动驾驶副总裁吴新洲在活动中表示：”在可预见的未来，人机副驾驶功能仍将至关重要。“我们的使命是从高级驾驶辅助逐步过渡到完全自动驾驶，并制定明确的路线图，首先将所有驾驶场景完全连接起来。我们的闭环数据运营、软件迭代和量产能力——所有这些都是内部创建的——使我们在显著提高安全性和解决行业长尾问题方面处于领先地位。”</blockquote></p><p> Just as Tesla charges for its FSD software, so does Xpeng for its Xpilot. Xpeng didn’t say how much version 3.5 would cost, but version 3.0 currently costs about $3,200 (RMB 20,000), which can be purchased outright or paid for via annual subscription, an Xpeng spokesperson told TechCrunch.</p><p><blockquote>正如特斯拉对其 FSD 软件收费一样，小鹏汽车也对其 Xpilot 收费。小鹏汽车发言人告诉 TechCrunch，小鹏汽车没有透露 3.5 版本的售价，但 3.0 版本目前的售价约为 3200 美元（2 万元人民币），可以直接购买，也可以通过年度订阅支付。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Xpilot 4.0 to provide full-scenario point-to-point ADAS</b></p><p><blockquote><b>Xpilot 4.0将提供全场景点对点ADAS</b></blockquote></p><p> Xpeng’s Xpilot 4.0, which is planned for a roll out in the first half of 2023, would give the startup an edge on its race to full autonomy. The plan is to be the first to deliver full-scenario assisted smart driving experiences, from turning the vehicle on to parking it and everything in between.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车的 Xpilot 4.0 计划于 2023 年上半年推出，这将使这家初创公司在全自动驾驶竞赛中占据优势。该计划旨在率先提供全场景辅助智能驾驶体验，从启动车辆到停车以及其间的一切。</blockquote></p><p> This version of Xpilot will require a lot of compute power, so Xpeng is building a hardware upgrade for version 4.0, “with 508 TOPS ECU compute power supported by two Orin-X autonomous driving System-on-the-Chip (SOC) units,8-million-pixel front-view binocular camera and 2.9-million-pixel side-view cameras (covering front, rear, left and right view), and a highly integrated and expandable domain controller,” the company said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>该版本的 Xpilot 将需要大量的计算能力，因此小鹏汽车正在为 4.0 版本进行硬件升级，“该公司在一份声明中说：”508 TOPS ECU 计算能力由两个 Orin-X 自动驾驶片上系统 (SOC) 单元、800 万像素前视双目摄像头和 290 万像素侧视摄像头（覆盖前、后、左、右视图）以及高度集成和可扩展的域控制器提供支持。</blockquote></p><p> A spokesperson for Xpeng told TechCrunch Xpilot 4.0 will not go into any of the automaker’s existing vehicles, but rather will end up in an as yet unannounced vehicle. It’s likely that this new model will be an SUV, says the spokesperson, but Xpeng hasn’t released any information about it so far.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车发言人告诉 TechCrunch，Xpilot 4.0 不会应用于该汽车制造商的任何现有车型，而是会应用于一款尚未公布的车型。发言人表示，这款新车型很可能是一款 SUV，但小鹏汽车目前尚未发布任何相关信息。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> By the end of next year, as Xpeng prepares to bring Xpilot 4.0 to market, the automaker aims to have 75 million miles of highway NGP driven and 22 million miles of city NGP driven, as well as a 90% penetration rate of its memory parking function, Valet Parking Assist (VPA).</p><p><blockquote>到明年年底，随着小鹏准备将Xpilot 4.0推向市场，该汽车制造商的目标是实现7500万英里的高速公路NGP驾驶和2200万英里的城市NGP驾驶，以及90%的渗透率其记忆停车功能代客泊车辅助（VPA）。</blockquote></p><p> Xpeng also stressed the importance of safety when churning out all of this ADAS, and smart driving is only one aspect of that. The startup announced an upgrade to its user interface and operating system. The Xmart OS 4.0 promises a detailed display complete with a 3D rendering of the environment surrounding the vehicle. The OS will roll out next year in new vehicle models, said Xiaopeng. Xpeng is also rolling out version 2.0 of its voice assistant, which it says can listen, process and execute at the same time, to help make rides smoother for drivers.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车在生产所有这些 ADAS 时还强调了安全的重要性，而智能驾驶只是其中的一个方面。这家初创公司宣布升级其用户界面和操作系统。Xmart OS 4.0承诺提供详细的显示，包括车辆周围环境的3D渲染。小鹏表示，该操作系统将于明年在新车型中推出。小鹏汽车还推出了2.0版本的语音助手，据称该助手可以同时收听、处理和执行，以帮助驾驶员更顺畅地驾驶。</blockquote></p><p> Finally, just as Tesla has released a safety score for drivers looking to test its FSD Beta software, and also get heaps of data for its budding insurance line, Xpeng is unleashing a safety test to help drivers understand the boundaries of the Xpilot before activating it. Drivers will receive a smart driving score before they are able to use Xpilot, and if the driver monitoring system finds them to be driving irresponsibly down the line, it will deduct points from their overall score and possibly revoke Xpilot access.</p><p><blockquote>最后，正如特斯拉为希望测试其 FSD Beta 软件的驾驶员发布了安全评分，并为其萌芽中的保险系列获取了大量数据一样，小鹏汽车正在发布一项安全测试，以帮助驾驶员在激活 Xpilot 之前了解其边界。驾驶员在能够使用Xpilot之前将收到一个智能驾驶分数，如果驾驶员监控系统发现他们不负责任地驾驶，它将从他们的总体分数中扣分，并可能撤销Xpilot访问权限。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Superchargers that give up to 125 miles range in five minutes</b></p><p><blockquote><b>增压器可在五分钟内行驶 125 英里</b></blockquote></p><p> If Xpeng wants to create the smart mobility ecosystem of the future, it needs to power it. The startup already has 1,648 free charging stations in its network and 439 branded supercharging stations throughout China, but during its Tech Day, Xpeng revealed plans to produce its next generation “X-Power” superchargers based on a 800V high-voltage mass-production Silicon Carbide charging platform.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏想要打造未来的智能出行生态，就需要赋能。这家初创公司的网络中已经有 1648 个免费充电站，在中国各地有 439 个品牌超级充电站，但在科技日活动上，小鹏汽车透露了基于 800V 高压量产碳化硅充电平台生产下一代 “X-Power ”超级充电站的计划。</blockquote></p><p> The X-Power chargers will be able to give EVs enough juice to go up to 200 kilometers, or 125 miles, in just five minutes, and an average of 30 vehicles can be charged on one supercharger at a time, says Xpeng. The startup is also planning to roll out lightweight 480 kW high-voltage supercharging piles, which come with Xpeng vehicles so owners can charge their cars, for the first time. In order to support this supercharging network, Xpeng says it will launch power storage facilities in both piles and mobile vehicles.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车表示，X-Power 充电器将能够为电动汽车提供足够的动力，在短短五分钟内行驶 200 公里（即 125 英里），平均一次可以为 30 辆汽车在一个增压器上充电。这家初创公司还计划首次推出小鹏汽车配备的轻质 480 kW 高压超级充电桩，以便车主可以为汽车充电。为了支持这个超级充电网络，小鹏汽车表示将在充电桩和移动汽车中推出储能设施。</blockquote></p><p> Xpeng did not share when this new charging tech will make it to market.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车没有透露这项新的充电技术何时上市。</blockquote></p><p> <b>A flying car that also drives</b></p><p><blockquote><b>一辆也能驾驶的飞行汽车</b></blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b979c843e4030acc9e66523d3ecf982\" tg-width=\"1500\" tg-height=\"843\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> At the event, Xpeng revealed its new goal to become the world’s top low-altitude manned flying vehicle manufacturer, in large part fueled by its mission to create itssixth generation flying car. But this is not just any flying car. This one will also be able to drive on the road.</p><p><blockquote>在活动上，小鹏汽车透露了其成为全球顶级低空载人飞行飞行器制造商的新目标，这在很大程度上得益于其打造第六代飞行汽车的使命。但这不仅仅是普通的飞行汽车。这一个也将能够在路上行驶。</blockquote></p><p> A video presented during the event showed a rendering of a very sexy looking car, even sexier than the Xpeng P7, that converts from a normal car to a flying car through a foldable rotor mechanism. Xpeng says the low-altitude flying vehicle will be 50% the weight of the P7 and be about 18 feet in length at first with plans to make it shorter eventually. It’ll have both a steering wheel for road operations as well as a single lever for flight modes.</p><p><blockquote>活动期间展示的一段视频显示了一辆看起来非常性感的汽车的渲染图，甚至比小鹏P7更性感，它通过可折叠的转子机构从普通汽车转换为飞行汽车。小鹏汽车表示，这款低空飞行飞行器的重量将是 P7 的 50%，最初长度约为 18 英尺，最终计划将其缩短。它既有用于公路操作的方向盘，也有用于飞行模式的单个操纵杆。</blockquote></p><p> The new flying car will also feature an advanced environmental perception system that can fully evaluate the surrounding environment and weather conditions to conduct safety assessments before take-off, says the company. The system will evaluate the data it picks up against driving objectives to ensure a safe take-off and landing, and during the flight the advanced perception and flight control algorithm will be used to avoid obstacles.</p><p><blockquote>该公司表示，新型飞行汽车还将配备先进的环境感知系统，可以充分评估周围环境和天气条件，以便在起飞前进行安全评估。该系统将根据驾驶目标评估其拾取的数据，以确保安全起飞和着陆，在飞行过程中，将使用先进的感知和飞行控制算法来避开障碍物。</blockquote></p><p> Xpeng is planning to begin mass production for this contraption, which is being developed by Xpeng affiliate urban air mobility (UAM) company HT Aero, as soon as 2024. The final design, which Xiaopeng said would be more understated than the current renderings, is to be decided sometime next year. The CEO also said Xpeng is aiming for the cost to be lower than $157,000 (RMB 1 million).</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车计划最早于 2024 年开始量产这种装置，该装置由小鹏汽车附属城市空中交通 (UAM) 公司 HT Aero 开发。小鹏表示，最终设计将比目前的效果图更加低调，将于明年某个时候决定。这位首席执行官还表示，小鹏汽车的目标是将成本降至15.7万美元（100万元人民币）以下。</blockquote></p><p> Last week, Xpeng led HT Aero’s $500 million Series A raise, and HT Aero has produced other UAM vehicles for Xpeng, most recently the Xpeng X2, which is Xpeng’s fifth gen flying car that can seat two people. A spokesperson from Xpeng told TechCrunch the sixth gen flying car will be built for similar city use cases, like going from the office to the airport, or other similar trips under 30 minutes of flight time. Xpeng’s philosophy is to sell direct to consumer, so it’ll be interesting to see how low-altitude air regulations shift to handle a rather fast go-to-market strategy. Xiaopeng said he hopes to work with regulators to get to a place where Xpeng can legally mass-produce flying cars for private use by 2024, but didn’t go into more detail.</p><p><blockquote>上周，小鹏汽车领投了 HT Aero 5 亿美元的 A 轮融资，HT Aero 还为小鹏汽车生产了其他 UAM 车辆，最近的是小鹏 X2，这是小鹏汽车的第五代飞行汽车，可容纳两人。小鹏汽车发言人告诉 TechCrunch，第六代飞行汽车将专为类似的城市用例而制造，例如从办公室前往机场，或飞行时间不到 30 分钟的其他类似旅行。小鹏汽车的理念是直接面向消费者销售，因此低空飞行法规如何转变以应对相当快的市场推广策略将是一件很有趣的事情。小鹏表示，他希望与监管机构合作，到 2024 年，小鹏汽车可以合法批量生产供私人使用的飞行汽车，但没有透露更多细节。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> <b>Riding the path to smart mobility on a robotic pony</b></p><p><blockquote><b>骑着机器人小马踏上智能移动之路</b></blockquote></p><p> Last month, Xpeng teased a pony-style robot that kids could ride and interact with. The quadruped would ideally be so perceptive that it would be able to detect human emotions. During its Tech Day, Xpeng went into further detail about how it foresees smart robots like this pony becoming an intelligent platform for an integrated smart mobility system that can address far more complex autonomy challenges than vehicles.</p><p><blockquote>上个月，小鹏汽车预告了一款小马风格的机器人，孩子们可以骑乘和互动。理想情况下，四足动物的感知能力非常强，能够察觉到人类的情绪。在技术日期间，小鹏汽车更详细地介绍了它如何预见像这匹小马这样的智能机器人将成为集成智能移动系统的智能平台，可以解决比车辆更复杂的自主挑战。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59684451aead23baad7064d5cba00d5a\" tg-width=\"1646\" tg-height=\"930\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Woman in office loads Xpeng robotic pony with treats to be delivered in a video presented during Xpeng’s 2021 Tech Day.</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>在小鹏汽车 2021 年科技日期间播放的一段视频中，办公室里的女人给小鹏汽车机器人小马装零食。</span></p></blockquote></p><p> And it’s not just for kids. During the presentation, Xpeng played a video demonstrating how the cute robotic pony could be used to deliver snacks and other parcels in an office setting – a nod to the horse’s historic role in mobility history to transport objects. (In that same video, Xpeng possibly teased another robotic animal that was also hanging out in the fictional office, and this one looked a bit like Xiaomi’s creepy robot dog.)</p><p><blockquote>这不仅仅是为了孩子们。在演示过程中，小鹏汽车播放了一段视频，演示了如何使用可爱的机器人小马在办公室环境中运送零食和其他包裹--这是对这匹马在移动史上运输物品的历史作用的认可。(在同一段视频中，小鹏汽车可能还调侃了另一只同样在虚构办公室里闲逛的机器人动物，而这只动物看起来有点像小米令人毛骨悚然的机器狗）。</blockquote></p><p> Xiaopeng said Xpeng is leaning towards creating a quadruped like a pony rather than a bipedal robot because four legs are more stable than two.During Tesla’s AI Day, the company announced its plans to create a bipedal humanoid robot to handle human tasks like grocery shopping.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏表示，小鹏汽车倾向于打造像小马一样的四足机器人，而不是两足机器人，因为四条腿比两条腿更稳定。在特斯拉的人工智能日活动上，该公司宣布计划制造一个双足人形机器人，以处理购物等人类任务。</blockquote></p><p> The robot will be trained to perceive a diverse environment and multiple targets with 3D route planning, and it’ll be able to recognize users through facial, body and voiceprint, says Xpeng. It is also experimenting with technologies like dynamic acoustic mapping, bionic hearing, a bionic sense of smell and even a bionic tactile experience through plantar and fingerprint touch and skin sensing. Xpeng’s robots will have a 360-degree camera module and lidar sensing system, as well as object recognition and sound field sensory technology so that it can get the most precise model of the environment to interact with.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车表示，该机器人将接受训练，通过 3D 路线规划感知不同的环境和多个目标，并能够通过面部、身体和声纹识别用户。它还在试验动态声学映射、仿生听觉、仿生嗅觉，甚至通过足底和指纹触摸以及皮肤传感获得仿生触觉体验等技术。小鹏汽车的机器人将配备 360 度摄像头模块和激光雷达传感系统，以及物体识别和声场传感技术，以便获得最精确的环境模型进行交互。</blockquote></p><p> During the event, Xiaopeng mentioned that by next year, two major iterations to the robotic pony would make it look completely different than the renderings Xpeng has displayed today. A spokesperson for Xpeng told TechCrunch that there’s no timeline on a path to market for the robotic pony, as of yet, but there is a prototype that’s still in the development stage. Given the immense AI and hardware challenge for Xpeng to create a fully autonomous robot and the price tag associated with that challenge, it’s safe to assume the company is many years out from commercializing this tech.</p><p><blockquote>活动期间，小鹏提到，到明年，机器人小马的两次重大迭代将使其看起来与小鹏今天展示的渲染图完全不同。小鹏汽车的一位发言人告诉 TechCrunch，目前还没有机器人小马的上市时间表，但有一个原型车仍处于开发阶段。鉴于小鹏汽车制造全自动机器人面临着巨大的人工智能和硬件挑战，以及与这一挑战相关的价格，可以肯定的是，该公司距离将这项技术商业化还有很多年的时间。</blockquote></p><p> “With the adoption of greater target recognition and precise interaction, 3D route planning that enables more complex terrain mobility and enhanced bionic senses, XPeng will bring greater application scenarios to support wider mobility, greater autonomous planning, and stronger human-machine interaction for the future of smart mobility,” the company said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>“小鹏汽车在一份声明中说：”随着更强大的目标识别和精确交互、实现更复杂地形移动的三维路线规划以及增强的仿生感知，小鹏汽车将为未来的智能移动带来更多应用场景，以支持更广泛的移动、更自主的规划和更强的人机交互。</blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1602557183277","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Xpilot 3.5 will feature “City Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP)” and will only be available to drivers of Xpeng’s P5 family sedan, which can be built with lidar, millimeter-wave radar and a 3D visual perception network that can recognize, classify and position multiple targets – all of which is essential for city-level NGP.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车计划于 2022 年上半年向部分城市的驾驶员推出下一代 ADAS（名为 Xpilot）。Xpilot 3.5 将配备 “城市导航引导飞行员（NGP）”，仅适用于小鹏 P5 家族轿车的驾驶员，该轿车可配备激光雷达、毫米波雷达和 3D 视觉感知网络，可识别、分类和定位多个目标--所有这些都是城市级 NGP 所必需的。</blockquote></p><p> The last Xpilot version, 3.0, which was available to drivers of Xpeng’s P7 sedan, handled highway-level NGP, through which Xpeng was able to gather nearly 12 million kilometers, or 7.5 million miles, of data.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车 P7 轿车的驾驶员可以使用的最后一个 Xpilot 版本 3.0 处理了高速公路级 NGP，通过该版本，小鹏汽车能够收集近 1200 万公里（750 万英里）的数据。</blockquote></p><p> Xpilot 3.5 will have a strategic planning module with advanced prediction capabilities that uses a combination of rule-driven and data-driven AI to handle city scenarios, like avoiding static objects and vulnerable road users, as well as lane changing at any speed, according to Xpeng.</p><p><blockquote>Xpilot 3.5 将有一个战略规划模块，具有先进的预测功能，结合使用规则驱动和数据驱动的人工智能来处理城市场景，例如避开静态物体和脆弱的道路使用者，以及以任何速度变道。小鹏表示。</blockquote></p><p> Xpeng’s approach to reaching full autonomy is similar to Tesla’s, in that it aims to go through Level 2 autonomy, or ADAS systems, on its way to reaching Level 5. (SAE International describes Level 2 autonomy as a system that mainly has support features, like adaptive cruise control and brake support. It describes Level 5 autonomy a system that can drive anywhere under all conditions.) Last month,Tesla released a software update that allows customers to request access to its Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software. FSD includes capabilities like automatic lane change, moving into and out of parking spots and autosteering, which is currently not yet available for city streets. Tesla has given no date as to when it will bring this capability to cities, but it will be poweredusingonly vision and neural network processing.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车实现完全自动驾驶的方法与特斯拉类似，它的目标是在达到 5 级自动驾驶的过程中通过 2 级自动驾驶，即 ADAS 系统。（SAE International 将 Level 2 autonomy 描述为主要具有支持功能的系统，例如自适应巡航控制和制动支持。它将 Level 5 autonomy 描述为可以在任何条件下驾驶的系统。）上个月，特斯拉发布了软件更新，允许客户请求访问其完整的自动驾驶测试版 (FSD Beta) 软件。FSD 包括自动变道、进出停车位和自动转向等功能，这些功能目前还不适用于城市街道。特斯拉没有给出何时将这种功能引入城市的日期，但它将只使用视觉和神经网络处理。</blockquote></p><p> “Human-machine co-pilot functions will remain critical for the foreseeable future,” said XinZhou Wu, VP of autonomous driving at Xpeng, during the event. “Ourmission is to progressively transition from advanced driver assistance to full autonomous driving, with a clear roadmap to first completely connect all driving scenarios. Our closed-loop data operation, software iteration and mass production capability – all created in-house – put us in pole position to significantly improve safety and resolve the industry’s long-tail issues.”</p><p><blockquote>“小鹏汽车自动驾驶副总裁吴新洲在活动中表示：”在可预见的未来，人机副驾驶功能仍将至关重要。“我们的使命是从高级驾驶辅助逐步过渡到完全自动驾驶，并制定明确的路线图，首先将所有驾驶场景完全连接起来。我们的闭环数据运营、软件迭代和量产能力——所有这些都是内部创建的——使我们在显著提高安全性和解决行业长尾问题方面处于领先地位。”</blockquote></p><p> Just as Tesla charges for its FSD software, so does Xpeng for its Xpilot. Xpeng didn’t say how much version 3.5 would cost, but version 3.0 currently costs about $3,200 (RMB 20,000), which can be purchased outright or paid for via annual subscription, an Xpeng spokesperson told TechCrunch.</p><p><blockquote>正如特斯拉对其 FSD 软件收费一样，小鹏汽车也对其 Xpilot 收费。小鹏汽车发言人告诉 TechCrunch，小鹏汽车没有透露 3.5 版本的售价，但 3.0 版本目前的售价约为 3200 美元（2 万元人民币），可以直接购买，也可以通过年度订阅支付。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Xpilot 4.0 to provide full-scenario point-to-point ADAS</b></p><p><blockquote><b>Xpilot 4.0将提供全场景点对点ADAS</b></blockquote></p><p> Xpeng’s Xpilot 4.0, which is planned for a roll out in the first half of 2023, would give the startup an edge on its race to full autonomy. The plan is to be the first to deliver full-scenario assisted smart driving experiences, from turning the vehicle on to parking it and everything in between.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车的 Xpilot 4.0 计划于 2023 年上半年推出，这将使这家初创公司在全自动驾驶竞赛中占据优势。该计划旨在率先提供全场景辅助智能驾驶体验，从启动车辆到停车以及其间的一切。</blockquote></p><p> This version of Xpilot will require a lot of compute power, so Xpeng is building a hardware upgrade for version 4.0, “with 508 TOPS ECU compute power supported by two Orin-X autonomous driving System-on-the-Chip (SOC) units,8-million-pixel front-view binocular camera and 2.9-million-pixel side-view cameras (covering front, rear, left and right view), and a highly integrated and expandable domain controller,” the company said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>该版本的 Xpilot 将需要大量的计算能力，因此小鹏汽车正在为 4.0 版本进行硬件升级，“该公司在一份声明中说：”508 TOPS ECU 计算能力由两个 Orin-X 自动驾驶片上系统 (SOC) 单元、800 万像素前视双目摄像头和 290 万像素侧视摄像头（覆盖前、后、左、右视图）以及高度集成和可扩展的域控制器提供支持。</blockquote></p><p> A spokesperson for Xpeng told TechCrunch Xpilot 4.0 will not go into any of the automaker’s existing vehicles, but rather will end up in an as yet unannounced vehicle. It’s likely that this new model will be an SUV, says the spokesperson, but Xpeng hasn’t released any information about it so far.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车发言人告诉 TechCrunch，Xpilot 4.0 不会应用于该汽车制造商的任何现有车型，而是会应用于一款尚未公布的车型。发言人表示，这款新车型很可能是一款 SUV，但小鹏汽车目前尚未发布任何相关信息。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> By the end of next year, as Xpeng prepares to bring Xpilot 4.0 to market, the automaker aims to have 75 million miles of highway NGP driven and 22 million miles of city NGP driven, as well as a 90% penetration rate of its memory parking function, Valet Parking Assist (VPA).</p><p><blockquote>到明年年底，随着小鹏准备将Xpilot 4.0推向市场，该汽车制造商的目标是实现7500万英里的高速公路NGP驾驶和2200万英里的城市NGP驾驶，以及90%的渗透率其记忆停车功能代客泊车辅助（VPA）。</blockquote></p><p> Xpeng also stressed the importance of safety when churning out all of this ADAS, and smart driving is only one aspect of that. The startup announced an upgrade to its user interface and operating system. The Xmart OS 4.0 promises a detailed display complete with a 3D rendering of the environment surrounding the vehicle. The OS will roll out next year in new vehicle models, said Xiaopeng. Xpeng is also rolling out version 2.0 of its voice assistant, which it says can listen, process and execute at the same time, to help make rides smoother for drivers.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车在生产所有这些 ADAS 时还强调了安全的重要性，而智能驾驶只是其中的一个方面。这家初创公司宣布升级其用户界面和操作系统。Xmart OS 4.0承诺提供详细的显示，包括车辆周围环境的3D渲染。小鹏表示，该操作系统将于明年在新车型中推出。小鹏汽车还推出了2.0版本的语音助手，据称该助手可以同时收听、处理和执行，以帮助驾驶员更顺畅地驾驶。</blockquote></p><p> Finally, just as Tesla has released a safety score for drivers looking to test its FSD Beta software, and also get heaps of data for its budding insurance line, Xpeng is unleashing a safety test to help drivers understand the boundaries of the Xpilot before activating it. Drivers will receive a smart driving score before they are able to use Xpilot, and if the driver monitoring system finds them to be driving irresponsibly down the line, it will deduct points from their overall score and possibly revoke Xpilot access.</p><p><blockquote>最后，正如特斯拉为希望测试其 FSD Beta 软件的驾驶员发布了安全评分，并为其萌芽中的保险系列获取了大量数据一样，小鹏汽车正在发布一项安全测试，以帮助驾驶员在激活 Xpilot 之前了解其边界。驾驶员在能够使用Xpilot之前将收到一个智能驾驶分数，如果驾驶员监控系统发现他们不负责任地驾驶，它将从他们的总体分数中扣分，并可能撤销Xpilot访问权限。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Superchargers that give up to 125 miles range in five minutes</b></p><p><blockquote><b>增压器可在五分钟内行驶 125 英里</b></blockquote></p><p> If Xpeng wants to create the smart mobility ecosystem of the future, it needs to power it. The startup already has 1,648 free charging stations in its network and 439 branded supercharging stations throughout China, but during its Tech Day, Xpeng revealed plans to produce its next generation “X-Power” superchargers based on a 800V high-voltage mass-production Silicon Carbide charging platform.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏想要打造未来的智能出行生态，就需要赋能。这家初创公司的网络中已经有 1648 个免费充电站，在中国各地有 439 个品牌超级充电站，但在科技日活动上，小鹏汽车透露了基于 800V 高压量产碳化硅充电平台生产下一代 “X-Power ”超级充电站的计划。</blockquote></p><p> The X-Power chargers will be able to give EVs enough juice to go up to 200 kilometers, or 125 miles, in just five minutes, and an average of 30 vehicles can be charged on one supercharger at a time, says Xpeng. The startup is also planning to roll out lightweight 480 kW high-voltage supercharging piles, which come with Xpeng vehicles so owners can charge their cars, for the first time. In order to support this supercharging network, Xpeng says it will launch power storage facilities in both piles and mobile vehicles.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车表示，X-Power 充电器将能够为电动汽车提供足够的动力，在短短五分钟内行驶 200 公里（即 125 英里），平均一次可以为 30 辆汽车在一个增压器上充电。这家初创公司还计划首次推出小鹏汽车配备的轻质 480 kW 高压超级充电桩，以便车主可以为汽车充电。为了支持这个超级充电网络，小鹏汽车表示将在充电桩和移动汽车中推出储能设施。</blockquote></p><p> Xpeng did not share when this new charging tech will make it to market.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车没有透露这项新的充电技术何时上市。</blockquote></p><p> <b>A flying car that also drives</b></p><p><blockquote><b>一辆也能驾驶的飞行汽车</b></blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b979c843e4030acc9e66523d3ecf982\" tg-width=\"1500\" tg-height=\"843\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> At the event, Xpeng revealed its new goal to become the world’s top low-altitude manned flying vehicle manufacturer, in large part fueled by its mission to create itssixth generation flying car. But this is not just any flying car. This one will also be able to drive on the road.</p><p><blockquote>在活动上，小鹏汽车透露了其成为全球顶级低空载人飞行飞行器制造商的新目标，这在很大程度上得益于其打造第六代飞行汽车的使命。但这不仅仅是普通的飞行汽车。这一个也将能够在路上行驶。</blockquote></p><p> A video presented during the event showed a rendering of a very sexy looking car, even sexier than the Xpeng P7, that converts from a normal car to a flying car through a foldable rotor mechanism. Xpeng says the low-altitude flying vehicle will be 50% the weight of the P7 and be about 18 feet in length at first with plans to make it shorter eventually. It’ll have both a steering wheel for road operations as well as a single lever for flight modes.</p><p><blockquote>活动期间展示的一段视频显示了一辆看起来非常性感的汽车的渲染图，甚至比小鹏P7更性感，它通过可折叠的转子机构从普通汽车转换为飞行汽车。小鹏汽车表示，这款低空飞行飞行器的重量将是 P7 的 50%，最初长度约为 18 英尺，最终计划将其缩短。它既有用于公路操作的方向盘，也有用于飞行模式的单个操纵杆。</blockquote></p><p> The new flying car will also feature an advanced environmental perception system that can fully evaluate the surrounding environment and weather conditions to conduct safety assessments before take-off, says the company. The system will evaluate the data it picks up against driving objectives to ensure a safe take-off and landing, and during the flight the advanced perception and flight control algorithm will be used to avoid obstacles.</p><p><blockquote>该公司表示，新型飞行汽车还将配备先进的环境感知系统，可以充分评估周围环境和天气条件，以便在起飞前进行安全评估。该系统将根据驾驶目标评估其拾取的数据，以确保安全起飞和着陆，在飞行过程中，将使用先进的感知和飞行控制算法来避开障碍物。</blockquote></p><p> Xpeng is planning to begin mass production for this contraption, which is being developed by Xpeng affiliate urban air mobility (UAM) company HT Aero, as soon as 2024. The final design, which Xiaopeng said would be more understated than the current renderings, is to be decided sometime next year. The CEO also said Xpeng is aiming for the cost to be lower than $157,000 (RMB 1 million).</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车计划最早于 2024 年开始量产这种装置，该装置由小鹏汽车附属城市空中交通 (UAM) 公司 HT Aero 开发。小鹏表示，最终设计将比目前的效果图更加低调，将于明年某个时候决定。这位首席执行官还表示，小鹏汽车的目标是将成本降至15.7万美元（100万元人民币）以下。</blockquote></p><p> Last week, Xpeng led HT Aero’s $500 million Series A raise, and HT Aero has produced other UAM vehicles for Xpeng, most recently the Xpeng X2, which is Xpeng’s fifth gen flying car that can seat two people. A spokesperson from Xpeng told TechCrunch the sixth gen flying car will be built for similar city use cases, like going from the office to the airport, or other similar trips under 30 minutes of flight time. Xpeng’s philosophy is to sell direct to consumer, so it’ll be interesting to see how low-altitude air regulations shift to handle a rather fast go-to-market strategy. Xiaopeng said he hopes to work with regulators to get to a place where Xpeng can legally mass-produce flying cars for private use by 2024, but didn’t go into more detail.</p><p><blockquote>上周，小鹏汽车领投了 HT Aero 5 亿美元的 A 轮融资，HT Aero 还为小鹏汽车生产了其他 UAM 车辆，最近的是小鹏 X2，这是小鹏汽车的第五代飞行汽车，可容纳两人。小鹏汽车发言人告诉 TechCrunch，第六代飞行汽车将专为类似的城市用例而制造，例如从办公室前往机场，或飞行时间不到 30 分钟的其他类似旅行。小鹏汽车的理念是直接面向消费者销售，因此低空飞行法规如何转变以应对相当快的市场推广策略将是一件很有趣的事情。小鹏表示，他希望与监管机构合作，到 2024 年，小鹏汽车可以合法批量生产供私人使用的飞行汽车，但没有透露更多细节。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> <b>Riding the path to smart mobility on a robotic pony</b></p><p><blockquote><b>骑着机器人小马踏上智能移动之路</b></blockquote></p><p> Last month, Xpeng teased a pony-style robot that kids could ride and interact with. The quadruped would ideally be so perceptive that it would be able to detect human emotions. During its Tech Day, Xpeng went into further detail about how it foresees smart robots like this pony becoming an intelligent platform for an integrated smart mobility system that can address far more complex autonomy challenges than vehicles.</p><p><blockquote>上个月，小鹏汽车预告了一款小马风格的机器人，孩子们可以骑乘和互动。理想情况下，四足动物的感知能力非常强，能够察觉到人类的情绪。在技术日期间，小鹏汽车更详细地介绍了它如何预见像这匹小马这样的智能机器人将成为集成智能移动系统的智能平台，可以解决比车辆更复杂的自主挑战。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59684451aead23baad7064d5cba00d5a\" tg-width=\"1646\" tg-height=\"930\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Woman in office loads Xpeng robotic pony with treats to be delivered in a video presented during Xpeng’s 2021 Tech Day.</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>在小鹏汽车 2021 年科技日期间播放的一段视频中，办公室里的女人给小鹏汽车机器人小马装零食。</span></p></blockquote></p><p> And it’s not just for kids. During the presentation, Xpeng played a video demonstrating how the cute robotic pony could be used to deliver snacks and other parcels in an office setting – a nod to the horse’s historic role in mobility history to transport objects. (In that same video, Xpeng possibly teased another robotic animal that was also hanging out in the fictional office, and this one looked a bit like Xiaomi’s creepy robot dog.)</p><p><blockquote>这不仅仅是为了孩子们。在演示过程中，小鹏汽车播放了一段视频，演示了如何使用可爱的机器人小马在办公室环境中运送零食和其他包裹--这是对这匹马在移动史上运输物品的历史作用的认可。(在同一段视频中，小鹏汽车可能还调侃了另一只同样在虚构办公室里闲逛的机器人动物，而这只动物看起来有点像小米令人毛骨悚然的机器狗）。</blockquote></p><p> Xiaopeng said Xpeng is leaning towards creating a quadruped like a pony rather than a bipedal robot because four legs are more stable than two.During Tesla’s AI Day, the company announced its plans to create a bipedal humanoid robot to handle human tasks like grocery shopping.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏表示，小鹏汽车倾向于打造像小马一样的四足机器人，而不是两足机器人，因为四条腿比两条腿更稳定。在特斯拉的人工智能日活动上，该公司宣布计划制造一个双足人形机器人，以处理购物等人类任务。</blockquote></p><p> The robot will be trained to perceive a diverse environment and multiple targets with 3D route planning, and it’ll be able to recognize users through facial, body and voiceprint, says Xpeng. It is also experimenting with technologies like dynamic acoustic mapping, bionic hearing, a bionic sense of smell and even a bionic tactile experience through plantar and fingerprint touch and skin sensing. Xpeng’s robots will have a 360-degree camera module and lidar sensing system, as well as object recognition and sound field sensory technology so that it can get the most precise model of the environment to interact with.</p><p><blockquote>小鹏汽车表示，该机器人将接受训练，通过 3D 路线规划感知不同的环境和多个目标，并能够通过面部、身体和声纹识别用户。它还在试验动态声学映射、仿生听觉、仿生嗅觉，甚至通过足底和指纹触摸以及皮肤传感获得仿生触觉体验等技术。小鹏汽车的机器人将配备 360 度摄像头模块和激光雷达传感系统，以及物体识别和声场传感技术，以便获得最精确的环境模型进行交互。</blockquote></p><p> During the event, Xiaopeng mentioned that by next year, two major iterations to the robotic pony would make it look completely different than the renderings Xpeng has displayed today. A spokesperson for Xpeng told TechCrunch that there’s no timeline on a path to market for the robotic pony, as of yet, but there is a prototype that’s still in the development stage. Given the immense AI and hardware challenge for Xpeng to create a fully autonomous robot and the price tag associated with that challenge, it’s safe to assume the company is many years out from commercializing this tech.</p><p><blockquote>活动期间，小鹏提到，到明年，机器人小马的两次重大迭代将使其看起来与小鹏今天展示的渲染图完全不同。小鹏汽车的一位发言人告诉 TechCrunch，目前还没有机器人小马的上市时间表，但有一个原型车仍处于开发阶段。鉴于小鹏汽车制造全自动机器人面临着巨大的人工智能和硬件挑战，以及与这一挑战相关的价格，可以肯定的是，该公司距离将这项技术商业化还有很多年的时间。</blockquote></p><p> “With the adoption of greater target recognition and precise interaction, 3D route planning that enables more complex terrain mobility and enhanced bionic senses, XPeng will bring greater application scenarios to support wider mobility, greater autonomous planning, and stronger human-machine interaction for the future of smart mobility,” the company said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>“小鹏汽车在一份声明中说：”随着更强大的目标识别和精确交互、实现更复杂地形移动的三维路线规划以及增强的仿生感知，小鹏汽车将为未来的智能移动带来更多应用场景，以支持更广泛的移动、更自主的规划和更强的人机交互。</blockquote></p><p></p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> 来源：<a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/23/top-highlights-from-xpengs-2021-tech-day/\">TechCrunch</a></p>\n<p>为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化</p>\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏集团","09868":"小鹏集团-W"},"source_url":"https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/23/top-highlights-from-xpengs-2021-tech-day/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1107955725","content_text":"Chinese smart electric vehicle startup Xpeng has announced a series of innovations that it says will help it craft the mobility ecosystem of the future.\n“Our exploration of more efficient, safer, carbon-neutral mobility solutions goes far beyond just smart EVs, and is the cornerstone of our long-term competitive advantages,” said He Xiaopeng, chairman and CEO of XPeng, at the startup’s 2021 Tech Day in Beijing on Sunday. “We strive to implement cutting-edge mobility technologies in mass-production models for the benefit of our customers.”\nXiaopeng went into detail on the company’s latest versions of its advanced driver assistance system(ADAS),its supercharger network, a next-generation flying car built with HT Aero and its robotic unicorn for kids.\nXpilot 3.5 will be designed for city driving\nXPILOT 3.5 and City NGP\nXpeng is planning to roll out the next generation of its ADAS, called Xpilot, to drivers in select cities during the first half of 2022.

The startup is also planning to roll out lightweight 480 kW high-voltage supercharging piles, which come with Xpeng vehicles so owners can charge their cars, for the first time. In order to support this supercharging network, Xpeng says it will launch power storage facilities in both piles and mobile vehicles.\nXpeng did not share when this new charging tech will make it to market.\nA flying car that also drives\n\nAt the event, Xpeng revealed its new goal to become the world’s top low-altitude manned flying vehicle manufacturer, in large part fueled by its mission to create itssixth generation flying car. But this is not just any flying car. This one will also be able to drive on the road.\nA video presented during the event showed a rendering of a very sexy looking car, even sexier than the Xpeng P7, that converts from a normal car to a flying car through a foldable rotor mechanism. Xpeng says the low-altitude flying vehicle will be 50% the weight of the P7 and be about 18 feet in length at first with plans to make it shorter eventually. It’ll have both a steering wheel for road operations as well as a single lever for flight modes.\nThe new flying car will also feature an advanced environmental perception system that can fully evaluate the surrounding environment and weather conditions to conduct safety assessments before take-off, says the company. The system will evaluate the data it picks up against driving objectives to ensure a safe take-off and landing, and during the flight the advanced perception and flight control algorithm will be used to avoid obstacles.\nXpeng is planning to begin mass production for this contraption, which is being developed by Xpeng affiliate urban air mobility (UAM) company HT Aero, as soon as 2024. The final design, which Xiaopeng said would be more understated than the current renderings, is to be decided sometime next year. The CEO also said Xpeng is aiming for the cost to be lower than $157,000 (RMB 1 million).\nLast week, Xpeng led HT Aero’s $500 million Series A raise, and HT Aero has produced other UAM vehicles for Xpeng, most recently the Xpeng X2, which is Xpeng’s fifth gen flying car that can seat two people. A spokesperson from Xpeng told TechCrunch the sixth gen flying car will be built for similar city use cases, like going from the office to the airport, or other similar trips under 30 minutes of flight time. Xpeng’s philosophy is to sell direct to consumer, so it’ll be interesting to see how low-altitude air regulations shift to handle a rather fast go-to-market strategy. Xiaopeng said he hopes to work with regulators to get to a place where Xpeng can legally mass-produce flying cars for private use by 2024, but didn’t go into more detail.\nRiding the path to smart mobility on a robotic pony\nLast month, Xpeng teased a pony-style robot that kids could ride and interact with. The quadruped would ideally be so perceptive that it would be able to detect human emotions. During its Tech Day, Xpeng went into further detail about how it foresees smart robots like this pony becoming an intelligent platform for an integrated smart mobility system that can address far more complex autonomy challenges than vehicles.\nWoman in office loads Xpeng robotic pony with treats to be delivered in a video presented during Xpeng’s 2021 Tech Day.\nAnd it’s not just for kids. During the presentation, Xpeng played a video demonstrating how the cute robotic pony could be used to deliver snacks and other parcels in an office setting – a nod to the horse’s historic role in mobility history to transport objects. (In that same video, Xpeng possibly teased another robotic animal that was also hanging out in the fictional office, and this one looked a bit like Xiaomi’s creepy robot dog.)\nXiaopeng said Xpeng is leaning towards creating a quadruped like a pony rather than a bipedal robot because four legs are more stable than two.During Tesla’s AI Day, the company announced its plans to create a bipedal humanoid robot to handle human tasks like grocery shopping.\nThe robot will be trained to perceive a diverse environment and multiple targets with 3D route planning, and it’ll be able to recognize users through facial, body and voiceprint, says Xpeng. It is also experimenting with technologies like dynamic acoustic mapping, bionic hearing, a bionic sense of smell and even a bionic tactile experience through plantar and fingerprint touch and skin sensing. Xpeng’s robots will have a 360-degree camera module and lidar sensing system, as well as object recognition and sound field sensory technology so that it can get the most precise model of the environment to interact with.\nDuring the event, Xiaopeng mentioned that by next year, two major iterations to the robotic pony would make it look completely different than the renderings Xpeng has displayed today. A spokesperson for Xpeng told TechCrunch that there’s no timeline on a path to market for the robotic pony, as of yet, but there is a prototype that’s still in the development stage. Given the immense AI and hardware challenge for Xpeng to create a fully autonomous robot and the price tag associated with that challenge, it’s safe to assume the company is many years out from commercializing this tech.\n“With the adoption of greater target recognition and precise interaction, 3D route planning that enables more complex terrain mobility and enhanced bionic senses, XPeng will bring greater application scenarios to support wider mobility, greater autonomous planning, and stronger human-machine interaction for the future of smart mobility,” the company said in a statement.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"09868":0.9,"XPEV":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3341,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":4,"subscribersOnly":false,"subscribersOnlyAccessible":false,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/852162414"}
