What does the Navigation Guided Pilot system mean?
2 Answers
Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP), simply put, means that after setting the destination on the vehicle's system, the car will automatically cruise, change lanes, and navigate nearby ramps according to the route. Additional information: 1. Brake Assist System: In emergency situations, 90% of drivers do not brake decisively. The Brake Assist System is designed to address this issue. It detects the situation the vehicle is encountering based on the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal. When the driver quickly presses the brake pedal in an emergency but does not apply enough force, the system assists and increases the braking force to the maximum in less than a second, reducing the braking distance in emergency situations. 2. Parking Assist System: The Parking Assist System includes ultrasonic sensors embedded in the front and rear bumpers. Each sensor has a diameter of about 15mm. The ultrasonic detection signals emitted by the sensors reflect when they encounter obstacles. After receiving the reflected signals, the sensors promptly feed them back to the system for distance calculation and alert the driver through sound, video, etc., about the distance between the vehicle and obstacles outside the driver's field of vision.
I often use the navigation assist for my daily commute, which is essentially a combination of intelligent cruise control and lane keeping. Once I set the speed on the highway, the car can automatically accelerate or decelerate based on the vehicle ahead and steer through curves on its own. However, the steering wheel sensors constantly check if I'm holding it, and an alarm will sound if I don't touch it for more than ten seconds. Some newer models now even have an automatic lane-changing and overtaking feature, where the car will change lanes by itself when the turn signal is activated, but it's quite annoying that the radar often fails in rainy or foggy conditions. Ultimately, it's just an aid to reduce driving fatigue, not autonomous driving.
