What Level of Autonomous Driving Does XPeng Belong To?
2 Answers
XPeng is equipped with a highly intelligent L2.5-level autonomous driving assistance system. Although the currently available features are somewhat limited, it indeed makes driving more relaxed and enjoyable. Additional details are as follows: 1. Advanced Driving System Configuration: The XPilot assistance system primarily consists of front and rear radars, ultrasonic sensors, surround-view cameras, and forward-facing visual modules, enabling zonal monitoring of the vehicle's surroundings and execution of corresponding commands. Based on these commands, the XPilot system offers features such as automatic parking, stop-and-go following, and adaptive cruise control on curves. 2. High Success Rate for Automatic Parking: By effectively integrating ultrasonic and panoramic vision systems, it covers approximately 70% of usage scenarios, easily handling parallel, perpendicular, and diagonal parking spaces with a success rate exceeding 80%. 3. Added Remote Parking Function: The XPilot system also provides a remote parking feature, achieving an exceptionally high level of intelligence, with an average parking time of just 40 seconds.
I've used XPeng's autonomous driving system, which is generally considered Level 2. On highways or urban roads, it can assist with steering and acceleration, but I still need to stay vigilant and can't slack off. Once during traffic congestion, I activated XPilot, and the automatic follow feature was quite convenient. However, when a car suddenly cut in, the system prompted me to take over. This technology relies on multiple sensors, combining camera and radar data, designed to reduce driver burden, but it's not fully autonomous. Current regulations only permit Level 2 systems on the road, and letting go could easily lead to accidents. XPeng is still optimizing the system, and there might be higher versions in the future. But for now, safety comes first—I need to stay focused and not rely too much on the machine.
