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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车计划在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将具有“城市导航引导飞行员（NGP）”功能，仅适用于小鹏P5家庭轿车的驾驶员，该轿车可以使用激光雷达、毫米波雷达和3D视觉感知网络来构建，可以识别、分类和定位多个目标——所有这些对于城市级NGP来说都是必不可少的。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车P7轿车驾驶员可以使用的最后一个Xpilot版本3.0处理高速公路级NGP，通过该版本小鹏汽车能够收集近1200万公里（即750万英里）的数据。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>Xpilot 3.5将拥有一个具有高级预测功能的战略规划模块，该模块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易受攻击的道路使用者，以及以任何速度变道小鹏。</blockquote> 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&nbsp;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&nbsp;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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车实现完全自动驾驶的方法与特斯拉类似，其目标是在达到5级自动驾驶的过程中通过2级自动驾驶（ADAS系统）。（SAE International将2级自动驾驶描述为主要具有支持功能的系统，如自适应巡航控制和制动支持。它将5级自动驾驶描述为可以在任何条件下在任何地方驾驶的系统。）上个月，特斯拉发布了一个软件更新，允许客户请求访问其全自动驾驶测试版（FSD Beta）软件。FSD包括自动变道、进出停车位和自动转向等功能，这些功能目前尚不适用于城市街道。特斯拉没有给出何时将这种功能引入城市的日期，但它将仅使用视觉和神经网络处理来驱动。</blockquote> “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.”<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，人机副驾驶功能仍然至关重要。”“我们的使命是逐步从高级驾驶辅助过渡到全自动驾驶，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——全部由内部创建——使我们处于领先地位，显着提高安全性并解决行业的长尾问题。”</blockquote> 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.<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版本的价格，但3.0版本目前的价格约为3200美元（2万元人民币），可以直接购买或通过年度订阅支付。</blockquote> Xpilot 4.0 to provide full-scenario point-to-point ADAS<blockquote>Xpilot 4.0将提供全场景点对点ADAS</blockquote> 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.<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完全自动驾驶的竞赛中占据优势。该计划将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> 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.<blockquote>这个版本的Xpilot将需要大量的计算能力，因此小鹏正在为4.0版本进行硬件升级，“由两个Orin-X自动驾驶片上系统（SOC）单元支持508 TOPS ECU计算能力，800万像素的前视双目摄像头和290万像素的侧视摄像头（覆盖前、后、左、右视），以及一个高度集成和可扩展的域控制器，”该公司在一份声明中表示。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车的一位发言人告诉TechCrunch，Xpilot 4.0不会应用于该汽车制造商的任何现有车辆，而是最终将应用于尚未公布的车辆。该发言人表示，这款新车型很可能是一款SUV，但小鹏汽车迄今为止尚未发布任何相关信息。</blockquote> 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).<blockquote>到明年年底，随着小鹏汽车准备将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%的记忆停车渗透率功能，代客泊车辅助（VPA）。</blockquote> 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.<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，并提供车辆周围环境的3D渲染。小鹏表示，该操作系统将于明年在新车型中推出。小鹏汽车还推出了语音助手2.0版本，据称该助手可以同时监听、处理和执行，以帮助驾驶员更顺畅地乘坐。</blockquote> Finally, just as&nbsp;Tesla has released a safety score for drivers&nbsp;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.<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，并为其崭露头角的保险系列获取了大量数据一样，小鹏汽车也推出了一项安全测试，以帮助驾驶员在激活Xpilot之前了解Xpilot的界限。驾驶员在能够使用Xpilot之前将获得智能驾驶分数，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> Superchargers that give up to 125 miles range in five minutes<blockquote>增压器可在五分钟内行驶125英里</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>如果小鹏汽车想要创建未来的智能出行生态系统，它需要为其提供动力。这家初创公司的网络中已经有1,648个免费充电站，在中国各地有439个品牌超级充电站，但在科技日期间，小鹏汽车透露计划生产基于800V高压量产的下一代“X-Power”超级充电站。碳化硅充电平台。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车表示，X-Power充电器将能够在短短5分钟内为电动汽车提供足够的电量，使其行驶200公里（125英里），平均一次可以在一个超级充电器上为30辆汽车充电。该初创公司还计划首次推出小鹏汽车配备的轻型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，小鹏汽车表示将在桩和移动车辆中推出储电设施。</blockquote> Xpeng did not share when this new charging tech will make it to market.<blockquote>小鹏汽车没有透露这项新充电技术何时上市。</blockquote> A flying car that also drives<blockquote>一辆还能开车的飞行汽车</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b979c843e4030acc9e66523d3ecf982\" tg-width=\"1500\" tg-height=\"843\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><blockquote></blockquote> 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.<blockquote>在此次活动中，小鹏汽车透露了成为世界顶级低空载人飞行器制造商的新目标，这在很大程度上是由其打造第六代飞行汽车的使命推动的。但这不是普通的飞行汽车。这辆也将能够在路上行驶。</blockquote> A video presented during the event showed a rendering of a very sexy looking car, even sexier than the&nbsp;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.<blockquote>活动期间展示的一段视频展示了一辆看起来非常性感的汽车的渲染图，甚至比小鹏P7还要性感，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，这款低空飞行器的重量将是P7的50%，最初长度约为18英尺，并计划最终使其更短。它将有一个用于道路操作的方向盘和一个用于飞行模式的单杆。</blockquote> 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.<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，可以全面评估周围环境和天气状况，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，先进的感知和飞行控制算法将用于避开障碍物。</blockquote> 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).<blockquote>小鹏汽车计划最早于2024年开始量产这款由小鹏汽车附属城市空中交通(UAM)公司HT Aero开发的装置。小鹏表示，最终的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，小鹏汽车的目标是成本低于15.7万美元（100万元人民币）。</blockquote> 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&nbsp;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.<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，最近的一款是小鹏X2，这是小鹏汽车第五代飞行汽车，可容纳两人。小鹏汽车的一位发言人告诉TechCrunch，第六代飞行汽车将用于类似的城市用例，例如从办公室到机场，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向消费者销售，因此看看低空空气法规如何转变以处理相当快速的上市策略将会很有趣。小鹏表示，希望与监管机构合作，到2024年，小鹏可以合法量产供私人使用的飞行汽车，但没有透露更多细节。</blockquote> Riding the path to smart mobility on a robotic pony<blockquote>骑着机器人小马走上智能移动之路</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>上个月，小鹏汽车预告了一款小马式机器人，孩子们可以骑着它并与之互动。理想情况下，四足动物会非常敏锐，能够察觉人类的情绪。在科技日期间，小鹏汽车进一步详细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，该系统可以解决比车辆复杂得多的自动驾驶挑战。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59684451aead23baad7064d5cba00d5a\" tg-width=\"1646\" tg-height=\"930\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Woman in office loads Xpeng robotic pony with treats to be delivered in a video presented during Xpeng’s 2021 Tech Day.<blockquote>在小鹏汽车2021年科技日期间发布的一段视频中，办公室里的一名妇女正在给小鹏汽车机器人小马装载待交付的零食。</blockquote> 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&nbsp;Xiaomi’s creepy robot dog.)<blockquote>这不仅仅是为了孩子。在演示过程中，小鹏汽车播放了一段视频，展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——这是对马在移动历史上运输物体的历史作用的认可。（在同一段视频中，小鹏汽车可能戏弄了另一只同样在虚构办公室里闲逛的机器动物，这只看起来有点像小米令人毛骨悚然的机器狗。）</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏表示，小鹏倾向于创造一个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期间，该公司宣布计划创造一个双足人形机器人来处理像杂货购物这样的人类任务。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车表示，该机器人将接受训练，通过3D路线规划感知多样化的环境和多个目标，并且能够通过面部、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实现仿生触觉体验等技术。小鹏的机器人将拥有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，以便它可以获得最精确的环境模型进行交互。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>在活动中，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效果图完全不同。小鹏汽车的一位发言人告诉TechCrunch，目前还没有机器人小马上市的时间表，但有一个原型仍处于开发阶段。鉴于小鹏汽车制造全自动机器人面临巨大的人工智能和硬件挑战以及与该挑战相关的价格标签，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> “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.<blockquote>“通过采用更强的目标识别和精确交互、实现更复杂地形机动性的3D路线规划和增强的仿生感官，小鹏汽车将带来更大的应用场景，以支持更广泛的移动性、更大的自主规划和更强的人机交互。智能移动的未来，”该公司在一份声明中表示。</blockquote>","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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车计划在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将具有“城市导航引导飞行员（NGP）”功能，仅适用于小鹏P5家庭轿车的驾驶员，该轿车可以使用激光雷达、毫米波雷达和3D视觉感知网络来构建，可以识别、分类和定位多个目标——所有这些对于城市级NGP来说都是必不可少的。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车P7轿车驾驶员可以使用的最后一个Xpilot版本3.0处理高速公路级NGP，通过该版本小鹏汽车能够收集近1200万公里（即750万英里）的数据。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>Xpilot 3.5将拥有一个具有高级预测功能的战略规划模块，该模块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易受攻击的道路使用者，以及以任何速度变道小鹏。</blockquote> 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&nbsp;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&nbsp;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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车实现完全自动驾驶的方法与特斯拉类似，其目标是在达到5级自动驾驶的过程中通过2级自动驾驶（ADAS系统）。（SAE International将2级自动驾驶描述为主要具有支持功能的系统，如自适应巡航控制和制动支持。它将5级自动驾驶描述为可以在任何条件下在任何地方驾驶的系统。）上个月，特斯拉发布了一个软件更新，允许客户请求访问其全自动驾驶测试版（FSD Beta）软件。FSD包括自动变道、进出停车位和自动转向等功能，这些功能目前尚不适用于城市街道。特斯拉没有给出何时将这种功能引入城市的日期，但它将仅使用视觉和神经网络处理来驱动。</blockquote> “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.”<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，人机副驾驶功能仍然至关重要。”“我们的使命是逐步从高级驾驶辅助过渡到全自动驾驶，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——全部由内部创建——使我们处于领先地位，显着提高安全性并解决行业的长尾问题。”</blockquote> 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.<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版本的价格，但3.0版本目前的价格约为3200美元（2万元人民币），可以直接购买或通过年度订阅支付。</blockquote> Xpilot 4.0 to provide full-scenario point-to-point ADAS<blockquote>Xpilot 4.0将提供全场景点对点ADAS</blockquote> 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.<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完全自动驾驶的竞赛中占据优势。该计划将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> 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.<blockquote>这个版本的Xpilot将需要大量的计算能力，因此小鹏正在为4.0版本进行硬件升级，“由两个Orin-X自动驾驶片上系统（SOC）单元支持508 TOPS ECU计算能力，800万像素的前视双目摄像头和290万像素的侧视摄像头（覆盖前、后、左、右视），以及一个高度集成和可扩展的域控制器，”该公司在一份声明中表示。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车的一位发言人告诉TechCrunch，Xpilot 4.0不会应用于该汽车制造商的任何现有车辆，而是最终将应用于尚未公布的车辆。该发言人表示，这款新车型很可能是一款SUV，但小鹏汽车迄今为止尚未发布任何相关信息。</blockquote> 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).<blockquote>到明年年底，随着小鹏汽车准备将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%的记忆停车渗透率功能，代客泊车辅助（VPA）。</blockquote> 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.<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，并提供车辆周围环境的3D渲染。小鹏表示，该操作系统将于明年在新车型中推出。小鹏汽车还推出了语音助手2.0版本，据称该助手可以同时监听、处理和执行，以帮助驾驶员更顺畅地乘坐。</blockquote> Finally, just as&nbsp;Tesla has released a safety score for drivers&nbsp;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.<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，并为其崭露头角的保险系列获取了大量数据一样，小鹏汽车也推出了一项安全测试，以帮助驾驶员在激活Xpilot之前了解Xpilot的界限。驾驶员在能够使用Xpilot之前将获得智能驾驶分数，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> Superchargers that give up to 125 miles range in five minutes<blockquote>增压器可在五分钟内行驶125英里</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>如果小鹏汽车想要创建未来的智能出行生态系统，它需要为其提供动力。这家初创公司的网络中已经有1,648个免费充电站，在中国各地有439个品牌超级充电站，但在科技日期间，小鹏汽车透露计划生产基于800V高压量产的下一代“X-Power”超级充电站。碳化硅充电平台。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车表示，X-Power充电器将能够在短短5分钟内为电动汽车提供足够的电量，使其行驶200公里（125英里），平均一次可以在一个超级充电器上为30辆汽车充电。该初创公司还计划首次推出小鹏汽车配备的轻型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，小鹏汽车表示将在桩和移动车辆中推出储电设施。</blockquote> Xpeng did not share when this new charging tech will make it to market.<blockquote>小鹏汽车没有透露这项新充电技术何时上市。</blockquote> A flying car that also drives<blockquote>一辆还能开车的飞行汽车</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b979c843e4030acc9e66523d3ecf982\" tg-width=\"1500\" tg-height=\"843\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><blockquote></blockquote> 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.<blockquote>在此次活动中，小鹏汽车透露了成为世界顶级低空载人飞行器制造商的新目标，这在很大程度上是由其打造第六代飞行汽车的使命推动的。但这不是普通的飞行汽车。这辆也将能够在路上行驶。</blockquote> A video presented during the event showed a rendering of a very sexy looking car, even sexier than the&nbsp;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.<blockquote>活动期间展示的一段视频展示了一辆看起来非常性感的汽车的渲染图，甚至比小鹏P7还要性感，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，这款低空飞行器的重量将是P7的50%，最初长度约为18英尺，并计划最终使其更短。它将有一个用于道路操作的方向盘和一个用于飞行模式的单杆。</blockquote> 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.<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，可以全面评估周围环境和天气状况，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，先进的感知和飞行控制算法将用于避开障碍物。</blockquote> 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).<blockquote>小鹏汽车计划最早于2024年开始量产这款由小鹏汽车附属城市空中交通(UAM)公司HT Aero开发的装置。小鹏表示，最终的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，小鹏汽车的目标是成本低于15.7万美元（100万元人民币）。</blockquote> 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&nbsp;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.<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，最近的一款是小鹏X2，这是小鹏汽车第五代飞行汽车，可容纳两人。小鹏汽车的一位发言人告诉TechCrunch，第六代飞行汽车将用于类似的城市用例，例如从办公室到机场，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向消费者销售，因此看看低空空气法规如何转变以处理相当快速的上市策略将会很有趣。小鹏表示，希望与监管机构合作，到2024年，小鹏可以合法量产供私人使用的飞行汽车，但没有透露更多细节。</blockquote> Riding the path to smart mobility on a robotic pony<blockquote>骑着机器人小马走上智能移动之路</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>上个月，小鹏汽车预告了一款小马式机器人，孩子们可以骑着它并与之互动。理想情况下，四足动物会非常敏锐，能够察觉人类的情绪。在科技日期间，小鹏汽车进一步详细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，该系统可以解决比车辆复杂得多的自动驾驶挑战。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59684451aead23baad7064d5cba00d5a\" tg-width=\"1646\" tg-height=\"930\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Woman in office loads Xpeng robotic pony with treats to be delivered in a video presented during Xpeng’s 2021 Tech Day.<blockquote>在小鹏汽车2021年科技日期间发布的一段视频中，办公室里的一名妇女正在给小鹏汽车机器人小马装载待交付的零食。</blockquote> 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&nbsp;Xiaomi’s creepy robot dog.)<blockquote>这不仅仅是为了孩子。在演示过程中，小鹏汽车播放了一段视频，展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——这是对马在移动历史上运输物体的历史作用的认可。（在同一段视频中，小鹏汽车可能戏弄了另一只同样在虚构办公室里闲逛的机器动物，这只看起来有点像小米令人毛骨悚然的机器狗。）</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏表示，小鹏倾向于创造一个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期间，该公司宣布计划创造一个双足人形机器人来处理像杂货购物这样的人类任务。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>小鹏汽车表示，该机器人将接受训练，通过3D路线规划感知多样化的环境和多个目标，并且能够通过面部、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实现仿生触觉体验等技术。小鹏的机器人将拥有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，以便它可以获得最精确的环境模型进行交互。</blockquote> 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.<blockquote>在活动中，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效果图完全不同。小鹏汽车的一位发言人告诉TechCrunch，目前还没有机器人小马上市的时间表，但有一个原型仍处于开发阶段。鉴于小鹏汽车制造全自动机器人面临巨大的人工智能和硬件挑战以及与该挑战相关的价格标签，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> “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.<blockquote>“通过采用更强的目标识别和精确交互、实现更复杂地形机动性的3D路线规划和增强的仿生感官，小鹏汽车将带来更大的应用场景，以支持更广泛的移动性、更大的自主规划和更强的人机交互。智能移动的未来，”该公司在一份声明中表示。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/23/top-highlights-from-xpengs-2021-tech-day/\">TechCrunch</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏汽车","09868":"小鹏汽车-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 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":{"XPEV":0.9,"09868":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2134,"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,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
