Today, Xpeng Motors officially released a preview of a brand new product. The new car is a brand new sedan, which the official said will be revealed during the year. It was formerly reported that the new car will be equipped with lidar to pave the way for autonomous driving.
Judging from the preview picture, the car adopts the usual design style of Xiaopeng brand cars, with a slender LED light strip running through the entire front face, and two triangular elements similar to Xiaopeng’s ‘X’ logo under the penetrating light strip compared to P7 In terms of it, it is also more overall.
The other two pictures show the side and rear of the new car, which may continue to use the popular fastback design and equipped with through-type taillights. However, the new car looks smaller than the P7 and is expected to be named P5.
Currently no information available, on the power of the new car, but before that, Xiaopeng Motors announced that it has reached a cooperation with Livox, which is incubated by DJI, and will use its customized version of Xiaopeng’s car-grade laser on the new mass-produced model launched in 2021 radar.
This means that the car is supposed to become the world’s first mass-produced smart car furnished with lidar.
Currently, Xiaopeng Motors has the strongest autonomous driving architecture for mass-produced vehicles with multiple modules such as perception, behavior planning, behavior/motion prediction, and map fusion.
The addition of lidar will effectively improve the high-precision recognition performance of the vehicle and greatly improve its perception ability.
Xiaopeng Motors has said that in the future, under the multi-function fusion of vision + millimeter-wave radar + ultrasonic sensor + car-level lidar, it will effectively improve the perceived performance of the vehicle.
