On June 30th, XPeng Motors officially announced the push of Xmart OS 3.2.0 system for P5.
The main contents of this OTA update include:
- Addition of ACC adaptive cruise control enhanced version
- Addition of LCC lane centering assistance enhanced version
- Enhancement of NGP intelligent navigation assistance driving on highways
- Optimization of VPA parking lot memory parking feature
- Increase of cruising speed limit for memory parking from 15 km/h to 20 km/h
- Addition of smart scenario push feature for mini-programs
- Addition of single bed mode
- Addition of rear seat reminder feature
- Addition of smart light dance feature
The most significant content of this OTA update is the integration of XPilot basic driving assistance and NGP with laser radar data in P5. Before this update, laser radar was only used in the VPA scenario. Therefore, this OTA update can also be regarded as another milestone in XPeng’s self-developed driving assistance system.
Based on the multiple perception of vision and laser radar, the system can more accurately perceive the position, size, and direction of target objects. Moreover, it can improve the passing ability at road intersections without lane markings. Additionally, the laser radar of XPeng P5 is located below the headlights on both sides of the front of the car, which has better recognition ability for merging cars and obstacles on the edge of the road.
Under NGP mode, XPeng P5’s perception ability for larger vehicles has been improved by integrating laser radar data. Additionally, it can more accurately perceive and avoid road construction barriers.
Of course, the specific performance on the road still needs to be proven through tests, and we will also follow up on the performance of the new version of XPiolt in a timely manner. So stay tuned.
In the parking scenario, the cruising speed limit of VPA memory parking has been increased from 15 km/h to 20 km/h. Currently, the parking system is not favored by users due to its slow parking speed. The addition of laser radar has made it possible to improve the vehicle’s perception ability and increase the speed. The ultimate development trend of automatic parking is to approach human driving wirelessly. Otherwise, it cannot be accepted by users and its value cannot be reflected.In addition, there are some intelligent scenario push services. For example, after users purchase tickets on Taopiaopiao or Damai.cn through Alipay on their mobile phones, Xiao P will remind them one hour before the start time. Users can click to confirm and navigate directly to the destination via voice. The single bed mode refers to the function that automatically flattens the front passenger seat when the user activates it, making it convenient to rest with the single bed mattress in the sleeping kit.
