Compared to NIO ES7, Li Xiang L9 and Huawei Wanjie, I eventually chose XPeng G9, mainly because of its excellent Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS)!
Yesterday afternoon at a temperature of 10-12℃, I had my first experience of the ADAS function of G9 during a 300 km highway drive. Here are my feelings:
-
By turning on the ADAS function, the system allows for NGP on highways with high-resolution maps, and LCC on highways without high-resolution maps. NGP enables lane change and overtaking, while adjusting speed according to the speed limit.
-
With high-resolution maps, the system can automatically switch between highways and ramps, otherwise it will prompt the driver to take over control.
-
The system response may slow down when there are many vehicles on the road, making it difficult to change lanes safely, as the system requires sufficient conditions before executing the lane change. At such moments, it is more comfortable and efficient to switch lanes manually.
-
During the 300 km trip, the ADAS function worked well most of the time. When there were fewer cars on the road, it was more useful. However, when the road was busy, experienced drivers could still drive faster and more efficiently than the ADAS system.
