Today, a netizen in the NIO community group urged the update of the car’s software and called out NIO’s CEO, William Li, saying “it has been nearly 3 months since the last update”.
In response, Mr. Li himself announced that NIO will soon release version 2.7 of its NIO OS software, which will add a NoP feature. However, because this update involves NoP, more testing is needed, and so everyone will need to be patient and wait for it.
In addition, this update will also improve the long-standing network connection issues that have plagued NIO cars.
Regarding the anticipated automatic summoning feature, Mr. Li explained that the current generation of cars does not support it due to hardware limitations, but the next generation will be able to achieve it.
According to our sources, NIO is expected to officially release the NoP feature before the Beijing Auto Show, making NIO the second brand in the market to support “navigation-guided driving”. XPeng, which also plans to launch “navigation-guided driving” in its upcoming software update, is expected to release it in the first quarter of 2021.
