Technology

Adaptive cruise control system

XPeng P7 is equipped with an adaptive cruise control system. The adaptive cruise control (ACC) system is a safety system designed for avoiding collisions by collecting environmental data from vehicle sensors to control the velocity of vehicles. According to data in 2020, this system had been used for driving for 25.1 million km (15.6 million mi), which the using rate of ACC is 66%.[16]

AGX-Xavier central computer

XPeng P7 has many sensors, radars and cameras for 360-degree environment detection. After the process of data collection, Nvidia Drive AGX Xavier, which is the central high-performance computer equipped in P7, would utilize and calculate data to perform P7's Xmart OS functions, such as automated driving and valet parking.[17]

Autonomous driving assistance system

XPeng P7's XPILOT 3.0 is an autonomous driving assistance system that features XPeng Navigation Guided Pilot (XNGP). According to the data offered by Marie Cheung, it has:

  • 31 autonomous driving sensors;
  • 12 ultrasonic sensors;
  • 10 autonomous driving high-sensitivity cameras and sub-systems;
  • 5 high-precision millimeter wave radars;
  • 4 autonomous driving surround-view cameras.

These equipments give XPeng P7 omnidirectional perception to supervise the changes of the surrounding environment.[18]

Awards

The Xpeng P7 won the Xuanyuan Awards Car of The Year 2021.[19]
