XPENG Reveals Neural Network for Visual Recognition at 2022 TECH DAY

China's XPENG has unveiled a range of advanced technologies at its Tech Day held at the company;s headquarters in Guangzhou. This year’s event featured XPENG’s next-generation neural network-based perception architecture, closed-loop AI and data management platform, industry leading voice and smart cabin technologies, and the latest developments in its mobility ecosystem, including latest robotaxi, flying car and robotics endeavors.

XNet, its next-generation neural network-based software architecture, offers visual recognition with human-like decision making capabilities, drawing from multiple cameras’ data. 

The neural network technology supersedes complicated manual processing logic to achieve a self-evolving data-driven algorithm.

Its XNet-empowered autonomous driving technical stack is backed by Fuyao, China’s largest supercomputing center for autonomous driving.

He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPENG, says: “Our strong technological R&D capabilities allow us to fulfill customer needs with innovations. Driven by our vision of ‘tech for the greater good’ and customers’ evolving demands, we continue to reach technical breakthroughs and set new industry benchmarks. Our staunch IP also provides significant barriers to entry, propelling our considerable head start. Each component we originate for our mobility ecosystem strengthens our proprietary platform and competitive advantage, while providing a springboard for our significant future growth.”

“Our rollout of City NGP (Navigation Guided Pilot) pilot program in September represented a decisive milestone in the second half of the race to the autonomous driving end-game,” adds Dr. Xinzhou Wu, Vice President of Autonomous Driving of XPENG. “Enhancing customer experience through innovation is our ultimate goal. We are implementing the most advanced driver assistance in mass-produced vehicles in complex urban driving environments, a huge leap forward as we work to build our autonomous driving capabilities. The underlying strength of this holistic platform will support our exponential growth, anticipated in the next phase of the race.”

XPENG is headquartered in Guangzhou, China, with main offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Silicon Valley, San Diego and Amsterdam. Its  Smart EVs are mainly manufactured at its plant in Zhaoqing, Guangdong province.
