XPENG Rolls out City NGP Self Driving Service in Beijing, More Cities to Follow

XPENG has announced the official launch of City NGP (Navigation Guided Pilot) in Beijing, making it China's first Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) available in the urban areas of Beijing, applicable on the major ring roads and expressways. XPENG's next-generation ADAS, XNGP, will be made available in more Chinese cities in 2H 2023.

XNGP is set to improve its handling of lane changing, bypassing and following other vehicles.

In the second half of 2023, XPENG says it will gradually release its ADAS functions for Chinese cities or urban areas without HD map coverage.

It also plans to offer customised NGP capabilities for daily commuting nationwide.

These initiatives will cater to a wider range of driving scenarios and provide enhanced intelligent driving experiences for users in various environments.

In a press release, XPENG says: 'Thanks to XPENG's industry-leading XNet deep learning neural network, backed by China's largest autonomous driving supercomputing center, and its self-developed closed-loop AI and data system, the City NGP possesses robust AI learning capabilities. Not only does it rapidly accumulate driving expertise, but it also significantly accelerates the expansion of coverage in new cities'.

XPENG is headquartered in Guangzhou, China, with main offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Silicon Valley, San Diego and Amsterdam.
