Nio NOP

In Shanghai, NOP+ is now available on 99 percent of the city's main roads, while the coverage of all urban roads in the city, including main roads and all side roads, reached 78.4 percent.

Nio aims to complete the validation of 250,000 kilometers of NOP+ urban pilot routes by the end of the year, more than quadrupling the initial target announced in September.

Nio aims to boost NOP+ coverage to 200,000 kilometers of urban roads by the first quarter of 2024.

Nio released NOP in October 2020 and launched the more powerful NOP+ in December 2022 after accumulating a large amount of user mileage data.

NOP+ has achieved full coverage on Beijing's city ring roads, including the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th ring roads, as well as fast roads and highways, Nio said.

With the official release of NOP+, Nio brings a new BEV and occupancy network awareness model and switches to the same technology stack as NAD.

The rollout of NOP+ is Nio's preparation for the launch of its subscription-based NAD assisted driving software.

As Nio enters the spotlight for a fatal ES8 crash, the company's owners have come to its defense.

The young entrepreneur who died in the crash drove a total of 5,960 kilometers in July and used NOP for 52.2 percent of the miles, according to the car's driving data.

All L2 assisted driving functions, including Adaptive Cruise Control, cannot effectively identify stationary vehicles ahead, expert says.
