Smart Driving

The first availability of BYD's city pilot assisted driving feature will be March 30, and the Denza N7 will be the first model to be able to use it, according to local media.

In smart driving, users can access real-time high-precision positioning, and more accurate road features through in-vehicle terminals to help sense, decide, and control smart driving.

If it moves forward smoothly, Nio will be the fastest among Chinese companies to mass-produce end-to-end features, LatePost said, citing a person close to the company.

At the end of January, NOP+ reached 651,640 kilometers of urban road coverage in 606 cities.

Xpeng said it will begin development of globally available highway NGP in 2024 and globally available XNGP functionality in 2025.

BYD will invest RMB 100 billion in vehicle intelligence in the future to lead the way in NEV development, the company's chairman said.

Li Auto's local counterpart Nio has unveiled its first in-house developed autonomous driving chip, which will be used in the ET9 executive flagship sedan.

As of today, XNGP's smart driving capabilities cover 90 percent of the cities where owners of Max version Xpeng vehicles are located.

"I strongly believe that the demand for ADAS will surge in the next five years, and Xpeng will be the preferred smart EV brand for consumers," said Xpeng CEO.

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.
