Xpeng’s Bet on Enhanced Autonomous Driving with Eagle Eye Technology in New P7+ Sedan: A Potential Game-Changer in EV Industry
Xpeng is banking on Eagle Eye technology to improve self-driving in their new P7+ sedan. The Eagle Eye system is known for its superior data gathering accuracy compared to lidar sensors currently used in its other models such as the P5 sedan and G6 SUV.
The updated autonomous system equipped with Eagle Eye hardware and software has demonstrated more precise data gathering abilities, says He Xiaopeng, the founder and CEO of the automobile manufacturer. This technology can boost the self-driving functionality of the P7+, a full-electric sedan designed to compete with Tesla's Model 3.
"Artificial Intelligence will serve as the cornerstone for future Electric Vehicle development," he conveyed during a digital press conference on Thursday. "AI techniques will be extensively implemented in smart cars, and our objective is to establish a standard for an AI-driven vehicle within the sector."
The electric vehicle manufacturer from Guangzhou has not yet revealed the cost of the P7+, but the company promises to price it within reach for numerous prospective purchasers. The standard version boasts a maximum travel distance of up to 602km, slightly less than the 606km range of the Model 3. The starting price for the Model 3, which is produced in Shanghai, is set by Tesla at 231,900 yuan, equivalent to US$32,764.
Tesla is in the process of creating a Full Self-Driving (FSD) system that does not require the use of lidar sensors. Although it hasn't been given the green light for use in China, it's anticipated that the FSD will commence trials in the beginning of the following year. For installations in the United States, Tesla prices the FSD at US$8,000, in addition to a monthly fee of US$99.
