Can Tucki P5 driver's assistance equipped with laser radar impress you?

Tucki P5 was officially listed on September 15, and the subsidized price range is15.79-223,900 yuan. As the third mass-produced model of Xpeng Motors after G3 and P7, the new car will compete with popular models such as Guangzhou Automobile S PLUS, Geometry A PRO and BYD Qin PLUS EV for the compact pure electric car market. As the only 200,000-class intelligent family car in its class, Tucki P5 has a long battery life of 600 kilometers, outstanding technology configuration, a variety of intelligent cockpit options, and is equipped with XPILOT 3.5 automatic driving assistance system. At the same time, it is also the only mass production model equipped with laser radar. So what kind of car experience can Tucki P5 bring us?

First, let's start with the model of Tucki P5. The price range of P5 in Tucki is 654,38+05.79-223,900 yuan. In addition to the competitors at the same level mentioned at the beginning, popular fuel vehicles such as Accord and Camry will also compete with them. Compared with these competing models, Tucki P5 has richer intelligent configuration, excellent comfort and driving assistance. So it seems that the starting price of 654,380+057,900 is not difficult to accept.

At present, Tucki P5*** has launched six optional models of 460G, 460E, 550G, 550E, 550P and 600P, which will be officially delivered at the end of 10. The naming of vehicles is very unique. Numbers 460, 550 and 600 represent NEDC cruising range, letters P, E, N and G represent the intelligence level of XPILOT, P represents the strongest version, and G represents the lowest entry version. Is it easy to understand?

However, the Tucki P5 is actually equipped with the XPILOT 2.5 autopilot assistance system. Because the 550E and 460E models are equipped with XPILOT3.0 hardware system, the E-series models can be equipped with XPILOT 3.0 software upgrade package. The standard lifetime service price of software and upgrade service is 36,000 yuan, and the price of ordering lifetime service before vehicle delivery is 20,000 yuan.

The 600P and 550P models are equipped with XPILOT3.5 hardware system. If you buy a P-series model, you can also choose to install the XPILOT 3.5 software upgrade package. The standard lifetime service price of software and upgrade service is 45,000 yuan, and the lifetime service price ordered before vehicle delivery is 25,000 yuan. This operation is very similar to Tesla's FSD, and the owner can choose according to his own needs, which is very flexible.

After introducing the software, let's take a look at the hardware strength of Tucki P5. This is also one of the most prominent highlights of Tucki P5, the world's first smart car with mass-produced lidar. I don't explain what lidar is here, just what role lidar has.

Lidar can model the surrounding environment with centimeter-level accuracy, that is, use 3D data to build the model. Different from millimeter-wave radar and camera, lidar can identify the specific outline and distance of surrounding obstacles more accurately, without missing or misjudging the obstacles in front, and the more effective detection distance is also farther. If these hardware devices are compared to our eyes, then lidar is more stereoscopic, farther and more accurate than other devices.

In addition, Tucki P5 single lidar can cover 120 degree area, and the detection distance reaches150m. Moreover, lidar is not affected by ambient light and weather, and its spatial resolution is higher, and it can even detect black targets with low reflectivity.

The longer detection distance can also make the vehicle ready in advance. The centimeter-level ranging accuracy can be compatible with high-speed, urban roads and parking lots, and it has stronger perception ability for traffic jams, stationary vehicles or cones, and can respond in advance. Compared with a single camera or a combination of camera and millimeter wave radar, it is more accurate, safer and more suitable for more complicated road conditions in China.

In addition to two high-precision laser radars, Tucki P5 is also equipped with five millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensor, 13 high-definition camera and 1 set of sub-meter high-precision positioning unit (GNSS navigation system +IMU inertial measurement unit) and other sensing hardware, which combines two schemes of visual perception and radar. With such hardware, Tucki P5 will definitely have a stronger impression than other models.

At present, most of the "smart" cars on sale only support high-speed autonomous navigation and assisted driving, while Tucki P5 has more advanced hardware equipment such as laser radar. After updating the software, it can realize autonomous navigation and assisted driving in the city (NGP), and vehicles can drive autonomously according to navigation, which also includes overtaking, car following, automatic speed limit adjustment and traffic around the island.

This also makes Tucki P5 the first vehicle in the world with urban NGP function. Its application scope extends from high-speed and expressway to urban roads, with more use scenarios and stronger and more comprehensive functions. For consumers, expanding the application scope of driving assistance can also greatly alleviate driving fatigue and make every trip more relaxed and comfortable.

How is the autonomous navigation and driving of the city (NGP) realized? Let me give you a simple example. For example, Tucki P5 uses the city NGP function to complete the turning operation at the intersection in the city, and this operation will be divided into three parts in the city NGP function.

The first is the identification of turning lanes, which is realized by lane line identification and high-precision map. After the vehicle recognizes the lane line, the high-precision map determines which lane the vehicle should enter.

Secondly, it is the identification of traffic lights. Tucki P5 can use sensors to collect information of traffic lights in advance and determine whether vehicles can pass. P5 in Tucki will also take the initiative to avoid busy roads to avoid accidents. When the traffic lights change to Huang Shi, vehicles can slow down and stop. There is another situation, that is, when the system judges that the traffic light in front is flashing yellow, Tucki P5 will judge whether it is safe, and only when it is safe will it pass normally, which almost does everything we can do when driving.

Finally, the vehicle turns autonomously. In practice, vehicles should not only identify the lane lines after turning, but also identify other social vehicles and pedestrians to avoid collision accidents, thus ensuring driving safety. Of course, it can also achieve complex road conditions such as bypassing the island and going up and down the automatic ramp in the city.

With this multi-sensor hardware, Tucki P5 becomes more capable in overtaking, bypassing and avoiding pedestrians. At the same time, the memory parking function of Tucki P5 parking lot has also been enhanced. It can deal with complex scenes such as vehicles entering and leaving the parking lot, cars coming from the opposite side, pedestrians shuttling and continuous right-angle bends, and complete intelligent parking assistance for vehicles. More scientific and technological ability, easy to use.

Give another simple example. When you drive Tucki P5 into a qualified garage, you can turn on the memory parking function of the parking lot, and Tucki P5 can avoid pedestrians and complete the parking operation by itself. This process does not require too much intervention from you. For novice drivers, this is a perfect parking scheme. However, the memory parking function of the parking lot needs to be turned on in a certain driving environment, and it doesn't work in any scene. You can choose the optimal path and parking space. Please pay attention to driving safety and intervene in time if necessary.

At the same time, the vehicle can also realize many active and passive safety functions of 10, such as full-speed adaptive cruise, automatic lane change, lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, blind area monitoring and early warning, door opening early warning and so on. Its comprehensive ability will also bring all-round driving safety without dead ends.

Of course, the NVIDIA Xavier supercomputing platform on Tucki P5 also contributed. It has the strongest 30 TOPS computing ability in its class, and with the intelligent assisted driving algorithm, it has achieved a higher level of intelligent assisted driving ability. It is worth mentioning that, as a highly intelligent new energy vehicle, Tucki P5 also supports OTA upgrade of vehicle life cycle. After purchasing XPILOT3.5 software service, the city NGP function can be realized through OTA upgrade, and the memory parking function can also be realized through OTA after purchasing software service.

According to official data of Xpeng Motors, the order for P5 exceeded 5,000 units in Tucki only after 7 hours of pre-sale, and the configuration of dual laser radars accounted for more than 70%, which shows that consumers now attach importance to intelligent driving assistance and driving safety.

Summary:

Relying on the strongest perceptive hardware design in its class and the only high-order intelligent assisted driving system in the world, Tucki P5 can not only bring more high-order intelligent assisted driving functions, but also bring drivers a more secure, relaxed and comfortable driving environment, which is very advantageous in its class. Of course, in addition to stronger driving assistance, 600 km battery life, leapfrog space performance and comprehensive intelligent cockpit options will also be provided.
