The brand new Xpeng P7 electrical liftback can autonomously drive from the manufacturing line to the transport space on the manufacturing unit in China. This EV packs three in-house developed Turing AI chips for a mixed peak computing energy of two,250 TOPS. It’s 3 occasions greater than the Tesla Mannequin Y with the AI 4 SoC.
On August 26, Xpeng Vice President Yu Tao shared a video on Weibo displaying newly manufactured Xpeng P7 liftbacks autonomously driving from the manufacturing line to the transport space with out human drivers. In line with the corporate’s VP, the brand new P7 can autonomously drive in a restricted space of the Xpeng Guangzhou manufacturing facility.
Yu Tao shared that it’s the first step that marks the unmanned operation for Xpeng. Beforehand, firm officers shared that their newest ADAS system is the L3-ready mannequin. This stage of driving automation will permit drivers to take their eyes off the highway through the driving course of. Nevertheless, L3 driving techniques have but to turn out to be authorized in China.
Xpeng driving help system
The brand new Xpeng P7 primarily depends on cameras for driver help capabilities. They ship info to 3 Turing AI chips, self-developed by Xpeng. Every SoC has a computing energy of 750 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second). It’s 30 TOPS extra highly effective than the AI 4 processor of the Tesla Mannequin Y and 50 TOPS extra highly effective than the Nvidia Orin Thor. And the Xpeng P7 makes use of three of those chips, bringing the computing energy quantity to 2,250 TOPS.
The Xpeng P7 helps VLA (Imaginative and prescient-Language-Motion) and VLM (Imaginative and prescient-Language Fashions) massive language AI fashions. They assist the automobile to suppose and reply to completely different driving situations. The brand new liftback is able to the NGP (Navigation Guided Pilot) on city roads and highways.
Extra in regards to the Xpeng P7
The Xpeng P7 is a modern automobile with dimensions of 5017/1970/1427 mm. Its wheelbase reaches 3,008 mm. Due to a low beltline and hidden door handles, this EV has a drag coefficient of 0.201 Cd. Inside, the P7 has a 15.6-inch floating display, a skinny LCD instrument panel, and an 87-inch AR-HUD.
The Xpeng P7 comes normal with an 800V high-voltage system. Its entry-level variant has a single e-motor within the rear axle for 270 kW (362 hp). The AWD variant boasts a mixed peak energy output of 437 kW (586 hp), reaching a zero-to-hundred acceleration time of three.7 seconds. Two battery variants can be found: LFP for 74.9 kWh and ternary NMC for 92.2 kWh.
The Xpeng P7 began presales in early August, getting 10,000 orders in lower than seven minutes. This mannequin will begin gross sales in China on August 27.
