I recently went on an exclusive test drive of XPeng’s “City Navigation Guided Pilot” in the city of Guangzhou, China — virtually. I rode in the car via what was basically a Zoom call alongside an XPeng engineer, PR people, and a “driver.” They had 4 cameras set up to show me different angles, views, or screens so that I could get as close to a real-world sense of the drive as possible. It was no “” for me, but it was actually closer to riding in the car than I thought it would be.
Overall, the general takeaway is that I expected to be impressed with CNGP because of video footage I examined previously, but it clearly exceeded my expectations and I might even say blew me away. We drove through heavy and sometimes chaotic city traffic going into the center of Guangzhou and then back out for over one hour and the driver didn’t have to disengage CNGP once! Furthermore, there was no instance where it seemed he’d have to disengage.
There are a lot of interesting points made in the comments under the video. I’ll come back to those at the end of this article. First, I want to highlight various notable segments of the drive., the car makes a U-turn. In the process, a couple of motorbikes go in front of our car, one from the opposite direction, and the XPeng CNGP system seems to respond ideally to those challenges, eventually making the U-turn in a safe way., a minivan cuts right in front of us.
It was just after that as well that I asked about the voice assistant, which was saying what the car would do and also warning the driver about things from time to time. It crossed my mind that that was a very useful safety feature of the car to help make sure the driver is continuing to pay attention. It also can help explain to the driver what is happening in a scenario where that person does not automatically notice where the car is turning, changing lanes, steering around something, etc.
