Like Tesla’s, it uses a vision-based approach using only cameras, albeit more cameras than its American competitor.
I rode in an Xpeng Mona 1 with the latest software from my hotel’s underground parking garage to a parking garage in Xpeng’s HW in Guangzhou. The 20-minute drive in busy city streets, highway traffic, and a complex underground garage was flawless.
While the comparison to Tesla’s FSD are easy, the most impressive aspect of this product is that Xpeng offers it as standard even in its entry-level Mona electric vehicles.
In my experience, it is highly similar to Tesla’s FSD v14, but a reminder that both require constant driver attention
The cost difference is just astronomical for what is basically the same capacity. It just doesn’t come with the promised of becoming “unsupervised self-driving”, but Tesla has always failed to deliver on that promised anyway.
And you can’t really complain with an Xpeng car since its NGP system is included in the car.
At the link there is a 22 minute video of the drive.
The steering wheel has a touch sensor requiring constant touch. The driver had his hand face up on his thigh just caressing the steering wheel.
