Xpeng Motors Announces Next-Generation 5G Self-Driving Architecture

Electric startup Xpeng Motors is starting to emerge as a strong competitor to Tesla in China with its advanced battery-powered cars. Apart from building state-of-the-art electric cars, the company focuses on autonomous driving and vehicle delivery. The latest results of this work were announced at Auto Guangzhou 2020 when Xpeng announced the next generation of autonomous engineering. The XPILOT was introduced in the company's new P7 Smart Sedan, which is a strong competitor to the Tesla Model S in China. Deliveries of the P7 began in June. The latest version of the XPILOT will bring several autonomous driving features to Chinese customers for the first time, including a Level 3 autonomous driving function for roads, urban roads, and auto parking.
