Amap is China’s leading mapping, navigation and location-based
services provider. Designed for intelligent driving, Amap’s
3rd-generation in-car navigation system leverages Artificial
Intelligence (AI) visual technology and high precision maps to
provide highly accurate lane-level navigation, delivering
co-guidance for both vehicle and driver. By integrating navigation
with high-precision maps, it operates as both an infotainment and
autonomous driving feature. Precision navigation tracks, not only
the current road, but also individual lanes. Dynamic information
and autonomous driving decision information are accurately matched
with lane-level navigation, so that the driver can perceive the
vehicle’s driving status more intuitively in real time.
According to QuestMobile, Amap has over 570 million monthly
active users as of September 2020. Currently, Amap’s high precision
maps cover over 300,000 kilometers of highways and urban
expressways, and are expanding coverage of ordinary urban roads.
Its real-time road condition updates cover 360+ cities and 95% of
the highway network across China.
The SR display function redefines driver-vehicle interaction.
When the Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP) function is in use, the
status of the vehicle and its surrounding environment are clearly
and vividly displayed in 3D rendering on the central panel,
enhancing the user's driving experience and sense of safety. The SR
autonomous driving display integrates the more comprehensive,
accurate, and real-time data of Amap’s high precision maps,
including real-time traffic information, lane-level road
conditions, and traffic forecasts, to offer a superior experience
of lane-level navigation assisted autonomous driving.
“The strong partnership between XPeng and Amap developed the NGP
function that adds extraordinary value to users. The NGP seamlessly
incorporates high-precision maps into autonomous driving,
coordinating the maps with perception and planning, and delivers
the outcome at the user interface level. We will further deepen
this partnership to lead the smart EV transformation and to
optimize our customers’ driving experience," said Dr. Xinzhou Wu,
Vice President of XPeng.
XPeng has integrated Amap’s navigation information with its NGP
function, not only providing the driver with a clearer SR 3D
rendering display, but also assisting drivers to make judgments,
delivering a safer driving experience. XPeng’s NGP technology
demands higher-precision maps with greater accuracy, comprehensive
coverage, rich detail, better driver-vehicle interaction,
reliability, real-time navigability and location
identification.
XPeng’s NGP highway navigation solution conducts navigation
assisted autonomous driving from point A to B based on the
navigation route set by the driver. The new NGP function performs
automatic speed limit adjustment, automatic switching to highways,
optimized lane choices, automatic entering and exiting ramps, and
automatic overtaking, making highway driving a safer, smoother,
easier and more pleasant experience.
In beta test driving for a cumulative distance of 7,718 km,
conducted on highways in Guangzhou during 11 to 15 January, XPeng’s
NGP function required only 0.77 driver interventions per 100km
driven, and achieved a lane change and overtake success rate of
98.65%, and a success rate of 89.52% when entering and exiting
highway ramps.
The new SR display for autonomous driving functions enhances
safety by offering better presentation of the vehicle status to the
driver, including:
- Clear status display to show who is in
control
- Clear boundaries to define what conditions
require driver’s intervention
- Clear guidelines to alert the driver when
to intervene
With clear boundaries and division of responsibilities, the NGP
ensures the status of the vehicle is clearly defined. The driver is
informed when he/she needs to take over, through accurate risk
scenario identification and clear hierarchical takeover
reminders.
