The power of AI will drive the development of four major trends, namely chips, big models, autonomous driving, and robots. Xiaopeng Motors will enter these four directions. This year, Xiaopeng Motors will invest 3.5 billion yuan in AI and now has 2.51 EFLOPS of AI computing power, "said He Xiaopeng, Chairman of Xiaopeng Motors, at the Xiaopeng Motors AI Intelligent Driving Technology Conference on July 30th.
At the AI intelligent driving technology conference, Xiaopeng Motors released the AI Dimensity XOS 5.2.0 system, which added 72 new functions and optimized 412 functions. It was officially launched in China on July 30th and began to be launched in 10 countries including Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, and France on August 15th.
Xiaopeng Motors stated that thanks to the application of end-to-end large models, its intelligent driving system can achieve version iteration every 2 days, experience upgrade every 2 weeks, and push 5 full updates within 70 days.
After Tesla first launched the V12 version FSD system using an end-to-end large model, domestic car companies, autonomous driving companies, and others quickly followed suit. As of now, Xiaopeng Motors has started pushing the XNGP driving assistance system using an end-to-end large model to users; NIO, Ideal and other car companies have recently announced their end-to-end technology layouts and adjusted the organizational structure of their intelligent driving departments based on the needs of large models and artificial intelligence.
The "End to End Autonomous Driving Industry Research Report" jointly released by Chentao Capital and three parties shows that among the more than 30 frontline experts in the autonomous driving industry interviewed, 90% of them stated that their companies have invested in developing end-to-end technology, and most technology companies believe that they cannot afford to miss the consequences of this technological revolution.
He Xiaopeng stated at the press conference that intelligent driving without using large models will be eliminated.
Before releasing the above-mentioned intelligent driving, He Xiaopeng also made a comment on the current internal competition in the Chinese car market: "I was deeply impressed by my visit to the United States this time. Americans are thinking about how to make end-to-end autonomous driving assistance technology better, how to do it better than humans, such as Tesla. After the end-to-end big model, FSD is completely different from before. Next year, the end-to-end system products of intelligent driving in the United States will be stronger than those of old drivers. And Chinese (automotive) technology companies are still on the 'weekly sales chart', trying to make money. This is not what technological competition should be like
He Xiaopeng has become another car company executive who evaluates "weekly sales volume". On July 27th, Li Bin, Chairman and CEO of NIO, stated that if NIO could become the top seller, it would never release a weekly chart.
On July 30th, Ma Lin, Assistant Vice President of Brand and Communication at NIO, shouted on Weibo to Li Xiang, Chairman and CEO of Ideal Automobile, saying, "Being on the weekly list is somewhat of a low-level internal competition. Please stop, Brother Xiang. The mission of Chinese car companies at present is to achieve technological breakthroughs through research and development, isn't it?" Subsequently, Yang Xueliang, Senior Vice President of Geely Holding Group, forwarded Ma Lin's Weibo and said, "I also oppose the weekly list
