Xpeng NGP

In central Guangzhou, for example, about 30 percent of roads don't have bike lanes, and e-scooters need to use the same roads as motor vehicles.

City NGP feature is expected to cover dozens of additional cities within the year, Xpeng said.

These users were judged to be distracted by the vehicle's driver monitoring system because their eyes were too small.

The regulations will take effect on August 1, marking a breakthrough in autonomous driving legislation in China.

Xpeng P5 test cars equipped with the City NGP did not need to be taken over at all, or only once, during multiple tests, he said.

Xpeng said it has achieved 96 percent NGP user penetration and the feature accumulated 224,119 driving hours in the past year.

Xpeng owners have an initial point of 100, and those with more than 90 points get priority access to the public beta OTA upgrades.

Xpeng users will be given an initial 100 points, which will be deducted if they are found to be abusing assisted driving.

While many acknowledge that the age of autonomous driving is coming, the vast majority may still underestimate the speed, and Xpeng Motors has just demonstrated that.

Xpeng Motors said Thursday that users have accumulated more than 5 million kilometers using the Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP) feature as of May 31, 125 days since the feature was made available to users on Jan. 26.
