Given that the G9 SUV uses self-driving technology and has not been modified, XPENG was granted permission by the Chinese government to test it on public roads. This is a first for China.
The company confirmed that it did not make any changes in its devices, but rather all that it had was to make updates of the programs until it obtained this historic approval of its electric car, which was valued by the Vice President of the Self -Driving Center at Xpeng, Shinzo Wu, when he said: “Obtaining a permit Our research, development, and software in self-driving are strongly supported by the road driving test of a commercial vehicle.
According to Xpeng, who claims she anticipates benefiting from the Platform Technology Group’s training of advanced driver assistance systems and self-driving systems, Wu believed that this step marked the beginning of “marketing robots in the future,” which is the primary objective of the Chinese company in the upcoming period.
The car has 31 headers, a front camera, and two Lidar sensors, which is deemed to be all the equipment required for driving independently and without adjustments. Two Nvidia Drive Orin SIM cards handle all of this data.
The G9 is a five-seater electric vehicle that can travel 702 km on a single charge and produces 543 hp and 717 Nm of torque. According to the Chinese company, it is the fastest electric vehicle in the world to be charged, as it can travel 200 km in less than five minutes and charge from 10% to 80% of its battery in only 15 minutes.
The car started being delivered to clients last month, and according to what the firm declared in advance, the G9 model was created specifically for foreign sales. Its price starts at around $42,000. Xpeng intends to expand globally with this vehicle.
