On October 10, He Xiaopeng tweeted, "In the first half of next year, we will launch max models including G9 in some cities (urban NGP). In the second half of next year, we will try to launch enhanced XNGP functions in major cities", "More information will be shared with you in 1024 (Xiaopeng Technology Day)".

On the same day, it was officially reported by Xiaopeng Automobile that Xiaopeng G9 successfully passed the test of closed automatic driving site according to the relevant requirements of Guangzhou ICV automatic driving function test. The test is conducted at night, and the automatic driving performance of vehicles in complex and comprehensive urban road scenarios is verified through 31 urban road scenarios including identification and response of various indicator signals, conflicting driving of left and right turning vehicles, parallel lane overtaking, two wheeled vehicles and pedestrian avoidance.

In all test scenarios, Xiaopeng G9 completed the driving operation safely and accurately within the scope of traffic laws and regulations, becoming the first mass production vehicle in the industry to successfully pass the test by upgrading and strengthening the automatic driving software without changing the hardware.

The biggest difference between Xiaopeng G9 test vehicle and other models passing the test on the market is that no additional sensors and computing units are added to the vehicle. The 360 ° sensing system, which is completely based on the camera, millimeter wave radar, laser radar and other sensing elements of the mass production vehicle, is used, and its auxiliary driving hardware level is completely the same as that of the mass production vehicle. As the fourth mass production model of Xiaopeng Automobile, the Xiaopeng G9 launched in September is positioned as an "ultra fast charging full intelligent SUV". With a fully upgraded hardware configuration and equipped with the second generation of Xiaopeng's auxiliary driving system XNGP, it will realize the ultimate product form of auxiliary driving - full scene auxiliary driving.
