Who is "someone in the west"? Everyone can think of Musk with their toes. This sentence reminds Uncle Che of Li's previous concern for the public. It is said that the bosses of these new car-making enterprises seem to be "people with temperament", and their public speeches are also swearing. "The sky is full of air." After all, traditional car companies are still relatively stable. Anyway, how did Musk provoke him?
165438+1On October 20th, Xpeng Automobile said at Guangzhou Auto Show that it would upgrade the autopilot software and hardware system for the 202 1 model, and adopt lidar technology to improve its performance. You know, lidar is the core hardware of advanced autonomous driving technology. Although the cost is relatively high, the recognition performance is better than a little.
Subsequently, an American female media person commented: "Why does Tucki use lidar? I believe it will greatly improve the accuracy, but it will seriously limit the scalability of its autonomous method. Do they realize that they can't copy Tesla's method? " Don't underestimate China's new car-making power. Recently, Xpeng Motors is very popular in the US stock market, and it has a certain degree of attention in the American automobile circle.
Sure enough, the rhythm was raised as scheduled, and Musk responded on Twitter that Xpeng Motors only had Tesla's old software and no Tesla's latest neural network computer. Besides, it's only a problem in Tucki, but not in other companies in China.
Not only that, an American netizen asked Musk if Xpeng Motors copied Tesla's old code, and Musk directly responded: "Yes, they also stole Apple's code." Musk said so clearly that he didn't give any face. How can he Xiao Peng not be angry? !
Last year, Tesla and Xpeng Motors went to court. Cao, the current head of perception of Xpeng Motors, is actually a former senior engineer of Tesla and one of the 40 employees who have access to the source code of Tesla's autonomous driving project. However, the case has not yet been tried, so it is hard to say that Xpeng Motors copied Tesla's technology. However, since this time, Musk has repeatedly choked and laughed at the "inside" of Xpeng Motors.
There was a quarrel between the two companies, and the lawsuit was also going on. Naturally, there will be no shortage of words. So, can Xpeng Motors "beat the shit out of Tesla"? In the short term, it is extremely difficult.
In the third quarter of 2020, XPILOT will become the standard for all departments. 3.0? The Tucki P7 of the automatic driving assistance system delivered 62 10 vehicles, and the sales performance was quite gratifying. Of course, this is compared with the new domestic car-making forces. Public data shows that Tesla models? In the third quarter, the sales volume reached 34 170 vehicles, about 5.5 times that of Tucki P7. Not much to say at the brand level. There is a big gap between the two cars in market sales performance and product awareness. Everyone knows this.
Che Shu's conclusion
So, will one day, Xpeng Motors really "beat Tesla to the ground"? Anyway, Uncle Che is looking forward to it and psychologically supports domestic products. At the same time, it must be admitted that Tesla is the "big brother" of electric vehicles after all, and its understanding of products, architecture and technology applications is worth learning from domestic new automobile manufacturers. For this matter, Uncle Che would like to quote the famous saying "strategic emphasis, tactical contempt". Uncle che prefers positive "hard state" to cowardice! I want to know which side you support.
