BEIJING: Xpeng has rolled a global OTA (over-the-air) upgrade of its XOS 5.8.0 which means the Chinese automaker is the first and only automaker in Europe to offer standard human-machine co-driving.
When Lane Centering Control (LCC) is active, the system now shares control with the driver.
Rather than disengaging when the driver steers, LCC remains active, resulting in smoother, more natural driving assistance.
LCC also demonstrates improved performance in complex scenarios such as highway merges and exits, with reduced steering oscillation.
Apart from that, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been significantly enhanced for higher cornering speeds and more comfortable deceleration.
There's also a new Pet Mode for pet-loving families, which is said to ensure safety and comfort when pets are left unattended briefly.
Windows close automatically, doors lock, and the climate system maintains a comfortable temperature and air circulation.
The Auto Climate Control Mode with external air circulation prevents overheating or excessive cold.
Owners will receive real-time alerts via the Xpeng app and can remotely activate or deactivate the mode.
This feature enhances safety for users who need to briefly leave their pets in the car.
With this OTA upgrade, owners also enjoy a smarter and more personalised charging experience.
The new KaraFun feature allows hands-free in-car karaoke.
Meanwhile, in response to feedback from users in tropical climates, the air conditioning minimum temperature has been lowered to 16°C for enhanced comfort.
The Dashcam function has added Emergency Recording for greater peace of mind.
This iteration also brings an upgrade to Xcombo, which now supports 21 languages and offers over 700 atomic capabilities for an intelligent and highly personalized experience.
Users can easily create and edit customised scenarios through the in-car display or the mobile app.
At the same time, with a wide range of official preset scenarios, users can switch between modes for entertainment, safety, comfort, energy saving, and more.
“With the rollout of XOS 5.8.0, Xpeng creates a more diverse, convenient, and intelligent mobility space for our users worldwide,” said Xpeng head of international development of services Alex Tang.
