Xpeng and Huawei introduced the event of a brand new augmented actuality head-up show (AR-HUD) system, named “Chasing Mild Panorama,” designed for Xpeng’s upcoming mid-size electrical SUV, the G7. The system integrates Huawei’s {hardware} with Xpeng’s software program, offering enhanced navigation and driving help options.
The AR-HUD options an 87-inch show space able to projecting info throughout a number of lanes and overlaying eight driving situations: foremost and auxiliary roads, junctions, curves, roundabouts, offset intersections, tunnels, slopes, and elevated highways. The G7 will debut and open for pre-sale on June 11, with deliveries deliberate for the third quarter. The automobile is anticipated to be priced at round 250,000 yuan (approx. 36,000 USD) and focuses on revolutionary options and inside area.
The system combines Huawei’s optical algorithms, optical techniques, and elements with Xpeng’s imaging modules and AR composition engine. It overlays digital navigation onto the real-world view to help driver decision-making and enhance security.
The AR-HUD covers 85% of the NTSC color gamut, gives brightness above 12,000 nits, and has a distinction ratio 1800:1. It makes use of self-developed LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) imaging modules and automotive-grade chips. Algorithms for picture stabilisation, slope compensation, and latency correction assist cut back picture jitter attributable to automobile motion. The AR-HUD can mission navigation routes straight onto the street forward.
The system helps lane-level navigation, assisted driving, and security alerts. The lane steering aligns with precise street markings and features throughout cities and complicated intersections, together with roundabouts. The AR “gentle carpet” displayed matches the street floor and adjusts for obstacles and slopes.
The AR-HUD warns about autos altering lanes, pedestrians getting into the street, and facet and rear alerts. It additionally assists in rain or fog by figuring out autos and lane markings.
Huawei’s XHUD-AR engine integrates radar and cameras to ship AR icons with low offset on uneven roads and predicts automobile trajectory 0.3 seconds forward. Huawei’s crew contains over 7,000 engineers engaged on optics and algorithms. Their LCoS expertise is utilized in autos such because the AITO M9, with 12,000 nits brightness and 2K decision.
Xpeng’s XNGP clever driving system permits the AR-HUD to show info, together with visitors gentle countdowns, blind spot warnings, and impediment avoidance routes. The system is predicated on autonomous driving information overlaying tens of millions of kilometres. In keeping with Xpeng, the AR show reduces drivers’ must look down at instrument panels and should contribute to fewer accidents.
The collaboration between Huawei and Xpeng follows earlier disputes over autonomous emergency braking expertise and represents a shift in the direction of cooperation in automotive expertise improvement. Huawei focuses on communication structure and chip design, whereas Xpeng is liable for automobile platform and consumer interface improvement.
After the announcement, Xpeng’s inventory worth elevated 4% on the Hong Kong Change, elevating its market capitalisation to over 140 billion yuan (roughly 20 billion USD).
The Xpeng G7 and its AR-HUD system are anticipated to be obtainable later this yr, marking the introduction of this AR expertise into the mid-size electrical SUV section.
