Chinese electric vehicle startup Xpeng has released updates to its semi-autonomous driving system in a bid to counter Tesla in China. Xpeng has released XPILOT 3.5, the latest version of its Advanced Driver Assistance System, or ADAS. This refers to a driving software system with some autonomous functions, but where a driver is still required.

In XPILOT 3.5, the company will launch a feature called City NGP, which stands for Navigational Guided Pilot. The system allows Xpeng vehicles to change lanes, accelerate or decelerate, and overtake, exit and exit highway vehicles. The system was previously designed for highways only, but now Xpeng will release this feature for urban driving. XPILOT 3.5 will be available to owners of this year's Xpeng P5. The update will be available to customers in the first half of 2022.

Xpeng has also released a new charger for its vehicles. The company says that in just five minutes of charging with the new charger, the car battery will have a range of up to 200 kilometers.
