Intelligent driving

Global navigation assistance NOP+

NOP+ (Navigate on Pilot Plus) is an auxiliary driving function developed based on the second-generation technology platform NT2. It can independently complete intersection traffic, navigation on highways, urban expressways, and urban ground roads based on set navigation routes. It is capable of driving tasks such as lane changing, overtaking and lane changing, and bypassing vehicles, and has the ability to safely assist and avoid obstacles in the face of standard construction sections and large obstacles on the road.

As of April 20,The verified mileage of roads in the entire region reached 1,207,977 kilometers, covering 726 cities, of which the verified mileage of expressways and urban expressways reached 360,000 kilometers, and the verified mileage of urban roads reached 847,000 kilometers..

Function instructions:

• Function activation

Go to “NIO App” → “Car” → “Smart Driving” → activate “NIO Smart Driving Points” → complete “Usage Guide and Test” and other activation tasks;

• Range selection

After the Banyan·Rong 2.6.0 version upgrade is completed, click “Settings” → “Intelligent Driving” → “Global Navigation Assistance” → select “Global” for the function range, and you can use the function within the available road sections in urban areas.

Global Navigation Assistance NOP + supports the following capabilities:

• Automatically enter the correct lane according to the navigation route: autonomously enter the lane required for navigation through the perception of the surrounding environment (including ground arrows, lane lines, other traffic participants, etc.);

• Autonomous overtaking: Based on the speed and intention of the vehicle in front, as well as the prediction of the traffic efficiency of adjacent lanes, autonomously enter a more efficient lane;

• Passing through intersections: By sensing the structure of the intersection and combining traffic rules and traffic conditions, the trajectory planning of going straight or turning left and right is completed. At the same time, combined with the status of the traffic lights, vehicles can stop on red lights and go on green lights;

• Entering the waiting area: According to the structure and signal light combination of the waiting area, enter the waiting area independently. Note: The system currently does not support independent entry into the straight-travel waiting area and the waiting area where the entry timing is controlled by text light boards;

• Civilized courtesy: When passing zebra crossings and turning left and right, actively give way to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles and pass in a civilized manner;

• U-turn at intersections: supports autonomous U-turns at some intersections, including a U-turn and a three-turn U-turn that adds a reverse maneuver;

• Active detour: Actively detour around parked vehicles, two-wheelers and pedestrians. Depending on the road conditions, detours within and across lanes can be achieved, improving traffic efficiency;

• Intelligent adjustment of speed limit: refer to the road speed limit, sense speed limit signs, traffic speed, and road environment conditions, and intelligently select an efficient and safe speed;

• Defensive driving to prevent risks: When passing through blind spots, gaps, queuing traffic and other scenes with obstructed vision, the system will intelligently adjust the vehicle speed, appropriately shift or change lanes to stay away from the risk area and reduce the possibility of danger.

NOP + The following scenarios require the user to drive through manually:

• When passing through areas where people and vehicles are mixed, the system still cannot cope with all emergencies;

• When the field of view is blocked, the system cannot obtain sufficient environmental information and may not be able to follow the navigation route;

• At multiple intersections, large intersections under overpasses, or other intersections with complex structures, the system may not be able to guarantee smooth traffic;

• The system cannot guarantee 100% timely braking or avoidance of bumps on the road, scattered cartons, cones, or sudden small obstacles;

• In severe weather and road conditions such as construction diversions, narrow paths, snow cover, rain, snow and ice, the system may not be able to guarantee safe passage;

• Reverse and turn around at intersections only support some verified intersections;

• In various accident scenarios such as traffic accidents, rollover vehicles, two-wheelers, and fallen pedestrians, the system cannot guarantee safe passage.

Global Navigation Assistance NOP+ iteration content is as follows:

• Added the ability to actively bypass reverse-traveling vehicles: by improving the ability to understand the driving intentions of retrograde vehicles, drivers will more actively and safely use the opposite lane to pass when conditions permit, ensuring traffic efficiency on the basis of safety;

• Added the ability to actively slow down and deviate in risk scenarios such as community exits and roadside gaps: It improves the risk judgment ability of stationary vehicles in gaps, and the system can deviate away from the vehicle in advance to cope with the sudden start of the vehicle potential risks later;

• Optimize the comfort of following cars and frequent starts and stops in extreme congestion: Improved the smoothness and comfort of acceleration and deceleration switching;

• Optimize the comfort in scenarios where narrow lane traffic, line pressing vehicles, etc. may cut in: when other vehicles cut in or side-by-side vehicles invade the lane, the acceleration and deceleration control of the own vehicle is more intelligent and comfortable;

• Optimize the accuracy of risk determination and make defensive deceleration more comfortable and reasonable: When passing through blind spots, crossing pedestrians and non-motor vehicles, the system will more accurately judge risks, making defensive deceleration decisions more human-like and tactile. Comfort;

• Optimize the comfort of direction and speed control during lane changing: steering is softer, and acceleration and deceleration are more comfortable when looking for space to change lanes;

• Optimize comfort when passing through narrow lanes and passing by vehicles: the system can actively deflect to the other side and gently decelerate when necessary, while ensuring safety and comfort;

• Improve the advance and accuracy of navigation lane changes: the system will enter the lane corresponding to the navigation route earlier and more timely, and reduce the frequency of invalid lane changes in the process;

• Improve the enthusiasm for bypassing stopped vehicles, vehicles blocking intersections, and slow-speed electric vehicles: the system will be more active and proactive in bypassing stopped vehicles in front of intersections, improving traffic efficiency;

• Improve the success rate of going straight and making unprotected left turns at intersections: driving trajectories can be planned more flexibly within intersections. When the traffic flow is large or interfered by other cars, the driving trajectory planning is smarter and more reasonable, which improves the success rate of crossing the intersection;

• Improve overtaking enthusiasm and lane-changing success rate: By improving the understanding of the road environment, vehicles can change lanes in time to avoid parking on the roadside; when encountering a creeping vehicle before an intersection, they can also actively overtake to avoid following for a long time; initiate a lane change When there are other vehicles behind, the vehicle will continue to drift toward the target lane, allowing the vehicle to understand its own intentions and complete the lane change more quickly when there is room for lane change.

• Improving the perception distance and prediction ability of yellow light flashing and green light countdown at intersections can make it more reasonable: through the improvement of perception ability and continuous learning of human driver behavior, the system can make earlier and more reasonable judgments when the green light turns to yellow. Should the vehicle pass through the intersection or stop in time.

Enhanced lane centering assist Pilot+

Enhanced Lane Centering Assist Pilot+ is developed by NIO for the second-generation technology platform NT2 and is based on the NADArch architecture. It is an upgraded version of the original Lane Centering Assist Pilot.

The system can control the direction, acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle based on the lane lines, road structure and reference traffic flow direction, so as to achieve center driving in the lane, go straight through the intersection, and respond to the corresponding traffic light control, stop when the light is red and go when the light is green.

Enhanced lane centering assist Pliot+ capabilities:

• Lane centering: Supports driving in the center on lanes that meet vehicle width requirements based on various common lane lines;

• It can still run when the lane lines are blurred: it supports the operation of the function when the lane lines are blurred and there are lane lines on only one side. The system will plan the driving trajectory based on the perceived road structure and traffic flow direction;

• Go straight through the intersection: By sensing the structure of the intersection, combined with traffic rules and traffic flow conditions, complete the straight path planning, and combined with the status of the traffic lights, vehicles can stop on red lights and go on green lights;

• Side deflection avoidance: Supports autonomous deflection and avoidance of pedestrians, two-wheelers, and some intruding vehicles in the lane, improving peace of mind and passing efficiency;

• Coping with universal obstacles: Supports active deceleration for medium and large-sized universal obstacles in the lane, making it safer to use.

Function usage instructions: After completing the version upgrade and function activation, go to “Settings” → “Smart Driving” → select “Enhanced Lane Centering”.

It should be noted that for the enhanced lane centering assist Pliot+, you need to scan the “Learning Guide” QR code that pops up on the central control screen to activate or upgrade.

Scenarios where this function requires special attention or is not recommended:

• It is not supported to enter the straight-travel waiting area, and it does not respond to the signal light signage displayed in pure text;

• Autonomous left and right turns and U-turns are not currently supported, so when you are in a non-through lane, please pay attention to manually controlling the vehicle to enter the correct lane;

• When passing through intersections with a large flow of people and areas where people and vehicles are mixed, the system is still unable to cope with all emergencies;

• When the field of view is blocked, the system's perception of traffic lights will be affected, which may result in the inability to respond to the lights correctly and illegal passage of intersections;

• At multiple intersections, large intersections under overpasses, or other intersections with complex structures, the system cannot guarantee smooth traffic;

• In severe weather and road conditions such as construction diversions, narrow paths, ice and snow, rain, snow and ice, the system cannot guarantee safe passage.

Full-scenario misacceleration suppression assistance MAI+
