XPENG OTA UPDATE XOS 5.8.0 TEST DRIVE AFTER USING TESLA FSD SUPERVISED

EV Channels Review

The Ludicrous Feed team test drives the Xpeng G6 following the XOS 5.8.0 software update, focusing on improvements to the Xpilot system. While the update aims to enhance lane centering and the co-driving experience, the review highlights that Xpilot remains a Level 2 driver assistance system, distinct from the more advanced XNGP. The hosts frequently compare Xpilot's capabilities to Tesla's FSD Supervised, which they recently experienced in Australia. Key takeaways include that Xpilot is a foundational technology, more usable for the general public than advanced systems, and offers quality-of-life improvements like automatic indicator cancellation. However, the review notes that Xpilot still requires significant driver intervention and doesn't yet make drivers 'better'. The primary bottleneck for advanced autonomous systems like XNGP in Australia is identified as regulatory approval rather than technological limitations.
