Recently, Xiaopeng Automotive Chairman He Xiaopeng and Huawei Managing Director Yu Chengdong on the AEB of a distance debate has attracted a lot of attention。At the same time, it also makes AEB, a strange word, come into the sight of many netizens.。

AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) refers to the automatic emergency braking system of automobiles。The AEB system uses radar to measure the distance to the vehicle in front or an obstacle, and then uses the data analysis module to compare the measured distance with the alarm distance and the safe distance. When it is less than the alarm distance, an alarm will be given, and when it is less than the safe distance Even if the driver has not had time to step on the brake pedal, the AEB system will also start to automatically brake the car, thereby escorting safe travel。

Now, more and more cars emphasize one of their own intelligent driving capabilities, and AEB is an aspect of measuring the intelligent driving capabilities of cars。

AEB Debate

The cause of the incident was an interview from He Xiaopeng。

In early November, He Xiaopeng said of AEB in an interview: "First, most people probably never touch AEB.。Second, friends talked about AEB, I think 99% is fake, it is fake, those propaganda is not officially released by the company, all from small videos。Our people also went to ask, its AEB can't be opened at all, there are too many wrong brakes on the road。"

As soon as this statement came out, there was speculation that the friend business mentioned by He Xiaopeng was referring to Huawei's questioning community.。Now Yu Chengdong can't sit still, Yu Chengdong in the WeChat circle of friends unceremoniously sent a post back: "Even what is AEB, incredibly there are car companies in charge of the first did not understand it!" He also said that this "with some people say that intelligent driving is a fool, almost the same!"

This can not be said to be not heavy, He Xiaopeng then choked in the circle of friends: "I recently evaluated an industry chaos, the results of the industry is not anxious, non-industry down anxious, do not know what he is anxious。"

The gap between the top executives of the two major car companies quickly attracted the attention of the outside world. Subsequently, executives from other car companies, including Nezha Automobile CEO Zhang Yong, and Tengshi Sales Division General Manager Zhao Changjiang, also joined the AEB discussion, and have posted their own electric vehicles. AEB "transcript"。

During this period, there were online self-media accounts live testing the AEB of several electric vehicles on the market, among which the Xiaopeng G9 performed poorly, which once again triggered public discussion of the AEB.。

In response, He Xiaopeng once again shared his views on AEB on Weibo on November 8.。He Xiaopeng specifically mentioned that in the five-star safety assessment in China and Europe, there are many strict restrictions on the AEB environment, mainly in low-speed dynamics and a certain light environment.。Xiaopeng and many vehicles have received or are about to receive a double five-star safety assessment, and even some scenarios are ranked at the top.。

Just as everyone was wondering if Yu Chengdong would continue to express his views on the topic, He Xiaopeng suddenly issued a post on November 9 announcing the end of the AEB debate.。

On the morning of the 9th, He Xiaopeng said in a post on Weibo that he had discussed the technical route with Yu Chengdong and said that he would expand AEB functionality through OTA in the future.。In addition, he thanked Yu Chengdong for his advice and generosity, lamenting that "sometimes it's easier to be good friends after a misunderstanding."。

However, it is worth noting that He Xiaopeng did not disclose the results of his discussions with Yu Chengdong about AEB.。

"No result is the best result."

He Xiaopeng suddenly ended the controversy, so that many netizens watching the excitement a bit unsatisfying, and even some netizens in He Xiaopeng micro-blog under the ridicule said "He Zong unintelligent."。

Is He Xiaopeng really unintelligent？Yes and no.。

In fact, what He Xiaopeng fears most is that this matter has been discussed by netizens.。The real situation of the AEB of both Huawei and Xiaopeng has not yet been determined, assuming that the netizens' evaluation of the two is 50-50, as long as the AEB debate continues, Xiaopeng will face more and more positive and negative comments.。And as there are more and more related discussions and rumors online, it's actually hard to tell if the information is true or false, which may cause potential customers to choose to wait and see, or even turn to other car companies.。This is the "unbearable pain" of Xiaopeng.。

Since the beginning of this year, Xiaopeng's delivery data has been slowly climbing, with a larger increase in the third quarter.。According to Xiaopeng's disclosure, Xiaopeng Motors delivered a total of 20,002 new cars in October, up 31% from the previous month and 292% from a year earlier.。This is the first time that Xiaopeng's monthly deliveries have exceeded 20,000, and this is the ninth consecutive month of growth in Xiaopeng's monthly deliveries this year.。It can be said that Xiaopeng's current development momentum is still relatively good.。

In this case, it is too risky to drag the company into the AEB discussion for a long time.。To develop well is to reduce the risk of accidents, only the development of malaise need to do high-risk things to fight, improve the heat。Obviously, He Xiaopeng understands this.。So even in his article and Yu Chengdong "shake hands and make peace" under the micro-blog was ridiculed "He Zong unintelligent" also does not matter, after all, the mouth of the loss is not painful, affecting sales is really "cut meat."。

However, whether this step of He Xiaopeng's "timely braking" has any effect, whether the AEB discussion really affects the thoughts of some potential car owners, and whether this debate will affect Xiaopeng's sales, it will have to wait until next month's delivery data is released to see the results.。
