Li Auto Self-driving And AI Tech Tested

[@baltazarkosa29]

I think that this level of self-driving ability is impressive. thanks for such a detailed review!

[@InsideChinaAuto]

No problem at all. This is the place to find your self-driving Chinese car videos.

[@harmony3138]

Wow, your Chinese is pretty good. Was it difficult to learn?

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Haha. It's really not that great at all and should be considerably better by now. Light stuff is easy to learn I'd say but it gets harder. Like everything, it takes consistent practice.

[@aalmuhairi]

Weird, seen many OTA 5.0 update they all show english option it .

[@InsideChinaAuto]

@aalmuhairi Not in the one I had and Li said it doesn't come with English. It can actually understand it when you speak it in that it shows it in the word bar, but it can't interpret what it means.

[@aalmuhairi]

@InsideChinaAuto I mean the hall system and menu . It have English option as language?

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Didn't in my car and I don't believe it does, but it will soon.@@aalmuhairi

[@lancpudn]

What a fabulous car this Li is & the tech is incredible too. 😎 Nice review.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Thanks. It's a stunning car on its own, and this just made it better (provided you can speak half decent Chinese for now).

[@beta__6109]

What an amazing update! Li Auto is easily my favourite car out right now! So far ahead of anything out there right now except maybe the Huawei cars.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Incredible for brand that didn't even make cars until about 4 or 5 years ago.

[@beta__6109]

@@InsideChinaAutoJust absolutely insane! It's amazing how far ahead Chinese EV brands are now!

[@David-Zita]

I was hoping they added English language in the new OTA update, i am dissapointed. i want this car so badly.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Same, but they are working on it I understand.

[@joshofbass]

I have English on the mega. It's just the system though, the voice assistant stays in Chinese at the moment

[@NiejakiDD]

Fantastic system.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

It's really impressive.

[@beehappy7797]

@@InsideChinaAuto It is not. Worse than Tesla 5 years ago.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

@@beehappy7797 But can Tesla do that in China? Nope

[@stevenbarrett7648]

Incredible stuff although I would prefer if I could shout at the AI thingy really loud in English !!!!!!

[@InsideChinaAuto]

You and me both. One day.

[@JianYZhong]

Thanks for the demonstration. Is this full automation free to use or does Li Auto charge a subscription fee (like Tesla’s FSD)? Curious to understand the commercial model for this technology.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

You get access to the autonomous tech depending on which variant you buy at the start but they don't charge you a monthly fee and have stated they never will.

[@JianYZhong]

@@InsideChinaAuto Thanks. For me, it's OK to pay a separate charge for autonomous driving if it means being able to buy the vehicle at a lower price. I prefer this as a consumer as I only need autonomous driving capability occasionally. On the other hand, I can also see that an ongoing charge will discourage customers from using autonomous driving regularly, and the technology may improve more quickly the more people use autonomous driving. So maybe Li Auto's approach is better in the long-run. Do you intend to review Tesla's latest FSD when it becomes available in China?

[@oliveryb]

Wonderful episode, what , only 2K review after >1 month release, youtube is playing something definitely

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Didn't catch the attention as much this one. Will do a full urban test drive with the fully activated system in a large city at some point as this was only the lighter system for small cities.

[@Michael4Reall00]

It would be awesome if you reviewed the leapmotor c11

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Sure. Hoping to get contact with Leapmotor but it's not easy.

[@ratbert1]

@InsideChinaAuto What happens in 'X' years when the car is still perfectly ok but the technology in it is not able to support the latest updates? Does the latest 'self driving' update render the car obsolete, unable to partake in autonomous driving or maybe we get a multi tier environment depending on the cpu the car has? Or will the infotainment system be unable to run the latest maps, Apple Music version etc? When my iPad or iPhone becomes obsolete I replace it, I am not sure many will want to do that with their EV's? I appreciate many are leased and so this may not be an issue that directly affects those people, however it will create a lot of 'obsolete tech' secondhand EV's that will retain reduced value and thereby will directly affect the price of new lease contracts. I am all for EV's but the tech laden models we are seeing seem susceptible to obsolescence, some of the EV models being announced in Europe use iPads or similar as 'updatable' screens look more practicable in the longer term from a cost and maintenance perspective.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

It's an interesting question. I mean the reality is, if cars with today's tech can drive fully autonomously, do they even need upgrading? I'm wondering what comes next in this space, because it seems to be the main hurdle to full self-driving is humans getting in the way and unclear road markings. No amount of tech can make up for councils not maintaining all their roads, and well, humans are humans I guess. How fast can a screen in a car really be? What more does it need to process? Movies in 4k? 8k? Feels we're at a bit of a pinch point. Either that or I simply don't have enough imagination. The only way cars beat traffic is by flying over them and that's new tech altogether.

[@sandufane8546]

Incredible !! Do you think it's better than the Avatar 11 in termes of self-driving ?

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Definitely not. Stay tuned for an update video on the Huawei system coming soon.

[@sandufane8546]

[@Canasian23]

They have new upgrade I think was just updated last week. When turning left and right, you can see a right/left mirror video on the driver's panel screen.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Yeah, it's nice having that in the HUD. Quite impressive.

[@yaseentv1078]

I wonder what European rivals strategy to keep with level 3/4+ is?. For instance Volvo has adopted the LIDAR route but it so far it seems challenging given that their EX90 debut has been put back by 20 months now.Although Volvo has a much better access to the Chinese technology inventory been part of Giley than their German rivals for example.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

I don't think the lidar is the issue, it's the software in general. They obviously want it to be up to speed with the new things coming from Chinese brands and they need to get it right. Lidar is for safety first and foremost, seeing objects in the road from as far away as possible, so it makes sense Volvo would use it.

[@deltajohnny]

Awesome... 😮😮😮👏👏👏 When do you think that we will be able to enjoy such technology in Europe? At the end of 2024 it seems that European authorities will allow more self driving features, finally!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Should be, theoretically, a bit easier in Europe too because the rules are followed by most road users more frequently. Let's see. I'd guess more people don't really want it though too.

​@@InsideChinaAuto Thank you very much for the response, and I hope to see it in my life time (I'm 55 😉) My car is level 2 autonomy and I love it, so I would REALLY love a car like that 👏👏 Taxi drivers in my country, Spain, would not...

Whats going on with KZbin? 1080p looks like a 480p video with a lot of artefacts 😑 (No fun at all)

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Doesn't sound good. It was all recorded in 4k but maybe the zoom has taken some of the quality out for the screen pop-out. Will be sure to use double cameras next time to avoid that.

[@binbinzhang1463]

LI just 2 line in self-driving in chinese

[@InsideChinaAuto]

They have plenty to improve

[@sergeyzelvenskiy5126]

Ok, so basically the amazing self driving is driving straight on empty highways. The driver has to take over for exits and turns. Way behind Tesla.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Somebody didn't listen, did they? The city where I was driving isn't big enough for the full autonomous option, but the larger cities in China are, and there it will do all the corners, etc.

[@joshofbass]

He was using the lower level version. In Beijing my mega can fully self drive with very few corrections needed.

[@sergeyzelvenskiy5126]

@@joshofbass so it's like Tesla, but works only in the HD mapped areas and rely on complex equipment that can break.

@@sergeyzelvenskiy5126 I've just got mine. I know some un mapped roads in Beijing. I'll test it and get back to you. I think it's possibly a legal thing.

[@joshofbass]

The 6.1 update came out last week and now I can use auto pilot on all roads that navigation can be used on. I park inside a park that doesn't have official roads but they still show up on navigation apps. The car is able to self navigate along a route even though the shape of the road is slightly different than what it's expecting from the low res map data.

[@michaelmomanyi6861]

One thing this company forgets is that it has global customers and they keep focusing on chinese language only very many people are losing interest because of this English should be in all their systems

[@InsideChinaAuto]

But they're not officially a global company, they only have official sales channels in China, so have no responsibility for anyone importing to another market that they don't support.
