Nio (NYSE: NIO) The company states, NIO is increasing the coverage of its ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) on urban roads in China, doubling the kilometers covered last month.

Ren Shaoqing, vice president of intelligent driving research and development at Nio, revealed on February 1st that Nio’s NOP+ (Navigate on Pilot Plus) system currently covers 651,640 kilometers of urban roads; excluding the urban expressways.

This implies that NOP+ coverage of urban roads for the 6 months to the end of December increased 103.75% which translates to 331,819 kilometers combining with figure of 319,821 kilometers that were subject to NOP+ coverage.

By January, 606 cities had been included in NOP+, which was 398 more than the figure of 208 registered on December 31. As Ren said, up to now, NOP+ has started to act in all cities of China’s 34 first-tier administrative regions, except Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

The number of trips provided by highways or urban expressway increased NOP+ is already covering more than 1 million kilometers, as said by Ren. With statistics that Nio states its ADAS feature coverage when releasing official statement, the company actually employs an approach, which differs from that of other major peers of the company, who only announce the number of cities covered without mentioning specific mileage.

However, the current NOP+ covers of the cities where the Banyan system brings the vehicles in is at 99 percent; Ren revealed in a post shared with the Nio App. The system employed in Nio’s NT 2.0-based models is Banyan and the name for its NT 1.0-based models is Aspen. Areas in which Nio vehicles are widely used NOP+ almost provides complete coverage, Ren said. As Ren has reported, in the case of Shanghai, there is 98.2 percent and 93 percent coverage of the main roads and the entire roads by NOP+. This means that 98.2 percent and 93 percent of the main roads and the entire roads, respectively, are under this Nonstop PTC of Shanghai, NOP+ light PTC train In other cities that have high Nio vehicle ownership, including Beijing, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, and Suzhou, there is an observable trend of such ultra-high density coverage, he added. In the past 2 months, more than 600 innovative pre-users have made 8 iterations of NOP+ version with NIO which has made a step faster to the upgrading of product experience, said Ren.

As for Nio, it is implementing the kilometers covered by people last month of its ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) affected strongly by area usage, in China that is covering the urban roads by doubling. According to Ren Shao, Nio’s vice president of intelligent driving research and development, later on February 1, at the end of January, NOP+ covered 651,640 km of urban roads except for urban expressway. This implies that NOP+ urban roads coverage increased by 103.75 per cent, or 331,819 kilometers, from December end as the figure was 319,821 kilometers at the end of December.

By the end of January the number of NOP+ covered cities was 606, which is 398 up from 208 there were days left before the New Year. Up to date, NOP+ has started to include all cities in 34 first-tier administrative regions of China except Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Ren noted. Only highways and urban expressways are included, NOP+ has covered more than 1 million kilometers, Ren told the meeting. Relative to how its other major peers announce the ADAS coverage, Nio takes a different strategy with statistics, as most of its peers announce the number of cities covered without mentioning the actual mileage. NOP + at present is able of 99% of the cities where the automobiles using the Banyan system are situated, Ren stated in a post posted on the Nio App. Being the system used in Nio’s NT 2.0-based models, Banyan is used by its older NT 1.0-based models’ system called Aspen. In areas where Nio vehicles are numerous, NOP+ is nearly complete coverage, Ren said. For instance, according to Ren, the NOP+ coverage is 99.2 of main road in Shanghai and up to 93 percent of total roads. Such ultra-high density coverage is also an observable trend in other cities with high Nio vehicle ownership, namely Beijing, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, and Suzhou, said the analyst. In the past two months, more than 600 pioneering users joined in 8 iterations of the NOP+ version with Nio, helping the speed up the product experience, said Ren.

Over the past two months, more than 600 intrepid users have leaped into the 8 NOP+ version iterations with NIO, speeding up the product experience evolution, argued Ren. Meaning Nio started user experience recruitment of the first batch of NOP+ on urban roads on February 1, and the second round is supposed to open for user experience in early March, Ren said.”We will aim to make NOP+ pilot assist in urban areas available to all Banyan intelligent system users in the second quarter of this year,” Ren said.
