Geely will equip all its models with autopilot, following BYD and Chery
Geely has unveiled its own autonomous driving system, G-Pilot, which will be available in all models across its brands including Galaxy, Zeekr and LynkCo. Geely has become the third manufacturer in China, after BYD and Chery, to announce the introduction of an automated driving system across its entire model range.
Here's What We Know
The G-Pilot system is available in five levels of sophistication offering automatic parking, driving assistance on motorways and city streets, and NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) door-to-door:
- G-Pilot H1
- G-Pilot H3
- G-Pilot H5
- G-Pilot H7
- G-Pilot H9
The basic version provides motorway and parking assistance, 10 cameras and 5 millimetre radars. The H5 version has already 11 cameras, 3 radars and a lidar that allows you to drive in the city without HD maps. The H9 version received several lidars and the possibility of upgrading to a full-fledged "autopilot", which can self-drive the car in various conditions.
