Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker NIO (NYSE: NIO) has unveiled NIO OS 2.7.0 at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, bringing new features such as the industry-leading Navigate on Pilot (NOP) navigational assistance.
The function enables automatic driving assistance by following a navigation route under a specified path, making NIO the first Chinese automaker to use high-precision maps in mass production.
