On the evening of June 11, XPeng Motor officially released its latest model - XPeng G7. This car is known as the world's first AI car with L3-level computing power. Its biggest highlight lies in the installation of XPeng’s self-developed Turing AI chip, which has a computational capability equivalent to three Orin-X chips, showcasing XPeng's technical advantages in the intelligent vehicle field. The XPeng G7 is equipped with a powerful 40-core processor that can run up to 30B simulation parameters and features two self-developed neural network processors.

XPeng Motors announced that its self-developed Turing AI chip, designed to support Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities, is slated for mass production in 2025.

Recent reports suggest XPeng is internally developing a new technology called "Crowdsourced Mapping," aiming to enhance the accuracy of its autonomous driving system's navigation. This technology, in its preliminary research phase after several months of development, could potentially supplement XPeng's Level 3 autonomous driving solution. The core of crowdsourced mapping lies in the collaborative effort of multiple vehicles to collect road data in real-time, dynamically generating and updating maps. This approach offers the advantage of covering areas inaccessible to sensors, providing the intelligent driving system with more comprehensive data.

XPeng Motors held an AI technology sharing session in Hong Kong yesterday, unveiling its newly developed 720-billion-parameter large-scale autonomous driving model – the "XPeng World" base model. This model features a multi-modal architecture, integrating visual understanding, chain reasoning, and action generation capabilities. It aims to be deployed to vehicle-end devices via cloud distillation technology and simultaneously empower ecological products such as AI robots and flying cars.

Yesterday, XPeng Motors held a technical sharing session on AI large language models. Li Liyun, head of autonomous driving, stated that breakthroughs in AI large language model technology are pushing autonomous driving towards practical implementation.

He Xiaopeng revealed that in the first half of this year, XPeng Motors aims to conduct a comprehensive comparison with the world's best high-level intelligent driving capabilities, including functionality, performance, safety, and coverage, striving to achieve leading positions in both China and globally. He emphasized that XPeng and Tesla are the world's first AI technology companies to apply large-model end-to-end technology to intelligent driving and achieve mass production, and are also the only two companies capable of striving to achieve intelligent driving that "works well globally" with a single software solution, without relying on high-definition maps and lidar.

At CES 2025, Chinese electric vehicle startup Xpeng's aerospace company, Xpeng Aero HT, unveiled its revolutionary new product — the 'Land Aircraft Carrier,' a modular flying car. This vehicle combines the functions of an electric van and a foldable electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), with the ability to unfold and take off from the rear, enabling seamless transitions between air and ground. The flying car has already attracted 3,000 pre-orders and is set to begin deliveries in 2026. Aero HT stated that it plans to...

Li Liyun, head of intelligent driving at Xpeng Motors, recently disclosed the company's autonomous driving development timeline for the first time, announcing plans to offer pseudo-autonomous driving capabilities on the Max series models by 2025, making Xpeng the first domestic car manufacturer to set a clear timeline for the rollout of autonomous driving. Li stated that Xpeng is currently on the 'eve of unmanned driving'. Based on a firm belief in the Scaling Law of autonomous driving, Xpeng has chosen a pure vision technology route for intelligent driving. He believes that with the accumulation of massive amounts of data and continuous improvement in cloud and vehicle computing power, the transition will be feasible.

Recently, Cerence Inc. established a new partnership with Kawasaki Motors to transform the user experience of its two-wheeled vehicle lineup. By integrating the company’s Cerence Ride platform designed for two-wheelers, Kawasaki will provide riders with the information they need through an intuitive voice AI assistant that accesses navigation, vehicle controls, and cloud applications. As fuel prices rise and urban traffic congestion increases, two-wheelers are becoming more popular, highlighting the growing demand for riders to access information on the go.

At the 2024 XPENG AI Tech Day event, XPENG Motors launched its latest AI robot — Iron. This robot has attracted wide attention due to its advanced technology and humanoid structural design.
