Overview
- XPeng outlined a vision-only Level 4 architecture powered by four in-house Turing chips providing up to 3,000 TOPS of vehicle compute.
- Trial operations will begin in China, with vehicles described as designed for driverless use and supported by XPeng’s second‑generation VLA+VLM for low‑latency local interaction.
- A new consumer-facing “Robo” intelligent-driving version arrives next year sharing robotaxi hardware, safety redundancy and capabilities, with two driving modes.
- XPeng will open its Robotaxi platform to partners and named Amap as the first ecosystem partner, while a “Robotaxi Worldwide” teaser suggested international ambitions.
- Chinese media reported internal staff transfers, the recruitment of a senior L4 leader and a shift to using existing in‑development models rather than a dedicated robotaxi, which XPeng has not formally detailed.
