He Xiaopeng, who serves as both the Chairman and CEO of XPENG Motors, recently disclosed that he had extended an invitation to Luo Yonghao to take on the leadership role for the flying car project. Luo Yonghao found the project to be incredibly challenging and exhilarating—qualities that he greatly appreciated. He was curious about the rationale behind selecting him. He Xiaopeng explained that the flying car sector is a completely uncharted territory, demanding a blend of hardware expertise, policy awareness, market insight, and corporate management skills. Such a multifaceted talent pool is scarce within the domestic market. Given that Luo Yonghao possessed proficiency in both software and hardware, along with a solid understanding of corporate operations and policy matters, he stood out as an exceptional candidate. In an August podcast episode this year, Luo Yonghao remarked that had he not been burdened with debt issues at that time, he would have accepted the offer with a 99% certainty.
