He Xiaopeng, the Chairman of XPENG Motors, has remarked that this year stands as a pivotal watershed in the research and development of autonomous driving technologies. In February 2026, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe unveiled a draft of the Global Technical Regulation for Automated Driving Systems (ADS). Meanwhile, the United States eased the entry requirements for Level 4 autonomous driving, a move widely anticipated to propel autonomous driving into a global industry. On March 2, during his proposals for the 2026 Two Sessions, He Xiaopeng advocated for expediting the transition of autonomous driving technology from Level 2 to Level 4, alongside refining pertinent regulations and management policies. He views Level 3 as merely an interim stage. Furthermore, in February, He Xiaopeng shared on his platform that the automotive and AI sectors are embarking on an era of cross-industry integration. XPENG Motors is set to delve deeply into the realm of embodied AI, with the confidence to emerge as the first Chinese company to capitalize on the development prospects in autonomous driving.
