On August 14, He Xiaopeng, Chairman of XPENG Group, revealed in an interview that XPENG is actively involved in shaping the new national standards for power batteries, as well as the mandatory national standards for L3 and L4 high-level autonomous driving. Back in around 2020, emerging automotive players like XPENG had already pioneered the introduction of highway-assisted driving technology in China, subsequently expanding its reach to the global market. He Xiaopeng highlighted that as assisted driving steadily becomes a staple feature in vehicles, there's a burgeoning demand for intelligent driving solutions among both Chinese and international consumers. Yet, a significant challenge persists: many car owners struggle to differentiate between autonomous and assisted driving, not to mention the varying capabilities of intelligent driving functions. Hence, the establishment of a thorough and methodical set of mandatory standards becomes paramount. He underscored that these standards are designed not only to foster the growth of automakers' strengths in the autonomous driving arena but also to pinpoint and rectify weaknesses, ensuring a holistic and robust system planning.
