On August 24, He Xiaopeng announced that the front-mounted, mass-produced Robotaxi, outfitted with the second-generation VLA (Vision-Language-Action) technology, has successfully undergone over 2,000 internal trials in Guangzhou. These tests have validated the full spectrum of manned demonstration operations. Leveraging this progress, the company has developed a sophisticated cloud-based monitoring platform and is now poised to transition to unmanned passenger services next year. To further fuel the commercialization of physical AI technology, XPENG has recently formed a group-level BD (Business Development) team. This team is actively engaging in discussions with both domestic and international partners, aiming to expedite the global rollout of Turing AI chips, the second-generation VLA model, Robotaxi, and humanoid robot technologies.
