Xiaopeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng recently published a compelling article on his circle of friends, warmly welcomed the gradual promotion of Tesla's FSD (fully autonomous driving) technology in the Chinese market. He believes that this move will bring more communication and cooperation opportunities to the entire intelligent driving industry and promote the further development of industry technology.
He Xiaopeng revealed in the article that Xiaopeng Motors plans to conduct a comprehensive comparison with the world's leading advanced intelligent driving technology in the first half of this year. This comparison will cover many aspects such as functionality, performance, safety and coverage. Xiaopeng Motors’ goal is to achieve a leading position in China and even the world in these fields. He emphasized that Xiaopeng Motors and Tesla are the first two AI technology companies in the world to apply end-to-end technology to intelligent driving and achieve mass production. These two companies are also the only explorers who can achieve "global universal" in intelligent driving through a set of software without relying on high-definition maps and lidar.
When talking about the global promotion of advanced intelligent driving technology, He Xiaopeng pointed out that the standard configuration of basic hardware, the free provision of software, and high-frequency OTA (air upgrade) are the keys to achieving this goal. Xiaopeng Motors has realized this concept for the first time in the world on Xiaopeng P7+, which was launched in November 2024. He believes that with the popularity of technology, more and more users will begin to like and rely on intelligent driving technology.
In addition, He Xiaopeng also revealed his future development plan. He said that Xiaopeng Motors will launch global R&D and testing of Xiaopeng Turing AI Intelligent Driving in 2025. With the gradual relaxation of overseas policies, Xiaopeng Motors hopes to bring Xiaopeng Turing AI intelligent driving technology to global users from 2026 to 2027, and further promote the global development of intelligent driving technology.
