Current technology

Xpeng has a driver assistance system called Xpilot, which allows its cars to perform certain functions semi-automatically. The CEO also said Xpeng plans to launch about 30 new or upgraded cars in the next three years. This year, the company will launch its first models priced above 300,000 yuan and 150,000 yuan.

“This year also marks the beginning of a fierce competition that could end in a ‘bloodwash’ (or, as I prefer to call it, a brutal ‘knockout race’) among Chinese automakers,” Xiaopeng wrote in a staff memo.
“Xpeng has been involved in this brutal competition since the beginning, so he has accumulated a lot of experience. I firmly believe that our courage, grit and perseverance will lead us to victory.”
