4 Things We Learnt At XPENG AI Day

XPENG Motors recently held its XPENG AI Day event, streamed worldwide from South China University of Technology in Guangzhou. Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng showcased the company’s latest advancements in smart EV technology, highlighting innovations in AI-driven vehicles, robotics and flying cars. Key announcements included the XPENG Kunpeng Super Electric System and the Turing AI Intelligent Driving System, both designed to enhance XPENG’s leadership in intelligent mobility.

You might soon be able to juice up at 1km-range-per-second!

XPENG’s Kunpeng Super Electric System addresses global charging infrastructure gaps with an innovative 800V high-voltage silicon carbide platform. The system integrates a 5C ultra-charging AI battery and a hybrid silicon carbide drive, achieving rapid charging speeds of 1km of range per second, with 80% capacity reached in 12 minutes.

Features include an ultra-quiet range extender and an AI Battery Doctor, which monitors battery health to extend its lifespan by up to 30%. Offering a pure electric range of 430km and a total range exceeding 1,400km, the Kunpeng system sets new standards in convenience and performance for EV users globally.

Its autonomous driving is developed in-house

XPENG's Turing AI Intelligent Driving System (NGP) merges AI models with cloud and in-vehicle technology. Central to this system is XPENG’s proprietary Turing AI Chip, a processor designed for AI-powered vehicles, robots and even flying cars. This 40-core chip manages up to 30 billion parameters, delivering the power of three typical high-performance chips in one.

Supporting this is the Canghai Platform, XPENG’s neural network for autonomous vehicles, which supports Level 4 autonomy with industry-leading safety features, 33 times greater bandwidth and 12 times faster camera processing.

Its AI car interactions are getting smarter, by the second

XPENG's AIOS transforms the smart cockpit experience by integrating GPT-4-based large models directly into vehicles. Powered by dual Turing AI chips, the system learns user habits and preferences. It’s designed with global compatibility in mind. It’s also introducing a chip upgrade program for current users. Brilliant, or intimidating? You be the judge!

You can soon pre-order a flying car

XPENG envisions a future where AI revolutionises mobility, showcasing several innovations at AI Technology Day. The Robotaxi Ultra model, fully autonomous and powered by Turing chips and the Canghai Platform, delivers L4-level safety with 3,000T of processing power.

XPENG also unveiled the AEROHT flying car, a modular design with intuitive controls that enables users to master flying in minutes, with the first public flight scheduled for November and pre-orders opening in December. Additionally, XPENG introduced the AI Robot Iron, a humanoid robot developed over five years, designed for internal use in factories and stores, with over 60 joints and 200 degrees of freedom.

AI-defined vehicle, unboxed

While it’ll take some time before AI-defined cars land on local shores, we can certainly see where this is heading towards - starting in China where XPENG has already dished out test drives locally for the fastback-styled, AI-defined XPENG P7+.
