China News Service, Guangzhou, November 6 (Reporter Cai Minjie) "The AI era has just begun. Don't believe that AI can subvert life all at once. It must be gradual and progressive." He Xiaopeng, chairman and CEO of Xiaopeng, said in Guangzhou on the 6th He said that AI robots will be the first means of transportation with autonomous capabilities and will be an important part of future travel exploration. "Making an AI robot is more difficult than an AI car. It requires AI capabilities, chip research and development, and hardware development capabilities." The "Xpeng AI Technology Day" with the theme of "Technology Changes the World" was held in Guangzhou that day. He Xiaopeng returned to his alma mater, South China University of Technology, and said that it was while studying computer science at South China University of Technology that he witnessed China's Internet industry grow from scratch, and for the first time he experienced the power of "technology changing the world." With the same original intention and dream, in the past ten years, Xpeng Motors has explored "no man's land" in multiple technologies such as smart cars, flying cars, and robots. At the press conference, He Xiaopeng announced: "Xpeng Motors will start in Europe, be technology-oriented, and bring China's intelligence to the world." At the same time, in 2025, Xpeng Motors will continue to expand overseas markets and expand its scope. to 60 countries and regions. Electrification is a booster for the rise of new energy vehicles in China and a prerequisite for AI vehicles to take advantage of their intelligence. Compared with China, the energy replenishment system in overseas markets is not yet mature. In order to alleviate the energy replenishment anxiety of global users, Xpeng Motors launched a "super electric system". The 5C super-charging AI battery equipped with this system can achieve "charging 1 km in 1 second" and can be fully charged to 80% in just 12 minutes. Looking forward to the next 10 years, AI technology is sweeping the world and profoundly changing the future of travel. Among them, cutting-edge AI applications represented by Robotaxi, flying cars, and AI robots have entered a critical period from the prototype stage to mass production and application implementation. Since 2024, the low-altitude economy has continued to be hot. He Xiaopeng said that the world's first mass-produced split flying car developed by Xiaopeng Huitian will make its first public flight at the China Air Show in November 2024. Many of the technologies used by Xpeng AI robots are of the same origin as AI cars. The Turing AI chip provides it with a "smart" brain. The end-to-end large model gives it the ability to walk, and its fingers can grasp, pick up, and put down. and other delicate tasks, and have the ability to have smoother conversations. Currently, Xpeng AI robots have entered the factory to work. In the future, this AI robot will also enter sales stores, offices, homes and other scenarios.
