Xpeng Motors aims to achieve fully autonomous driving within the next one to three years, integrating this advanced technology into everyday travel routines. This ambitious goal is driven by the company’s new second-generation vision-language-action (VLA) model, which is set to undergo rapid and frequent updates in the near future, according to the company’s founder and CEO.
The second-gen VLA serves as the core of Xpeng’s autonomous and intelligent driving systems, optimized specifically for Level-4 self-driving capabilities. By bypassing the traditional language interpretation phase and enabling direct vision-to-action processing, this system can operate at twelve times the current speed and responds eighty percent faster, benefiting from continuous enhancements in chip processing power.
The company plans to officially introduce the second-gen VLA later this month, equipping all Xpeng Ultra and Ultra SE models with the technology. Upcoming models intended for the global market will be offered in both standard and advanced intelligent assisted driving variants.
Alongside this, Xpeng’s robotaxi services utilizing the second-gen VLA are already undergoing public road testing in China, with plans to initiate trial operations before year’s end. The system is also preparing for global road testing soon, with commercial deliveries expected to begin next year. Volkswagen Group from Germany is expected to be the first international customer to adopt this technology.
