Chinese electric car maker Xpeng plans to begin testing robotaxis on the streets and mass-produce humanoid robots in the second half of 2026, the company’s founder He Xiaopeng said at an event in Guangzhou.
The company is focusing on integrating its domestic artificial intelligence technologies, including the Turing chip, into cars and robotics to strengthen its position in China’s highly competitive auto market.
During the event, Xpeng also unveiled four new car models equipped with updated software. Among the innovations are 3D navigation, as well as improved hazard warning systems.
It should be noted that a number of Chinese automakers, including Li Auto, have increased their investment in artificial intelligence. The intensification of competition and the ongoing price war are seriously affecting the country’s auto sector.
Xpeng reported a net loss of 380 million yuan (about 54.42 million US dollars) in the third quarter of 2025. The company's CEO said they aim to break even for Xpeng by the end of the year.
