Xpeng, a leading electric vehicle manufacturer, has expanded its self-driving system to all cities across mainland China, aiming to attract more local users before Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software launches in China. This move positions Xpeng as the first mainland carmaker to deploy its semi-autonomous driving system nationwide. The new version of Xpeng's Navigation Guided Pilot (X NGP) represents a significant advancement in autonomous driving technology in the world’s largest EV market, according to CEO He Xiaopeng.

Japanese automakers Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi have united to tackle the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (#EV) market, aiming to compete with industry leaders like Tesla and BYD. The collaboration will focus on sharing EV components, such as batteries, and jointly developing autonomous driving software. This strategic alliance is a response to the growing dominance of new players in green car technology and the declining sales of traditional vehicles in key markets like China.

China has indeed made remarkable progress in various fields, including technology and innovation, helping it secure its position as the world's third-largest economy. One notable example of this innovation is Xpeng Motors, a prominent Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer that has ventured into the development of flying cars. Xpeng's flying car project is part of their broader effort to lead in the next generation of transportation. The company has been working on a flying vehicle under its subsidiary, HT Aero. Xpeng's flying car is designed to function both on the road and in the air, representing a significant leap in personal transportation technology. In 2021, Xpeng unveiled its concept for a flying car that is expected to be ready for mass production by 2024. This vehicle will have the ability to drive on regular roads, just like a conventional car, and take off vertically to fly short distances when needed. The development of such flying cars aligns with China's broader goals of advancing its technological capabilities and maintaining its growth trajectory as one of the world's largest economies. Xpeng's work on flying cars reflects the broader trend in China of investing in high-tech industries, from AI to autonomous driving, which is critical for sustaining its economic growth and global competitiveness.

China’s 2024 ADAS Market Shifting Gears to Level 3 Level 3 passenger vehicles are likely to arrive in meaningful global numbers this year. China will be the main driver with its Level 3 passenger vehicle installed base exceeding 1 million by 2026 and shipments reaching 10% share by 2028. Mercedes is the first mover globally, but Chinese OEMs are approaching fast. Government support, issuance of multiple Level 3 testing licenses and advances in Level 2 across several vendors highlight rapid progress being made in China. Friendly domestic environment will facilitate Level 3 autonomous driving offerings from large and small brands alike.

SELF DRIVE CAR....CHINA. AHEAD OF THE WEST... MAYBE... Absolutely, Africa is far behind, we are coming. China is rapidly emerging as a leader in the self-driving car industry. With significant investments from tech giants and automotive companies, the nation is pushing the boundaries of autonomous vehicle technology. Innovative companies like Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent are at the forefront, developing cutting-edge AI and sensor technology to make self-driving cars a reality. As the government supports these advancements with favorable policies and infrastructure development, China is poised to redefine the future of transportation.

My latest column article on HK’s Ta Kung Pao, arguing Tesla’s Full Self Driving, expected to be launched in China soon, will propel tech advancement Chinese OEMs and tech companies in autonomous driving. Tesla’s rivals in China, like XPENG, NIO, and LI Auto, have recently announced plans to launch (HD) map-free, End-2-End (E2E) autonomous driving in the coming months. Tesla’ FSD, which is now V12, is the pioneer in E2E, which is a big step forward from the current model of a combination of Perception, Prediction, PnC. https://lnkd.in/gzk_RePM

“The so-called China Electrical Architecture — developed with VW’s Chinese partner Xpeng Inc. — will allow advanced features such as autonomous driving to be continuously upgraded over-the-air, the German automaker said Wednesday. However, the first cars to use the new platform won’t hit the market until 2026, while such features and connectivity are already common place in many Chinese EVs.” Everyone who lived in China around the Beijing Summer Olympics will remember the VW Santanas all over Chinese roads. They were based on an older VW platform that was exported to China for fear that if they’d export their newer platforms, their technology would be stolen. Fast forward to now and VW is now partnering with a Chinese auto manufacturer, XPeng, hoping to acquire and benefit from their technology, even though they’ll be years behind what is currently available in China. To assume that China is just exporting cheap products is missing the picture. They’re out-innovating the Western world.

Autonomous is here, it's just not evenly distributed! (With a nod to William Gibson.) BMW & Germany are leading the way with fully autonomous driving (sub-60kmh) now legal. Alongside Germany, Korea, Netherlands, China, the US (select states) and many other countries are starting to green-light self-driving cars.

Hold onto your steering wheels, China! According to sources, Tesla is planning a significant rollout of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology in the world's most populous country. By the end of 2024, Tesla aims to offer FSD as an upgrade to its existing Autopilot driver-assistance systems currently available in China. This would be a game-changer, not just for Tesla, but for the future of transportation in China. Of course, there are still questions to be answered. Regulations surrounding autonomous vehicles in China are still evolving, and Tesla will need to ensure its technology meets all safety and security standards. But this planned FSD rollout shows Tesla's commitment to the Chinese market and its confidence in the potential of self-driving technology. So, get ready for a future with more automation on China's roads! Tesla's FSD launch could pave the way for a smoother, safer, and more convenient driving experience for millions. Buckle up, China – the future of transportation is arriving ahead of schedule! #inwider #dubai #Tesla #FSD #China #selfdrivingcars #autonomousvehicles
