Xpeng aims to steal the march on Tesla’s FSD by updating its self-driving software earlier

Quick Summary:

The system, also dubbed the X NGP (Xpeng navigation guided pilot), is Xpeng’s answer to Tesla’s FSD software, which will not be tested in China until the end of 2024.

Project houses in Guangzhou, where Xpeng is headquartered, and Hefei, capital of east China’s Anhui province will be established to support development of electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture.

The signing of the agreement came after both parties agreed in April to co-develop two mid-sized electric cars bearing the VW badge to tap accelerated electrification on the mainland’s roads where 40 per cent of new cars are now powered by batteries.
