Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng is expanding its focus beyond cars to incorporate "Physical AI," which combines AI-powered chips and large language models with physical applications. At a recent event in Munich, the company unveiled its new L03 electric SUV, which is priced competitively against Tesla and Hyundai. XPeng also announced significant progress toward mass production for its humanoid robot, named LUMCi015-A, and its modular flying car, Aridge, both of which are slated for future European release. The company's self-developed Turing chips will power these diverse product lines. AI
