XPeng Robotaxi Testing and Commercial Trial Timeline

In May, XPeng's mass-produced Robotaxi vehicle rolled off the line. In July, the full chain from online ordering and automatic pickup to drop-off was connected, and employee internal testing began. In August, XPeng obtained remote testing qualifications for intelligent connected vehicles in Guangzhou, allowing driverless road tests without a safety driver in the main driver's seat on relevant Level 1, 2, and 3 test roads in Guangzhou.

XPeng Robotaxi has also started paid internal testing, with each internal test order costing only 1 yuan.
