"In March last year, a fleet of Xpeng's P7 mid-sized cars completed a weeklong 3,675-kilometre autonomous driving test from Guangzhou to Beijing. The frequency of human intervention was just 0.7 times per 100km.

"Some of Xpeng's P5 sedans that are fitted with lidar sensors can now access city navigation guided pilot (NGP) software through over-the-air updates and drive without human intervention in urban areas."
