Xpeng chairman sees Hong Kong as launch pad for self-driving EVs

Xpeng Motors aims to launch its autonomous driving technology in Hong Kong, potentially making it the first market outside mainland China to experience Xpeng's self-driving capabilities. This ambition hinges on Hong Kong's willingness to adopt a more progressive regulatory stance towards emerging technologies like autonomous driving and low-altitude aviation.

He Xiaopeng, Xpeng's chairman and CEO, expressed his hope that Hong Kong would either match or surpass mainland China in creating a supportive regulatory environment for innovative technologies. The company views Hong Kong as a crucial testing ground for its Xpeng Navigation Guided Pilot (X NGP) system, with plans to promote the technology globally by 2026, using Hong Kong as a springboard to enter the international EV market.
