Xpeng unveils predictive autonomous driving AI framework X-Mind

Xpeng unveiled X-Mind, a vehicle AI framework designed to predict and reason about future traffic conditions before an autonomous vehicle acts. Presented at a CVPR 2026 workshop in Denver, the system shifts autonomous driving from a perception-action model to a prediction-and-reasoning structure. It uses a “Thought Sketch” of key driving elements rather than generating full future video, aiming to cut computation, improve real-time performance and make decision processes visual and easier to verify.

iPhone 18 Pro likely in 3 colors, with black dropped and \'dark cherry\' as lead option

The iPhone 18 Pro may be released in three colors: dark cherry, light blue and silver-gray, a report said. The key point in the leak is the possible absence of a black or dark gray option, which would keep a three-color lineup similar to last year’s strategy. The report said the details are not final with about two months to launch, but expectations are converging on which colors may be included.
