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.

Xpeng unveils VLA 2.0, bets on human-like driving feel
Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng introduced its VLA 2.0 autonomous driving system, highlighting human-like driving judgments and rapid localisation. It said its in-house Turing AI chip and simulation-based training enable more natural driving than rule-based approaches. Xpeng said the system anticipates road situations and makes context-aware decisions. It also said the new GX offers up to 3,000 TOPS and processes more data inside the vehicle. The company said it can adapt abroad without HD maps or rewriting rules.

Xpeng in talks to acquire Volkswagen Europe plant as exports jump 62 percent
Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng is discussing a plant acquisition with Volkswagen to secure a production base in Europe, as capacity at its contract manufacturing line in Austria tightens. Xpeng produced G6 and G9 models for Europe at Magna Steyr in Austria and completed trial production of the 2026 P7+ sedan in January. Xpeng\'s April overseas exports rose 62 percent from a year earlier. Volkswagen is pursuing cuts to excess capacity in Europe and is considering transferring some capacity to Chinese partners.
