XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng on the Shift to Robotics and Low-Altitude Flight

As China’s electric vehicle market enters a brutal consolidation phase, XPeng Chairman He Xiaopeng is pivoting his vision toward a future defined by autonomous robotics and low-altitude aviation. The industry veteran argues that the next leap in mobility will transcend ground-based transport, fundamentally altering how the Greater Bay Area functions.

He shared these perspectives during the third episode of the "Beacon Over Lingnan" video series, a project highlighting influential voices across Guangdong. While the current domestic automotive landscape is marked by intense competition and a narrowing field of manufacturers, XPeng is positioning itself beyond traditional car production. The company is actively integrating artificial intelligence to transform vehicles into interactive, robotic platforms.

Beyond the chassis, He emphasized the potential of low-altitude flight as a disruptive force in regional logistics and personal transport. This shift represents a broader goal for Guangdong’s tech sector: moving from mere manufacturing scale to high-tech, integrated transport systems. The interview serves as a diagnostic of the current market shakeout, where only firms capable of radical technological diversification are expected to survive the transition.
