XPeng has already established a full-stack, self-developed physical AI technology system encompassing chips, foundational models, and AI infrastructure. He stated that 2026 will mark the "inaugural year" for AI entering the physical world, when physical AI agents will enter mass production, autonomous driving is expected to advance from Level 2 to Level 4, and humanoid robots will accelerate their integration into everyday life. He emphasized that XPeng stands at a historic inflection point and must fully execute its "Physical AI + Globalization" strategy by 2026.
