XPeng Robotaxi Fleet Begins Road Testing in Guangzhou with World’s Most Powerful 3000-TOPS Onboard AI System

On May 19, a fleet of XPeng Robotaxis appeared on the streets of Guangzhou for public road testing. The vehicles, finished in silver, performed maneuvers such as stopping at red lights and lane changes to navigate around obstacles within normal traffic conditions. Built on the XPeng GX platform, this fleet represents the world’s first fully in-house developed, front-loaded mass-produced Robotaxi. Each vehicle is equipped with four self-developed Turing AI chips, delivering an onboard effective computing power of 3,000 TOPS—the highest globally for vehicle-based systems today. Additionally, the fleet features XPeng’s second-generation VLA large model, which enables direct action output from visual input with a response latency under 80 milliseconds and inference efficiency 12 times higher than the previous generation. XPeng stated that the GX possesses Level 4 software capabilities, making it suitable for limited-scale testing, and that related road tests have been ongoing for some time. The company plans to unveil new developments in its Robotaxi business in the second half of the year.
