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.
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.
