At the IAA Mobility 2025 show in Munich, Candice Yuan, senior director and head of product at Xpeng's Autonomous Driving Center, told CarNewsChina that the company has grown increasingly confident in its vision-based approach since pulling lidar from its vehicles. "The lidar data can't contribute to the AI system," Yuan told the outlet, adding that the company's large language model is fed mainly 10 to 30-second short videos, taken from its customer vehicles, and then used to train the AI system.
