"Autonomous driving is a platform capabilitythat will evolve toward embodied intelligencein the future," said Jin Yuzhi, CEO of Huawei's Intelligent Automotive Solution BU.He recently stated publicly that Huawei's autonomous driving technology will extend beyond passenger vehicles to scenarios such as logistics vehicles and Robotaxis, ultimately finding application in the robotics sector.

"Our goal is to achieve mass production of humanoid robots in the second half of 2026," said He Xiaopeng on August 26th, Chairman and CEO of XPENG. He disclosed that XPENG fully acquired a robotics business two years ago. It's reported that the company's humanoid robots, once mass-produced, are expected to reach Level 4 autonomy, with capabilities including language and gesture interaction, autonomous movement, and self-learning.
