Xpeng begins recruiting global beta testers for latest AI -powered software

Xpeng has begun recruiting beta testers for its latest AI-powered Tianji XOS 5.2 for car owners worldwide, expanding its software testing program beyond China for the first time.

In terms of smart driving capabilities, the system's AI driver is able to provide an intelligent driving experience in scenarios including driving and parking, according to the company.

Xpeng launched an AI chauffeur function at the event, allowing users to store up to 10 memorized routes, each up to 100 km long.

In the cockpit, the Tianji system gives virtual voice assistant Xiao P greater comprehension and demand reasoning based on AI large language models to provide a better experience, Xpeng said on May 20.

The system also makes the centre screen's touch responsiveness more than 30% faster and apps launch 50% faster, according to Xpeng.

The latest beta test applies to the Xpeng G9, P7i, G6, and X9, and those interested can sign up between Jul 22-23, with 1,000 available spots for each model.

Xpeng is also bringing unlimited XNGP (Xpeng navigation guided pilot) functionality available on all roads in its latest software, but only for the Max version cars in the Chinese mainland.

The company will host a technology event "belonging to explorers" on Jul 30, Xpeng said.
