Our team was in Beijing for CICV last month where we presented on a GNSS-based localisation system for #ADAS and advanced driving applications in mass-market passenger vehicles. While there, we also met with our local partner Dayou as we continue the availability of TerraStar-X Enterprise in China.

☁️ XPeng's X2 Flying Car Takes Flight in Beijing On Sunday, XPENG AEROHT X2 flying car took its first flight in Beijing, marking a significant milestone for the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer. This event, held during the 2024 China Langfang International Economic and Trade Fair, showcased the X2's potential in the developing low-altitude economy. The two-seater vehicle, equipped with eight propellers and powered by batteries, offers both manual and autonomous modes, promising a safe and intelligent flying experience. With a maximum speed of 128 km/h and a flight duration of up to 35 minutes, the X2 is a step forward in urban green transportation. Notably, the X2 had previously made its global debut in Dubai in 2022, demonstrating its capabilities on the international stage. This flight in Beijing represents another major step for XPeng in the realm of flying cars. #xpeng #xpengx2 #flyingcar #flyingtaxi #china #beijing #cartech #technews

Remember driving on Mario Kart Rainbow Road in your childhood or in your teens? It's like driving on rails - safe, fun and easy. And that's what Xpeng Unlimited NGP is like. Unlimited NGP means that their cars can now travel on any road in China - without having them mapped in HD first. What does this mean? ⚡ The software can be instantly useable to anyone with an Xpeng car in China at this time - across the whole network of roads. ⚡ Theoretically it could be easily transferred to overseas Xpeng cars if they no longer need HD mapping. ⚡ Theoretically it could be licenced to other automakers to plug in an Xpeng unit to their car for self-driving in the future - or trucks/taxis etc. It has always been said that the first to master self-driving for the masses with the safest system (that includes radar *and* lidar) will be the first to make a huge impact globally. And I think Xpeng are one of the closest…check out my video below and see it in action! https://lnkd.in/gHu8PH7S

Forget Traffic Jams, Let's Talk Flying Cars! 🚀 The Xpeng AeroHT Voyager X2's successful test flight in China is turning sci-fi into reality. It's a fascinating step towards reimagining urban transportation, but what does this mean for our future commutes? Xpeng AeroHT Voyager X2: The Lowdown Sleek, carbon fiber design = eco-conscious Electric powered = lower emissions Autonomous flight capabilities = potential for ease of use Made for low-altitude, urban environments = tackling city congestion The Big Questions & Challenges Metro Feasibility: Can dense cities handle an influx of flying vehicles? Safety: How do we ensure secure airspaces, especially in crowded areas? Scalability: Can production and infrastructure scale to make this a widespread solution? Regulation: What legal frameworks are needed? Air Traffic Control: How do we manage hundreds (or thousands!) of flying vehicles? The Potential? Less gridlock, faster commutes, even improved emergency response times. But getting there will require innovative solutions! Curious to hear your thoughts! Is this the future of city transport, or is it just hype? 👇 #xpeng #aeroht #flyingcars #innovation #urbanmobility #futurecities #eVTOL #technews #sustainability

Envision taking off over your neighbor's residence via X3 Flying Car The XPENG X3 has been announced as the "world's first fully electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flying car" by the Chinese car company XPENG. Design: The XPENG X3 features a fold-away rotor assembly with eight propellers, each powered by its own electric motor. The design suggests that the car is a four-passenger vehicle, a significant advancement from other eVTOLs that currently feature one- or two-seat configurations. Functionality: The XPENG X3 is designed to fly over traffic congestion, obstacles, and rivers to meet short-distance mobility needs. It is equipped with both manual and automatic flight driving modes, allowing it to operate in the air and on roads. The car can achieve vertical take-off and landing for low-altitude manned flight. Regulatory Approval: XPENG's X2, a predecessor to the X3, has become the first manned eVTOL vehicle officially licensed to fly in China. This indicates that XPENG is making significant progress in the development and regulatory approval of its electric flying cars The XPENG X3 electric flying car is a promising development in the field of urban green transportation and represents a significant leap forward in the pursuit of innovative and sustainable mobility solutions.

Way back in 1940, none other than Henry Ford himself predicted, "Mark my words. A combination of airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile, but it will come." Almost 80 years later, we're still smiling. Despite decades of breathless "Your New Flying Car!" magazine covers and countless, baseless hype pieces on the evening news, no one has yet produced a fully functional, commercially available vehicle capable of taking to roadways and the air with equal ease. But maybe, just maybe—if you believe today's engineers and entrepreneurs—our Jetsons future of "Personal Air Vehicles" (PAVs) may actually now be just over the horizon. #innovation #transportation #future #flyingcars #future
