CHINA electric car (EV) maker xpeng has ramped up development of its own artificial intelligence (AI) chip to power semi-autonomous cars, reports Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
With a first mass production model to be fitted with the Turing chip soon, it is said to be more powerful than Nvidia's Drive Orin X used in earlier models.
Xpeng CEO He Xiaopeng said the chip could also power flying cars and robots being developed by its affiliated companies.
'Our chips will be seen in our cars all over the world in future,' he said. 'We hope traffic rules in Hong Kong and other overseas markets will allow our cars with autonomous driving systems to take to the streets sometime next year.'
He did not disclose which EV model would start using its self-developed chip.
He, who is also the company's founder, made the remarks ahead of Xpeng's Global Brand Night event in Hong Kong, when the EV maker's latest products and technologies, including drones and autonomous driving platform, will be displayed.
