XPENG names its robotaxi business XPENG YOYO and opens invite-only public testing
Overview
XPENG has named its robotaxi business XPENG YOYO and launched a ride-hailing mini program that lets invited members of the public test the service using invitation codes.
The company says its first production robotaxi, based on the flagship GX model, rolled off the line in May 2026 and has completed more than 2,000 internal test rides in Guangzhou.
XPENG says YOYO runs on four in-house Turing AI chips delivering 3,000 TOPS, a second-generation VLA model, and a vision-based approach that does not use high-definition maps or LiDAR. These are the company's own claims about its technology.
The testing is limited: invitation-only trials do not mean the service is fully open to the public.
