   XPeng CEO forecasts L4 autonomous driving landing in H2 2028

   XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng said at the 2026 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference that L4 technology is expected to land around the second half of 2028 and requires coordinated development across software and hardware. XPeng said its second-generation VLA, built on a unified technology foundation, connects L2 through L4 capabilities. At the same event, Horizon Robotics CEO Yu Kai cited a top-tier benchmark of one critical takeover per 100 kilometers for urban NOA, while Momenta CEO Cao Xudong gave a more optimistic forecast for the pace of improvement.

   XPeng's He Xiaopeng: autonomous driving's second half brings three shifts and three metrics

   XPeng Group chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng told the 2026 World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference that autonomous driving's "second half" will bring three major changes: software shifting from conventional software to AI models and data, hardware moving from partial components to full-stack coupling across chips, chassis, cockpit, self-driving and the whole vehicle, and regulation and deployment shifting as countries worldwide push L2, L3 and L4 rules and explore where L4 and L5 can be deployed. He also named three metrics absent from the first half — safety collision mileage, users' all-scenario coverage and the share of users willing to pay — saying together they would form numerical targets guiding better experience, safety and returns. In a separate report by Yicai, he said autonomous driving should skip L3, arguing it only transfers safety responsibility to the system while user experience is not optimized and, crucially, safety does not improve; he expects opportunity in L2, L4 and a redefined L5, calling L3 essentially an enhanced form of L2.
