Xpeng is challenging the future, from cars to robots to artificial intelligence.

Xpeng, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer founded just 12 years ago, has made significant strides in Europe, particularly in Germany, where it plans to deliver over 8,000 vehicles by 2026 and double that number by 2027. During an event in Munich attended by over 1,000 guests, founder He Xiaopeng emphasized the company’s mission to use technology to change mobility while keeping it accessible. Xpeng is heavily investing in artificial intelligence (AI), developing systems like Vision–Language–Action (VLA) trained on vast amounts of real-world driving data. The company has also created specialized AI microprocessors, reducing reliance on cloud computing. Xpeng aims to expand beyond cars into robotics and autonomous flight, with modular aircraft already receiving 7,000 pre-orders.

'No Terminator in Schools': Furious protests against the introduction of an AI robot into classrooms

Il Salamanca City Central School District, in New York, ha cercato di introdurre un robot con intelligenza artificiale, chiamato Sally, nelle sue aule. Il progetto, promosso dal sovrintendente scolastico, era stato sviluppato in modo partecipativo coi studenti e presentato come positivo e umile. Tuttavia, il piano ha suscitato forti proteste da parte di genitori, insegnanti e gruppi locali, preoccupati per l'introduzione di tecnologie AI, specialmente di robot con sembianze umane. La sospensione del progetto è stata annunciata dopo la controversia, con il sovrintendente Mark Beehler che ha chiarito che Sally non è un 'Terminator'. La commissaria statale per l'istruzione, Betty A. Rosa, ha espresso preoccupazione per l'uso di tali tecnologie nell'ambiente educativo.
