Xiaopeng Yuan Tingting: The second generation of VLA will understand the world like a human being and will be mass produced in the first quarter of next year.

On November 7, at the "Future Travel Global Development" forum of the 2025 CIIE hosted by Blue Whale News, Yuan Tingting, Senior Director of Product at Xiaopeng's Autonomous Driving Center, said that the second generation VLA of Xiaopeng will begin mass production in the first quarter of 2026. From the current generalization test, there are many surprises, with many superior decision-making capabilities that were not seen in the previous generation models, performing excellently in cities, parks, and small roads. Yuan Tingting explained that the second generation VLA of Xiaopeng is a VLA, but also a global model. It has removed the crutch of language and shifted from translation-driven to direct-driven, providing a more advanced and thorough solution, it is the fundamental path to achieving general physical intelligence. "Essentially, it is the ultimate end-to-end solution. We have always believed that the best things must be the simplest, because it requires no data labeling, and there is no loss of information. Of course, it also brings us great surprises, showing powerful emergent capabilities."
