Recently, the CEO of XPeng, He Xiaopeng, talked about his firsthand involvement with Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology in the fast-changing world of autonomous driving. In California for a few days, he put FSD version 12.3.6 through its paces and compared it to a ride in a Waymo vehicle.
Downtown San Francisco and tech-focused Silicon Valley were two places that Xiaopeng’s journey took him to.

His final words? Waymo came out on top in terms of performance especially when dealing with the urban complexity of San Francisco while FSD stood out on highways in Silicon Valley driving smoothly across multiple road types and recording impressive scores.
The development of FSD technology has had an impact on Xiaopeng who recognized how much progress had been made within just months.
He envisions a highly promising future for self-driving cars as he anticipates that 2025 is going to be another breakthrough year like the “Chat GPT moment” when fully autonomous vehicles become a reality.
It’s not just about looking at what is happening with FSD; we are also learning from its strengths so that we can build them into our own systems.
As they strive for growth together as one, Xiaopeng emphasized that companies such as these learn from one another, iterate, and collaborate towards improving traveling experiences for all people involved in this particular sector or any other industry at large.
Xiaopeng mentioned that the video of XPeng team’s FSD is being prepared as the excitement mounts. This can be more like an answer to a query by the community on whose system is better XNGP or FSD.
