XPENG's robotaxi push just got a name — YOYO — and an invite-code mini program in Guangzhou moving it from internal testing toward public trials. 2,000+ internal rides logged, driverless road-test app

What happened: XPENG announced XPENG YOYO as the global brand name for its robotaxi business and launched a ride-hailing mini program inviting the public to test via invitation codes, moving from internal validation to real-world user testing. Key numbers: First production robotaxi based on the GX model rolled off the line in May 2026. Why it matters: The company aims to link Level 2 driver assistance with Level 4 autonomy on one platform, while its business model depends on vehicle sales, technology services and order revenue. Profitability and reliability at scale remain unproven.
