Xpeng G7 will be the first car equipped with onboard AI integrated into the predictive display
The first car with AI: introducing the Xpeng G7
The Xpeng G7, a mid-size electric SUV, is being launched in China as the world’s first car with AI. While the Xpeng G6 and G9 models will debut in Italy this June, the company’s latest innovation is already making waves at home. The G7 blends artificial intelligence with futuristic design, further pushing the boundaries of mobility. Xpeng is no stranger to innovation, its flying car prototype had already turned heads at Dubai’s Gitex. But what does it really mean to drive a vehicle with AI?
AI-powered CPU
This new battery electric vehicle (BEV) features a high-performance CPU and an advanced windshield display developed by Huawei. Instead of a digital dashboard behind the steering wheel, all key driving information is projected directly onto the windshield using an augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD). As shown in the official photo, the Chasing Light Panorama AR-HUD overlays navigation arrows and safety alerts directly on top of the real-world road view.
A display that predicts what’s next
Drivers see a “digital lane carpet” that clearly indicates which lane to follow, while navigation arrows align seamlessly with the actual road. Powered by the new AI chip, the system can highlight potential hazards before they occur. It’s a predictive display, virtually 87 inches wide, bright and sharp enough to perform in all lighting conditions, reducing driver distraction and improving road safety.
Is this the future of driving?
Calling it an AI car might sound like a marketing gimmick, but the G7 is equipped with an in-house developed AI chip capable of L3-level computing power. This marks a step toward more advanced autonomous driving. The vehicle features a 218-kilowatt (292-horsepower) electric motor paired with a lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack from CALB. While the base price in China is set at an aggressive $32,400, international markets are expected to see higher pricing.
