XPeng: the Yoyo cleared for L4 robotaxi trials across Guangzhou
Where it stands: XPeng's Yoyo has been cleared to conduct L4 robotaxi trial operations across Guangzhou. Public access is initially expanding through invitation codes, and the effort is framed as a step toward public service. What to watch next is when the trials begin, how large the fleet is, whether a safety driver is present, when access moves beyond invitation codes, and which cities follow.
