XPeng's MONA L03 Will Automatically Pull Over and Call for Help If the Driver Passes Out

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

XPeng announced Tuesday that its MONA L03 will be the first production vehicle to ship with a driver incapacitation assist system — a safety feature that takes over when the driver can’t.

The system is designed for highway assisted-driving scenarios. If the car detects that the driver has lost the ability to drive — due to a medical emergency, sudden illness, or any other cause of incapacitation — it will automatically pull over to the side of the road and call for emergency rescue. XPeng released a demonstration video alongside the announcement showing the feature in action.

XPeng CEO: We'll See L5 Self-Driving Cars in 3 to 5 Years — and AI Is Why

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng has a prediction that would have sounded delusional two years ago: fully driverless cars, capable of handling any road in any condition, will be on sale within five years. He’s not hedging.

Speaking after the MONA L03 China debut event on Thursday, Xiaopeng told journalists that artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed the math on autonomous driving. “If you’d asked me two years ago, I wouldn’t have believed L4 and L5 could truly land in our lifetime,” he said. “But in the last two years, AI has had a massive推动作用 on autonomous driving and even physical AI. I firmly believe that in the next 3 to 5 years, we won’t just see L4 deployment — we’ll see L5 too, operating safely and smoothly in every scenario. The pace will exceed everyone’s imagination.”
