Li Liyun will replace Wu Xinzhou who is departing the firm for personal and family reasons, the Guangzhou-based new energy vehicle maker said yesterday. Li has spearheaded the development of the company’s second-generation intelligent driver assistance system XNGP, which was first installed on its latest sports utility vehicle Xpeng G6 that was launched in June. Although Xpeng did not state where Wu would go, tech website Pandaily reported yesterday that he is joining US chip giant Nvidia as global vice president. Wu joined Xpeng in 2019 and spearheaded the development of its intelligent driving system.
