Xpeng Motors serves as the secretary for the new working group OICA to promote global collaboration in autonomous driving.
Xpeng Motors stated that the company will serve as the secretary of the newly established working group "Scene-related Information Exchange Working Group" ( TF-ESRI ) under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe ( UNECE ), assisting in coordinating and managing this working group, and helping to promote information and experience exchange among participants.
This working group is affiliated with UNECE GRVA / WP.29. Xpeng Motors stated that TF-ESRI is co-chaired by France and China, bringing together regulatory agencies, approval bodies, technical experts, and industry representatives from around the world to share real-world experiences and insights related to autonomous driving.
Xpeng Motors stated that the company will jointly support this working group with the secretariat of SAE. SAE International is a global association representing engineering and technical professionals.
This appointment has received full support from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers ( CAAM ). Xpeng Motors stated that CAAM is its representative institution in OICA. This arrangement reflects Xpeng Motors' active participation in international discussions on autonomous driving and also demonstrates CAAM's commitment to strengthening global cooperation and knowledge sharing in the fields of intelligent connected and autonomous vehicles.
Support for international collaboration in autonomous driving
Xpeng Motors stated that as autonomous driving technology continues to evolve, related systems are being developed and tested in an increasingly diverse range of road and traffic environments.
TF-ESRI provides a platform for participants from different regions to share practical experiences and information, including road conditions, traffic behavior, safety performance, accident investigations, and operational experiences. Xpeng Motors states that by bringing together regulatory agencies, approval bodies, technical experts, and industry representatives, this working group helps to deepen the understanding of autonomous driving across various markets.
Xpeng Motors stated that the company will support this working group together with the secretariat of SAE. SAE International focuses on engineering and technical standards and will bring more technical expertise and perspectives to the discussions. The secretariats of both parties will jointly promote the exchange of information and experience among participants.
Support for the safe implementation of autonomous driving
Xpeng Motors stated that as autonomous driving regulations such as those set by the United Nations R185 and GTR26 enter the implementation phase, the industry is preparing for broader deployment, and the demand for such international exchanges is also on the rise.
Xpeng Motors stated that autonomous driving systems will face different road networks, traffic patterns, and operating conditions in various markets. Sharing experiences from these environments helps stakeholders better understand the range of scenarios these systems may encounter, as well as the safety considerations involved.
Such communication can support the development, testing, approval, and operation of autonomous driving systems, and help developers, operators, regulatory agencies, and approval bodies prepare for deployments in different markets, including future autonomous mobility services.
Contribute to the global knowledge sharing framework
Xpeng Motors stated that TF-ESRI provides an opportunity for global stakeholders to learn from each other, which helps to build a broader understanding of the real operating conditions and safety challenges of autonomous driving.
With the joint chairmanship of France and China, the participation of SAE and OICA members, as well as parties from around the world, Xpeng Motors looks forward to supporting an open and constructive exchange of information and experiences, benefiting a broader autonomous driving ecosystem.
Xpeng Motors stated that by serving as the secretary for OICA, the company will continue to contribute to international cooperation and knowledge sharing, supporting the development of autonomous driving technology and future automated mobility services in a direction that is safe, scalable, and more globally collaborative.
