Chinese EV-Maker XPeng’s Affiliate Tests Self-Flying Car in Dubai

A self-flying car developed by an affiliate of Chinese electric-car maker XPeng Inc. finished its first overseas test flight on Monday in Dubai, a modest step towards the company’s goal of starting sales within the next two years.

The XPeng X2, developed by XPeng Aeroht which calls itself Asia’s largest flying car company, is one of several so-called electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle (eVTOL) projects now underway worldwide.
