Chinese electric vehicle startup Xpeng reveals plans for a rideable robot unicorn for children

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Chinese electric vehicle startup Xpeng is targeting a younger demographic with its latest invention: a robot unicorn children can actually ride. The'Little White Dragon' will be equipped with an artificial intelligence that allows it to maneuver autonomously, navigate various terrains and recognize people and objects, and provide'intelligent emotional interaction,' according to The South China Morning Post. Like a real unicorn, this four-legged wonder doesn't seem to exist--not yet, anyway. Xpeng released a computer-animated video on Tuesday showing the Little White Dragon playing with a young boy. The company's robotics division hopes the creature will become the first smart vehicle for children and launch'a robotic ecosystem' based on the company's smart-car business, according to SCMP.
