[XPENG](/companies/xpeng-robotics.md) says it named its robotaxi business [XPENG](/companies/xpeng.md) YOYO on October 8, 2026 and opened public online registration in [China](/locations/china.md) through invitation codes, with a dedicated page on its website. XPENG describes August 2026 [Guangzhou](/locations/guangzhou.md) remote-testing qualification allowing road tests without a safety operator on designated test roads, and earlier paid internal testing at 1 renminbi per ride; Automotive World reports rides so far were limited to staff. The sources do not name the city where invited public riders will be served; Guangzhou is where the vehicle is built and where XPENG holds testing approval. XPENG did not disclose fleet size or fares. This is an invitation-based beta, not a full public launch.
