Overview
Inceptio's mass-produced heavy trucks running the Xuanyuan system, built with Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle and Sinotruk. Deployed commercially at scale (2,000+ trucks by Dec 2024, 4,000+ by Nov 2025). IMPORTANT: these operate at L2+/L3 driver-assist with a human driver present and supervising; they are not L4 driverless. No autonomy Brain entity is modeled (Xuanyuan is assist-tech, captured in keyFacts).
