Electric vehicle (EV) maker Xpeng has expanded use of its self-driving system to all cities in mainland China in a bid to attract more local users ahead of the China debut of Tesla’s competing software, known as Full Self-Driving (FSD).

With the move, Guangzhou-based Xpeng becomes the first mainland carmaker to make a semi-autonomous driving system operational nationwide.
